Small life..
I scribble my thoughts here and there, and now am doing some cleanup as I am about to step into a new change in life. I found this and felt like preserving it - "I feel I have a strong need to create a purpose, a task, a kind of commitment that takes my time, my energy and in turn gives me more energy and zest to live life. " And I had curiously titled it “small life”!
PubLish…
When am about to click the publish button to upload a post, I wonder what amount of freedom technology has bestowed us. I have read about struggles of authors trying to find publishers to reach the reader. But here we are today, at our own whim and click of a button “publishing” happens! There was a time I wishfully wanted to be a publisher, so that I could read many books for free!
Am reading this wonderful book called “The black swan” by Taleb in the genre – Economics and Philosophy – quite a heady combination but thoroughly entertaining. I also picked up “Emma” by Jane Austin yesterday and am already hooked. I had been wanting to read a Jane Austin from sometime now. I take longer to complete books these days, but at least am reading is what makes me happy. :)

Summer vacation is here…
Long time since my last post….
As I walk to catch my office bus these days do not find the usual business in the mornings. The girl who smiles at me as she waits for her school bus, the smaller kids playing with each other while their parents talk, all waiting for the school buses- all these people seem to be taking a break and enjoying vacation! Miss those summer holidays! When I was a kid I used to wonder sometimes how much fun the adults have, since they have a lot of control and no dependency, as an adult you don’t need to "listen" to your parents, do as you please, have no exams etc. But now I can’t believe am envying school kids! :) Such is life…
Hmm one thing am excited about is my new smart phone- Samsung Ace. Looks cool. So many features, wonder how much of it I will use.. :) Am enjoying watching videos and hope to catch the semi final match on Wednesday. Just hope India wins and goes to the final! Fingers crossed.
