I need a break.
You were right, I don't spend enough time with myself. Maybe I don't like myself too much. If that is the case, how can I have meaningful relationships? Am I just pretending with everyone?
I need to figure things out. I need to figure myself out. I need a break.

Advantages of Being a Mentor
The advantage of mentoring a Punjabi girl in your team is that you get Aloo Paranthas. Okay, it was just once. And it happened after a lot of bullying.
But Junior's happy, and all is well.
(Ash Junior, not Flash Junior. In case you were wondering.)
Imagine how many different kinds of food Narayana Murthy must get, as Chief Mentor of Infosys! If I was in his position, I would be 10 times his size.

Beef and Cheesecake: A few of my favourite things!
Had dinner at Sparky's today. Tried some new stuff that's not on the menu yet, (cos the Lady's got pull like that). Beef stir-fry, New Orleans style! Absolutely bloody amazing! Loved it! Plus had a corn dog...something I have read about but never actually tried- that was quite decent too. I highly recommend the Beef, though...and the Cheesecake. Oh man, the Cheesecake. You can tell how good it was by the fact I always use initial caps while writing 'Cheesecake'. Heart attack on a plate, probably....but man, what a way to go!!
For those of you who have not been, it's on Spur Tank Road. Here is a review at Metroblogging Chennai. The pic above is courtesy the same post. The article also has a picture of the chef and owner Tom. Tom's a nice guy, except when he threatens to give you a wedgie. Or when he actually does. Don't ask. Happens to me all the time.
