Hey Prathna - this is just for you, just so I can get back on your cool list!
hmmm....and now I have nothing left to say...
Go to Caffe Strada! They make the best drinks and have yummy pastries too! Aaaaaand...you can leave me a tip! What a deal, eh?
Oh yeah...may I had that Kaitlin, Dani and Prathna looked HOTT on Halloween - even more than usual!! Thats like...too much hottness for me to handle. Coolest costumes ever, guys!
Okiemadokie...I hope I'm off your "not cool" list Prathna...cuz I have to go get ready for Bengali now!
Muerto se quedo en la calle
con un punal en el pecho.
No lo conocia nadie.
Como temblaba el farol!
Madre.
Como temblaba el farolito
de la calle!
Era madrugada. Nadie
pudo asomarse a sus ojos
abiertos al duro aire.
Que muerto se quedo en la calle
que con punal en el pecho
y que no lo conocia nadie.
Surprise
Dead he was left in the street,
with a dagger in his chest.
Nobody knew who he was.
How the lamppost was shaking!
Mother.
How the little lamppost shook
in the street!
In the dead of the night. Nobody
was able to glance wide-eyed
out into the harsh night air.
And he was left dead in the street,
and with a dagger in his chest,
and nobody knew who he was.
I guess I'm not really doing the poem a day thing anymore...oh well. Here's one though!
Encuentro
Ni tu ni you estamos
en disposicion
de encontrarnos.
Tu...por lo que ya sabes.
Yo la he querido tanto!
Sique esa veredita.
En las manos
tengo los agujeros
de los clavos.
No ves como me estoy
desangrando?
No mires nunca atras,
vete despacio
y reza como yo
a San Cayetano,
que ni tu ni yo estamos
en disposicion
de encontrarnos.
Encounter
Neither you nor I are
ready
to find one another.
You...for reasons you know.
I loved her so much!
Follow that narrow path.
In my hands
I've got holes
from the nails.
Can't you see how
I'm bleeding to death?
Never glance back,
continue on slowly
and pray the way I do,
to San Cayetano,
for neither you nor I are
ready
to find one another.

I'm back in Berkeley...and back online!!!! With no bandwidth limit!!!! Woo hoo!
I had such a blast in India! I got to spend a lot of time with my gramma, and do a lot of shopping as well. It was so great. I mostly stayed with my family in New Delhi, but we took a short trip to Jaipur, which was absolutely amazing. Maybe I'll post some pictures of my trip sometime...if you promise to be good little boys and girls and whatevers!
Oh yeah...Eric...I wasn't aware that we had a fort...but thanks so much for holding it down! That is so cool!!! I've always wanted a fort! My dreams are slowly coming true. Next on the list: that donkey ranch down in Mexico that you've got me oh so excited about!
OMG! Everyone has to come see my new house! Its sooooooo prettyful! And I live with Danica and Kaitlin!!! And we each have our own rooms! How cool is that??? I know...it way cool. I know! *sigh* And my room is just scrumptious! Like my Eric! (I know...I'm so lucky I have an Eric! And I don't share! So back off!!!!)
Okay...its getting late...and I have to be up early tomorrow cuz Dani and I are going to my cousin's house for the weekend! Do you know what that means? No, seriously...do you? Okay fine I'll just tell you! It means we get to play with THE BABY!!!!!! Yaaaay! Yaay for The Baby!!!
Okie yaw...'tis definitely, DEFinitely bedtime! (Don't worry Eric...I promise I'll do the survey thingamabob sometime. *squeeze*)
By the by...(*giggle* That is so much fun to say! I mean type. Or both. Whatever. Shut up.)...crap! I forgot what I was gonna sayamafy! Oh wait...no I didn't...Oh yeah...If you haven't ever seen A Midsummer Night's Dream (the one with Christian *sigh* Bale), I command you to see it! It is sooooo good! One of my favorites! You should also read the play...if you haven't done that either. And if you can't do both...then just read the play. Cuz its obviously better. Obviously. Duh.
Goodnight.

Hi from Singapore!!! I have a seven hour layover here on my way to India. Oh yeah I'll be in India for three weeks! =D Everyone have a good summer!!! Buenas dias!
.::.
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how Fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How Fragile we are
How Fragile we are
