update

i'm tempted to leave the post empty, but it's been done before, so that would no longer be funny. although i'd like to say i was enforcing a no-internet/no-laptop policy to celebrate the end of my semester, i sheepishly accept that i'm too weak and unmotivated for that, but am glad to add that the three-day mtnl strike (wherein cables were cut and lines down) bestowed that kindness instead.

saturday brought with it the delightful election results that the country has gone nuts over (i'm talking about the stock exchange that went crazy yesterday!). and after all that whining about narcissus and goldmund, i couldn't put it down until i was done with the last page. that was past 3 in the morning.

most of sunday was spent at my sister's new place. i had hoped to offer some help with setting up their house, but jet lag hit again and i was overcome by the greatest desire to sleep. so sleep i did, until it was time to leave!

monday was my very first visit to khan market for the summer. ah, the joy! it was apparently 42 degrees, but i couldn't feel the heat at all. it was nice to bake, in fact, for a change. i took p and her cousin to cafe turtle, the choicest of cafes i have seen in delhi thus far. holds several candles to the cafes in berkeley :).

miscellaneous: yesterday was the k-day for movies: i saw kashmir ki kali, kate and leopold, and karz. as for books, i have devoured four since narcissus: franny and zooey, i too had a dream, the equation that couldn't be solved, and my antonia. not sure what to embark on next - suggestions and reminders are welcome.
