I’m a black sheep of sorts in my family. I’m the only one here who eats meat. It’s not such a bad thing I reckon. I don’t have to share when we go out to dinner together.
Yeah, my parents and grand mom have reconciled themselves to the fact that it’s too late to change my eating habits now. October 31st saw the family go out to Spiga for dinner. I ordered a bacon and prawn fettuccine. The waiter almost put the plate down on my grandmother’s place. The face she made was something that’s taken me years to get used to.
It’s amazing how many other things the mind finds to do when one has exams starting in 2 days. Haven’t touched them books. Spent a half hour learning how to play minesweeper from my sister. Think I finally cracked it. Apparently theres some logic to it...
Someone should ask Bacchi Karkaria to give writing a rest. Her article in today’s STOI was particularly stupid. Jug Suraiya ... now theres a funny man.
Went for a long walk . The weather in Bangalore has been beautiful the past few days. The books could wait . Its seemed a pity to pass out on a day like this.
Watched an hour of the Simpson's Hallowe'en special .. Matt Groening is a genius. It was funny shit.
Something about starting a blog. Feel the need to keep writing. Cant think of a way to end this post. Punchline anyone ?

Captain Subtext
Aptly titled. This post is dedicated to my Homiebro. For widening my horizons and teaching me new things about the English language (or a strange form of the same). As I recall , it all started when he once asked me to give him a shout after class.
'Give me a shout' was at once incorporated into my list of things to say at least once a day to some unsuspecting person . I even added a template of the same on my cell phone.
As wannabe as this may make me out to be.
It was followed by 'keeping it real' , 'hanging a left' , 'homie girl' and getting together and 'kicking it' .
So , thanks heaps , bro (thats australian infiltration) .
Moze on (!)
Woke up this morning , went for a drive listening to what most people would label crap . Found this old tape with pop hits .. then again , maybe not so old. Enrique , Blue and N'sync. It vexed me that i knew all the words.. hmmm . Sometimes mindless music is good therapy. I've been over analyzed lately.
10:07 Monday morning . Have an exam tomorrow . Havent touched them books yet.Been putting that away for long enough(?) .
Procrastination is a terrible thing , I must stop tomorrow. (groan).

True Existentialism
Osho - The man is a genius.
Its taken me three months to get through reading 'The tantra experience' and I have now 'embarked upon a new journey' titled 'Courage-The Joy of Living Dangerously'.
I am truly reading the book with an open mind. You need that -- an open mind. Otherwise one would keep the book down after 2 pages and label the man a fruitcake.
'When one is a Christian , a Mohammedan or a Hindu , one is like an ostrich - with your head burried in the ground' . Thats how the book starts . Like i said, to get through 200 pages of it you need an open mind and a lot of patience.
Having gotten through about half the book , the past week has been eventful. i've gone on a Buddha Bar trip . (Spiritual music , sure dee , thats where all the peace comes from . )
I even made a tape of the same for the boyfriend . This is me trying to increase positive energy in the cosmos.
Sat by myself waiting for Nina and Chippy at the ledge. Was getting insights on a new way of living. Some first years come up to me. Made fun of what i was reading. So what if the man says 'love is a rare flowering'. I try to explain one has not to be gramatically correct to make immense sense. They laughed their heads of anyway . Got back to reading . The first thing I read - People can laugh at you, it will do them good -- laughter is always good medicine , healthful. The man has an answer to everything. Healthy , surely thats what he meant.
Osho Gyan - 'If you love someone , give him infinite space. Youre very being is just a space for him to grow in, to grow with. The mind interferes and tries to posses the person, then love is destroyed.' Heres where the boyfriend enters scene again. Didnt call him the entire day , he hasnt called either .Thats me giving him infinite space Will meditate on this fact . Arbit. Thats what the word 'infinte' is.
Wonder how long the peace, calm and positive energy will last. Lets see how long before I want a new cell phone with a camera . I havent come to the chapter about letting go of material desires yet.
