My alphabet book is out! I saw a copy at the publishers’ today! Unfortunately they don’t retail it through shops, they sell it in schools, so maybe if any of you want a copy just let me know and I’ll order copies for you?

I haven’t read a book in the last 2 weeks…But today I finished Swallowing Grandma straight off! It’s funny in parts, poignant and British.

I’m the meantime, I’m still reading Curry, and trying to get throughout The World is Flat! So obviously in between slogging at work, and all the stresses of a new job, I haven’t been drawing too much 😦

So tell me, what are you reading?

What is it about guys? They always know how to have fun! You put them in a tough situation, they’ll crack jokes about it, and then they’ll solve it! Why can’t women be like that? I’m not like that, but I would so love to be!
The last few years I’ve been hanging around with guys all the time. I got married (to a guy!) and since I started working , all my best friends have been men – Yatin, Anirudh and over here I’m friends with the whole gang!
I steer clear of women these days. They’re complicated and catty. In college I had the two best girl friends anyone could ever have. But I can’t share that same intimacy with anyone anymore. I’m not the same person. Girlfriends demand certain things, guys just let you be. So here’s to the Best guy friends ever!

be of love (a little) more careful
than of everything
guard her perhaps only
A trifle less (merely beyond how very)
closely than nothing
remember love by frequent
anguish (imagine
her least never with most
memory)
give entirely each
forever its freedom

(dare until a flower,
understanding ceaselessly sunlight
open what thousandth why and
discover laughing)
