You know you're a crybaby when...

Katy Perry's Firework gets you teary-eyed.

Baby Cologne? Really?

Home Coming

I like this template. Reminds me of Diwali.

I'm in Mumbai, again. Having ma ke haath ka khaana and growing fatter in the process. Mumbai's pretty much the same. Crowded, stinky and downright awesome.

I'm going to sound like a whine connoisseur (geddit? geddit?!) when I say this, but I really really miss home.

It's strange how even though my family's living in 3 different cities at the moment, everything's okay when we're together. The father and the sister flew in from Chandigarh. I slept my way through the entire 2 hours and 20 minute journey from Delhi to Mumbai. But, we all sat down for lunch, everything felt the same.

I'm a little different, though. I find myself cringing when I think of myself at this time last year. All I could think about was getting out of the house and living alone. All I want to do now is screw independence and go back to living at home. Squabbles over the remote, food, clothes and all.

I guess I'm not so grown up after all.

The New Normal

 

I never thought I’d actually miss my people.

For reasons I don’t want to elucidate, my parents and my brother are in Bombay and my sister is with my Maasi in Chandigarh. Meanwhile, I’m living in a PG in Delhi, craving one of those family dinners that have everyone dissolving in peals of laughter.

Conferences over Skype just aren’t the same.

I was thinking the other day and I realised that I’ve moved out of home. For good. I mean, I’m never going to live at my parents’ home, now. After under-graduation, there’ll be post-graduation. Then, I’ll be working and living in a flat of my own. Till I find my soulmate [I still have my doubts about this], at least.

Feels strange.

DU Lesson #3

Well, this isn’t exactly a DU lesson. But, what the hell.

Always bolt the room door before you decide to see how cool you look in your aviators by dancing in front of the mirror. Otherwise, the maid will enter and see you in weird poses. She will then proceed to smirk about it whenever you run into her.

Past, Present, Future.

DU has HOT stuff. Correction : Hot TALL stuff. I LOVE this place!

Also, I think my past* is hell-bent on following me around. An ex-crush of mine is a senior in my college. Another one is going to Khalsa. Crush-To-End-All-Crushes is in Hindu. And that’s not all. There is this one guy who up and bloody left Engineering in Illinois State and is now in Hindu. True story.

ANYWAY! My classes haven't really started poori tareeke se. I have huge gaps in my timetable which is AWESOME because it means I can move about North Campus freely! Lovin’ the first few days of college.

 

*When I say past, I almost always mean unrequited like. Yeah, I’ve lead a sad, sad life.
