after a long break

Before I forget let me jot down interesting things that happened in the past month:
-- first, there was the deadline. It was tiring but fun. Let us see how it turns out to be. Learned a bit in the process, and all those long days were very enjoyable, but a bit tiring.
-- went to Jama Masjid: had (liver) kebabs on the footsteps of the mosque, witnessed a unusually skilled guy tossing giant parathas into hot oil, had a nice stroll in the courtyard of the mosque, had a roll a karim's, had bare miyan's kebab, had phirni, and stopped by at moti mahal on the way back.
-- went to imf 2-3 times. Met some new folks, and had a few good climbs.
-- found/discovered the sabzi mandi (hidden) towards the back of south moti bagh market. Surprisingly fresh vegtables and fruits in lots of varieties.
-- had frankie for the first time
-- had a few success at cooking front.
-- visited the Lotus Temple. The bahai faith is impressive, quite some nice philosophies hidden in there. Also the architecture ...
-- the campus is too pretty these days. Did also visit the campus nursery, and rose garden across the campus. The flowers are so beautiful. I somehow feel more attracted towards the wild flowers, or the hybrid one, rather than the roses.
-- went to deer park and stopped by at naibidyam. The Hauz Khas and the ruins across offered a gentle stroll and a lazy afternoon full with memories.

Have been guilty of not reading much these days. Somehow time is running by, need to be more efficient. Also time to go out running a bit. The evening classes have sort of thrown me off schedule. I am not just motivated enough to go running in the morning.

We are off this weekend, so may be there will be some interesting thing to write down early next week. Lets see how cold and refreshing the Ganges is these days. Fresh snow melt .. may be ..
