Sab badal gya Acahanak!!!

Feb 19, 2009...

2 loong years since I updated my blog!! That is a freaking long time...even if I start giving excuses to myself as to why I stopped writing, I'd probably run out of words in English and Tamil( now that Chennai is my humble abode!!)

So...I missed blogging. I mean I missed writing, even though I constantly used to follow all the lovely blogs out there. And what changed since the last time I wrote a blog post...??? Well, now that's what this one's all about.

So much has changed that it seems like I'v already lived two-three lives..died a few times..had a near-death experience some more number of times and finally been re-born again in this unbelievably cruel yet fascinating world!! The biggest change of them all was College getting over :(. Four glorious years of carefree, young, crazy and brilliantly awesome moments..was gone.. and it was painful to part with that place that will always be my Home-Away-from-Home. Manipal shall always be remembered and cherished in the deepest, most special corner of my heart :)

What else happened..?? I got a job..a fairly good one..So, I'm an 'Application Design Specialist" now..(layman terms me Lighting Designer!! Got posted in Chennai, came here with a narrow, typical North-Indian mentality wanting to hate this place..but realized that all food here is NOT cooked in Coconut oil (that's Kerala i believe!!) and the Auto-walas are as notorious as anywhere in the country and It's not always hot!! I mean, December is quite pleasant, and January is actually cool!! and that you get the most amazing Biryanis all over the city.. and its ultimately the People who make a place worth living and liking.. (Yes, i like Chennai and more on Chennai some other time!).

Getting a job, implies I started earning!! and Boy-O-Boy!! That feeling of getting your first salary ever gave me the biggest high for days :) And spending that on buying stuff for Mom, Dad and getting a tattoo finally....enough Endorphins to last a lifetime :)

Made an official trip to Hong Kong, had one hell of an experience there..got to know classmates turned colleagues better..had a blast in Mumbai during my training there.. discovered my love for Mumbai and Marine Drive :) and realized thta "sales" was not my cup of tea!!

Also, fell in love..the "real" kind!! Asked someone out, got rejected, persisted and finally heard those magical words said back to me!! Lived some of the best moments of my life with him. Went from the initial high to the gradual lows..fought, made-up,spoke,heard,was made to feel special,tried to be there whenever I could,had arguments that went no where, heard things I did'nt agree with, tried making it work, It did'nt..and Life moved on :) Being in love was one of the best feelings I ever had and even though i wish it hadn't ended, It will also stay with me in some other tiny corner of my heart :)

Anyway, life has caught on a different pace now and everything has changed. More posts to follow on how, why, when and where do i go with these changes. For the time being, it feels good to be back on Blogger!! Writing my heart out-now thats something I really missed doing!!
