...Pensieve...

July 2009… It has been an year of my dear dear Grandma’s departure to the abode of GOD…and I m missing her since day 1… I had been with her since my birth…and have always experienced her as a power packed personality I must say… Let me tell you friends…she, I believe, was ahead of her times…times when parents never sent their girls to schools, she studied…times when single mothers couldn’t manage households, she did it with the best upbringing of her kids…times when love marriages where considered not that good, she allowed two successful wedlock in the family…such was her strong, exuberant persona…I bet it’s coz of her we are with the time at least… On a personal note…I shared a mixed relation with her…some real sweet memories down the lane…I always had kinda small clashes with her…the most annoying thing which she did was watching those daily soaps…and then I played my part of making remarks on each character and the series…which in turn annoyed her…bingo!!!...and the most lovi...

I have exams every six months…and the period just prior to it is awful for all the normal students like “me”… At the start of the semester, I am always relaxed and chillaxed thinking “Exams khatam…chalo kuch din books ki shakal bhi nahi dekhna hai….yippeee…” but this wonderful ecstatic feeling doesn’t stay for long…i.e. this period ends in whiskers…and again exams are back…and with a bang for sure…banging my head…and then those merry words change to “Yaar abhi to exam khatam hui thi….fir se????” Overcoming the inertia somehow, I start dating my subject books (that almost gives the feeling to me)…n trust me these dates are horrible at the start…getting acquainted with the study thing after a long long gap (which actually seems short) is very distressing… After few sessions of knowing each other…we get accustomed to spend more and more time with each other though the emotions are still hard…and as the exams near…as if it’s time to get committed…I start showing the love for each of ...

Back in Sewagram…I was so exhausted…of all the heat and the routine college times…every 6 months I need a break from the monotonous life I have…and then a city which changes lives of many…did provide me that much needed change…hence…Mumbai is not just that…but M “UMMM” BAI from now on for me… Since I couldn’t go to MEDICON this time…I had to get out of Vidarbha…coz that’s the one place I keep going to and fro (Of course I love it) …Nagpur-Sewagram-Nagpur…still had to go on a new route…and then Mumbai is that one safe route for me…easy and approachable…importantly…I knew dad will send me there…so decided on coming here…and indeed…barring the journey of the start…all the trip has been just UMMMM!!! (I mean that to be lovely)… Though I have been to Mumbai many a times…this was different…I am always accompanied by someone…but this time I was all alone…traversing this big city alone…plus to add on…I also went to Pune…and that was one city I had never been to…so kinda adventurous outing...
