After spending all of my last summer on fiction, I'd resolved to totally keep away from it this year; but some things are just meant to be: I ended up at my aunt's place yesterday with no internet, no signal on my phone, and just a cupboard full of books; and this is what I laid my hands on...
Khaled Hosseini's 'The Kite Runner'
I still don't believe it was just fiction, somehow every word I read in there seems to be as true as it can ever be;
I know I broke my resolution but it was worth it. I'll only try to keep it for the rest of the summer..lets see ;)

The salient feature of today's lunch: was not the horrible veggies that made me thank God over and over again for me not being able to get back for lunch on tuesdays the whole semester except for this last one.
It was the chapatis, that God initially planned to make papads, but changed his decision last moment!
They took two hands and all the muscles in the jaw area.

This other time not so long ago, they gave us bananas for dessert(an amazing concept by itself by the way - one banana for dessert, sometimes even two!!) and the banana skin and the chapati were the same thickness. The second similarity: we weren't really expected to eat either!

Here is the latest batch of six-legged visitors in my room...

This one with it's shining (seems more like varnished!!) belly looks kinda cute to me...

Unfortunately we found this one dead on my roomie's table :(

And this one made me late for class this morning; for I wasted nearly ten minutes, waiting for it to stop flying around!!
