A hard copy finally

I finally took the printouts of some of my blog postings - 'Humilis and Purpa', 'My Perceptions of My Own Life' and 'Reality is Larger Than Life'. I even went for an essay by Ayn Rand on objectivist ethics and one of her interviews. Later in the evening I got my dad to read 'My Perceptions of My Life'. He red it with good interest and also pointed out some corrections in grammar and also adviced a few things. He didn't comment on the ideologies I have oresented there. I was happy he didn't comment. He asked for a final copy with the corrections made along with my mail ID on it.

Today I even got some books for reading. Two of them are novels by Sidney Sheldon and the third is a non-fiction self-help. I first have to finish 'Becoming a Person of Influence'. I shall pack up with that in next couple of days.

My aunt who had gone to Mecca is coming back much against my wish. She says she has no one to talk to during the daytime. She says she is getting bored being home all day. She doesn't seem to like the life in Saudi Arabia. She is the first person I have seen who has this kind of complaint. She says she will now prepare herself so that she can live there forever starting from next year. Hope she sticks to this.

In the vening I got completely drenched in the rain. I had the option of taking some shelter in the shops nearby but I preferred walking back home. I wanted to enjoy the rain too. Further I didn't even know if it was even going to stop - my prayers are always fulfilled - all praise is for God.

Then there was no power at home. I had my dinner in candle light, discussing about novel writing about my dad. He was also telling about a huse his friend is getting constructed in the outskirts of the city - he says it will come out as a masterpiece. In a day or two he will take me to the site. I am eager to talk to the architect who too is my dad's friend.

I was searching for 'Atlas Shrugged'. But my aunt who had it said she had given it to someone who has not returned it yet and she has forgotten who that somebody was. I have enough things to read now - all taken from her. I will try to finish all the reading before my colleges start.

The start of my colleges also coincides with the start of several functions in my family and relatives. My cousin sister is getting married in July and many of my relatives come to India during this part of the year. This time a few more relatives who have not visited India since a long time are expected to come. I do not know but I am not so eager for these reunions. I hope I get along fine with all this.
