Lazeee Birthday
It was always going to be a lazy start. I am still sleepy and yawny as I type this. Yawn… Moms message was the first to come and then Shobha Masee came through. I had not informed my friends in Auckland about my birthday. Went to the Samaon house at Auckland University. It’s a depiction of meeting places and is made up huge logs with Island jigjag designs on them.
It is similiar to the Maori Maerie. Anyway Auckland College has merged with Auckland University and thus I may need to redo the paper before I get the qualification.
The Visual Communication Paper is coming along fine and I may get a quick Photography paper which is a week long paper. But before that I may be going a week or two in driven tour of NZ interiors.
Birthdays niether thrill me nor sadden me. Because I have left the centre stage for my niece whos born on the same day as me.
Korean film
I saw a Korean film. Its a black comedy about a bank employee becoming a wrestler. It was extremely funny. The AUT has some award winning films on the show in their auditorioms. The colors captured in the film were mindblowing. The VIZ COM paper is going well giving me a feel about Adobe Photoshop CS. My mind is cluttered with a million distractions and the options are driving me bonkers.
Visual Communication
The Visual Communication course is rocking and i’m rolling. Am learning Photoshop essentially and Paul Brakfield is a good professor. So everything is fine. Moved out of Justins and planning to go camping with the other Justin after a week or so. So life is not really bad. Mom is fine and the window is missing. Love
Saturday
I’m planning to go the beach with Justin. If he calls. Its pretty hot here and I spend a lot of time in a new book store looking at photography books and reading superman comics. I’m yet to meet chagas and muffy. I have no idea where Mo, Sid and my pakistani brother Mashood ul haq is. Everything else is fine. I still miss the window. Mom seems very fine.
Summers Beautiful
I have had a short haircut. First time in my life. The summer is hot and the sun is too direct and indiscreet. Have been catching up with friends and about to start my Visual Communication paper at Auckland University of Technology. am in touch with mom. Have had roaming passes and moving back to Papatoetoe which is a beautiful suburb of Auckland. My favourite one as I first landed in Papatoetoe. Justins house got a much needed fan last night and its his birthday on 4th. Have lots of lunch and dinner invitations on Sunday.
Sunny Days
The last two days have been busy as hell and very sunny. The summer is here and the Santa Claus’ are hanging from all major stores in Auckland. Life is fun.
LOLESHIS at Manurewa
Mom had said that I must keep in touch with the Loleshi family and I feel more of that myself. My life is getting fuller and fuller everyday. Yesterday when I spoke to Mom I was relieved that she is fine. Thus today I had a full nights sleep and headed for the Loleshi residence. Trains have become much better in Auckland and i took a full days pass. It was great.
Had a quick veg currie with rice – alu mutter and works. Took the pass and went to Loleshis after having coffee with a Samoan granny who was telling me about Samoa. Manurewa is still beautiful as are the tenants. It was a sensational walk from Homai as I stood in front of the L residence and knocked.
Wow. The book worm was as pleased to see me as I was. The hollywood muscleman was next as we exchanges hugs. Sesa was still smiling from last time and Bronson didn’t know me yet. But it was great. Sensational.
I met Ronnie the dad and he is still the great gentleman as usual in his coke van. It was so fulfilling to see the family I had come back for.
Met Raman my last landlord and his wife. They were great to me as had a grab to bite. She’s a great cook. They were very nice to me as I told everyone Mom was fine.
Went to west Auckland on train as I encountered a mad lady at the platform. But the west is awesome green. Just came back had some lamb currie and am mighty satisfied.
Thanks Sweety Arun and Sandeep for calling Mom.
Life is goodA lot of services in this country are absolutely free and the Polynesian sound of town Otara, which looks dangerous to a lot of people is friendly. I relax around books so I’m at the library planning to meet a lot of people through a bus pass today have to catch up with the 2 Justins. Visit College. Apply for a library job. Its all happening. The social scene is still very friendly and life is as it always was cool and slow and full of million simple pleasures staring at your face waiting for you to call out their names.
Went to Manaku Institute of technology for a communications course
Good days Bad Days
Myers Park is a dangerous park at night and Justin’s girlfreind walked through it at night and they had a fight. The next day was cloudy and disastouros and I stayed home since it was a Saturday. Went to church on Sunday with Daniel and met my Singaporean well-wishers. Had lunch there . It was a great clear day. And came home where J and Girl Friend were supposed to do photography but actually painting themselves. I did not want another brown on me so went to Borders book store and read Everything Changes. An amazing book about life. I was still down because I had not got through to Mom last night but suddenly got through and talked for 42 minutes and am very happy. I’m allright and pretty cool and looking good too today. Love

Auckland VS Bombay
It took me just 4 hours to be happy. Once I came out of the Airport. Thanks to my three superman friends Daniel, Justin & Justin. Daniel picked me up from theAirport. His wife was so hospitable and super nice. Dan gave me a haircut and dropped to Downtown at Justins apartment which is small but very classy. I could not sleep on the couch inspite of being a couch potato. I was worried about mom and still feel I haven’t done enough. Before retiring I and Justin went for a walk in the dark parks of auckland where there is some crime. It is as exciting as Aarey Milk Colony’s Panthers and Foxes. I told him about a bit of my life. The other Justin met at the Borders book store and we had sushi and iced tea and walked the harbour where a low sun was showing off dark clouds. My bank account is till $0 balance and free service.
I’m doing communication papers at Otago in summer. Went dancing to Margeritas after a long time. No. I dont pick women from call centre or pubs. Besides I still miss the window girl. But life is great again and libraries and million other priveledges are still free for me. I can still dance like a devil. The sea gulls are still as beautiful and the falafals and sussy and iced tea and bana milk shake is still great. Mission bay is an exotic beach in the night. I’m really happy. If you can call and tell mom that.
