The Peculiar Joka Day

I have a fascination with dates.

I remember them, for sentimental reasons, or plain memories.

Like November 14th 2001.

It was Children's Day and Diwali together. What more could a little girl want in India want? Now really, Holi can't be on the same day. But it was the first time I heard of the children in Sivakasi and couldn't imagine burning those crackers on Children's Day. So I boycotted Diwali that year. And I stayed back in my house when my family went out. But my sister came back after a while. She got burnt a little.

See? I remember. I can't seem to forget even if I want to. As a good friend of mine puts it, I suck at the memory part.

Anyway. Back to the original point of discussion.

I just wanted to note down today's date to be remembered years later.

28th February 2011. The day I stopped being a student, stopped studying. I can never stop learning though. And all this unless I decide to do a PhD or something. (Psst. There is a prediction that I would)

Other notable things: As I type this , I have two exams to go and the Academy Awards ceremony is happening on the other side of the world while some people are still talking about the edge-of-the-seat IND-ENG World cup match that happened half a day ago ending in a draw and cursing how it was supposed to happen in Eden, Kol and got shifted to Bang.
