Under the Shade of the Banyan Tree

I have, as of yesterday, entered the shade of the banyan tree.

I would have thought that after five years of staying in hostel, and doing summer internships for four of those years, I would be used to the idea of staying 'alone' and working. Turns out I am not. I have shocked myself. Never expected myself to get homesick. But, am so so homesick, after just one day of work and going home to an empty flat. Every time I think of home, I choke up ... it's frustruating really... never thought of myself as an emotional, sentimental fool.

I will return when I am myself again. Ciao.

To New Beginnings...

This post marks quite a few new beginnings. I have now officially shifted to Bombay, for the forseeable future. Since from now on until atleast the next few months, I will have only intermittent access to the internet, I will be irregular here. And so, I have, after much research, activated email blog posting, so that atleast once in a while I might be able to post.

 

I would ideally have liked a longer post, but will content myself with merely bidding an official goodbye to student life, life without responsibilities, and to small town life and look forward to (?) beginning a life where I will learn to live life in the fast lane, where 12 hour work days will become 'normal' and where my vocabulary will now include words such as 'leave without pay', 'CL', 'EL', deadlines etc.

 

The one definite bright spot in all of this is that I have, along with two of my friends, found for myself a wonderful flat. The flat and the flatmates are what I am looking forward to, the most.

 

So till next time, ciao. :-)
