it has been quite a while since i came back to this place - i checked it up - it has been around a month. this place used to represent the idle musings of a wandering mind. not any more......my mind has been reined in by the forces that i have chosen for myself. the fall semester has caught up with me in full steam and spare times seem a fantasy in the deep end of a rabbit hole. lot of things have been happening for sure apart from the usual unending vicious cycles of assignments, readings and tests ad infinitum.


i have found love in myriad forms including in a form that belongs to the same species has mine. and as mornings become afternoons and afternoons become evenings in the blink of an eye, the experiences have been precious, the warmth all enveloping and the joy all pervading. it has been like the flight of two swans on a full moon night who soar high into the clouds and gather the pure lunar nectar bathed in the placid white light, all but brightening up the whiteness that represents two pure souls.

my tryptic is 2/3rds on its way to completion. the 1/3rd part starts soon and better should because since i ended up ordering the age of empires cd and that is going to make things tighter than they usually are. but it was in succesion to this wireless optical mouse that i ended up with and which was a pre-requisite for this game. i am waiting all over again to have some forts and palaces and some armies and trebuchets. its fun to conquer the known world and i loved death matches.


i am also waiting for buddha.....one of these days buddha gave me an impromptu visit during one of my impromptu meditations and pulsated in my being for quite sometime leading me to believe that he desires an entry in my life. but the stone buddha on which i had my eyes on was bereft of impeccable craftmanship which led me to defer the decision till i find a buddha suitable for my home. i am looking for a buddha with a specific hand pose or hast mudra......hand poses are so cool. one can convery so much just by positioning the hands in a certain way. to say of hand poses the last part my tryptic totally involves a hand position.....the position of hand that denotes granting fearlessnes. the other day it was fun......while on a look around for suitable buddha........we had these miniature ladybirds combat with each other in this cute shop. that reminds me that i have also to get this cone thing and a soapstone base for that. i also want to buy a fountain. yea!! wishlist, wishlist. also perhaps a humidifier and air ioniser. winter is fast arriving.

today was also the day i took my first baby steps on to freeway driving in usa. i wouldn't have done it but for an oppurtunity that i took on inspite of being reluctant about it. it was actually easier than i might have wondered and i guess a lot of my hesitation has been grounded for all future times to come. but what a sucker that the oil prices had to rise now. though compared to lot of countries including india its still quite less-may be less than or as good as bottled water which is amazing. guess i will try to be back whenever i can. HOT.
