Hallucinations of a mad hatter
As the wind was riffling my hair, I thought….
What the hell? I hate wind riffling my hair.
PS: This is what I meant when I told Rain Tree that I experiment with my haircut!
PPS: Someone asked me whether I went to Tirupati when they saw me. I replied that I went to the local barber shop

You pass this tag to:
It ought to be sleeping ones. So Miladysa, Vinay and Sanjuz
Of all the people you tagged this to, who’s most likely to respond first?
Honestly, no idea. I would bet on Miladysa though.
I just remembered about my blog which was gathering dust. It has been more than a month.
Anyway, I wrote in my last post about quitting my job. The reason for that is something which I had been contemplating for more than a year. I am following the footsteps of some of the fellow bloggers in my blogroll and going to get Permanent Head Damage.
Well.. it’s a different field, in Electrical Engineering, but you got the drift.
I will be traveling on 23rd of this month. 10 days at my uncle’s home in Sacramento, CA. Then I’ll be back to academics at North Carolina State University. Wish me luck!
There was a reason I didn’t mention this earlier. I thought I’d better wait until my visa is approved.
Meanwhile, I’m enjoying my 2 month vacation in Palakkad.
