Ten things I miss about Chennai/Home.

  1. The Beach!
  2. The sound of the AC thermostat going “click”, when I’m half asleep at 2 or 3am.
  3. My feet on the table, Pink Floyd casting their spell, looking into the monitor.
  4. Hours and hours of wall staring.
  5. The numerous, midnight freak out places. (It’s not always about the booze!)
  6. Bike rides, with an attire to be worn in Antarctica.
  7. Long naps on the open book.(more of a college student thing)
  8. Delicious mangoes. I know I’m still in India. But, the pleasure of sitting in front of the TV and sucking on a cold mango seed on a Chennai summer afternoon. WOW!
  9. The rare rain. And the temptation to get wet.
  10. The beach! Oh I’ve already listed that. The teleporting thoughts while I sit and watch the waves.

Stating the Obvious

It is nevere ever forgivable, when I say I have been working my arse off, and coz of that I havent been writing anything in this space. To be very very honest, I have opened the 'New Post' page atleast a coupla times and sat right there, wondering what I should write. The same is the case now. I have no idea what I should write about. It`s been a long time since I used this space. But, absolutely nothing has happened from then till now. Life is absolutely stagnant, no forward nor a backward movement. I`m staring straight into the tunnel, which has no end. And believe me, it is pretty damn dark in there.

I have brought my dad`s car to Bangalore. Diesel price has been increased. I, not contradicting with universal opinion, accept the fact that, bangalore traffic is quite annoying, especially when you use a car. But, the climate is awesome and with good music in the car, and if you are not in a hurry, then you can always live happily with a car here. Again, with the hike in the fuel prices, I might just contradicting myself.

For quite sometime, I have been wanting to write about the things I notice when I go on a long walk on the airpot road. But, by the time i started writing, I had stopped taking one of those walks. This is an absolutely non-sense post, with a non-sense title. But, Heres a start. I`m not gonna leave this place. So, expect more soon.
