It was another very Full day. In more ways than one.( I come up with the most awful puns at night, I think. Anyway.. )
On one plane of existence, there was a lot of activity, which left me physically tired and a little cribby, and then again, there was all that food... (the easiest way to put me in a good mood is to feed me a tiny bit of something yummy.)
So here's an inventory:
Tahar-tsarvan
Roth
Dal makhni
Nan
Rice
Lasagna
Fresh Lime Soda
Ice Tea
Four kinds of kababs
More nan
Pizza
Grilled mushrooms
Breaded Mozarella sticks
Biryani
Wonderful Chocolate Cake
And I wondered why it felt as though I was undulating rather than walking this evening!?!! And I expect to lose some weight before the brother's wedding??!!?? At this rate I'll never get 'shapely' enough to wear that adorable choli :( Eeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaarghhhh!!!!!! No!No! Tomorrow morning, before the break of dawn, I shall be up, I shall work it all off!! So there!

Photos
I was left a little speechless, so I thought I'd just put up photos.
Chain nikal gayi thi
Local chai-wali aunty
Amir with his mother and younger brother
(hidden behind him in this pic).. from Jaipur.
In Delhi to get a Visa to Pakistan to visit their relatives there.
Extremely interested in the camera.
Young Tahir Husain was shy, but let go just enough to poke at the camera.

Koi Kaaran Hoga
It's one of those things. I appreciate lots of 'finer feelings' and 'understand' what people must be 'going through' and am generally sensitive to the small-print-emotions. But I always have had this sneaking suspicion that there isn't much of that going around. How else do I account for the remarkable lack of it when I need some?
As a matter of fact, it seems as though there's a little too much in me, because of which, for my own mental and emotional well-being, I steer clear of most emotionally charged, moving, or otherwise thought-provokingly 'Deep' books. Sometimes, this irritates me no end, cause, well, I like reading good books!! But I found early on that I couldn't handle too much excess emotion... Wuthering Heights, much as I loved the book, would invariably depress me for a week.. Hence it had to be put in the skull and crossbones section of the mental catalogue.
Of course, some might put it down to nothing more serious than me being essentially moody; while that may be true, it removes some of the romance of being emotionally sensitive. As a matter of fact, I whiled away a whole minute taking an online test to estimate whether or not I might be a Highly Sensitive Person(HSP), and surprise, surprise!!! I scored high enough!
But coming back to where I started rambling from.. It sometimes gets very upsetting when I realise that however well I manage to analyse a situation and however well I might be able to gauge another person's reactions and feelings, and however much I might open up to a person, they just don't seem to get me.

The Latest..
And now.. after what seems like ages, the comp is back in action!! Of some sort.. ahem.
There was a bit of a scare when it had crashed, since there was no backup of the huge number of photos I'd taken over the last eight months. But peace of mind is now restored! And to celebrate, I've gone wild with my trusty cam!! Some of those photos shall be displayed here by and by.
The various kinds of mental turmoil I've gone through in the recent past makes me wonder 'what' and 'why' and 'how' and even makes me go 'eh??!!??' once in a while. However, having displayed the various emotions associated with each of the above, I retire satisfied with my histrionic ability but completely at a loss as far as everything else is concerned. Ok, now I am tired of typing, having roamed for many hours through the hugely crowded stalls at Pragati Maidan which is hosting the Delhi Book Fair.
