today after more than a month of living in this house i finally unpacked my last carton of books and clothes (digging out my sketchbook). i don't believe i have been so busy this last month. something this house has done to me. and thankfully it hasnt been work that i can accuse. my life is just jogging faster in the personal lane. people. books and outdoors. and food. thankfully again, for once the people are those that matter.
bombay wasn't so rude to me this time. except the one day when rain and the city coupled together to laugh at me as the locals in those locals squashed my skull making me think for a minute whether it was possible to kill this way.
i felt jubilant i could still be mistaken for a 20 yr old in college and that listlessness of hanging around campus felt like these years in between never happened. and i discovered things about the city. things that were an arm's reach away on my daily mundane route when i lived there but for which i had never bothered to get time.
sometimes you suddenly realise that you have just dropped 2-3 more days into that piggybank of life called 'happy days'. and that no matter what, this is yours forever.
