The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy is a wonderful book, just like the Guide itself. It's sort of a hope generator, carrying a message throughout the book that just when you're feeling you can't get any angrier/sadder/happier, something or the other WILL happen to make you angrier/sadder/happier. It's all fine really, because when it's all finally over you won't feel any worse for it. Everything turns out for the best, just that it only turns out right for varying lengths of time. Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Infinite Improbability Drive. Somebody Else's Problem Field. The HHGttG Mk II. Marvin. God's Final Message To His Creation. Flying. Babel Fish. Slartibartfast. Towel. Everything will work out okay if you know where your towel is. Don't Panic.

A Cascade of Conversations.

It is a convenience to not have to type a datestamp, so I waste a line on it. The conversation I had with Mr. Malik was hurried; if its depth were to be mapped by sonar, it would be very irregular. The air time was pretty evenly divided, I think, although I know my egotistical thought process gives me way more credit than I'm due for. Still, no, wait, not still, I also committed a grave error of leaving out a person from my life history, despite saying in the same conversation, at a different point of time, words to the effect that a nurtured grievance tends to intensify negatively over time. I hope I have not slipped up too badly. Mahak pressed the red button when I called right now. With Mum, I knew in my heart she knew I was going to be serious about Mahak. Hence, at an opportunistic moment was exploited to full advantage, meaning no negativity whatsoever, and Mum accepted the news with good humor; I think her apprehensions are going to wait till December. Now, I have two things...
