canoodling with bottom-grinding damsels down town surely meets the requirements of 'hedonistic indulgence'! An act of treason? not yet :-) but I am glad to know about your Byronic proclivities!...a straight shooter with the halo, wings and Ivy ringlet make for a rather "blah" personality!!..."Fair Elain" would rather that you gave up the mantel that you have so jealously guarded :-) What a most welcome break from the rigours of exam prep--it's a pleasure "seeing" you again sire! So, a rather eventful week it seems to have been - what with bouts of footsie (in spite of your most voiceferous objections--I know they were in abundance :-)), tango's, foxtrot's and then the above---my, my, you must be tired :-) For my part, yes, exam prep is full swing- can hardly wait for it to be over..summer has work and one class in store in for me, but, I hope to catch up on reading and some of the visiting exhibits around town to remind me of the continual existence and evolution of the world- outisde of the four walls of the library! Ah yes, the London trip--I sent in my application for admission just yesterday so a few more formalities remain to be taken care of but, if things go according to plan, looks like I will be in the drippy, dreary Angregi Mausam in December :-) I have got to shoot off for now but do pop in when time permits...it's the antidote I desperately need to get me through this drudgery of exams! :-) ******** Anon, I can see you grin from ear to ear...feri malai "fish business" bhancha!..Kaha bepatta ho? Busy playing the silent observer I see..I hope all is well with you. Catch you after my exams hai.
