Desi memories from the firangi soil !

Its been almost about a month that i last contributed to this section and for reasons hard to know , its getting rather difficult to manage . I would , however, try my best to stay in touch and keep you all posted with new happenings.

It was an eventful day today and couldnt have asked for a better climax.Heading out towards the country-side was indeed so mesmerising that it has stocked me up with the energy to sustain the cheer for very many days to come. I cant help but wonder about how life has its uncanny way to get you things that you always wanted and whats strange is that when you have it , you stare at life in dis-belief . The larger-than-life picture that the Yash Chopra & Karan Johar painted in the minds of a common Indian will never be forgotten for they sparked a desire in me to live a life thats so close to serenity and nature. Todays trip towards the country-side reminded me of how much my heart and mind was indebted to Indian cinema for having created greater aspirations . The vast and never ending planes of Scotland would instantly have your mind recap the images of ShahRukh Khan driving swankiest of cars chasing elegant actresses.The shades of green and brown.The pine trees,the meadows and the rivers. Wow ! These hold joy thats much more than and beyond just their visual beauty ! I call it visual Orgasm !!

The climax was again a typical Bollywood inspired one - Bang,Action,Boom and satisfying end after a gruelling session ! Yes. I cooked my first dinner today. I know it sounds frivulous to most of you but it was quite an experience for me. You know eat-on-bed routines of your mothers affection can sometime mislead you to luxuries but whats more satisfying is the whole act of feeding yourself what you have made !! I made for myself Paneer ki Sabji (or thats what i like to call it !) and Parantha and chawal and they tasted better than the best of cuisines i ever tasted. The bottomline being - You enjoy everything but when you do things you enjoy them a little more and this little is the latent that has you cross the threshold of the abstract intercept between Joy and satisfaction.

Iam happy.

Well, I have been in constant touch with most of you and for the rest , Iam looking forward to hearing soon and often from you ! Its been months and the nostalgia has faded (or is fading !
). New life has begun and it certainly is exciting. It was nice to hear the diversity of pursuits among most of us From Business to Biochemistry to Brewing to MBA to Corporate career and what not. We certainly are going places and whats most exciting is that all of these are far away from each other !! Nice ! You know sometimes i sit down at night and remember those days of Seemab crying or Anita screaming or Merryn flying high on crumbling wings ! Well, those were the days and we will never get it back. 606 and its benches have left an indelible mark in my mind and these are one of those that are cherished !

Love you all
