An ok day, except that I went through it as if I had just got out of bed on the wrong side. I remember reading the same expression in a Noddy book. Somehow that day would go all wrong for him, for starters the bell on his hat stopped ringing. Good old days, - childhood :) I remember I used to go to school in a chartered bus called Raja Service. We somehow had never thought of asking who is Raja. Anyway, today was not a bad day just that my mood was bad.
What scares me is this, and I am sure I caught this from Monika, I have started talking to myself. (Yes, yes just one more sign of madness) I will be walking along thinking about my stupidity in some random incident and exclaim out aloud. I am sure I get quite a few stares but I choose to hurry on as fast as I can, looking down and avoiding all eyes.
A rainbow over the Catalina mountains on the north side of Tucson reminded me of a song as I was walking back. I don't know why , rainbows can never fail to awe you. So it happened that after a long time, I was humming Sunshine on my shoulders. Its a beautiful song by John Denver. When I was small/young (both mean the same thing now - ages ago :) ) there was a beautiful ad which came on doordarshan and this song was played in the background. The best lines would have to be:
" If I had a wish I could wish for you, I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while."
What is most beautiful about those lines is wanting to make a wish for someone else but I guess I needn't have said that.

and grad student or not, we're all entitled to doing what we want, when we want. We just forget that as we grow older and start to live for the world around us:) ok done being philosophical
Your expression of your feelings is clear... the more you know about them.. the more crazier you think you are.. but infact.. you are crossing levels to see the core of celebration of being alive..
