I just moved into my new home now, home IS the exact way to call it by all means! It's a tiny establishment, with room enough for just two girls to stay put with their cargo (what else can I say, about loads of trinkets, junk and well, to sum it all up.. girly-girly adds-on :)) But well, it houses no kitchen to satiate my hunger for what I dare now call my chief hobby - cooking food (and eating, as well, eh…I confess I am unable to choose between the two for my ‘chief’ hobby), which is all that I have been doing, in the run-up to this Corporate life (look at the contrast!), for around half a year! But then, that means I have to eat out everyday (well, not that great a loss for me, there are umpteen panipuriwallahs around this place and I can just…you know…give each one a shot whenever I feel like, and still not get bored!). Getting back to where I was, about this moving-in thing…talking about my mate, I was observing my company’s forum meant for info-exchange, and I found this girl searching for a room. I didn’t try contacting her first, I wanted people to contact me! And when none really did, I got desperate and concluded that I will have to condescend and get on with it. So, I mailed this girl and there was her prompt response, which gave me the impression that I wasn’t the only desperate one here. So, we got together for a rendezvous and well, she wasn’t that bad now :) And I was building up on some adrenalin, since I was vacating my old dump and then moving into this haven that I found for myself, (eh…now, I don’t say ‘ourselves’ here, because I am finding it pretty hard to see any differences – we even share the same first name)! Food is our top priority, really (and that lucky kid is off to one of the finest dining lounges tomorrow night and am I jay!) and the best thing so far is this – we have enough space to spend with our own selves and we mutually respect that. So, that’s how it all began! And to take it further, I really get this gut feeling that it’s not mere coincidence that brought us together…Some things shall always remain a mystery.
Anyway, now I can relate to this city and really feel its warmth on me. I had landed here late November, right on my birthday, only to find the city pretty hostile to my needs, arrogant as I may seem, nevertheless, that was pretty much how I felt. It was as though I landed here out of nowhere and it sickened my insides with a fear of having to put up with this, till Heaven knew when. The traffic only lubricated my fear…Now, I really feel the city has had nothing to do with my thoughts; it’s only that my viewing perspective has just bettered to a wider degree. Good for me! Well, so long now and looking forward to a rollicking life here, filled with scintillating fireworks!!!
