Read - H.I.V.E, By Mark Walden - Artemis Fowl-ish
Reading - From Russia with love
Have, not read - In Her Majesty's Secret Service
Don't ask.

Going to watch - Jumper
Have, not seen - Micheal Clayton, No Country for Old Men, Juno - Will see tonight and tomorrow.
Yes, I know I should watch these and not stupid Jumper, but, I have tickets for Jumper and I have these at home and can see them any time. Social interaction. Yay me.

Amma is having a meeting in the living room (which is a very stupid name for a room, by the way). I was in the meeting. For a while. Made some very valuable suggestions, even if I say so myself. Now, I am in bed, it is hard to type when my elbows are resting on a pillow. Would be easier if I sat up. But then I would have to sit up.

I saw a manga version of Ramayana in the bookshop today. It was beautiful. Rs.1500. No thank you. I went through the whole thing there. Very nice. Very abridged, though. Totally unlike anything I have seen or read before. Take that Uncle Pai.

Yello.

Back. Don't know for how long. I've missed you all terribly.

Happy belated birthday to me.

I quit my job. They haven't let me go yet. I will be joining my new non-IT job sometime in march.

I saw Taare Zameen Par last night. I liked the kid. Aamir Khan was in tears in every consecutive shot. He would not make a very effective special needs teacher if he was the one in need of a hug all the time, would he? I loved the fact that the kid also had his hair standing up in the middle like Aamir Khan, in the last scene.

Also saw The Kingdom last week. It didn't have subtitles when the dialogues were in arabic. Idiots.

I bunked work today. Nothing in particular. My legs and my stomach hurt - like it does before I get stomach cramps. So I decided to stay at home. Just in case. Pre-emptive measures.I really have nothing much going on at work right now.

Anyway, new job is going to be 6 days a week. Torture. I hope I don't go nuts. And, intial training is going to be in my home town. You know what that means? I'm going to be living with my parents for a few months. Lovely. And my grandmother. I love them, I hope I survive. Death by overdose of family. Will send interesting conversation snippets. I hope to ban the M word as soon as I get there.

What else is new? What is going on in your lives?
