generally rambling

The results of the poll showed that no one liked the new template. The only "yes" vote was mine :(
So here we are, with a new template ... and no more voting this time. This is wider - which is good for the kinda sentences that I write ... which go on and on and on ... with ellipses as the delimiter of choice, hyphenated with hyphens here and there - this particular statement being a example in itself!

The color is nice too ... light on the eyes ... the pic in the background leaves some to be desired ... but then you can't have everything i.e. be too lazy to design your own template and hope that a prefabricated one will have everything that you are looking for ... and then some more.

The weekend was good. Saturday was all about Kafka and Sunday was all about the Wimbledon Men's Final. Not much sleep and definitely short on food - didn't feel like cooking and of late, my favorite home delivery guy has been turning out turd from his pans.

The weather here is amazing ... cloudy ... drizzles once in a while for about 5 minutes or less ... there is a stiff breeze blowing at most times. The lake next to the cigarette-sellers has risen quite a bit (because of the intermittent rains I presume) and has lost its putrid smell as well. The water is still as green as ever ... a little darker than the Atlantic ... and definitely not as cold. It is quite mesmerizing to watch the ripples caused by the wind as it blows across.

Have been going there twice a day to watch the lake and to support the guy that sells the cigarettes. Tough life for him. I don't give him much business either ... any more. He stands with his back to the lake. I on the other hand brave the short walk to the lake just to see it.

Water ... reflections ... sigh.

Reading "The Metamorphosis" over the weekend hasn't helped ... or rather, it has helped. I am not really into existentialism exclusively ... but from whatever little I know of it, and other associated thought structures, I know that my beliefs cannot really be boxed in under one label at any given point in time ... and if you consider my views in time, I've probably had a finger in every pie as it were ...

It helps to remember once in a while some of the fundamentals that we tend to take for granted from day to day ... that our lives are always what we make of it for example ... (sort of) independent of the circumstances we are in. The book, has reminded me of things, because of which, though the number of hours in the day have not increased, the space that I have has.

This post is extremely disconnected ... but that is how I think as well perhaps. There are too many things that I want to write about as well ... and now that the frequency of my posts has decreased, it is exceedingly difficult to put in everything into one post while also doing justice to all the topics at hand.

Wimbledon.
Too bored to write any further.
