The shortest response to "what have you been up to"

Diwali was a long time ago. Since then, my brother got married (picture the great big Indian wedding), I took a job at the all-new Novotel Hyderabad as a marketing services associate (yeah, i still don't know anything about marketing), developed nasty acne and belly aches through the next 6 months, quit my job, and moved to coconut-tree-infested Mysore for 2 months to practice ashtanga vinyasa yoga.

I return to Hyderabad at the end of September.
