it is chooti Diwali
think i could get some mombatti and light my small balcony of my single hostel room
Just changed the setting of my room yesterday, the study table lay side by side to the wall. now lying vertically across the room reaching out to the bed, adjusted to maximise light on the table and to make books lying all over the room and the bed within an arm's reach ... books and not scripts-thankfully
completed my script for 'SG' got late by 20 days, will get paid, (had hardly expected to get paid) have run out of money completely, after lending 3k to friend who settled in Delhi this month, she had to buy food, more imp. than my bills. some money to another one who had to choose between paying for transport (taxi) to interview and a week's food expense...my laptop battery is defunct after i didn't switch it off for 4 days working on the 'SG' script, (fees phone bill...my expenses more than I all have put together :))) will cost me 4k they say. this book saves me, there is another script for which payment should come too....'Rural Women in India' brother is driving down 250 miles to home for Diwali, asked me if i'll come, had 20 rs. in my purse could hv not reached his place in Gurgaon, didn't ask him for money...bloody Strong in my veins. the same evening friend came 4k without asking, bloody lucky too:)

this morning got up, got out early, took a rickshaw to deposit the phone bill at a vodafone shop, there a three vodafone shops within'g a stone; throw in Kamalnagar malkaganj junction, Vodafone red boards everyhwere else too...bloody marketn

a drop of a very strong anti bacterial fell on my little finger, burned it and saw how quickly my skin corroded and the corrosion spread and burninng the skin sreading to the other finger, ran from my bath and reached room, what to do, too late by the time I'll reach doc. finger will burn by then, applied, closest at hand, aloe vera gel i keep with me. itching sunsided for a while, skin stopped melting, the corrosion froze in the areaand stoppd spreading. I went on with the bath (went trough the corridor wrapped in clothes to reach the bathrooms, convenience of all girls hostel;) and couldn't keep from wetting ym hands, wiped fingers and the gel alongwith it, itching subsides even more, applied the gel again, and wipe, better still, skin better too
My thoery: skin soaked the drop of anti-bacterial, aloevera dissolved it, but the ab still kept burning the skin, wiping it removed it, applicationand wiping again removed it, 15 minutes later, its fine,I can use my pen write, looks its natural color
