It's Chaotic! I am officially an EU resident.

Allow me to not describe the hustle/ hassle that led me to possess the Lichna Carta - an official I.D legitimizing my residence in Bulgaria, and hence in the EU. I am not quite sure what all benefits come with this card besides trolling about the country-side, masquerading as a volunteer. But tell you what, it's pretty cool. May be not as cool as the day I was born, but it's far out.


On a different note, I am doing well. Eating healthy. Not running. Missing you all in gross amounts.

Current favorite Bulgarian dish: Sarma - little rice rolls + ground meat wrapped in cabbage leaf. Served with delicious yogurt sauce.

That's because Lady Ani called it.


From north-south, east-west all across the world through the much carried hype, Obama is now the president. But none of us knew of the outcome, but Lady Ani*. She's a mysterious lady i am told. And she lives in the foothills of some mountain in Bulgaria. Sources claim that she predicted a "big fire" in the United States in the previous millennium (1998), only to see a world crash at our feet few years later. Subsequently Lady Ani visioned a "chereno" leader for America by the year 2010. So what we do know now? It's the sheer pattern of the stars in the cosmos that gave us Obama as out next president. People's will? You're joking. 

* We have disguised the name not because we're concerned of her safety, but that her name could not be verified.
