The Beginning

Now…Where do I begin? My mind is a disorganized array of thoughts (the effect of thrusting too much of technology into that little prisoner inside my cranium!) that just keep pouring in..I am unable to keep pace with it. I feel like I have so much to write, to begin with, but when I get down to it, I am dumb-struck and frozen! Anyway, for you, I hope not to give a horrible time, with all my baubles. So, read away!

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!!!
