Before I forget, Rishi won bronze in his school in IMO round I and made us all happy. He was thoroughly proud of himself for some time, till the next round came in which he says he's done reasonably well. Of course his coach, P, is much happier than the rest of us because it has given him a chance to prove his merit as a teacher. The other two where he didn't focus much, NSO and IEO, haven't given great results, by the way.
The majestic trees in our area were all suddenly looking cut to size and then I realized they were shedding bagful of leaves everyday. But the whole area I walk in the morning is so beautiful now, including the tech park itself - trees are full of pink, yellow, red and purple flowers and I just don't get tired of looking at them. This must be a happy season for the bees too; the other day they swarmed outside our open cafeteria causing panic among the young and old to run with their lunch plates. I heard someone commenting that she had seen such a thing only in Tom and Jerry before!!
Why is it that in our long-service mails, rarely you'll see anyone in formals - people would typically give their holiday photos or something like that and if you see the driver-identification card in the autos, most of them would be decked up in coats and ties?
Finally in my life, I've started putting on some weight and unfortunately, it is manifesting in the wrong places too. After having spent so many years being noticed for being thin, I had hoped that I would spend the rest of my life eating anything I wanted, but my hopes are dashed. Of course I haven't had to change anything so far, not even my dresses, but may be that will come sooner than later.
I think I've also become more irritable these days, because the other day I saw this sticker on the back of a car and got thoroughly annoyed. It said, "I am cute, my Mom is also cute and my Dad is lucky!"
