I want to write heaps, but this one finally did it, "what are you doing for New years", yes its the season where you have to have someone to be seen with or you might as well curl up and die!. I don't think I've been with anyone for any new years. Last year's took the cake. briefly, big south indian family gathering, cousin from berkely showing off his affiliation to the Berkely Bhangra club, and then the big south indian family gathering also vying for a spot in that bhangra club. that made my new year's resolution for this year - I need a Stiff drink!.
This year has seen numerous phases. I was in college till may, truly some halcion days. Parting with all my friends and with that insouciant life was truly painful. Even now I miss how we used to indulge in meaningless arguments while the sun shone fatheadedly. then came some does of real physical pain when I got operated upon for a ligament tear, I thought I'd never walk again. barely after I started walking, I found myself in hyderbad working For Google. working for the big G can only be described a FUN!. In Hyd I had my own bed, my own curtains, my own toilet with flower motif on all the tiles and my own geyser in my own toilet!. I'll never forget my apartment and my weird roomies. and then 6 weeks after I found myself back in bangalore, back in my parents place.
I still need a stiff drink.
Happy New Year All!

In three months, you will start writing like this. OK, maybe slightly better, but the gist remains.
That was rather brief! Everything alright?
AI,
Hey I understand that typical desi mentality of US educated desis, esp from top-notch schools/univs. I totally empathize with your frustration, gal. Sometimes, it's not the individual but it's their parents who are walking on cloud nine. What bull crap? Having been in the US for a few years, my biggest lesson was a much better appreication of India -- an outlook I'd have never developed if I hadn't stepped out of India. In that context, staying away from India can definitely develop your character, if one approaches it that way. Else, one will simply resort to unnecessary snobbery (so freakin' hollow yaar).
Anyways, you sounded a little less upbeat than usual. I hope it was only a case of year-end blues and nothing else. Just wish you had more to write. I love your style of writing, your witty comments and observations and how you just "let it out" -- you unburden yourself really well :-)
Hey, keep writing, gal, and stay away from those stiff drinks (I can't bear to read you stiff...just kidding..I know, I know, that was a pj....he he he).
Warm regds and wish you an adventurous New Year!!
