The White Tiger–Aravind Adiga

Finally completed the book today.

Telco Colony

Lost and lost

I have lost the priceless music archive I had taken 3 years to build. I don't have the heart to rebuild it, the effort would be too strenuous and  overwhelming. Depressed. I had taken great pains to build it to my exact taste. So many years of diligence wasted. Can't stop feeling sorry for myself.

Gravity

This is now one of my favorite movies of all time. Just blew me away.

Missing you

COSMOS by Carl Sagan (Complete Series)

Dedicated to my father on this 9th death anniversary. Unlike me, he was a theist. But he let me follow my own beliefs and happily accepted my atheism.

Tunes for now

I'm drowning the silence with some Bill Evans trio. Dad still speaks to me through music. Asha left for Dubai last night where she'll stay for a couple of days before flying to New Delhi. She almost didn't make it to Heathrow on time. The huge traffic jam caused by an accident only added to our anxiety. But that's hardly an excuse for being late. I hate to see someone being chronically behind schedule. It's probably one of the most difficult habits to beat. The exertion at the airport scrambling for everything left me panting. The return to home via 105 was a much more tranquil affair. The gridlock had opened and I returned home just in time to afford me 5 hrs of sleep before leaving for work. I miss Ari and his mom.

Dad

Discovered this photo today!

Turrentine

Most of the jazz greats known to me were introduced to me by dad. In return, I managed to do the same for him with some discoveries of my own. Stanley Turrentine was one of them. I'm listening to Turrentine as I type this post.
