I'm Busy! I Like It!!!

What with being swamped with work, buried under books for the last examination that I'm going to be writing for some time, switching between reading Memoirs of a Geisha and a fake Harry Potter PDF, making travel plans for a training I'm attending next month and cooking like I've never cooked in all my years of existence on this planet (you'd think my life depended on it!); my poor blog has borne the brunt of it all! All these activities seem to be taking up a good part of my waking hours! Although, I still have a dozen things to complete before I call it a day here, at work, I must mention how much I'm enjoying reading Memoirs of a Geisha. It's quite different from what I imagined it'd be like! I have a hundred odd pages more to go, completing which, I'll be sure to note down a review of the book. About the fake Harry Potter, I wonder who has the time to write such things! Apart from all the unnecessary snogging between the different pairs of wizard/witch teenagers that the book seems to be laden with, its plot is actually quite interesting! I hope when the real book comes out next month, I'm not disappointed by the imagination in writing it, paling in comparison to the fake one! It doesn't seem likely of course, considering the reputation of creative imagination and fantasy that J. K. Rowling has built for herself over the last six books. I also have a whole load of books awaiting their being devoured by me, all thanks to A. I went berserk in a book shop the weekend before last, and A ended up buying me four books, not the least of which is Khaled Hosseini's new one (yes, the same man who wrote "The Kite Runner"!)! You can imagine how my hands are itching to hold that one and imbibe its every word! However, it has to wait till I'm done with Sayuri and Hatsumomo, two among many beautiful geishas of Gion, first!

As I mentioned, this coming Saturday heralds the last of my MBA papers. In a month, I should be both an MBA (I think I've done well, if I may say so myself!) and an M. Phil (considering, of course, that my dissertation is accepted) (woohoo!)!!! Hopefully, I'm well on my way to gaining a doctorate degree within the next several years.

On a different note, someone seems to be playing shamisens (yeah, I'm completely into the geisha book!) almost every day inside my head. My headaches seem to have returned, and with a vengeance at that!!! I guess all the reading and studying and watching reality shows on television are taking their toll on my head! Oh well!

In short, I'm busy and I like it.
