The other end of the trip - B'lore beats

Bangalore, late mornings, early swim, traffic + dust storms, the santro , helmet, no cooking, my darling nephew , new friends(not to forget friends made whilst stuck in traffic), Skittles, slashing rains, 730, essays, WWE, Coffee with Karan, standing on the seat and blowing the candles to my birthday cake with the hosts dancing around the table, sans phone, the Railway station, a lost jacket, a series of great cricket matches... Shantaram...Inspired !!

Despite the changed realities, i yearn to be back at chennai, to sleep in my room, to be able to be with my gparents who always greet me and treat me like I just got back from the USA, to be able to meet people whom I've known for something of a lifetime...

The corniest of things to say .. home sweet home ...Nothing beats being there.

NONSENSE was once sense to them when we were children. If our once truly purely non-sensical activities were non-sense to them we would not have understood "LOVE". Its just that they feel so excited to meet their proof of existence, after a long time of being geographically asunder. One who truly loves his parents/elders wudnt call it so. I can see, still so many kids/grown ups yearning for Parental Love these days while some call it a 'Non-sense'. When you are a begetter, seeing ur kid after a very long time.. probably your kid shouldnt call it a 'SENTI - NONSENSE'.. As the saying goes, 'As you sow, so it reaps'.. All the best

Home is always sweet. I am sure you will defenitely love Bangalore as much as you love Chennai.

I will not be surprised if Bangalore becomes your new sweet home. Is it already?

@PavitrPrem : Bangalore is my new home..and i dint have much of adjusting to do cos i live with my sis... but it all feels temporary.. like i'm on this trip and im soon gonna head back to chennai... strange stuff..
