Parting is such sweet sorrow....

wellll.... the time to leave seems a lot closer when you are actually involved in the work going on.... not that there is any sort of labour involved, neither physical, nor mental... but then the thought of leaving behind a place that has been a part of your life is difficult... it might be easier if you have made the choice to move, but when it is unexpected, the idea is difficult to get used to... it is more difficult to digest if you dint like the where you are in the first place, but you have a lotta memories associated with it none-the-less... ( or is it nonetheless??) whatever...

i will always have very fond memories of hyd, no matter how much i used to dislike it... i guess going out so much wid akshay has added to the emotional/sentimental value of places here....

i think i'm straying from the topic... but yeah.... i will miss hyd... 12 years is a long long part of anyones life... life is a little laidback here.... and moving to bbay, where everything is at such a breakneck speed is going to be .....umm.... maybe challenging is the word i'm looking for...

leaving just when you get used to a place, you know the in and out of the city, you know which bus goes where, which restaurant is good, where you can go to just hang out, is tough... but is made easier by the knowledge that all my friends are moving out to wherever as well.... and that someday, this had to happen.... (i was thinking abt an analogy that had to do wid dandelions in the breeze but (a) it would have been too corny, and (b) i've never actually seen dandelions in the breeze... so there you go... no analogy...)

also, it is extremely comforting to know that i will be moving back to bombay (i know it is mumbai but whatever....) it is a place where i never feel like an outsider no matter what.... i guess noone does... it is a place like that.... and having stayed there earlier and being a regular visitor has not dulled the charm one bit... and then there are people who are just fr me.... or maybe all of us to move back, so much so that they are more excited abt us coming than we are...

anyway... before i bore myself too much, i think i should sign off now...
ciao!

Yes, memories don't leave us until we die they are a part of our life.
