long weekend

I had to take an off from work on Friday since I was quite ill.That made it a long weekend.

Cough,cough,sneeze,sneeze,hello,hello,maaaa i still have a fever,maaaa im feelin so guiddy,maaaaaaa im feeling so nauseatic - well, that constituted 90% of my talking time this sick weekend.

Was so boring for the restless me to just lie down all day long like a sick granny n take REST like the doc asked me to.So did a lil bit of reading n made another small wall-hanging this weekend.Remember I mentioned that I had been reading 'The Road Less Travelled' in an earlier blog post?That was loooooooooong back but Iam still hooked to the same book.It's not voluminous but is so heavily loaded in terms of its thought-provoking content.Skimming oer it just for the heck of reading it might take about 3 hours but if you stop, think,try to digest n implement the ideas n views expressed, u'll probably take nearly as long as Iam taking - 3 weeks if Iam right.My second wall-hanging has some finishing touches to be added.

As they rightly say,an idle mind is the devil's workshop....The jobless me found myself in a majorly deep philosophical mood, threatening Plato's undisputed numero uno position.Spent a lot of time contemplating on a helluva lota topics that interested me endlessly,searching for answers that seem to be eluding me for too long now.

In toto, this weekend was in stark contrast to the previous one where I had so much fun loafing - first to a humour evening that was so entertainingly hilarious, then to a Kannada play called 'Bandvaalvillada Badaayi'.A weekend well spent.

Quote for the day: Life's sometimes so beautiful,sometimes so disgusting.....but it's never 'always beautiful' and never 'always disgusting'.

Today in history: Today, in 1861, at Fort Sumter was fired upon, returned fire, and the United States was officially at war with itself - the great Civil War began.After it had all ended, over 600,000 Americans had perished.
