To be or not to be.

To be, or not to be, that is the 
question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to
suffer
The slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of 
troubles
And by opposing and them. To die -
to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we
end
The heart-ache and the thousand
natural shocks
That flesh is heir to : 'tis a
consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to 
sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream - ay
there's the rub :
For in that sleep of death what
dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause - there's the
respect
That makes calamity of so long life.

- William Shakespeare
Hamlet.


Tailpiece.

Got up around a quarter to 6, the chores and was ready by 9. We left home by 10 and was at Shenoy Care by a half past 10. The doctor was pleased with Lekha's test readings and her progress. He said quite a few nice words about the unveiling of Muthachhan's statue, wished us a happy new year. Will meet him, now, on 29 Mar, next year! 

We left the premises by a half past 2 and had lunch at the Aryaas at Panampilli Nagar. 

Satish Bhat was, as usual, talkative and has said that we'd meet again on 28 Jan. 

We went to Nilgiris, after that, as Lekhs wanted to buy a few things from there. Reached my cousin's office by 1700 hrs for tea. Returned home soon after. Meera and Sidharth came by for dinner and it was wonderful to meet them.
