I know, I know! Please forgive me, ardent followers of my blog, I haven't posted anything in a while. The last month has been quite eventful. I went home for the holidays and came back feeling rejuvenated and energized and happy. I think the trip home did good things to me. And when I thought I wouldn't TA again, I should have known. Its computer science this semester. sigh. Give me strength.

Now, With the Ram sena acting all self righteous and threatening to marry off couples who are dating? Don't you think that couples can actually use that to their advantage? Especially those who are from conservative families who do not approve of their respective boy/girlfriends? Just blame it on the sene! "Oh,well we were FORCED into it" and "um, now that we're married, you might as well approve". Wouldn't that be an easy way out? haww. It's not THAT bad a thing after all. And if you have any of those pink chaddis, post them right now. haha.

In the other news, I read some very nice books lately. Escape by Carolyn Jessop is amazing, a must read. You can Vikram chandra's Sacred Games a miss. I haven't even finished it. Gossip girl and shopaholic was nice light reading. Also The Glass Castle by Jeanette Wells was very touching. I finally read the Kite Runner, and I cried three times during the course of the entire book. Currently I'm reading The great Indian Novel by Shashi Tharoor. I must say its written very well, but equally intense. I have a feeling I'm going to take a while to finish it.

So that was what was happening in my life until.. well.. today!

Hi..Can you recommend some good books that will help lift your spirits and give you a good laugh?

Ne said...

@i think - sure!

@dinesh - hmm, for me that category is more often than not chick lit. try James Herriot or Roald Dahl. Two of my favorite authors.

Oh, btw, someone took your advice! :)

Hmm, looks like Freida Pinto's house front is already overflowing. I'd rather go to Sonam Kapoor's then!

And TA for Computer Science? Nice nice. I can TAA for the TA, if she wishes to strike a deal on part of the stipend.

I read that piece and was very amused. But it makes sense no? People should try and take advantage of it, so they know such nonsense wont work. And nice try about TAA'ing the TA! I just might send you a program to work on :P
