|Spring '06|

Last spring, was down and out,
This spring, feel the pressure of the world,

Last spring, she went out of my life,
This spring, she strides in

Last spring, hated discipline
This spring, start loving it

Last spring, was still near home
This spring, so far away, that distances i fail to understand

Last spring, was made a man,
This spring, am becoming a gentle-man

Last Spring, despaired,
This Spring, stay aware

This of two Springs, from other seasons,
of two mes, from all my other mes...

Some select things happening in life.

* Shed off my favourite moustache after about a decade.
* Try to love routine and organisation to give reign to myself.
* A very senior (i respect a lot) economic history professor tells me, i need to discipline myself, though my "ideas flow a mile a minute".
* Float the idea of a magazine in our school's research community, might steer it start a Heinz Research blog. Seems like i am getting included in the community.
* Maa is worried, sister is worried, but i am not, i feel peace ever more so in life. This despite, a queer financial crunch i live through these days.
* And that despite knowing life shall be tough from here on.
* And yes, after a long time, i meet a good lady, dont know what will happen with her though, despite our ever promising increasing friendship.
* She says, i dont know a thing, and really i dont know a thing, let it remain that way.
* Remember dadu a lot, these days, and his walks, and the walking stick and what he shared with me, before he was gone.
* Got to sit with baba, its been a long long time, since we have had a heart to heart discussion, maybe we need it, so that we both enrich ourselves..
