borderline

i am teh only one sitting in the lab right now (almost... the lab attendant is here too... somewhere) next to the keyboard is an empty coffee cup and an even emptier bottle of dew. i would take the picture of my cubicle right now, but what's the point? i wont be able to upload it for a while. anyways, i'm breathing easy... :) i have an exam im trying to work on, but it isnt happening abhi. done a lot of it... designed the framework for analysis, critiqued the existing situation according to that, sketched a solution... now i need to fill in teh blanks. and dont feel like it anymore. bleh. im feeling silly abhi. really really silly. feel like singing. i think. except i cant sing :s oh blah. i otta get back to work. i really otta. waisay, aaj was supposed to be basant. before they banned it. the ban has its good points, it has its bad points. the benefits of the ban outweigh the drawbacks significantly... except that i wont be able to fly kites this year :( that sux. i love this season only because i get to climb a rooftop, fly kites, compete, and win some and lose others :) and i get my fingers cut. aint happenin this year. ab kuch nai ho sakta ------------------------------------------------------------- i splurged yesterday... :p bought coelho's the zahir... which reminds me, i totally just finished the bourne ultimatum... and let me tell you, it was positively by far the worst of the three... it's like, ludlum had all these ideas, these confrontation scenarios he had planned between bourne and carlos... and he just HAD to put them ALL in the book... so he did. except there was absolutely no linkage between them, no intricate unraveling of a well thought-out plot... it was like, ok, i want to do a confrontation in miami, but umm... lets see... since i havent mentioned miami before, let me bring in a character who i hadnt even conceived in the entire series, but anyways, let me just make him appear out of a hat because it serves the greater purpose of creatin a showdown between my two protagonists. anways, i literally had to drag myself across teh book. definitely not worth the effort, but seeing as i HAD started it... khair. so that wraps up ludlum for me... now i gotta (start) finish zahir. coelho isnt my supremo authoro evero, but really, he does have his hand on the pulse of people... what drives them, pulls them back... their desires, dreams... to have such insight is remarkable... so i guess i read him out of respect for that ability. i wish to be able to hit the nail as well as he does. then ill write better stories; until then, let me just read. i might be watching memoirs of a geisha on tuesday... but im thinking... do i want to read it first? ya should i go ahead with just watching it... pata nai... tuesday is three days away anyways... ------------------------------------------------------------- if i could play the guitar, i would've liked much to do a cover version of kid rock's only god knows why. i think i can come up with a better version ... i mean, i can tell how i want the song to sound like. and taht isnt necessarily very close to what it sounds like abhi. ... Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this I said it too many times And I still stand firm You get what you put in And people get what they deserve Still I ain't seen mine No I ain't seen mine I've been giving just ain't been gettin' I've been walking that thin line So I think I'll keep on walking With my head held high I'll keep moving on and only God knows why... ------------------------------------------------------------- there's a very strong rumour going around these days. they say musharraf's days are numbered. i wonder... and no, blogspot still cant be accessed without guardster/anonymizer/yeh woh

Salamz nursery rhyme specialist....ANQ turned three in december, and has since been working on a NR fusion project where Mary's Little Lamb does a bit of a frolicking atop the clock before flying off to chanda mama to kick humpty dumpty off of the edge and him falling down crying out ANQ's name...thats puting it all very elaborately, but her version has more spunk in it since it leaves a lot to one's imagination.

p.s. I hope Musharraf's days are numbered.

p.p.s I updated...and browsed through my fav. blogs on the same day!
