It is damp and but not below freezing so I just walked back from campus. Everything brown, chilly and blowing. The Lake seems to have come in to shore at the Lake Street Beach. Grey. Today was Kripa's Mehendi party. I watched part of it on YouTube. They were joyful and looked cold in the early evening. Gorgeous saris, lots of hugging and saw Deepak briefly, the proud papa. I love that the wedding is at noon - so sensible!
Counting the days, trying to savor the anticipation. Counting the days was one of the things I learned to do first in life - days until going into boarding, days until going down day, over and over each year. I used to make calendars to mark off the days. There weren't any bought calendars, just those white scrap books they sold at the tuck shop. I would line off a double page and write in the dates. Now I let Google keep track although I have to do the counting still.
Preparing for the literary festival Lori and I have read several books. I am not impressed with most of them. So many authors - they are saying over 200. It will be fascinating to see what we learn out of this. That I want to write and can't. I just ordered 3 novels by Chetan Bhagat - never heard of him before. This will be at least an adventure.
