…so did my trip to India…after 4 weeks it was time to head back to Oslo. Was it perfect…not it was not…but what is? like i said in my earlier post…nothing is simple…but thats how life is…at least mine. Mom tells me thats how it has always been for my sis and me…things have never come easy to us…has always been a struggle. Strangely though i am not complaining anymore…guess i have come to accept it. Accept it and move on…and keep mind that the only constant in life is change.

Its 11:00 at night and i got a call from a friend to go out for some drinks…and for the first time since i got to norway i said NO. Dont know why…guess i am at peace and am tired of trying…maybe a bit too hard. Its a bit sad that i have given up on Oslo…but even i have my limits and i am pretty must at the end of it. Good thing is i am much relaxed now. Made some more prawns for dinner…will make some chicken tomorrow.

I have been reading Salman Rushdie’s “Midnight Childen”…initially i was really pissed of with the book but with some time now i am enjoying it…his style of writing is quite different. Not very easy but quite engaging. Must thank suri for recommending me the book.

Lots to do at work…and now that i have a laptop…lots to do at home as well. Like playing QuakeWars…and making this blog. I also have to tags all the photos…which totals to about 15k. Not too much.

Gyan time…nothing happens easily. Everything is so complicated…but guess that how life is…my sis would agree with me. Wish things were simpler…but then its not half as exciting…innit.

Flashback

Went to the market with dad to get the daily food supply…yes i know…more food talks…i should become a chef…totally.

Anyways…had to buy some fish…but first some fresh crabs…by fresh i mean…live crabs. Over the years one finds their regular suppliers…my dad is no exceptions.
