so as i see, it the zonkboard has more interesting stuff than my blog itself.

the only steve i know has to steve ross from columbia. (i am such a namesdropper..haha) he was like the funniest guy. used to teach probability with the help of "pizza and anchovies" i think food was integral to the profs at acj. i mean even joan pinkham (there i go again) used to teach us grammar with the help of chocolate cake and then suddenly remember that she is in a third world country and ask, "do u know what a chocolate cake is?" and then we used to talk endlessly about starvation deaths when sainath used to come to lecture. so either it was exciting food or no food at all. as for the canteen, the best part about it was the terrace adjoining it. the view reminded me of opera house in bombay. spent too much time just staring from there.

as for developments in the work front here, i generally have sundays off until raveena tandon decides to go planting trees then. stupid event, where everybody was trying to up and close with raveena. nothing against her. she looks great and is pretty ok to journos.

chasing criminals is getting tougher than i thought, although the polce are now getting easier to deal with. but sometimes you don't know whom to beware of, the criminal or the preventer fo crime.

met paro, awesome house and all. and of course met sreeji. god save mumbai now. haha. generally, he seems to have a grown a foot or too longer, the killer accent is still there and so are the sad jokes.

had my first experience at ruthless editing. an entire piece of my article...just chopped off mercilessly, all because they had to place an ad there. i am kinda feeling bad about it, coz it was really important. the part they chopped off was more important than the stuff they retained. i can hear the publisher stomping in and out of his room yelling "i want human interest stories, do u understand? human interest stories. give me more of that."
