Aaj Hai Kal Nahi

Day before:
Came back from college at around 4:30, left the bag, jacket and stole I was carrying on the sofa in the lounge, could see Vidya studying in the mess from the glass door. Went to the loo. Was going to shit after two days of contipation and fever so excitement was building up. Did the thing. Came out and the jacket is gone. I didn't have to look again to undertand the Jaket with my purse and mobile in it is taken by someone on his/her way out. it was left invitingly on the right handle of the sofa for the convenience of anyone going out/entering/passing by through the lounge. Office guys helped, hoshiar sing ji, the genius he is, talked to every girl mentioning how bad it is that a jacket got stolen ... i guess the person who took it got guilty or may be scared cuz we were checking the rooms, a lot of ppl gathered and made a fuss (i was calm, meditator's calm, losing the only jacket I hv at the start of winters is a big deal) and left in the one of the bathrooms, an annou cement was made for me by the gatekeepr and I treated 'em with sweets

# after losing all I had I went to meet AF and she told me that she had a friend I could help by talking to her about freelance editing but when I was positioned better, (I had fever, had just lost my goods, was already broke, asignents were due and had come to pay her a visit cuz didn't speak to her when she arrived at the hostel seconds after I lost my jacket as I was speaking to office ppl and gate keeper) surprisingly I took both of them to Nirula's and very calmly told her bout the functionality of editing, the ways methods and functionalities, told 'em stories, discussed being women, ...was calm, vipssana works in everyday life


Kids:

Last morning, as I massaged my head, brilliant sunshine on our high hostel roof ... I could watch the play in the kids school next door to our hostel. this is a pre-nursery kids school, guess it is more like day-care for mothers;) Kids learn to dance and there is a stage show at the end of the term, how nice:)) It is difficult to train such small kids to dance and to mk 'em remember the moves etc. some smart teacher chose the 'crazy frog' dance to a funky tune, some teacher had chosen a bengali song by Tagore on 'dhan' and really owrked hard on the kids ... lv'd it all
