Fractured Eggs
i had a scary notion. having no respect for an established system is a dangerous thing.
that includes looking into every crook and canny, every proleptical loophole. i pray, each night.
in more scary news, i turned 23 two nights back. thank you, and you, and you. for remembering. it has perhaps been the best quarter of my life.

Standards
first week done at Standard Chartered. structured products on the trading floor.
and i would not be able to fanthom why our career services office would beseech us to don suits for interviews, when the trader opposite me juggles tennis balls in much greater adeptness than non deliverable forwards.
my team is made up of 6 individuals. from 7 countries. dutch. american. china. indian. half-portuguese half-somewhere. and me.
i'm still getting used to the fact when my team leader shakes his head in a horizontal wave-like motion whilst our most senior dutchman nods his head fervently, yet both of them remarkably implying the same thing.
and yes, my team leader is an indian. incredibly smart one at that.

God loves me. a love so great, unconditional, real.
my life in a nutshell. working towards loves of sorts. beautiful, symmetrical, tangible, great, unconditional and real.
a page, deliberately left blank.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8
