Love is when you offer to see through when you can't even see properly ?

Jhumpa Lahiri's writing

I had picked up "Unaccustomed Earth" by Jhumpa Lahiri a couple of weeks back. It is a collection of eight short stories, of lifes transitioning between America and India. She has the ability to write on delicate nuances of relationships, and portray characters so well that one can often see a sharp resemblance. I am amazed by her compelling plots, one of those writers who can write about mundane things in life, which one would normally not think disregard as background noise, only to reconnect and reminisce them after reading her short stories.

I finished reading " Hell-Heaven", "Once in a lifetime " (this is great!), "Unaccustomed Earth" and came across things that we normally ignore in our lives nevertheless all of which is a stark reality in everyone's lives.

To Lahiri's writing.

Of send offs, french , swimming, working out, thesis writing,  job search. Of last few days in schools. The more I think about it , more I get inclined towards a job. Well, whatever, go ahead with it. If it does not work out , I can get back to school. hmmm. perhaps.

je parles francais.

je ne travallier pas beaucoup.

je ne parles allemand pas.

je voyager souvent.

I am loving learning French. That will be the highlight of my last semester at Georgia Tech.

Francis William Bourdillon (1852 – 1921)

The Night Has a Thousand Eyes

The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one:
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.

25 days to go

The countdown of my stay in the US begins. The fleeting decision that has been evading me now needs to be plastered, cemented and honored. My days are numbered for my advisor has been coercing me to write theis and defend soon for I cost him dear money. 

I have been trying to figure out , figure out what I want to do, for a long long time now. I have been hiding in that cozy cocooned corner facing away from the long pending decision. I might be kicked out of this country or I might stay back for a PhD at Tech or I might take up the job with Yokogawa Corp. 

Mind over heart or heart over mind? 

Long term security or acting on whims or rather what you "think" you will enjoy doing ?

I don't know nor am I scared of my uncertain future.

All I know is that I am waiting upon my future to unravel and live it with vengeance!
