Home Coming!!

It's almost two weeks now since I came back from Hyderabad to my native place,Saddi Delhi :)!!. Wanted to write this sooner, but I guess better late than never.

First thing first, I miss 'The City of  Nawabs" badly!!Not much of the place but more of my friends, the company I had there even at office, those who never made me feel away from home.And the boring Delhi office without much work is helping me in no way. Above all, the kind of people I have met here is really strange ( Already had my share of weird instances with colleagues). Anyhow I take a lot of time to gel up with new people, so I have  a long way to go before I begin to feel at home in terms of my Office. BTW, all the guys seems to having a  nice time.. since the new office seems to have a VERY GOOD gender ratio (Am I sounding a little insecure here ??!!:P) and that too Delhi crowd.. so they are the ones not complaining at all!!!
The first week, although , was pretty good, highlight being the Dinner Party at the TRIDENT!!(I am still child like excited when it comes to going to these big places and  later boosting it to friends:P!!)

Home front, its been great!! Ghar ka khana, having every meal with the family , time to time arguments and quarrels on stupid issues all part and parcel of the never-ending family fun!! Parents and Kavita seem super happy!! Kavita btw is more excited  to see all my stuff I had accumulated in Hyderabad  that arrived just two days back ( A major part of it consists of clothes, accessories and cosmetics) !!:P

And I am back to my school routine these days, waking up at 7 early in the morning and travelling through the Green line DTC buses to my Office in Gurgaon , coming back,  having dinner and going to bed at 11 at night. Strangely, I had no troubles switching my routine even  though  the Hyderabad one was almost opposite, sleeping at 3-4 am and walking up at 11am!!! That's actually the best part about Delhi , I never ever have to adjust to its lifestyle.. I am just so used to it :)!!
Apart from all this , I got some good news within days of my landing in Delhi. Got a few B-school calls , so weekends are again getting hectic. And sadly, that's also going to keep me away from meeting my school and college friends who I haven't seen in ages!!! :(

But I am going to make plans soon.Dying to have some college-type fun.Nevertheless, Delhi seems to be treating me well as of now... though Hyderabad will always be missed!!

Day 3 - Hyderabad Diaries

What a day !! Unbelievably amazing!
Today everything fell into place, everything happened as I had thought in mind. Awesome time with awesome friends.  Although beginning of the day was not at all same.

Woke up at 10 (strangely didn't hear any of the three alarms I had set for today). By the time I freshened up and reached downstairs, the breakfast was over. Shit, I was just late by 2-3 minutes. Hungry and disappointed, I came back to my room and called the room service for tea which I knew wouldn't come before half an hour. But  as soon as I put down mu receiver, my cell started ringing. It was from movers and packers and they had arrived at just the right time to spoil my morning tea. But, finally everything was packed and shipped and I had all the documents. When the guys left, I looked at the watch and it was already 12.30.
I knew I had to rush to get ready for the 1o'clock lunch. so had to forget everything about the breakfast and the tea.

Bas phir pahauche Lunch ke liye, We talked , laughed , ate. It was fun. Food was good and the fact that i was so hungry I didn't care much about the taste at that time :P!!
I got over with the lunch to go to another outing with another set of friends.This was one place I really wanted to see before leaving hyderabad . And finally we were on our way to Dhola-ri-Dhani , the rajasthai resort in Hyderabad.
The plans had got cancelled so many times that I had lost all hope that i ll be able to see that place before leaving and actually didn't do any efforts to organize the trip again. But thanks to some friends who got all the people together and organized for all the tickets and transport. And it actually turned out to be one of the best outings i have had so far here. Camel  ride, swings,Boating, Dandiya, Garba, Puppet show and what not. And even after a sad Welcome drink and humorless comedy show, We had a  blast out there.And I realized that its never the place but the company that matters if you want to enjoy your time.
One of the memorable days here for sure!! Love my friends for doing this for me !!:)
Last day at office tomorrow, hoping to get something good out of it !!Now really tired , time to doze.. catch you tomorrow here with a new post !!:)

Day 4 - Hyderabad Diaries

Delightful in one word.. Although I realized it only at the end of the day :)!!

All the troubles of yesterday got sorted out. Found my hard disk, got my stuff from friend's place, and now I don't give a damn about the project. My days in Hyderabad are now really less and I want to enjoy it.


Office was good as well. Didn't get time to sort out my project issues. But at the end I realized I have better things to think about and be happy for them rather then thinking and worrying about something that was not in my hand.

So ,in a happy mood , I left to meet some of my friends in other office and later to collect my stuff from friend's place. Thanks to a friend who helped to carry all those heavy cartons even though he was himself injured !! Finally with all the stuff with me, I started the big task of consolidating all the stuff I will ship it to Delhi through movers and packers. And almost done with it.


In the midst of all this ,today I actually started getting vibes from my friends and colleagues in office that a few days later I will be at some other place. No longer a cubicle will bear my name card. No longer the mails to Consulting-Hyderabad will reach my inbox. No longer I will be able to see my friends daily No longer I ll have them to guide me and make me calm down in my tense moments. No longer I will have there company for a cup of tea at Tapri or a plate of chat at cafeteria.

Day after tomorrow will be my last day at Hyderabad office. Don't know how will I fare through Delhi days but I will surely miss Hyderabad moments!! Though, I am positive that some of my friends will keep getting married and give me excuses to land here once in a while ;)!!

Now, tomorrow I have the whole day planned with friends. Will let you know how it went. Until then, Cheers:)!!

Day 5 - Hyderabad Diaries

Bad. Horrible. Disappointing!!
Gosh. wasn't expecting this. How wrong can things go in a single day.

1) Woke up late. That too followed by a bad breakfast!!
2) Realized I haven't seen my external disk for some time.Tried to search but in vain.Added it to the To-Do list after office.
3) Misunderstanding with  friends. Couldn't pick up my stuff from their place. Now shipping delayed. My things will reach Delhi super late.
4) Reached office to find my cubicle changed. All this shifting stuff just for two days. Total waste of time.
5) Just when I thought day was getting better, the big BOMB exploded. PM informed not getting rolled off the project. Damn one thing I was so happy about  was not happening!!!
6) Came home, Searched everything. No sign of the hard disk . No consolation.
7) Bad mood. Bad dinner.

By the end of it, I was all hyperactive and crazy.
It was only after some advice from family, some wise words from two of my friends, an hour of reading and some sketching.. I started to feel at ease. Now just hope to have a good sleep  before another messy day tomorrow!!

Till then, sleep tight :)!!

Exactly 365 days back....

...Just around this time... I was sitting in the train, Rajdhani to be precise, travelling alone for the first time.. devoid of sleep...contemplating how my new life in a new city would be.And today after a year of experiencing happiness, sadness, anger, frustration, jubilation and what not in Hyderabad, I think I have got more than what I expected. Don't know where the whole year just flew away..the last day in Delhi is still so livid in my memories...

I could see how reluctantly mumma packed my bags,trying to hide her emotions at the same time by being so excited for the new journey I was about to make. My dad who literally cannot live without me, who always felt more pain than myself when I got hurt, who woke up for early morning so that I won't feel lonely while studying for exams...for whom I will always be his "beta"..he put aside all his feeling to let me follow my  dreams!!
My one and only  lovely sis .. who was never my Di.. was always a buddy. We used to shout,scream,love, laugh,shop, hang out together.. she was my life and I was hers..That day she cried when I was packing my bags and at that moment I saw my strength wavering.

But today here I am, writing this post sitting in my room in Hyderabad with my mind fresh with those memories.
No doubt the wonderful time I have had in Hyderabad, the emotions I have experienced, the love,care and affection of friends I have got here is incomparable.But can never ever stop missing the wonderful life I left behind..Love u always MOM , DAD n SIS!!:)

From the End to the Beginning!!!

I realised that I have stayed away from my blog for too long. So many things have happened since I last wrote.And so much is still going on,which I want to write about.
But that isn't the only reason.

Being at a new place (Although its almost 8 months here) among new people(Even when I have grown close to a few of them), it's difficult to find a person with whom the words could come out without the effort!!


I figured out it was best to talk to my blog, for two simple reasons:-

1) It won't give me raised eyebrows ^ ^ while i talk about some things.
2) And It won't get to know more than what I say from my face...( both things my friends are good at!!!!)

So where should I start from???
The end of college life or the beginning of the office life ....

~~~From spending day and night doing vella panti on campus  to being irritated sitting without work in office
~~~Returning to the same chaotic but cheerful home after college to coming back from office to an empty silent house
~~~From desperately waiting for weekends to end  to go back to college friends.. to having "Thank God its Friday" feeling on almost all Fridays..
~~~From having mom-cooked Rajma Chawal  on Sunday Lunch to making Maggi dishearteningly or skipping lunch altogether

Do i miss my previous life ??
Well can't say about that since there are things that i have started to like...

--->Doing something without giving it too much a thought
--->Staying out of home late night
--->Watching senseless movies for a single reason of having nothing else to do
--->Going out to eat just to try out the new restaurant that has opened down the street( or actually  because I don't feel like cooking at home:P)
--->And saying 'Yes' for things i would have otherwise definitely said no to !!!

The two lives, contradicting though, have now become a part of me.
And I don't want to let go of any one of them.I guess I just want to have... "The Best of Both Worlds" !!!! :)
