Swimming against the tide - Time

Here's the Friday post as usual.But..this time its the dullest of Fridays ever since col started.The fact that tomorrow's going to be a working day as a compensation for Monday's holiday has left me lamenting on the 1 day weekend.As the title suggests days appear longer and the Earth seems to be circling slower despite the fact that i have work to do all day.And,i have started taking my mobile to col...dunno the reason for it though.I have developed a bad throat as a result of drinking water from the cooler in the college and also playing football in the rain last saturday.The best thing that happened to me this week is that i have picked up a few Japanese words.It's extremely difficult to learn the language...but i have always wanted to do that.Dunno when i will do it though!I know about 15 words right now(!!)..and it happened as i stumbled into a good site that teaches the language.

My home is house to a good number of plants that form a part of the ever-expanding garden.A plant(dunno what it is though)was planted nearly an year ago and it has never grown since then.It has remained at the same height right from the day i know it.(No..its nothing to do with Bonsai..Whoa!another Japanese word!!)I examined what was going wrong with that kiddo...and gave it a close look.I found two small worms which had antennas like things all over its body.
These small pests seem to be eating the big leaves of the poor plant.I was astonished that these creatures were even able to eat the leaves.Obviously...it would take them large amount of time to finish off with a leaf.When i found them...they were feeding on the leaves.Can someone find me the name of that thing?
Hope that the plant grows from now.


For no reason,i am feeling hyper-active right now!Weird!!
