New York, oh boy, it’s just like in the movies! I was beyond excited when I got to know that I would be going to New York even though winter was just about trickling in and I hated the cold. It was just absolutely awesome. I was warned though that I would either love it [...]

Recently, the bus I was travelling in, was stopped at Rajagiriya for about 10 minutes, or possibly more. I was seated, and lost admiring my now quite grown nails, which is my latest pastime these days, when suddenly the man behind me started screaming at the conductor. He asked the conducted, extremely rudely – isn’t [...]

What’s so entertaining about wrestling or WWF or whatever it’s called? What’s possibly fascinating about watching two people pounce on each other like two hungry animals? I find it boring, actually and disturbing. Yes, I know nothing about this ‘sport’. Seriously, what’s the mentality of these people like? Oh, they’re professionals, trained to do that, [...]

I know it’s not worth it, but what am I to do? Why are you so rude to me? I just can’t take this anymore, Why do you just push me aside like this? Do you not even care one little bit? I know I’m dumb and slightly off in the head, But what about [...]

Usual sunday. Nothing much happened in the morning. Afternoon came – ate, had a nap, was on msn, got a little bit of work done. A few harsh words here and there. Mood was spoilt.
