Standing in snow

It was snowing in morning. Light snow flakes, ones hampering your visibility, intermittently falling on eyelashes, melting on eye-glasses. The chills weren't there, it was cold. Such mornings make my knees go weak. It's not the work, or routine, it's the moment I want to sit in my room, gaze outside, see the town get coated in white dust. I get overwhelmed by these moments. Rush to work, lines on the forehead, thoughts in the subconscious mind fade away. It was similar to stomping my heart for something I cared less.

I breathed in the cold air, stood in the snow at station close to office, smiled and braced self for the day ahead.

Should have kept pen and paper

I was running around on Friday, June 21, beginning of summer solstice. I was perspiring by the time I got hold of things from cafeteria. I had a check-list for Friday, after an hour or so quickly walked down athletics department to empty my locker rom. The deadline was June 30 as the session starts in July end or something, until then all the lockers need to be emptied.  I was in rush, to get back to my seat to complete the week. In this hurry I saw 2004 Nobel Prize winner. I had had seen him few times earlier on-campus, in a seminar or crossing streets. This time I wanted to speak with him, just for a conversation, have his autograph. I stopped, thought multiple times and the process got stuck. He was holding a folder with multiple pages, wearing suit-tie in black and white color. Inevitably I went ahead and said "excuse me". I mumbled few words to confirm if he were Dr. who got Nobel prize. He graciously nodded. I rummaged myself for pen and paper for an autograph, of cou...

The windy city

Hello All, This is yet another post on my travel. Perhaps, I should change my blog to a travelogue. First, it's been a long long break I took from writing, not that I've no more interest to write, or have been running away to tailor my thoughts. Like many out there, and as always, things don't fall onto place at the time you can gather them up. By the time you start collecting, you either lose your senses, or motivation starts backing off. Might sound like an excuse, but it is the truth, indeed. Like that, I sway away all the times, into one or the idea and thus, face an insurmountable challenge to jab down the keys. Hopefully I would not drown this time. Yummiest Pizza Memorial day, day which revers the fallen in United States. A long weekend. Weather at its peak bloom, and pleasantness. I have had an another shot to travel, with a friend of mine and destination chosen for this vacation was Chicago. Chicago is infamous for its cold, especially the cold win...

Inferno - worth a read?

Image
After a sabbatical, I returned to my maneuver of losing myself into novel(s). This time, I picked the much talked and rated as one of the best sellers of year 2013, Inferno by Dan Brown. The novel is 5 th by author. I missed The Lost Symbol , shall get it soon though. Without losing your attention, I will take you through my experience of it. If you have read other works of Brown, then you would be familiar of his art of gluing you with small intricacies of art and designs. He never refrains from going into the minutest detail of culture,  history, and of course architecture. If you had enjoyed his previous books, this is definitely a go-go for you then. Wait, read the next paragraphs. Book again revolves and begins with Robert Langdon. This time he wakes up in Florence, Italy, with a wound on the back of his head. Suffering from amnesia, story kick starts. One sign leading to other and the chain-reaction continues. I was thrilled by the way it i...
