Rime of the Ancient Mariner

The Consultant

It’s been a long hiatus since I have blogged. And I am not sure if I would be successful in breaking the long tendered ‘silence’ – but hereby posting an update.

I got a new job and I have been traveling ever since (30k miles in six weeks! Way to go!)

The inner turbulence

Some day I will find some quality time to write about happiness in deliberately letting things go wrong.

Life is a constantly positive changing path of consequences – which we sometimes ‘perceive’ as if we do have an authoritative control. But I have lost that perception: I am all prepared for the brownian motion!

Married!!

I love you Danielle. You are my sweetheart!

To tell you frankly – it does not feel different for some time: till one day when you look at those extremely nervous moments that one lives through – be it in the courthouse with a few friends, or with a possibly thousand relatives and cousins and friends in a asian-greek fat wedding which stretches through one or two days in one’s life.

For Mrinabh, it was the courthouse in Seattle 3rd Ave.

I am still in shock of being not in a shocked state for a few moments reeling off the a-la marriage thing. Undoubtedly, this gotta be the happiest moment in my life! I am eagerly waiting for Sarah to deliver the photographs taken on the day. It was a very special day – with Carmen, Bill & Krishna around.

I will post more details once I get the snaps.

Words for the unknown

Now I lay me down to sleep,

Pray to Lord my soul to keep.

If I die before I wake,

Pray to Lord my soul to take.

Sleepless

It’s almost twenty minutes past midnight – the morning of February 17th, 2009. The refrigerator is groaning as loud as it can get – with the wee hours serenity, and possibly my sleeplessness. I tried to sleep, but when I tried, it was too early.. But I am happy that she got to sleep – she’s got a flight to catch in a few hours from now.

It’s been a while since I have put up through a night. I remember college years: colloqually dubbed as night-out (I wonder if anywhere else on this planet, people refer to the same by this term) was very common – since education in engineering involves extreme mental and spiritual (?) metamorphism in one’s life. Sometimes I wonder if anyone outside the engineering circle – who has never stayed in a hostel – can ever understand what it means to be there!

Light-headed thoughts blabbering out of a sleepless mind. I can hear the fluttering flames in the fireplace and Flora speculating her fur (she never sleeps). This uninvited sense of loneliness creeping in through the layers of light-headed thoughts can only make me feel more awake!

She will be gone in a few hours: for a whole week. It would be childish to cry over this departure (tis only a week!), but I feel terribly void of happiness thinking about the following nights which I’ll have to sleep alone. Human company is an addiction (tis only a week!). And once you have tasted the nectar of social-bondage, it becomes harder to refrain from the elements (tis only a week!). Though I have plans to spend with friends from work, at the end of the day, I’ll be returning home to myself – alone… These thoughts will keep me awake. Weird?

The Ring ….. finally!

The Ring

Happy to finally get the proof-of-commitment for my darling Danielle!
