Fluff

I've been unable to write anything for quite some time now.
I know not why.
There are scores of thoughts swimming around in my head.
Swimming, floating, skimming the surface, delving deep into the waters.
Mangoes, fractals, Grey's Anatomy, love.
Rasgullas and Mishti Doi.
Vodka and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Thunder storms and learners' licenses.

Other random, and perhaps unnecessary, updates.

Git and I found ourselves with a free period today after break. So we headed to Selayur Hall, where the English Department has its classes. Rather ambitiously, we entered KG's II MA class, where a discussion on Post Colonialism was in progress. It really was most interesting.  

In other news, my physics practical exam went rather well, and I'm done with physics practicals 
forever! Hopefully, at least.

It's been rather cloudy in Madras the last few days owing to a depression in The Bay of Bengal.

Went for a play yesterday- 'Twelve Angry Men', put up by the Loyola Theatre Society. It really was very well done.

Finally, Sam and I ate lunch with Git and Isha in Martin Hall today. I thought the food was pretty good, but I suppose one would think otherwise if they were to eat it everyday.

Explanatory Comments

Now, since I have explained the 'Mary Poppins' part of my blog url, I suppose I should proceed to
elaborate on the rest of it.
Cream buns...well, if you've eaten one you'd know what I'm talking about. What is particularly worth mentioning is the delicate balance of chocolate and vanilla cream filling in the bun. It is perfect.
Music. Ah, I offer no explanations.
The same with Stars. Do not ask why.
Pugs. Funnily, that isn't a breed of dogs I particularly like. Give me a mongrel any day. They have the most beautiful eyes! But I liked the old Hutch advertisements rather a lot, and as you will recall, they all featured a pug in them.

...

I have an appointment with a dentist this evening. Dentists are so...clean. It's unnerving, really.
And to make matters worse, this is a new dentist. And to him I shall have to unravel the adventures of Arundhathi's teeth. Not looking forward to it.

Otherwise, things go on as usual. There's only a month of college left now before the semester exams begin. It's funny how awfully quickly this year has passed by.

The weather is actually pretty pleasant now, by Madras standards. My mum says Bangalore is hotter, and that's suprising, seeing as this is Madras, and Bangalore is...well, Bangalore.

Double-sided tape does not seem to work well on walls in Madras. I think the humidity's the problem.

True to my word, I've eaten no chocolates these last few weeks. I have, however, compensated that by eating lots of sweets.

The watermelons are back.
Present moods: empty, still, dreading afore mentioned dentist appointment.

I think I'll go drink some tea now.

Lent

Wednesday, the 6th of February, was Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Somewhat inspired by Mary, one of my classmates at college, who's decided to give up chocolates,
chips and poppadams for the forty day period before Easter, I've decided to 'give up' chocolates.
It's a bit of a fancy thing to give up, really. I suppose staying off curd, or all milk product or something more substantial is really what fasting during Lent is about. But staying off curd-the thought! I couldn't possibly manage that.

So chocolates it's going to be. Its going pretty well, actually. Except the time I forgot about it completely (I swear :)) and ate a Cadbury's eclair. But let's forget that happened.

On Easter Sunday I'm going to buy a giant chocolate Easter egg.

Blogs

Okay, so I am technically inadept, but I really must figure out how to split text into different lines. Things aren't appearing the way I want it to.  It's got to be simple enough. I'll figure it out.

Having a blog is very exciting. I do hope all this enthusiasm won't wear out too soon. 
And of course, I must choose the very week my second set of internal tests begin to create a blog.

I like italics.

I bought oranges on the train today. Eight tiny, yellowish-green oranges for ten rupees.
I'm pleased.
I like oranges.

In the beginning...

I've been meaning to do this for a long long time. After much deliberation and contemplation on blog titles and urls, and wondering whether I can write at all, here it is.  Yippdy doo!
Sooner or later I shall actually get down to writing. Au revoir, then.
