living alone

living alone is a tricky business. not only do you try to take care of pending matters like setting up exam papers, finishing a research paper and marking assignments, there is also the small matter of "how clean should i keep the house" coz you don't want your spouse to see a mess when they come back and you really don't want it to be perfect, as it sets an unrealistic standard that can never be matched and thereby leads to a pitfall.

There is one good thing about living alone and that is that you can watch kung fu hustle, when you want, as many times as you want :D.

"How much did you miss me" is a question that should never be taken lightly - for if you do not show enough quantitative and qualitative evidence of "missing", then you better say goodbye to a couple of hundred dollars in the course of fixing it. However, if you say you over-state your "missing-quotient", it means that you will never get the space for yourself where you can watch harold and kumar again, and again, and again. But that said, Gunjan, I can not miss you more than I do, even if I try*. Please, DO read the disclaimer too before you accuse me of being mushy.

Food issues are not an issue as if you have a couple of friends around, you can always pull out a puss-face (don't misinterpret - i mean from puss from "shrek") and get dinner invitations (i hope khushboo doesn't read this else i'll never get invited again)

anyways, gunjan comes back tonight so i better tidy up the house a little bit and get set for a KFH and Harold & Kumar marathon for the last time...

Cheerio,
Gaurav

* You see, the concerned statement doesn't actually give away any information about how much I miss her, even though it gives the appearance of doing that, since it only provides the knowledge that the mising-upper-limit has been reached, but doesn't say whether that upper-limit is actually high, or low.
