After a very hectic week, followed by a fabulous weekend with no access to Internet, I am back. It feels like its been such a long time..
..may be because it is spring now. The winter is finally over and after a few days of hovering between both sides of 0 C, we are now [...]

I wish I could..

Confusion O confusion

By Surya ⋅ March 8, 2005 ⋅ One comment

There are certain things that most people take for granted that I have to think for a moment. Like for example, the floor that I need to go to - do I count the ground floor as 1 or 0? I rem when I was a kid, we used to count ground as 0, and [...]

I dont sleep till 2.30 pm everyday - sadly I dont have that luxury and I have to get to work at 8.30am every morning. But its as good as not being alive. I am bored and listless and waiting for 2.30! And I check the clock every ten minutes..
