I don't know ..

It's been one helluva see-saw week. Good news, slogging away with the thesis, the eventual submission and blissful slumber that followed, could it get any more perfect, i wondered. Truth is, i've had my fun, i had some people i could jump around with, but the people i really want to share this happiness and peace with are just so far away. for some its the miles, for others the thoughts.

the former, there's technology trying to bridge the gap. i was completely overwhelmed when my grandma called me from some 3000 miles just to hear the happiness in my voice. completely moving, i swear. the parents and sis have always been there. well, almost. and this time too, the miracle called internet and the boon called overseas phone calls were well used :) Doctor dear was a sweet heart. sometimes I wonder why he loves me so much? even after the things i've said and done. may be, he's just a really wonderful person or may be i'm just such a darling *blush and gag* .. hehe .. modesty definitely isn't my middle name, aye?

the latter. the ones who are so far away, its the mental distances i'm talking about. they're right here, almost few steps away, yet just seem oblivious to my happiness. may be the admission aint so pleasant to them. but it hurts to not have a friend to share with when you want to share. not to have a friend you really want to celebrate with. but this time, i shall be more forgiving given the situation. so, this too shall pass and be forgotten. Nothing new really, given the complete push over i am .. anyway this is a not-so-nice story for another day, okay?

Joe, in the meanwhile, has disappeared from the face of the earth - thanks for asking .. hehe .. anyway, here's why i call it a totally see-saw week .. almost everything has gone perfectly as had been hoped and planned. despite that, its almost like an anti-climax. the ecstasy has worn off too soon, the mundaneness of it all is taking over too soon. now, my friend Mr. Time, how about holding on a little bit and giving me sometime to enjoy my moments?
