On the Road Again
Originally published September 2006
Am back to a new place. Life is interesting. Am going to Alexandria for my training “school”. I am told that it is a beautiful place. In fact I have a good feeling that the only reason the place has an international airport is to cater to the tourists.
There is of course the amazing trip to Bombay. Met some old people. And some of the ones I left behind. Looks like the world isn’t changing too much in those parts. There’s a lot that I could say about this trip. Krishna, remains unchanged, jumping around life. Shashi is the ever-so-young-brat now attempting a few new things. Fubbu decided to stop whining, for a few moments. Sriram continues to be injured. Hillu is the perrenial nincompoop. Vanitha and Soad are fighting hard at life, and keeping busy. Airtel seems to have decided to be the worst at respecting the customer. Akshay and Ghoda are settling in nice. PC and Arvind are still kids. Why am I writing about the lot? Because my life is completely empty right now. Relatively speaking. Might turn out to be a good thing.
Financial stability has to be achieved soon. Can’t seem to find the right place to buy gadgets, that I need to have on me very very soon. May soon end up paying a premium for this.
And yes. The biggest event of my life so far has been the fact that there were two people to see me off at the airport. Although to most people that might not be a big deal — to me it was amazing. I turned around at the airport. Although there was nobody waiting to watch me trail off into the distance; I couldn’t help but smile to myself.
Egypt. Need a camera. Bombay. Will come back at the end of the year. Hopefully.
