the last nights

it feels like a journey of a lifetime, but it is only a return home.



Sunset as i leave aberdeen. through the window on the left, next to me, the sea shimmers in golden light. through the window on the far right, fields flash by; bright in the final sunlight for the day. the UK’s famed countryside is golden as the day comes to an end.
all too soon, the sight passes & the familiar green surrounds the highway. the bus speeds on to london.



It is 11 in the night, we’re out for a midnight walk here in my friends university. we come out of the block of hostels to be faced by the football field. in the night, one cannot differentiate between the land and the sky in the distance.

i sit on the dewy grass and let the cool night air flow over me. the division of land and sky is a little more visible. i am almost lost in the darkness, a large shrub behind me and the nearest lamppost about fifteen yards away. i lie back on the soft grass and look up at a starry sky. pinpoints appear as i scrutinize the night sky. all at once i feel it close down on me; and yet open up. i cannot see the moon around, and in the lack of its light i can disappear into the stars.

it is peaceful, supposedly. my mind wanders in the silence and ranges to the many questions that remain…


a note…

to say it’ll take a while longer.

many things have happened.. will happen; and are happening too. but due to my leaving my diary someplace.. this space will take a while to be updated.

it also means i won’t be visiting my usual haunts for a while.. but hopefully RSS won’t let me down.

see you around. soon.

till then, as He apparently said:
“we apologise for the inconvenience”.

and now..

intermezzo.

i have no idea what that means, i think it means ‘intermission”.

i’ve to leave for india this saturday, and hence, this space is going to suffer a while longer. ah well.. i might post during the journey, but the chances are slim.

however, you’ll hopefully have more of me.
coming soon.

SEV in india.

its done

the MSc that is.

its been a year here at aberdeen, and i’m actually a post-graduate !

yay me. :)

ennui

“the one problem we still haven’t solved, my dear Watson, is how to while away these long summer evenings…”

that about sums it up right now for me. how do i get through the days ?

i have my finals in a few days, but studying stuff i’ve already studied is a little boring.
correction: is a lot boring.
i can’t actually say i’m the master of the domain.. but still - i’m not sure right now whether its my knowledge talking here; or my over-confidence. and i stick to that regardless of how egoistic it may seem.

there have been some pretty cool movies in the last few days. i’ve almost completed watching sergio leone’s creations - bloody brilliant. think the dollars trilogy, once upon a time in the west, once upon a time in america… classic action will always beat slow bullet time motion hands down. for me.
you have to hear the harmonica; and then watch Harmonica whip out his gun to appreciate it.

i have a presentation due too, but seriously; how long do presentations take ?

as one can see.. there are activities; and yet i say i’m bored.
and when i’m bored i think. and think.
yeah, i think too much. not good.

maybe i’ll expound on something more in a while. i liked seeing regular updates here.

a god of music

a.r.rahman.
live in concert.

a god of my music.

making magic. live. right there in front of you - its unbelievable that all those tunes are being remade, remodeled, reworked.
and one realises.

where it all begins. and why it will never end. and most of all, why i can’t live without it.

music.
