Back at home..BORED!

I am bored…bored,bored,bored….never imagined I would miss college so much.I mean,yeah even though I’m pampered like anything at home(you know,mom sitting beside me every night,asking me what I would like to eat the next day..dad coming home early,ready for a game of carrom whenever I tell him that I’m bored..aunts and uncles calling up to check whether I’v grown thin or not!!!and of course,the entire colony turning up one by one at home,treating me like I am some kind of a celebrity out from a crappy reality T.V show..”beta,how is the food there?”,”whom did you return with,beta?”and the most dreaded question of all-“beta,do they teach you properly in manipal?”…After all I am a “manipalite” now-everyone around has the same misconception about Manipal,not a single “shareef” person studies there..except off course yours truly(me!!)…
Anyways,clearing the wrong concepts of the masses about manipal(YES! PEOPLE,WE ARE TAUGHT DECENTLY WELL..AND WE DO STUDY!!)in my next entry..coming back to where I was, I AM BORED.It’s been 15days since I came home for my summer holidays,and I’m missing college like anything.GOD!what a relief it would be if I could sit out on the pavements for long hours in the evenings or just hang out at the campus stores for endless hours..sigh!
But as they say,home is where your heart is….and in the course of writing this piece,I suddenly realize that as much as I miss life back in manipal,I LOVE the pampering!I love the fact that I am treated like a princess(by my parents off course!)..and I love meeting up with old friends and just chit-chatting the whole day without bothering to do anything on my own..!! As of now,Life is good..and I have no reason to complain at all..(except for the fact,perhaps,that my mom is hell bent on making me eat so much that I atleast gain 10 kilos.. ;-)….
