Decimation

The vagueness of last week has morphed into a very clear theme for this week - sadness and irritation....

> The characters in Raincoat, who scare you because you recognise them
> The natural disaster that caught everyone by surprise. How does one deal with the loss of 25000 people at one go? Is there a reason??? None.
> Grown men who have stopped growing...decimation of character, of skills. Reduced to blubbering idiots through romance/family demands/inner conflicts/general craziness etc. etc.

Floating

I cannot identify any defining characteristic for last week.....in fact, if I have to remember the week and myself in it, the primary sensation is one of floating

Not really sure what I am feeling....what state of mind I am in.....what am I aiming it, what I am avoiding....who plays what role in my life....what's the future of the traditionally central players (Darshan....L...)....who from the periphery will move in (Vicky...Hina..Harneet...)...

The weekend was good.....a great movie (Swades), 2 great DVDs, a pacy book read at one go (Never Tear Us Apart), long chats with Shweta and Unni, a full 8-hours sleep, the house cleaned up, a Sunday morning at Coffee Day with newspapers and tea. Aah!

Upcoming - the Christmas weekend (hopefully I will get to try out some of the new eating joints) and the scheduled New Year weekend's trip. I can see plenty of opportunities that will force me out of the current state of ambiguity, into hopefully not-too-extreme states of mind.

Life rocks.
