2007...

all things change.. all things turn over flop around a bit and then sort of evolve into something else... but thats a different story anyway.. merry 2007 to all my alcoholic cynical muppets.. yeah i mean you...

so i went to delhi... it was to say blissfully cold.. and i improved my vocabulary.. i learnt a new term.. 'full fail'... from the augurs of Pattu of Cornell.. full fail is a condition of alcohol poisoning so acute that you feel the need to burn the gods*... explanations will be forthcoming with exaggerated hand movements in person only...

oh in case you're wondering i had an amazing time in delhi... smoked sheesha.. helped a brother.. drank drank.. drank some more.. got sun baked at the golf club.. got me gifted a nice scarf/stole.. bought a fussy girl a pair of jeans.. she decided she isnt marrying me... i made a great friend.. cynical yet gorgeous or is it cute??.. and can she sms... hehe.. got a tooth extracted and upset some gods... polyuriated in every loo at the delhi airport at least twice while truly realizing what 'fog delay causes airport chaos' can be like if u'r in it and not reading it in the paper..

i like sms.. you know its sort of like an open conversation.. it sort of cuts across time and space in ways too personal for im's to handle... its a continuous stream of ideas and smiley faces.. and in some ways.. for people who can write what they feel easier than say it out loud.. its a great tool of expression and confession..

life is back to mumbai though.. to work and evil bosses.. life is back to mundanity and schedules.. life is back to tropical climates where you can actually feel your ends..

lifes back to here.. and now.. lets see what i manage to make of 2007..
