Virginia Tech Massacre

"We are sad today, and we will be sad for quite a while. We are not moving on. We are embracing our mourning. We are Virginia Tech ... "
-- Nikki Giovanni, University Distinguished Professor, poet, activist




One of the most touching and inspiring speeches I've ever heard.

May their soul rest in peace.

Lazy Saturday noon. Had much to take care of, but as usual inaction is in action.

Last week, my beloved room-mate, pseudo-commie, cowboy and self-proclaimed father of asinine fundas, Brahma, left Weston for good(an IP trace on his recent blog indicates that theres a good chance he's back in TVM)

He left behind many things. But the biggest void is at his corner office at Apt. 208. This was Giddusheik's Shantiniketan. Laptop, pillow, chiar, cigarettes, chocolate milk and wi-fi. A heady mix.





My heart sinks everytime I walk past the corner office now...




His roomie, Abrupt, long-supperessed under eccentric and tyrannical presence of Brahma, has now gone bonkers with the new freedom. Finally free, he has been breathing victory and vengeance.


Here he is, clearing out the last remnants of Giddusheik......proudly announcing that only word would now 'resound' in his chambers..





And as if 'clearing' Giddu was not enough, The Counter, as we fondly invoke the spirit of Abrupt, came up with another ingenious display of his love for his ex-roomie.


WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGE FOLLOWS. VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED.











(if you can't see, the gloves Abrupt is wearing reads 'BRAHMA')



And from my side, the best tribute I could pay to my ex-roomie, is this.






So long.
