a student again

the morning and afternoon were spent in much idleness, talking about the world in its entirety. over breakfast, lunch, and tea. all seem to have merged into one another in my memories of today.

this evening, i had my first real experience of being an ldt student when i attended the mixer in ceras. a learning experience. the kind school seems to be quite filled up to the brim with.

there was a sense of strong deja vu when i was able to embarrassingly disorient myself to an extent i had experienced on a single occasion, four years ago (i could explain so you could understand, but patience ain't my forte - and not at 1am). i also met j - a most interesting student also experienced in work on india (and interested in south asia). i was pleased to know that he was in the program, and told him as much. we talked at great length about his work and my work and the work of the others in ldt.

dinner was at the b's. and was it fun. played a fruitful game of grab with p, a, and a (fruitful 'cos i won of course :P). came back home and talked forever, but for the last time we decided. there is more to life than late nights, honestly.
