I'm Back

Tashi Delay

And in case your wondering what the hell that means, it's Tibetan for "I honour and respect the place in you in which resides courage and wisdom."

And I for one, love this greeting. So much better than just 'Hi'.

May has been a month of traveling and I don't know where to begin. But everything has to start somewhere. And I'll start with my Wilson College Nature Club trek to the North-East.

I filled in pages and pages in my notebook on this trek and I'm going to do my best to put some of it down here. As much as I can before laziness overcomes me.

But before all of that, there is something I have to mention here. Something that has touched me so so much and is one of the best awards, (also my very first award!!!!)I could have ever received.
It's nice to be important
But its more important to be nice

And it comes from HomeCooked. And I just cant find the words to thank her enough for this award.

“This award will be awarded to those that are just nice people, good blog friends and those that inspire good feelings and inspiration! Those that care about others that are there to lend support or those that are just a positive influence in our blogging world!”

And the people I would like to pass this award on to are :-

1) Mynie Moe: This one comes as no surprise. I love this girl and always have. And her support has been invaluable to me in and out of the blogging world as well. And I haven't met anybody nicer than her.

2) Whiny the Moo : She was an old schoolmate and we lost touch after school. And this blog reconnected us. She's been one of my staunchest supporters. Unfailingly commenting on my blog and generally being the wonderful person that she is.

3) Xorkes : Another school friend and someone I'm glad I have on this blog for the brilliant sparky person that she is.

4) The Juiceman : He was one of my earliest commenters and though he's way too busy with his life to comment now. He gave me some much needed support and feedback right at the very beginning.

Teeheeheeeeee!! I was generally sad and upset that I hadn't got one of these, and nobody cared about lil ol' Moo's blog. ;) Thanks sooo much! Well, it was worth the wait, since the award came from you. That makes it more special! :D

Thankees again! :D You've made a cow happy! :P

Remembering Avanti

Day before yesterday, on the 8th of November 2008, Avanti Desai would have turned 21. Instead 15 days before her birthday, as she hurried home to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, Avanti met with a train accident at Jogeshwari station. Just like that. Gone from our lives forever. Leaving behind a huge void and the world a lot more gloomier. And when I got the call first thing in the morning, I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a cruel sadistic joke, but as the calls kept coming in, I realised it was true. Even at the cemetary,, it still hadn't sunk in that Avanti was no longer here. The worst moment though was watching her disappear into the crematorium, it was horrible and I couldn't believe we were leaving her there, and through the next couple of hours all I could think of was of her going up in smoke while we stood there in the bright sunshine. It seemed incomprehensible at first, to think of Avanti as dead, to talk about her in the past tense, to get...

The one with all the food

While I've already done the Happiness is tag once before, I've had food on my mind an awful lot lately. I'm comfort-eating myself all the way to obesity, but I just can't bring myself to care somehow. Anyhoo, Happiness is..

Randomity

I sat here staring at my screen for at least 15 minutes before I could decide what to blog about and as I write this I still have no idea. It's randomness at its best. There are a multitude of thoughts swirling through my head and I'm finding it hart to pinpoint or firmly hold one down. To be precise, what I'm feeling is exactly what Mynie describes in Strings . It's a knotted mess in my head. But I felt that it was time I did a blog post, there have been way too many tags lately and while I love doing tags. It's incredibly cathartic to write a post and get everything off my chest. And while this may seem a mess of a post, there's a lot of stuff that I wanted to talk about but didn't really seem to deserve an entire post to themselves, in terms of content at least. So I'm gonna put them all in here, in what is probably going to turn up to be a hell of a confused post. I'm just going to go with the flow and talk about whatever pops into my head. Cool?...
