Wisdom Departs

My wisdom teeth have been the cause of much pain and agony the past couple of months, so I decided to bite the bullet (or right now, the gauze) and get the surgery done. I went under the knife at 10:30am this morning and out came my 4 wisdom teeth. I chose to go under general anesthesia to minimize the sufferring. But I've pretty much been in hell ever since the drug has relinquished its mighty abilities.

The next three-four days will be a LOT of pain-killers, ice-packs, sleep, ice-creams and milkshakes. Kind of looking forward to staying in bed reading, though... :-) (ouch, I can't smile).

Alright. Time for Mango Sorbet!

Hiatus

Precisely the word for my absence from blogworld. It's funny actually, many-a-times, I had a pang to write, however, couldn't bring myself upto it. Some random thoughts about what I've been up to -

• Biggest change is a shift in jobs. Looking forward to an exciting change.
• Have lots of relatives visiting from India, which is absolutely fantastic. The house is going to be empty once they're gone :-(
• Watched Inception - and it was fantastic, to say the least. Does Cobb's totem keep spinning at the end?!
• Visited the MET and Central Park yesterday with A and A and it was a great day out! Perfect weather and perfect company!

Nothing too crazy or out-of-this-world as you can tell, but they say life's about enjoying the little things, don't they?

Just as I'm over one challenge...

...another one comes along!

Can I get a break, please?

My Favorite Thing About Spring!

Spring (besides allergies) brings with it something I enjoy watching. Luckily, I have a beautiful backyard, with a huuuuuge Dogwood right outside my bedroom window. And watching the tiny white flowers bloom is my favorite part of the Spring season. It's a complete transformation - from barebones of brown branches in the Winter to tiny buds that sprout the prettiest white flowers in the Spring. Then comes the best part - when the tiny flowers fall off the tree and form a plush white carpet on the lush green grass - ah, it's the most beautiful sight ever!

Sometimes, the most picturesque of sights is right in front of you.

That Shade of Blue...

Sunday blues, that is.

I'm not so 'blah' on Mondays - at least not as much as I am on Sundays. The thought of the weekend going away is just... well, blue!

Old Friend, New Friend

Meeting a childhood acquaintance after 16 years,
Is like...
A hazy gateway to the past.

Years gone by.
Memories lost and found.

Not a hazy gateway,
But in disguise...
A road paved of a new friendship that is forever to last.

Crazy Blizzard and Piles of Snow!

We're amidst a massive snow storm right now - and it's been snowing continuously for the last 24 hours! We've got about 12 inches of snow already, and are due for 6 more. Whoop-di-doo.

Pros and Cons of a Blizzard -

:-) - Work from home! I'd rather be in my PJs working away with a warm cup of hot chocolate and soothing music. And I get a lot more work done when there aren't so many people stopping by my cube at work.

:-( - My wrist hurts from shoveling the snow!

:-) - I saved about 3.5-4 hours of the dreaded commute home - which means I used the time to do my laundry, fold clothes, and sort my mail!

It's official. The pros outweigh the cons. Here's to more snowstorms!
