let’s get together before we get much older
Posted by: astrodominie on: October 1, 2009
Twenty years from now, I will look back at my days in Hyderabad and I’m pretty sure that the sharpest memories I’ll have will be of me sitting in my room with my laptop, headphones stuffed in my ears and watching TV shows till about 2 a.m. To the point where I’ve been unable to [...]

Today I was sitting in the canteen at work — though canteen is a glorified term for a large room with tables and a single coffee machine — and I was looking down the passage leading to the MP room. All I could think of was wtf, I’ve been here for two months already.
