Cudn't explain my extended absence from blogs!....I've got to defend my thesis in a couple of months...so had been getting busy with that (beleivable eh!)....had been to Paloduro canyons...a really gorgeous gorge formation close by...and for the best part went Hiking ....it was fun....imagine getting scared at the smallest of bugs and tadpoles...Dawdlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11331581119833463424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5565243.post-1061346527783953532003-08-19T21:28:00.000-05:002003-08-19T21:29:40.603-05:00 Nothing to post ...fixed my lab computer at last.....so can work late......i mean do useless things late....suddenly over the past few days...my head is kinda like in vacuum...raring to do something...but unable to figure out that something...... rambling on to those innumerable things that I don't know....and possibly cudn't figure it out either.....and feeling really ashamed abt that too.....Dawdlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11331581119833463424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5565243.post-1061172562912265732003-08-17T21:09:00.000-05:002003-08-17T21:23:13.443-05:00 Independence !!
