day 2

of thanksgiving break. it's cloudy outside but sunny inside - as i listen to cd's that haven't been touched for a while. alw made some great music. it's rare to listen to a cd and like every song that comes on. i can't wait to go home - just 4 more weeks! also, i went through paperwork and paid my bills weeks before they were due, so life - in all - feels most satisfying.

n sent out an article by shoba narayan titled "one family's journey to america and back". it made for highly evocative reading. the images that the article generates - about both the u.s. and india - are easily identified with, and make you feel right at home (admittedly more with one than the other). must read.
