The hazard of being online all the time is that if the mail has not been checked for an hour, a feeling of missing something in life seeps in.

Last evening, I went for a dinner with my friends (two of them). One of them (say ‘X’ for nameshake)has actually coerced us two to come over, though the role of host was overtaken by the other friend (say ‘Y’), not him. We were also asked to be at the venue slightly early so that [...]

The Symphony of cuckoos
in the shades of green;
