Random thoughts…

Yesterday was a busy but, feel good kind of day. All morning we did some cleaning and got rid of a lot of old stuff. Thinking about it now; for me it was a mixed feeling – I have started packing my bags to go back to Bombay. I am not sure on the exact date on when I will head back, but yeah it looks like I will be back by the end of this month or 1st week of Nov. I came to Chennai on 19th July; except for the uncertainty and the sultry climate; it was one of the best and the most enjoyable three months.

When I was packing yesterday, my 3 year old nephew Krishna came up to me and asked me what I was doing.. I said I have to go back to Bombay and I packing for that and he said “But I don’t want you to goooooo”. He then sat inside my suitcase and say “You pack me in then”. That moment was certainly worth living up to the inhumane climate of Chennai. I have already started wondering how horrible it’s going to be away from these two darling kids. I am used to be woken up by Amu or Krishna every morningJ, now their routine is very much a part of me too.

I will miss Paru’s same playlist every evening - she makes it a point to put it on cause all those songs which she plays are “rap”, “hip-hop” type of song..something that’s just not my choice. Basically the songs get onto my nerves. Well there is no need to say that it’s going to be difficult without Nischechi and Vinchettan. They make sure that Paru and I have everything we need..we don’t need to worry about anything actually.

I wouldn’t deny that I am looking forward to go back to Bombay. There are a lot of things that I am looking forward to do there.. lot of change that I have been waiting for. For one I have decided that I want to join French classes once I get back (hope that actually works). Apart for all that, my friends are waiting for me to get back. I too am waiting to meet them. Everyday Soumya, Priya, Sri…….. and almost all my friends just want to know when I am getting back to Bombay. It’s a lot to look forward to.

Even though I have all this; still somewhere at the back of my mind it doesn’t feel too good to leave…cause after all I am going away from one “home” to another…..
