Oooh...4 hours of sleep doesn't sound good. 😕Seems like an unusually busy time at work for you.

Other distress?😳
@Hugh Laurie: I have always been a huge fan of him since "House M.D.". And it was a pleasant surprise to see him in "Veep" last season.👍🏼 😳 This seems to be the only show which is getting better as it "ages". The writing/directing was top notch in Season 4!
Which brings me to The Big Bang Theory. The premiere was just ok..."Meh" if you ask me. There is only so much they can do with the story arcs and in stretching it, they have hopelessly butchered the characters in the name of character progression. Amy was such fun and now she is a victim of Sheldon's quirks. Penny and Leonard are a train wreck. There is much more drama and very few laughs.


@Work: Haan, I am putting in extra hours, because I am leaving for vacation next month... For a whole month, I will be in Delhi (and only sporadically online here - if at all)... Uss waqt ki preparation mein, I am putting in extra hours these days...

@Hugh Laurie: I first saw Hugh Laurie sometime in the 1990s in the TV series "Jeeves and Wooster". I was the most devoted fan of PG Wodehouse in my school days, so I thoroughly enjoyed the show. And, of course, Hugh Laurie.
The character of House M.D. is rather dark... I liked him so much more as Wooster. 😆😆😆

@Big Bang Theory: I am not even surprised. I guess, I still have to catch up with season 7, but I am in no mood to waste any time on it... It was really funny when it started, but it has looped out of control in the last few years,

I figured that all these extra hours have something to do with your upcoming vacation. So when are you leaving for India 😊...somewhere in the second half of October or last week..?
This is funny - I am a H-U-G-E Wodehouse fan...absolutely ADORE the character of Jeeves - his encyclopaedic knowledge, his quotes from Shakespeare and the funniest thing was his continuous indignation\friction with Bertie Wooster over the latter's sartorial choices😆😆..handkerchiefs & purple socks & dinner jackets and their rift over Bertie playing the banjolele😆. I have his entire collection\ Omnibus lying at my place in Delhi. Aaah...I wish I had a book or two here with me so that I could pick it up right away and start reading it...it's been years since I read them.Ouch
@BBT: Right! It is slowly going down the drain. However, Modern Family is still funny. It's season premiere was better.

@Vacation: I will fly on 25.10. and will return on 15.11 - so, just after Diwali. I had originally planned my vacation to last another 10 days, but I had to cut it short...
Are you planning any vacations too? How often do you go back home?

@Wodehouse: Kwerky, we have had an extremely similar childhood. 😆😆😆
If Wodehouse were still alive when I was reading his books, I'd have written fan mail to him every week... I loved his books so much. Jeeves and Wooster, of course; but I also loved almost everything else he wrote...

@Modern family: THAT, I will have to catch sometime... Saans lene ki fursat miley toh...

Am glad to see you back, Kwerky...
And, phew!
🤗🤗🤗
You won't even imagine the things I had thought of...

Sometimes when I am writing an e-mail, or sometimes even on IF when I have written down a long post and something malfunctions, and my e-mail or long post gets lost in e-space, I get r-e-a-l-l-y angry. So, to lose quite a bit of data must've been nothing short of a catastrophe... It is good that you finally caught up... 😎

🤗 I am glad to be back. All these days I was totally cut-off from the TV land or even detailed news.

So how have you been? I see that GG is still missing...is she going to be on the BB forum?

I know right...it is incredibly frustrating when you lose the post/data or the work you have been doing.

So I saw that the forum is open and there are posts predicting the probable contestants. Seems like it is again a TV actor-heavy season...don't recognize most of them.

BB every year has a set pattern - an older (usually ill-behaved) actor: Aman Varma this year;... a few TV bahus: quite a few there this year; ...someone from the LGBT community;... a faded actress and actor/one-film wonder(s) from the big screen;... a couple of young men with pumped up bodies to pander to the fangirls; AND someone from Salman Khan's coterie😆...etc etc...they seem to have filled all their quotas again this year with all the rumored contestants. 😆 Everything else is a bonus. 😆

I began watching a show called "Suits". It is far-fetched, and exaggerated (rather obviously), but still quite a lot of fun... I have come down with such a crush on Patrick J Adams. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
And after only a casual perusal of the TOI website, I wasn't quite left with any interest in the news either. terrible things are happening in India - a man was lynched to death on suspicions that he ate beef, eminent writers are turning in their state-bestowed awards to protest against the stifling of free speech in the country, Arvind Kejriwal's minister was implicated in corruption and AK used the opportunity for more grand-standing, the air quality in Delhi is set to get worse this year... I just can't take it anymore.

Yeah... the way things have been, GG will probably only show up rarely...

I've been fine. It is also almost time for my vacation - so in the next days, I will have to finish off a lot of shopping. I still need to get all the Diwali gifts...

Also - the festive season is upon us. I intend to say a prayer for my father's shraadh tomorrow, and from day after, I am planning to fast for the navratri - but I'm not quite sure that fasting for all the days will even be possible for me... 😳
