4 years

Hey yesterday jais and I completed 4 years as a couple. we didnt do much yesterday since we couldnt go out. we celebrated it on saturday. it was damn nice. I had asked jais to get me flowers and he actually got me these huge flowers tht he was lugging around with him... he is normally not the romantic kind and i think he feels odd holding flowers. so anyway he got me flowers and a cake ( a small one) then took my out to a new japanese restaurant whcih was very good. we went for music and lyrics and he let me watch the movie in peace without making silly comments, and he liked the movie too tht was good, then we headed to tavern to have a couple of drinks and headed home, best anniversary ever. i love him :D

Unclaimed

To make love with a stranger is the best
There is no riddle and there is not test

To lie and love, not aching to make sense
Of this night in the mesh of reference

To touch, unclaimed by fear of imminent day,
And understand, as only strangers may

To feel the beat of foreign heart to heart
Prefering neither to prolong nor part

To rest within the unknown arms and know
That this is all there is; that this is so.

- Vikram Seth

What do u guys think of this poem? It's one of my favourite poems. I always wonder if being unclaimed can sometimes actually be better than belonging forever

konnichiwa!

hello all, been a while since i posted, thought i'd type out a couple of lines.
our class visited the spastic society today, i was very impressed. it's an ngo. it has about 250-260 students enrolled, most are from a low socio economic background, and 1st generation learners. the place is extremely child friendly. each child has a table and chair specially made for him or her to suit his or her need. most of the children there have cerebral palsy and some have downs and other chromosomal abnormalities. Its a place that supports inclusive education, so they try to integrate as many children as they can into normal schools and those that can't be sent to normal schools interact with regular kids who come to the spastic society once or twice a week. it's really cool. the teachers are extremely nice and so are the kids.

we've also started doing community work as part of the course, so im working with kids of construction workers. working with them is a lot of fun. we are given the opportunity to teach them whatever we wish to and in the manner that we find suitable, so it's damn cool. today i taught them to make a paper boat and they were so fascinated, they must have made atleast 15 boats in various sizes.

now for the silly irrelevant things, how many of u would cheat on ur significant other if u knew for sure they wouldnt ever find out?
what's ur favourite ice cream?
are you hungry? would u like a cheese filled pizza? would u like to lose weight and never find it ever again?
