.... And I'm back!!!

... continuing the trend of increasing incoherence in my writing! All of you looking for literary genius and great penmanship, please click on the 'Next blog' link. I have decided not to use the backspace button even once while typing this post, as I just don't have the time to proof-read and edit my work. Also, typing a post in a cybercafe could be harder than you imagine. When the peace and quiet you usually need to type decent posts are taken away from you, the words just don't flow so easily. Also, those who hate blogs that ramble on about their authors life, can click on the aforementioned link. There... All disclaimers have been made!

There's just so much to write about! (Oh, for those of you readers who don't know, but actually care, today is my birthday!) Celebrating your birthday in campus full of friends is something so uplifting, that grin on your face could last the entire year. Well, let me take you all to the garden outside the pink palace, on 26th July, 2007. Few of us were sitting on the grass in a circle, praying and sharing, not very differently from the four old women sitting a few meters away from us. The sky was brilliant! The light on the leaves and in the sky had such a magical flavour to it, that it looked like a huge, well-drawn watercolour painting. It was the buzzing mosquitoes on my head that reminded me that it was real.

At this time, when I am supposed to be listening to my friends speak, my mind wanders to same time last year. I was new to Delhi then, and didn't know a soul. There wasn't anybody around to wish me happy birthday. Most of the calls came from Bombay, which made me dream of going back there... As I looked at all these new friends I made in a year, I was so grateful to God for his grace, that he even provides us with good friends!

There was a cake cutting after that meeting, with a Happy Birthday song with mock choreography! I so wish I had a camera... (Yes, I am aware I am sounding more like a sentimental girl than anything else)

There was another cake cutting session on the 27th midnight, three of my classmates came to wish me happy birthday with an expensive cake... And also with Pooja! pooja was my classmate in Xavier's, now studying in North Delhi. She came all the way down just to wish me a happy birthday! How sweet is that! I couldn't stop being grateful for such thoughtful friends! What have I ever done to be so blessed?!

Well, Enough of sentimental mushiness... Hopefully there'll be a genuinely interesting scrap next time!

Hey David.. Gave up club juggling the moment those frail paper clubs started to act funny! It doesn't last as long as I had expected. And I guess we could have made better use of our hols with the camera... Let's see if we get the time though!
