maternal mush

have had a rather weepy couple of days.

daughter's gone back to school on sunday and every time i see something of hers lying around at home, the tears well up and i remember how much i miss her. so far, one stuffed pink poodle, a watercolour painting about 3" x 4", my own dog wagging her tail, a letter, a ratty old tee shirt, her bicycle, a framed photograph by my bedside have all triggered the waterworks.

today i have not cried at all. this is good. i hope she's coping much better.

movies

movies? what's that? i haven't seen any in so long, i ought to rescind my self proclaimed title of 'movie buff'.
'deathly hallows' has been out for three days and i am nowhere close to even planning to see it. 'action replayy' has come and gone. so has 'robot' ages ago. now there's 'guzaarish' which i want to see in spite of severe misgivings. i think [and i am embarrassed to confess] 'dabangg' was the last movie i watched in a movie theatre. sacrilege, heresy, blasphemy.
though on another note, i caught about 8 - 10 minutes of some ghastly fakeness on 'big boss'; i couldn't possibly have watched more.

shopping and packing on the cards, as daughter gets ready to head back to school.

hurrah

hurrah it's the weekend. and then i'm taking time off next week. this is as good as it gets =)

quote of the day

"sometimes we always use the internet."
actually said today by someone explaining a process to someone else.

yeh meri life hai

some phone calls. many emails. an interview or two. some time on the internet [aka my only addiction or 'moa' ]. the daily mail crossword in the economic times. striking things off the things to do list. some pressures. perhaps a meeting or two. some handholding. more time on the internet.
yeh hai meri kahani.

genesis

yet another foray into blogging. this is officially the sixth.
