First post of this new year, and I have quite a bit to write. So let's go.
30th night, 31st, 1st and 2nd were the most perfect days of the so-called break. Long talks, laughter, moments -- paradise had come down for a short while.
The parting was as hard as the last time, but the good times always make up for everything, I guess.
Landing in Pune was pretty ok. The weather is drastically different from Delhi, and suddenly I was glad I could not carry the sweaters because of the limit. It would only have been a pain to manage.
I thought I was ready to be back, but somehow when I stepped into my room things didn't feel right. Very few people had returned by then, the corridor was empty, the silence was killing, and I was not happy. Far from it.
Spent the whole day today working on submissions, and kept feeling low until I reached the academic block. It was so good to see some of the people. I kinda missed them when I was home.
Really, this two lives business can get to you at times.
And after the socialising and the bad food at the mess, I did not feel like coming back to my room. So I killed more time at my neighbours'. Finally when I got back, I saw my roommate sitting by her table! Now she is a story I think I have never written about earlier. And maybe I should refrain because I don't know who might read this post and what stories might reach her. Let's just say we do manage to live peacefully.
Many people have put on weight, so I don't feel left out. But I really need to lose it. Of course, the efforts will only begin once everyone's home food is over. I can obviously not not have meetha that people's moms have sent. I cannot believe I didn't bring anything. I had plans of carrying an entire bag with only food stock in it. :-/
Classes begin tomorrow. There do not seem to be any stupid papers this term. It should be interesting. I just hope I get to deal with as few stupid teachers as possible.
Let's see. See you soon.
