when i walk down the busy streets in dhaka
with a lot of headache and a packed schedule
a question arises in my mind
why do i exist, anyway?
and the subject of the mail was “let me sleep”.
Bad day, the lady at the coffee shop did’nt ask me to “have a nice day” today. She’s the culprit.
I bid for a computer at ubid.com and won, i dont know if the system is worth 401 dollars, but i think its a good deal. it doesnt have an OS, but thats how i wanted it, since i have the copy of Windows XP i won at the career fair.
Father sent an article on Atomic Memories, from The Hindu. He actually typed all of it in. Feels good to know that everything is fine in the world of memory research. He has his bizzare ways, he mails everyone except me, about me. so i get phone calls and emails asking me how i am, from relatives and friends, but never from father.
this, then, is my latest friend….
