Splinched

Yes, the word on whose meaning I was pondering upon in the last post does exist, so what if the only occurence I came across was in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It is a phenomenon which occurs if you don't apparate correctly, that is, you leave some part of you (e.g. a toenail, a leg, a head) behind. It happened to Ron in his first test, where he left a teeny-weeny eyebrow behind.

Anyway, being a fan of the Potter series, I managed to go through the sixth book again recently. This act was, however, prompted by lack of other books to read, and my propensity to enjoy books which I have already enjoyed once. Also by the unanswerable "Why?" which crept up in my mind while reading "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy. This little "why" turned into a hydra-like-question-monster, and I went all numb. Stupid book.

This book was nothing compared to the emotional and physical turmoil I recently went through. I will not go into that, no matter who you are, and what you stand to gain out of it. I just put this here, so that people who read this can know not to bug me. And definitely not ask me to put more posts on my blog than what I deem necessary.
