Went down to esplanade on sat with mishtudi and rinkudi to catch the afro-cuban allstars perform. Though not really my kind of music, i thought it might be enjoyable to spend some time with the two di's after so long. And it was fun! We chatted and laughed for most of an hour during dinner befotre heading for the concert.

The concert was different. I didn't really know what to expect, but I certainly didn't expect what i got!
That energy from the 17 man band was amazing! They got almost the whole crowd dancing to the latin beats! Amazing! People were doing crazy things. Some were really good, others were, well, ...

Anyway, its gotten me inspired to learn latin and ballroom dancing.
Now if only i had the time!

Anyway, this was followed by drinks at chijmes, were we were joined by soumyo. Never met this guy before, but he seems pretty nice. We all were chatting again (seem to be doing that a lot), and having peach sangria at Laviva. We were sitting al fresco, and they had a band playing inside, who were doing the covers of various songs. They were pretty good. At about 1130, my parents came to join us, and as usual, my father took over the story telling. His life is a novel, and he was teling us about some of the unusual experiences that he had had. Heard them before , but they still got us allme included) laughing till tears formed in our eyes.

Finally, went home at 1+ , woke up at 1130 wit a headache, and basically wasted the weekend away!

I'm so gonna die this week! :P

WEnt to the gym this morning...Thre , i saw eric and the first tyhing he said to me is"whats wrong with your face?" followed almost immediately with, "you've put on weight!I can see your love handles!" hahahabloodyha!

The sad thing is ...its true. Late dinners and sudden cravings are making me put on a lot of weight. Add to it an unpredictable excercise routine and plenty of medicine and you've got the recipe for one seriously bloated arpan! Help!

And next week is such a killer! monday is pre op meeting, tuesday is warding into hospital, wed is the op, thursday i get discharged, friday I got a midterm, saturday another midterm, monday a third midterm AND a project due that i can only start now because the lecturer just finished teaching the subject!

And i had to have said yes to going to a jazz concert this saturday! Oh what oh what shall i do!

I am so screwed!

have you ever met a person
someone who comes
and insidiously, yet unwittingly, takes over your life
just by being who they are

choking your thoughts, and marking you
like a brand, seared into your very being,
bonding you,
and no matter how you struggle
you can not seem to break free

yet, just as mysteriously as that person came,
they leave, and you can breathe again,
heaving a sigh of relief
as you welcome the silence and the solitude,
the

and then you realize,
that bitter ironical truth,
that when all is said and done,
you can never truly be free

because when all is said and done
you still have
the memories
and those are chains
that only time can break.
