Hello all,
Its been a while here, have survived fire, earthquake, and thunderstorms to name a few and, sorry to disappoint Aritra, but things don’t appear so shocking anymore.
Remember the bridge?
First it started swaying dangerously when our bus used to be on it—Did not surprise me at all. Then it became so bad that the bus used to go at a speed of a snail when the crossed it— All in a day’s work.
After a few days it became too risky so it was decided that we would cross the bridge on foot, the bus will go empty and then we will board it on the other side — It happens.
Then it was too dangerous for the empty bus, so were getting down from the bus on this side of the bridge, and the university was sending another bus to pick us from the other — Mundane.
So, I am ok here, people say I look different these days. According to my uncle it is like Swank in Million Dollar Baby, but he is too kind.
It is more like Gollum in Lord of the Rings.
Anyway, let me share a few things that I have learned about life.
When your living alone in a third floor apartment, you will always be unsure about whether you have locked the window or turned the gas off when you have got down to the ground floor.
When your parents know about your memory dysfunction and makes a list on your door of things to take with you when you go out (like torch, umbrella, lunchbox etc) they should also include ‘purse’ in it.
When a lot of people work away from their home, they can be really innovative in their leave-taking techniques.
Your maids will come to work as and when they like.
You can actually synchronize your sleep with power cuts.
When you are expecting a career advancement, you can put James Bond to shame with your spying ability.
When every time you are introduced to a colleague, the third advice they give is ‘don’t trust anyone’ (the first two being always carry an umbrella and a torch) then you should take this advice seriously.
When you wake up in the morning all fatigued because of the noisy thunderstorm in the previous night, then if you look at the end of a dusty road and can see the hills with white clouds at the peak, then you suddenly feel an indescribable peace of mind.
Looking forward to hear about your lives
