Back after a long time...

Finally it comes… Someone posted a comment as to why no post from me for a long time!

Yes it has been a long time. I don’t know why but I was not in a proper frame of mind to write or do anything worthwhile. I gave up analyzing the reason when I found that it was leading me nowhere.

So what have I been up to in the recent times? A lot and nothing! Here goes…

I became friends with Mr. A., a friend of a very good friend, Mr. V, a jovial, nice kid with a large heart and an ever-ready smile on his face. Mr. L, another friend of Mr. V, landed from Singapore and became one of us. Both of them are delightful characters and maybe someday I’ll have a post entirely on them.

Meanwhile, Mr. AB, room-mate of mine, returned from the US of A, There were lots to talk and hear. He had a rocking time for 8 months there, though by his own admission he was a bit bored and tired towards the end.

Another room-mate was getting married, so there was some work that we had to do. We needed to help him set-up his new home. All started with my trip to Chennai where I went to Saravana Stores (shopping paradise, if you can somehow bear the heat and humidity) and bought things required for the kitchen. When back in Bangalore, I accompanied him to Shivajinagar to buy the essentials. Two double cots with beds and pillows, a glass dining table with four chairs, a 3+1+1 sofa set with centre table and a TV stand. All for a cool 35K, nice bargain! Then there was this trip for his marriage (which happened to be in Kannur), I got busy in the planning and execution. The trip was enjoyable and fun with 8 of us traveling in a tempo traveler. It was fun all the way to and back! Another trip that I won’t be forgetting in a hurry!

Then there was another marriage, Mr. S, an ex-colleague and a great friend was getting married and I attended the function. Met some friends and colleagues from a time when I was more reckless and carefree. Have to say time changes people and people change with time. It was nice feeling not to feel envious or jealous or happy or sad to see the changes. Maybe as I said sometime ago, I have made peace with myself.

All along the rigors of routine office chores, I must admit I am not as driven as I was probably 2-3 years ago. I have more time to spend on myself now, which was not the case earlier. But I used to love those times when I spent most of the time in the office actually WORKING. Nowadays I work in the office. J

Another thing that kept me busy was the house hunting. We wanted to shift from the place that we have currently rented to a new place. One is that we are sort of bored of this place; secondly the rent has been increased, whereas in all the other places the rent has been decreased.

Now I am planning for another road trip this coming weekend. J

More about it soon.
