Its been a long month,seriously :).
I have always felt that slow end of October brings in a coldness or some sort of numbness of the bygone year.Its that part of year which makes me unknowingly realise that its going to be another year end.That smell of the lurking new year night is just right in the corner.An year older,a year wiser.Thats what I am right now.
A lot of things have happened in this month some in favour of me,and some against me.Some has had the capacity to mould me into a different person,than I was a few days ago.
Octobers are long....but then there is the sweet November.....

My favourite writer
As always,we can never single out from among any of our favourites,its a difficult task to just pick one from my list of favourite authors,poets.I always feel that even if a person in his life writes just one line which can touch your heart in any way,(s)he will always be a favourite to you!
Nanditha - a lover of love and of death.She was a versatile and talented poet who has a special place in my heart.
Her words,their meanings ; they sting you so deep...and you are left in awe.
Quoting here is some of my favourite lines from her poems,
” My Mask too fine and serene,
My smile ugly, words worthless
The mask is torn to pieces
Still I wear a self conscious laugh….”

A book I hated!
I was young,when I read this book and I could not comprehend what the author wanted to convey.I was thinking,what is there in this novel for it to be a Nobel prize winner!!!.I felt absolutely stupid,not being able to get to the bottom.
I hated it.Period.
I want to re-read this once again...who know,may be I can then understand the depth in those words :)
Happy Smileys
This is a sweet memory I cherish with my little brother who is now is some 2000kms away for his job, and ,
I dearly miss him.
My mother never made us any french fries or burgers though we both loved them and absolutely jump into any such occasions when we can have them.Our first taste of french fries came when we were visiting our Aunt.She was very quick in making them.It was so easy peesy!And boy it was yum with the ketchup!! :D.We wanted more,but then my mother was showing her round eyes when my hands wanted to grab everything in the plate.She made fries_not_seen_kid_poker face :D and said to my Aunt that she can never make anything like this.To which my aunt,laughed and told my mom she got these from her nearby super market and was called McCain French Fries
We both noted the name "McCain" in our minds and was waiting for a golden opportunity to lay hands on them,once again.Then a day came,quite a long time after the first tasting.It was when our parents were out of town,we decided to buy McCain French Fries and try it at home.Our parents had given us some money incase of any emergency.I was confident enough to make them as I had already seen how my Aunt made them. And I knew ,I just have to follow instructions on the cover!
My brother went to the near by supermarket and bought a packet of McCain Smileys and Potato Wedges.We were both scared and happy.We placed the oil,lighted the fire,waited for it become hot enuf to put the smileys.But patience was quite less and we added the first one before the oil became hot.Alas,it was kind of soggy.After the first flop performance,we then waited a bit until the oil had heated up.We tried one more of the smileys and whoa,that was just awesome.
I still remember the smile on my brothers face on our success.It was a quick cooking and we finished up everything :D :D.
I was so happy that my little brother was happy.And we promised to have another round when our parents were out of station the next time.
PS: My mother did find out about our adventure from the covers and she asked us to keep for her the next time.:D LOL
