ThoughtfulChaos

Monday morning. Lots of work at office and here I am sitting at home blogging and checking my email. Am actually waiting for roomies to get ready since we try and go together to office to cut down on the auto-rickshaw fare.

It is damn hot here in Delhi. The rains in Ahmedabad are nothing compared to those in Kerala. And the rains in Delhi are nothing compared to those in Ahmedabad. Not even once, in Delhi, have I felt that monsoons had come. The rains come and go like screensavers, by the time you realise that it is raining it is gone.

Life has been as usual lately. Home-office-home routine is boring the hell out of me. Maybe it is a quarter life crisis (term stolen from Prashant). I feel that some of my friends are also going through the same phase in life I feel. Pratik keeps insisting that I move to Bangalore so that we can freak out together. And I keep telling him to come to Delhi!

The last couple of months have been very good for rediscovering long-lost friends and getting back in touch with some old friends. We managed to retrace Abhishek, Vinu and Meha, all Prakash oldies. I have also been talking to most of my friends more often lately.

Suman is in India. Couple of weeks back when I had gone to Ahmedabad around Independence day we freaked out like anything. Bantu had also come down from Bangalore and Mona was already there in Ahmedabad. It was like old times when we would all just sit down together and talk till kingdom come. In the afternoon we went to Cafe Upper Crust on University Road. I knew that CUC had very good cakes and pastries but I did not knew they also served excellent non-veg. Independence day eve we had a night-out at Bantu's place and needless to say most of it was spent talking into the wee hours of the morning. Guess what? We called up our Australia gang and talked to Sanket and Gunjan, everybody else had left for work. Actually we sang the national anthem at the top of our voices! Nice way to celebrate I-Day!

Yesterday evening I had a nice time with Sriram (a.k.a Shiru). We were just roaming around in Delhi and eventually ended up at Priya for dinner. We had out dinner at a cool but damn expensive place called Opus. After ages I rode a bike and that too a Thunderbird (my first time). Damn good bike, heavy, powerful and fast. I had a tough time with the gears (bit different from other bikes) but it was a nice riding a bike after such a long time. It has almost made me want to go out and buy a bike right now.

Chalo that's all for now. Looks like I will have to go and prod my roomies to hurry up. See you later.
