Life so far...

Well, here I am. Once again, a long long gap. This time, because life is way too happening. Lots n lots of them. On the career front - right from passport hassles for renewing my expired passport at Chennai Regional passport office, to applying for UK visa, getting stamped, applying for Goldie's passport, and then requesting for urgent treatment, Anjali's health issues, completely packing our rented house in Chennai, selling the bikes (yeah - I have sold my babe - my brand new Bajaj Avenger), finally landing in London, relaxing, dakhalandajofying Anand-Ashwini's life, tasting new and better wines, beers, visiting London pubs and so many things. O M G - life have been happening. The best happening so far being - no cockroach terror. Those ugly - red-brown - huge - flying cockroaches - they had literally made me not-so-carefree. Yuck! Why the hell am I writing about cockroaches here. Puke!!!

And yeah - I did study a lot, a lot really. Secured few offers. Declined few of them - but finally agreed to commit for this Amadeus one. After 2 months of relaxation, its gonna be too tough for me to confine my bum to one chair for entire day (read work hours). I am really not sure, if I am excited about this position, but I look forward to another long duration of unsettled life. I look forward to the uncertainty that this new career path brings, this is gonna keep me on my toes, and I really get to live my life on the edge for the next few years for the least. I look forward to the financial risk it brings. I look forward to the constant stress, and I look forward to the distraction from negativities of life.

On the personal front, I look forward to the playtime with Goldie in parks. Letting her sit on my shoulder, and roam around on streets (while she snatches my hairs :) ). I look forward to see her learn angrezi, and this accent. I look forward to us talking to her in angrezi, which at this moment looks like a huge task for me. I am so much desi at heart, how do I get to connect with her, if angrezi is the language. I look forward to this. Another class of life. Another few teachers and another few subjects. Another few lessons!

Nothing has changed.. nothing's gonna change!

Yeah. Really. Nothing has changed. Contrary to what I initially thought, core properties of people do not change with age, geography, current affiars or anything else. Yeah - experienced it. But, no one apart from those who are closely connected to myself, Anand, Rahulya, Dhirya and Dhavalya would understand.

I am till today, the same casual guy. Not serious about career or life. Bhanda still walks with gheesofying his footwear. Rahulya still gets angry the same way he used to in those good old days. Dhiru is same old dhandrat. Dhaval is still slow by default. Though, each one of us (me inclusive) have got abilties to behave on top of these core properties, but 'Hey world, you leave us alone, and we still are
unchanged".

After spending all these days with Anand-Ashvini, as an 'athithi' in their house, a few long duration phone calls together with others (Dhiraj - Dhaval - Rahul), I still bet, we want to retain our core properties forever. Whether its Bhanda saying 'chalo' without even meaning it, or I pakaofying; whether its Dhiraj's professional attitude or its Dhaval's slow paced delivery of words, rahul will never ever clean his moustache. Hehehe!!!
