For some reason, today, my brain has been on a nostalgia trip - reminiscing about bits and pieces of childhood memories - mostly summer vacations spent out of town at various uncles/aunts' places.

Bitter Table, party of One
Just looking at the last few posts on my LJ page, I realize just how depressing my blog has become. Well, I suppose it's always been a wee bit depressing, but this has turned into a whole new level of oh-my-god-this-guy-makes-me-wanna-slit-my-artery kind of emo rant ( Read more... ) -
Growing Up.
So I met Naren today, after more than a year.It was a bit awkward at first, with others around, but then again, neither of us were that excited about crowds anyway.
For those that came in late, Naren is my nephew, living with his parents in the U S of A, currently 11 years old, and my favorite nephew, and visited us today with his mom, while ( Read more... )
