happiness is 2 pounds of extra weight

and i thought i finally gained 2 pounds after weeks of protein rich diet....it seems that it was just plain cotton - or rather the weight of my new jeans :-) so the scale stays at 140 for now.
but the good news is that my assumption that i am underweight was unfounded. seems i am right in the middle of the BMI index. in a way it is both perfect and oh so average.

but the news of the week is watchmen, and though i cant watch the 1st day 1st show (US shows start at noon, when i, alas, would be working) - i still booked the ticket for the late night show. i am sure the movie would be worth 2 and half hours.

things are a little better in swimming too...and i can manage to cross 2kms in the pool, though not in one go....and its kind of boring to do lap after lap....oh and i have to learn butterfly the week after next.

star trek voyager 4th season is coming to an end - and the more i watch this- the more i realize most of the science fiction in the series is about giving a new perspective on the issues we currently face - love, war, peace, religion etc etc. and to a certain degree, people like me living in a different country away from home, can relate to the ship crew's longing for home. though i am personally not so eager to return home - not yet.

dont know when i would be able to manage the india trip - something in me is not so enthusiastic about the trip - given that i can manage only 2 weeks at most. lets see.
