The feel of India

I landed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi on the 24th November 2009. The first step that I took into my country after almost a year is one I can never forget. I had never been out for so long and I couldn't wait to smell India( Our country has its own smell which seems so pure), see Indian faces around me and also to hear people talk in Hindi.

I had been waiting to return ever since I stepped out of the country and when the time was approaching I was anxious. I would wonder, how would it feel to be back?How will the people be there?Will I be bombarded with questions? And countless other questions. This was about two weeks before the 24th. All of it disappeared as soon as I came out of the airport and saw my country.

My Brother in Law was the first person I saw,then chintu bhaiya and DD the emotion is unexplainable.

I had been planning to eat kebabs, dal and roti fo a long time and thats what I did first.

the vacation started the way I had thought it would be.its was simply amazing.

Its me....And....A lot....

I have let her down again.I know its not the last time too.It just happens and sometimes I want it to.You know what,right?I don't want to hurt anyone and definitely not her.But its Shail jalan and when its me I am what i am.Their are certain things that I don't like to let go of and I hope you understand what they are.

I don't know why am i so stuck up with certain things.I want to move but i can't stop myself from not moving.I have nothing in me but I have a lot.I am single faceted but not.Its complicated yeah!!!

I don't want to apologise as it is of no use and I know you don't want to hear it.Shail Jalan will be this way until she outgrows it.

CHELA 1, CHELA 2, BOSS

It was not the perfect reunion...but it was good...
We didn't really recreate any of those moments...but still it was good....
When we met on the 22nd morning..it was total bawal...it is always good to meet sonal..she is so excited to meet...didn't really spend much time then as she was practicing for the sangeet...
On the 22nd evening...after the sangeet...we were just sitting..not really talking much...but had a nice time...making fun of "FIND ME".
In these three days we did get some time to just sit and talk...it was on the night after the wedding but then deepa as usual fell asleep....then it was sonal's turn...I tried to wake her up like I did when deepa came to stay over the day before...but all in vain..
Altogether it was a good three days...I hope we do meet again some time in the near future...and get time to talk about it all...

Just....

The previous week was dedicated to my mom...after Priya and mimi went back I was feeling quite lonely...but the week has passed by quite well...Watched quite a few movies ..all with my mom...met cousins...and of course ...watched the Indian Cricket team thrash England..It was the highlight of the week...For a cricket fanatic like me...

My parents are going on a twenty day tour to the South India...they leave on the 25th of this month...i am in two minds about my stay ...I want them to see me off....but i don't want to stay here till the 15th too...I really don't know what am I going to do all alone...

Deepa was here for the weekend..and it was good fun...all we did the whole weekend was ...played Ludo...It reminded us of school.....and she behaved as if we are still there...she desperately wanted to win...and though she managed to by the end...after we played almost ten games...might not sound as funny as it was....

Its the beginning of the last week before my parents go.....I don't know whether to be excited about Sonal coming here or think about how thigs will be managed when my parents will not be here...anyway..I believe that whatever happens happens for the good...and if I have to in their absence ..SO BE IT!!!

THE REUNION

I am sitting at home right...with my Chela 1... Boss-Shail, Chela 1-Deepa, Chela 2-Sonal..thats what we called each other in school...rather they named me boss..which i hardly was...basically we were the Maths Champions in the Tenth standard in school....We three just formed the perfect team...little did we know that maths would be so much of fun...atleast I didn't think that it would be like another chapter in my school..that i would never forget..the last year in school was the most rocking...but this simply stands out...

Now after almost three years we are going to relive those moments without the maths books..thankfully....Rest I would write after..The reunion....

Priyu

She was again here ....I am really glad that you were here priya...worte that line just to irritate you....
Was here for about eight days...this girl is really a sweetheart..I hope she doesn't get into trouble this semester...She has bunked to much...
anyway our days were just rocking...it was the best farewell i could have thought of....the week i couldn't even have imagined before leaving the country...every evening it was the same routine...and even the nights..I just can't stay awake when she is around....I don't know what exactly the problem..May be we have nothing to talk..he he!!!
I will miss her a lot ...Philippines is too far for her to come else it wouldnt be long before i would here that Shail I am coming to Manila...Priya you are my dearest friend...

My Goddess

It was on the 3rd evening..that she called us and said that i am coming...Priya and me were thinking that she might not...and then we decided to give her a call..and I really thank Priya that she decided to call...else MIMI NABAM...would have reached cal and then called and said-"Shail I am here"....
She was here for three days ...what fun those were...I am missing her so much...I don't want to write any details right now..as I am really missing her...
Mimi I hope you get well soon....I love you..The eight year bond is special...
