I came across this stanza when I was doing research work for GP:

A raft of tied-together snakes
in the world-ocean
Let go, and you'll drown.
Grasp, and they'll bite your arm.

~The Bijak of Kabir
Linda Hess and Shukder Singh
New Delhi, Motilal Bonarsidass, 1986

Simple, yet compact.

Went to BMTC (Basic Military Training Centre)! It was a nice sight, seeing so many cute guys around, not to mention the hot and tanned ones, but none too outstanding.

Tried shooting, and I was told by the NS guy that I was good. Yippee! Totally made my day. The army food sucks, it looks like vomited food, with glutinous rice.

I'm kinda worried about how he's gonna survive NS when he enlists in early 2008.

I miss him. LOADS.
