Must be the holiday season... Is there another explanation for me not having updated in the past few days? I mean it is not as if I have run out of topics, or more aptly put, people to blog about.

There's Guiseppe who has been waiting in line for a dedicated update for over a month I think. There's Coori, the nut, who has to be introduced, complete with his obsession with optimizing the 7 rupee bag of detergent, even if that meant he had to ask for the room mate's articles of clothing, so he could wash those too. Coori's introduction would automatically lead to Lala's introduction, which would be incomplete without a mention of the phenomenon that Mari is. Lala, whose greatest regret could often be the fact that he had not seen Sargam the 9th time, or the brutal truth that he had befriended Mari; and Mari, who had helped me find my brand new khussa (Traditional Leather Shoe) I had bought to wear at a wedding by lifting his foot, with the khussa on it, out of the waist high flood water of Lahore.

If one were to mention Mari, it would be unfair to not talk about KT Bhai, and talking about KT Bhai will always include that visit with him to PCBA which had led to a reunion with Fash after eight good years of not knowing what the other was up to. Now Fash was instrumental in Madi becoming friends with me, and everybody knows this was a friendship that evolved during those joint study sessions of MBA. What everyone does not know is that often these study sessions could become unbearable ordeals when they were invaded by OT and OTness. Ergo, an introduction to OT would have to follow.

In all fairness you cannot talk about the bad study sessions and not mention the great study sessions that involved 2 hour telephonic brooding with Felicity on the other end of line, and Madi and "Tu Iddar Aa" guy taking time off their "Andaaz Apna Apna" to fume over the brooding. This would bring in the various episodes that involved Felicity, the TIA guy, or the both of them.

In short what I am saying is that there is no dearth of people to write about, implying that there is no shortage of topics - yet I have failed to update for ages...

Like I said, must be the holiday season...
