Dearest bloggy,
I had a most unendurable time yesterday. I had promised the beautiful colleague (BC) that I'd go with her to her friend's Sindhi cultural function. Fateful decision!
Everyone was dressed as if they had spent time from 4 onwards to achieve the effect. Poor me, straight from office in my shirt sleeves, trousers and scuffy block heels. I didn't even feel bad, what business have I to prink up. As if I would ever prink up so much for a show. We settled down to wait for the start. Ugh, bloggy. It was a whole bunch of dance numbers, one after another. And only one, out of all the performers we saw that evening, could dance. I had to ask Saranya to fake an asthma attack so I could leave. I could have been straightforward and told them I was getting a little bored and exasperated.
I am such a snob and I can't help feeling that I'd be less bored at a Bengali thing organised on such a scale. What I went to last night was like a university hall production. Amateurish, garish and lacking in talent.
In other news, I've discovered phonons. I don't think, that's my problem. When one learns about the particle/wave duality in school, we're always thinking of light, energy etc etc. I have discovered today that you can extend this to vibration. Indeed many crystals transmit heat through phonons, which are particles, a quantized form of vibration. How thrilling!
