Well, getting settled back at home can be quite an ordeal. I dunno everytime I come home its as if I'd been away for too long and I can't wait to stay at home all day and laze around. But after two days, boredom becomes my constant companion. Oh, by the way my 2 days aren't yet over,coz I had spent the best part of the last 2 days in bed. I seem to have gotten sunstroke or something,you know, the whole swollen face,red eyes, tiredness sort of thing. Its getting better now,though, just a remnant of the red eyes remain.:-)

I saw this movie today, the adaptation of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park. I have only skimmed through that one so far, because of 2 reasons:(1) I'm apprehensive of classics a bit and (2)I can't seem to get past Pride and Prejudice. I hated it at the first read,but then I fell in love with it.weird,isn't it?? Ya,well,anyway, I think this is better. I have this belief that you should see the move adaptation first and then read the book. Else you are bound to be disappointed if the movie doesn't do justice to the book (as I was when I watched the movie Gone With The Wind).So now I can read the novel without any qualms hhmmm:-). Well,anyway seeing the movie strengthens my perception that Jane Austen tended to make all her heroines feminists,which would've been quite interesting in the 19th century England, when and where this was quite uncommon.


I dunno,lately I've been having this urge to travel,as in ,really travel, see new places and all that. But when I think of even venturing out in this goddamn heat,I'm all for dropping even such a thought.The heat is unbearable. All the more disgusting is the constant sticky,sweaty feeling.uughh!!!

I'm waiting for the delivery of my 3 years' worth of garbage couriered from Pune. They had said that they'll drop sms as and when my shipment reaches everyplace, which they so obviously didn't do, and when I tracked it online,the status says 'undelivered because the residence was closed'.What rubbish!! I was here the whole day yesterday and noone so much as rang the doorbell(which would've been quite difficult considering that the gate was locked). But in that case they should've atleast called me right? My contact number was listed prominently on their copy of the bill hhmmm. That was quite irresponsible of them .So anyway I called them and complained and I was told that my stuff would be delivered this afternoon.I hope it really is, this time!!!

So... finally, I'm homeee.....

My final exams are over and I'm home for a long long time...My Msc classes will be starting on September 23rd (Msc Astrophysics,Queen Mary,University of London..Thank u very much..). So till then I get to stay at home. I reached today morning incidentally.

So am having a long long vacation. I've got a lot of plans for them. You know, like gardening n reading n learning german,learning the piano etc etc etc.... I dunno if any of them is gonna work out. I've been here a day and I'm already half-crazed with heat. Its so damn hot. The maid had switched off the fan for a moment to sweep the floor and I was sweating all over the place.

The journey home was as usual boring. I hate train journeys as a rule. (I get the rush when I'm about to reach some place,Pune or home). And to top it off, mom was sick with the stomach flu. She had come to help me pack and all, coz I had 3 years worth of litter around.

So all said and done, am hme for the moment..
