grand openings

yesterday the world saw the world premier of the thesis for the current fourth year, where the first presentations with vandana were long and poetic; and then the world premier of ramu’s kabir rock and rolling with the students in the av room. the kids were adorable, especially tapan, priya and prachi. then the trip to town in an overcrowded car rupali, ninad, ateya, aparna, kaushik, namrata and me, where we attended the opening of the new chemould with the atul dodiya bhupen khakkar homage. clinking glasses of wine and lots of muah-muah, and food at the deutsche bank. got home at 12 and caught the chills suddenly. was shivering and shuddering like mad. slept uneasily, woke up and decided not to go to college.
