vacation..

Vacation- The time when time flies.


The time when there are a hundred things on the to-do list. The things that remain there.
The time when you want to do everything ‘tomorrow’. Sadly, ‘tomorrow’ does come, but only on the day that the vacation ends.
The time which leaves you with lots of memories and a certain amount of guilt. Important things become boring and trivial, unimportant things consume your time.
Vacation – the time which sometimes can be boring, yet comfortable in a certain mind-numbing way.
The time you start thinking about, almost a week before it begins.
The time when the mind’s bursting with a plethora of emotions- happy languidness, smug vagueness, impatient eagerness, a certain restlessness…

And one day it’s over.
Like it didn’t happen at all. Perhaps stowed away in some obscure part of the brain or a random note in a diary.

But the best thing about vacation time -->there’s always a next time!.

a li'l strange..

I just read about this cafe in Japan where something unusual goes on.. It's called the Ogori cafe..

Wanna be a good samaritan? or wanna try your luck? or wanna unleash ur satanic side?

go visit this place.. i mean..if u ever go to Japan that is..


At this cafe, you get what the person before you ordered, and the next person gets what you ordered.. you can go try your luck.. maybe u'll have a feast..maybe u'll have the cheapest, vilest stuff on the menu.. also gives you a chance to go and order for the next person..

just imagine.. you are about to order and you see your boss walking in as the next customer.. Or maybe the guy/girl you have a crush on , is the next inline and you could surprise them and get his/her attention by giving an extra generous order.. pretty useful eh? Howver, that may not be he case.. usually, you are just about to order for random strangers.. how good are you going to be?? quite a test of personality..

but personally, i'd never go there... no point! Well i could try rigging it.. go woth a bunch of frnz.. pretend to go there separately.. order for each other.. make sure you go after one another.. and get wat u want.. But then, as i said.. no point.. why take so much trouble???? go to a regular cafe..

Obsession!!!

I don’t even remember at what age I started reading. I only know that I’ve always enjoyed it. My preferences keep changing drastically, I keep picking up different genres all the time, but the presence of books in my life has been constant. From pulp fiction to core religious texts, the sight of a book has never ceased to please me. But of late, buying books has become a sort of an obsession! I keep buying them, but these days I’m not finding the time to sit down and finish a book. I get greedy , however, and everytime I buy a book I start reading it, and the situation right now is that I’ve started SEVEN different books, each belonging to a completely different world and I’m getting mixed up..
Last Friday I promised myself to stop buying anymore books, until I finish reading the ones I have. I wrote myself a stern pep talk in my diary about how I need to be more sensible n all..
And yesterday, (Sunday afternoon) I went to Odyssey to buy a CD for my uncle and damn! I came out clutching yet another book!!!


(in my defense, it was a fantasy novel about ancient Egypt and hence completely irresistible!)
