Badam milk is the drink of the gods. Give me badam milk and make me happy. Such a simple equation. I don’t really have anything specific to say, I just feel like writing, so I am.

The Plan

Saturday, April 24, 2004
Here I am, finally in a decent internet cafe and entirely uninspired to write! I spent a couple days this week being sick, what a surprise, sick in India, how unheard of! I am in good health once again though, and the sickness afforded me a day of exceptionally bendy practice yesterday [...]
