the echo of a distant tide
Posted by: astrodominie on: September 3, 2009
Sitting in the office on a Thursday afternoon. Thursday is always a slow day — Friday Review is done and MPTB work will start soon — and usually left open for field work but today, the combination of Ganesh Chaturthi immersion and the now larger issue of YSR’s death keeps most of us indoors.
