SWAR has disappeared

According to the Indian Postal Service, you, Swar, are an NSP (No Such Person).

The parcel of books I sent you was returned with NSP scribbled all over it (the postman translated for me).

Where are you Swar? And were you, in fact, ever there at all? And if not, who drank all my Black Label in Vasind?

Such an interesting development this is.

Meanwhile, the plays I sent you (who?) are back with me.

Well well -- you learn something every day. I just did -- capgras syndrome. I'd never heard of it but now I know -- thank you, google (and Ram of course).

hehe welcome

also chk out the amok syndrome and cotard's syndrome for further entertainment.

i've researched both these phenomenon and found them fascinating, metaphorically.

guess the BA in psychology was worth sleeping through all those classes.

Wow -- I like cothard's syndrome a lot (metaphorically of course). Cothard and Capgras -- sounds like a firm of English Home Counties lawyers.

My goodness, Ram. I didn't realise you were quite such a learned person. Those terms were really fascinating, especially amok syndrome...never figured the root of that term. Psychology grad, hmmm? Might pick your brains later...

How do you guys get through the final weeks of your play preparation? I'm getting the jitters just thinking about it!
This is my last week at work, and I hardly have time to think, but have already started waking up before the alarm goes and dreaming up the worst disasters. And of course, nothing seems to be going right.

God bless Anu for keeping my hopes up for the script! Just completed the first act and figured out what I need for the second and third. Couldn't be quite as ruthless as Anu would have liked me to be (!) but I have tried. You're brave, Maia, to be able to scrap the central problem and rework it completely. How's it going? Is Rustom still around?

Wrote three pages this morning and deleted all of it. What's the cure for a muddled mind? Am willing to try meditation, yoga, the works...just too jumpy to be able to do anything!

What's happening with the rest of you guys?

By the way, read Bone and thought it fabulous. Didn't like What's in the Cat quite as much, though the intensely personal quality of it hit me hard. My heart craves some amount of softness, some hope, I think. Quite silly, huh?
