if the gods ever give you words

I'm in India! We're staying in one of my favourite parts of India to stay in, which is this place in Bombay called Powai, where I lived when I was in third grade for about eight months before we hopped on, off, and away to Shanghai. Powai's amazing, it has everything I need (good food, good bookstores, and good weather), but most importantly, it has a thing called Janta Bakery, which is Love in the form of a bakery. They have the best samosas in the world. 

The only downside is was the plane ride, which was ... kind of awful. Apparently, I had a seizure on the plane - which I don't actually remember - because the entire flight screwed up my sleep schedule, and then I sobbed throughout the entire landing, because it was miserable and hurt so much. I don't know why it hurts, some people say it might be sinuses, but it hurts, a lot, and I hate it. Then, when the plane landed, we had to get me a wheelchair to get around the airport, because I was still pretty out of it and couldn't walk.

Yeah. I really hate aeroplanes.

It's really not been a good week for me, health wise. This last week, I kind of had to beg off fitness since after Tuesday, because it hurt to walk. Or to sit. Or to have legs. It's not my fault, I found this app called PumpUp (which is really fantastic, by the way - it's free and it's great for fitness, I highly recommend it) and I did a workout, thought it was fine and was quite pleased with myself, and then, suddenly, pain on the day after, letting me know that it was Most Definitely Not Fine.

So, in shocking news: water is wet and fitness is pain. I'm better now, so there's no need to worry, I'm just, you know, airing out my fitness woes, as you do.

Anyway, in other, much happier news: last week, my mother got me an ereader as a belated birthday gift (from last year) and a graduation gift in one go! It's a Kindle Paperwhite. It is gorgeous. I am in love with it. Did you know there are around 29,000 free eBooks to be downloaded? OK, so you probably knew that, but did you know I'm going to download all of the ones I can find in English and try to read them all?

OK, you probably knew that too. Well done, you. 

So, now that I have an easily portable version to do so, I've started reading Les Miserables, in addition to the books I'm reading for my Coursera course. I tried to finish it when I was in ninth grade / year 10, but then homework and exams happened, so I had to stop, which was super irritating, because I really loved it, but now I have the time to finish it and love it even more. I love the writing style so much.

Anyway, how are you? What're your thoughts on ereaders versus books?
