Anon :-)...it's always so nice "seeing" you! Whats this about you feeling "weird and alone"?...bollocks (in a word!), you know very well how much that ubiquitious Anon lexicon is loved by those of us who read every single word--in spite of the length and the he..he..in between's!! As for Uma..please do NOT encourage the rascal--she lives to embarass her friends and the last thing I want is for her to pour all her ammunition against me in the virtual world!...:-) but, yeah I know what you mean by the "playing messenger" role...looks like it wasn't just the little boys that got picked. I went to boarding school away from Nepal my entire life and since we were kids we were allowed to go to the brother's school and play in their field so the senior guys always came bearing candy and letters for us to pass on their girlfriends in our school!! As for the distraction..I am so sick and tired of exams..I desperately want them to be over but I still have three papers to go and they are long one's too..each paper is 3.5 hours long!!..it's torture! Now for Sandhurst and his Tapasya...I heard David Blaine was living under some sort of a water bubble for a week as his latest trick and I'm convinced Blaine is none other than our very own Lahure ....so..that explains yet another one of his dissappearing acts!!!..either that or he's off again doing what else...teaching footsie!!:-) (Yes, Commandant, I know I will get a verbal fireball out of you for that one :-)) O.k...better get back to studying...if not...I'm doomed with these exams..me ..budi amai and my teak walking stick will catch you later hai ta :-)
