Sunday

People's sweetness amazes me sometimes. 'Shy experience' called again asking me what I am going to do for the whole of next week and that I must come to London. She sounded so amazingly sincere - I am quite sure the call wasn't a formality. Unfortunately, it is out of the budget. But then she actually managed to convince me to check out airfares or bus fares. I did. Too high. It will just be a waste of money. Lets hold on for the time being, especially since we have no idea what the next couple of months holds for us.

While on the subject, 'Shy Summit' has gotten his confirmation post internship! What makes this fascinating news is the fact that there are absolutely no airs about the person - just pure intelligence and a sharp mind. He has still got all the small town simplicity about him. Its the fact that he was practically on bed rest during May-June and he used to keep studying even then. I've discussed derivatives with him. Talk about clarity of mind! Its the fact that he has no prior experience in the field - just the will. Its the fact that he doesn't go drinking with the guys to try and network. He still talks about the milkshakes that the bank's cafetaria serves. Tweedledum and I were thrilled with the news. Which was another amazing thought. If you get down to it, we have met these guys just a couple of months back. And at the end of the day, he is another batch mate. But somehow, it felt like there was some good news in the family.

We've purchased a new suitcase for Tweedledum and his packing has started. He leaves tomorrow.......could I possibly feel lower.......
