so...why this sudden bout of nostalgia ? i am going home this weekend...both homes actually...
home 1:my biological home..where i stayed for 10 odd years..with mom,dad and sis...
and
home 2:IIT madras campus...where i stayed for just about 2 years...but...where i actually grew up and lived life...
almost a year in mumbai now...last few weekends have been awesome...esp. sundays...will post some photos once i buy a good camera(which could happen early next month..inshallah...) some of the most unusual places even a bombayite has only heard of and i have already been there ! starting to like this place..i need to get out of here soon !!
;-)
PS:and when ppl say "you should move on in life...u still talk of the same things...dream of the same place...i respond first with "_!_,thank you for your unsolicited opinion..."and then " i guess you are rite...but who gives a damn! it's my life !! " and then say "look, i was at room 103..now i have moved to apartment 104 ! i have moved on !"
