I recently found Mark Twain’s  The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, illustrated version, at a book store. I  read this book when I was in my 4th or 5th grade, in Malayalam, it was made into a graphic novel by one of those children’s magazines. This story was my favorite. I read it many times and really liked how resourceful and adventurous Tom was, with his friend Huckleberry Finn.  How could I forget the whitewash scene!! Tom definitely had some psychological insight, he could convince his friends to turn his burden into an opportunity!  I vaguely remember the whole story, just bits and pieces, of his girlfriend Becky, cemetery visits, some treasure etc. I couldn’t resist buying this out of curiosity. I’m so looking forward to begin reading this after a couple of days! 

After a long day at the Mall of Asia, I was very tired. But I still had to complete my workout. I drank at least a liter of water at the gym, but it didn’t hit the spot. Though the weather was cool, I felt warm.  So I went walking to the tender coconut vendor and asked him to cut one with paper thin coconut flesh.  He cut out a big one and I drank that. It hit the spot. My mouth cooled down, I felt the coolness travel down through my internal pipes! It quenched my thirst! 

The Bangalore weather yesterday and right now brings in some good memories from the past. I played some music and chilled at home yesterday, reminiscing the good times I had with a special someone. Maybe it was bad timing or maybe it was just wrong. I made peace that she has her own little family to look after and care for and I should never stand in her way of progress and decided to never get in touch with her. My heart felt very heavy.  I felt lonely, and the weather wasn’t helping! I reached out to a few hinge matches, responding to them. But it all felt incomplete.  Then I heard a doorbell, it was Andy then Solomon joined in. I had to finish my workout. I worked out at home while they hung out, and I walked indoors. We decided to go caroling, but Solomon said he wanted to take a nap. (Poor chap is losing sleep over his “Canadian GF” and late night koochikooing. Andy is also talking to someone, a potential wife! lol) So I decided to go to Orion to pick up an Apple Watch se...

A blister formed on my ring finger. It’s hard to play the guitar! My finger is warm and I’m in low key pain! Must check it out with a doc if it doesn’t heal by tomorrow.  Must be the body heat or worse, a stress wound.  It scares me to think of a day when I won’t be able to play the guitar! How a tiny blister can ruin something that’s enjoyable is beyond me.  I’m wishing some healing upon myself. Fingers crossed
