Anish Nadh’s Blog

I woke up, hungry, tired! I went up to mom’s  kitchen and found nothing great to eat! So I ordered a subway sandwich and sugarcane juice! I felt sleepy again. Then I woke up at 3:00 pm! I must try and sleep by 10 everyday or it doesn’t feel so good! Now I will go for a walk and start classes at 4:00 pm! 

Duality,  Man, woman  Light, Dark  Sharp, Blunt  But they say there’s an in between,  Like dawn and dusk!  Where is the line?  What separates night and day? 

 Just got home some time ago after seeing off Denzil at the airport. The baggage had excess weight and he had to take out some of his clothes from the check in bag.  He thought the hand bag won’t be weighed! Anyway he made it without paying extra charges. 

 I must get back to reading! I have not been consistent with that. I have a lot of books to read. The recent one that I bought was Kirtana Kumar’s Bangalore blues. This book is filled the with old Bangalore charm. I’m so looking forward to reading it. 

This blog is late! But I’m writing it before I sleep! Denzil hosted a farewell dinner and after the formal prayer, I sat by the piano and I just played. I was so in the zone, every one else disappeared and it was just me and the sound. Music flew out of my fingers, but every-time I doubted my ability to play, I made mistakes. I had never felt this way for the longest time. I’m so grateful to be able to do this, maybe it sucks to everyone else, but I got high playing music. I want to do more of this. 

My niece and I made mango popsicles with some over ripe Neelam mangoes.We cut the mangoes and grounded it into a pulp with some honey. I already had the mould ready! The mango was sweet, almost had a velvety-buttery feel to it. It was yum! 

8 big African snails were caught and killed. These snails are quite some nuisance. They eat up all the vegetation and grow big and multiply during rainy season. It is declared invasive, must have hitched hiked its way here with no natural predators it is difficult yo keep its numbers in check. Some of them also hiss and are disgusting.  It’s quite easy to kill snails, salt water. Pour some salt water and they just drop dead. It is cruel, but I like my plants more and they are not welcome.
