Take me back....to where I belong...

Sophie's World is a book that most have read, I've discovered. People don't let me pull a "genius discovery moment" when I mention it. Which is rather sad, since there's so much I'd like to say about it. With the dipping interest level, however, I find it easier to move on. And talk about the weather. And such like.

Which is why the blog.

I'm still half way through it. But the book couldn't have come at a better moment in my life, when I've been cribbing a lot on my course choice, and when I'm torn between the love for Arts. And going in for Advertising, which is making me pedantic. YES. Not creative. But boring.

Literature and Philosophy seem like Siamese twins. I wish I could've done a double degree in both these disciplines... MOre so, I wish I could be born in the era of those natural philosophers, still trying to figure out the why's and how's of the world. Formulating the "forms" and "substances" of things. Where every theory could be right, or all wrong. Where logic and superstition were still strong opponents, and rationality ,a distant cousin. I'd like to have been Plato's student too. Join the unconventional school of education, under trees, write on barks, et all.

We've reached a very "know-it-all"', "nothing surprises me", "that's been done to death" phase.So they say we're moving in circles. When does THIS round complete?

Almost like. There's nothing new under the sun.

Daddy Decides to Lie.

Rather amusing to see parents jittery. And nervous. About LYING. Yours truly isn't any different. But that's another story, only for interested ears. That apart, daddy dearest was in a fix. And didn't know what to do.When asked to tweak certain facts. When I had a list of excuses/lies, ready in my kitty for him to recite, totally unpracticed before. Mom might just be more shocked than surprised. At any rate, both will trigger stress, since the journey undertaken, with the high involvement of risks, effort, etc. will make her heart melt, and also worried. Grown up too fast, too soon, she'll think. And I'll just roll my eyes.

Buffy tops the list, still. He's always happy to be surprised. And his tail NEEDS reasons to wag. During dull spells, when life has nothing to offer, his tail wags on it's own accord, to entertain itself. A little wag to the boredom. He wags at anything.

Brother, for the first ever time isn't a partner in crime. I wish he could be. But aye..what the heck :)

Blogger has returned back to being my buddy love. "Benny lava", a sudden pang and a feeling of nostalgia.

Waiting desperately for the reply mail/ call. My future LIFE depends on you, buggers.

Besties to me.
