To nowhere and back

Is an interesting journey for those who posses:
a) A lack of purpose
b) An active imagination (six impossible things before brekkie, that sort of thing)
c) Are perpetually dazed and confused
d) Have a car

No i mean really, a car just puts my entire fricking existence in perspective.

The rains finally decided to make their presence felt. I think they magnify everything you feel by a factor of 1000. Like spurts of mega happiness, then bits of melancholy( a bit of a standard thing on days as sepia orange as these) swerving through giant mini-lake sized puddles and having random songs rips your heart out.
This is what the monsoon does to me.

This was one of the best first days of the rains ever.
Mostly due to the fact that we got to drive around aimlessly while the rains lashed the roads into a frenzy. Then we chanced upon a lake and stopped to stare at sheets of water ripping on its surface. Add coffee to all of that, and we were as close to nirvana as one can get when one is 21 and languishing in New Bombay.

Suchi and Himanshu, muchas gracias amigos :) One hell of an awesome day.

Then there's the bit about Visa forms, Nine Lives, A Suitable Boy, Glee and my Origami crane. Another post dudes. Soon

i still stand by the wish of jumpin in man. And you guys should have probably stopped me from consuming CCD itself. Brains still buzzing.
Also, dear lord, Im thankful that Im back home alive. It proves that you haven't given up on me.
But I'm more thankful about the the books.
Amen.
