Chapter 1

Finally I have decided to write a blog, I never thought i would be able to express myself in words [few or many] . I have started writing this one as I have started a new phase in my life.... Welcome to the real world.....!!! I can't believe the time has come to start working... It feels like yesterday when mom left me outside the playschool gate.. ha ha imagine sending a child to play school at 1 and a half yr... oh god!! now I tell ma that it was a criminal thing to do.. no wonder I was made to sit of the swing where all the 'Cry - Babies ' sat.... as I got adjusted to that it was time to leave and join nursery.. the school gates used to be huge and it felt like jail... [ memories courtesy ma dearest, can't remember clearly what i did a month back itself :) ] . Then it was time to leave and in Gwalior i made new friends... which was a very difficult thing to do as a kid because i was such an introvert... would love to play on my own and be on my own.... I was pretty much a loner.. anyway i vividly remember my mom yelling at me for coming home on my own one day, [ I was 4 and the kid i brought along with me was 3 yrs] , my school was a 5 minute walk away from home but the fact that i took responsibility for a younger kid was the problem... Then it was time to move again, this time Nagpur... I really started liking school there, it was set amidst the hills.. made some more new friends.. everytime leaving behind the old.. losing touch.... My first and last Holi was played here because after that i realisd i was allergic to those colours.... so there goes fun out of the window.. The final destination was Bangalore, i was still 6 yrs as i have always been 6 months younger to my class, well had an amazing time at cottons... made some great friends.... right from 2nd standard till 10th... time flew by.. a few more farewells... new friends to be made in puc.... luckily these friends lasted..... it was then fast forward to college... many memories... many friends.... and now suddenly I'm standing at the threshold of a new phase.. which is beckoning me but I simply can't let go of the past........ Now i guess i truly understand what the elders meant when they said "have fun and enjoy life.. you don't want to start working and have additional responsibilities" but i always thought they were kidding.. oh boy!! how wrong i was....
