you’ve already won me over in spite of me

Posted by: astrodominie on: November 10, 2009

I feel ashamed of not updating more, especially after reading the nice things SG had to say about me on her super blog. However I’ll think of something more entertaining to post about in a day or two.
I love it when I find the song that most suits what’s in my head but it’s also a [...]

the day will dawn of sanity

This is a day too late but still.

Happy birthday, The Thick Plottens! It’s been five long years and I’m quite disappointed that I haven’t blogged more, given the time period, but I never really thought it would go so far. I can see the writing change as I did. WordPress has been good for me, [...]

’cause we could be happy, can’t you see?

It’s Sunday morning and I’m sitting in front of my office desktop. This is the first Sunday I’ve worked in office, a compensatory day since I’m taking off next Saturday.

I got a job!
Features reporter with The Hindu in Hyderabad. I start on June 1, which effectively means that I leave Chennai before the end of May.
It hasn’t sunk in, I don’t quite believe it, but it’s true. I’m employed!
I wish I had more to say on it but I don’t. Maybe in a week [...]

in and out my brain, running through my veins

Posted by: astrodominie on: March 2, 2009

For the past few days, I’ve felt exactly the way that I did during my Board exams.
No, not because it’s that time of year for millions of students all over the country. Something a little more psychological than that.
There’s this sort of tense excitement in the air, like the journey that I’ve been making for [...]
