Another day in paradise....

feels great to be back home. This vacation is totally different from the previous one. In Jan when I had come back home, there was so much attension and too many different things goin around. It was really hectic and I barely got any time to cool my heels.
This time its different. I feel as if I am back to my normal life. Simply chilling out nowadays. Started my reading again. I hv barely read anything in last 2 yrs. I cant bliv that! I was a voracious reader once upon a time. And for last 2 yrs, my extra curricular reading was only the news paper! Reading Ayn Rand now.
I think I am gonna cherish this 1 month like anything. Looks like everything is falling into place. Getting my stuff done on time. getting back into my regular habits that I had 2 yrs ago. getting more desciplined. Being myself again! feels great.
I have promised myself to do few things. I just hope that I keep those promises as I hv kept others.

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

Had an amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing birthday party last week. Should have had written about it on my b'day...but anyways, der aaye durust aye!
As usual I was all hyper about my birthday for 2 weeks or so. I know I would be same even on my 50th birthday!
Everyone came at around 12 and smeared me with cake. I dont know why I took efforts of cleaning myself up coz immediately afetr coming out karthik poured lotsa beer on me. It was the first booze party in the grp. Wildest party ever! Even last year we had a terrific party on my b'day. Of course my roomies and my CS gang was there. Partied till 6 am and not to mention the drive till Niagara at 4 am! Missed Apoo like anything :(

Found this online.....

"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die."
