It was bit stressful last week. With parents around, son’s troubles and work and fatigue and everything else. I discussed it with N and after that I am feeling little better. Today I am going to see Dr and I believe we have increase the dose since even 300 mg worked only for a week. I am also going to check with him If I can increase within 7 days or 10 days. Let’s hope that it will stop at 400 mg and it will not continue on and on.

I haven’t seen any movies for so long. Waiting for things to settle down and then I will go for some movie. I finished ‘Sweet Thursday’ and now reading ‘Of Mice and Men’. I have got this scrabble game on my mobile and man its so addictive. I have urge to go on and on.. But time is always less…

Anyway better days are ahead and I am expecting a more relaxed and book-ful days ahead …

Right now I don’t have that much office work so it’s kind of good and bad. Good because no work related stress  but bad because its difficult for me to fill my time-sheets.  I am reading abha dawesar’s Babyji novel .. its good  though there is some overdose of sex and mischief .. also it seems like author’s other novels also have overemphasis on act of passions. Whatever it is atleast Babyji I am going to finish. If not anything else its probably liberating to see an Indian woman like the one portrayed in Babyji.

Last Saturday I went to the book sale and got some nice books for my son and for myself. At this moment I am having quite a books in an ongoing parallel reading here is the list…

• The Bookstore Moue


• Granta 57 (India Special edition)


• Freedom at Midnight


• Babyji


• Sweet Thursday

There are also atleast 10-20 other pretty interesting books waiting for my reading pleasure.

It’s kind of a mixed bag here. Parents are here. I have found a good writer in J Steinbeck.  I am reading Sweet Thursday now and planning to read Cannery Row and ‘Of Mice and Men’ soon. In terms of work things are going stable. I finished my first toastmaster’s speech and planning to do the next one soon.  But I have to keep myself dragged to  finish the office. Man I tell you , its tough.

It is sometime difficult to appreciate the philistine/backward activities of my folks. I am kind of in a loose-loose situation and I don’t what is the best way to handle it. Lets see how I manage this thing.

I have to become more strict with my exercise otherwise my tummy is becoming a gas factory. Here also I have to drag myself to do the exercise everyday.
