Me am usually happy to c other ppl happy, well happy as long as I don’t c a ton of happy ppl blocking my way down some shopping mall (which did happen yesterday, but all is forgiven, V-Day after all gets a lot of human and chimp hormone levels right up zere in ze sky), but zere r times when me wishes zat ppl had some limits to zeir happiness, u know a cut off valve which allowed u to limit zeir happiness just enuf so zat zey get ze strange tingy happy feeling but not enuf for zem to forget all abt ze universe….. Yesterday two of my linked (I’d have said oft linked but I don’t link to one of zeir blogs all zat often) friends had a nice little class picnic, and well for weeks on end zeir blogs went on abt how zey were gonna have a class picnic…. Unfortunately I’ve never really attended ne of ze weekend class picnics while at skool, ‘coz a certain untoward incident involving poor ol’ me and a female chimp a long time back had kindda convinced my parents never to send me to a skool sponsored piknik (that and ze fact zat me not really good at all ze piknik sports), so me was all interested and geared up to read descriptions of zese guys picnics on there rather well posted blogs…... Now me went to both zeir blogs like a good li’l panda (me suggests u not visit most of ze other blogs zey have linked to ‘coz some of zem get down to pure hinglish while others stick to purely school and family) only to find no posts for today, ABSOLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTEEEEEEEELYYYYYYYYYYY NONE, and zis after me was all excited waiting to read an immediate act of what weekend class pikniks r like, since waiting invariably gives u time to change ur version…......
But well zis has in general been a bad day for reading….. Day before yesterday someone gave me an opportunity to go thru zis rather cool book and while I didn’t make ze effort of really noting down the author or nething, I did read thru some part of it (25 pages) and well I was hooked, but zen ze guy took it back, said he’d borrowed it from someone and cudnt give it to me, and well I was left with no part of ze book….. So me spent a lot of time yesterday visiting myriad of book shops all over Delhi only to discover zat most ppl hadn’t even heard of zis book, and ze few who had didn’t have it in stock…. Now it ain’t mighty expensive (just $14) and it ain’t as if I can’t order it from Amazon, just zat ze shipping charges me wud have to pay exceed ze books price…... Not fair me says, now zat zey have started shutting down a lot of ze descent book shops ‘round delhi…......
Me going to a reception later today, and well while I am somewhat certain of getting good food, recent events have proven that certainty is relative and well uncertainty is just 1-certainty, so I am hoping, no make that praying for gooooooooooooooooooood fooooooooooooooood…..... Ze reason I feel ze food shud be good is ‘coz zis thingee is being hosted at IIC (India International Center) which courtesy ze international tag serves pretty good, easily edible food, however, and zis is where ze uncertainty comes in, ze food depends on ze money paid, so me can only hope zat ze hosts for zis particular thingee serve good fooooooood…...........
