A really happy beginning it s been.. After ages, yesterday I woke up early in the morning ,that is, at 8 .. coz we'd to wind up the whole house in a day.. we'd a truck that 'd take 2-3 rounds, a couple of cars that'd take the too precious or too insignificant or too brittle the stuff..
I caught a really bad cold coz of all the dust and the moving.. though..
It s been a feeling really warm, happy and memorable.. A feeling I'll never forget.. Lots of things did happen .. which made me extremely joyful.. coz I really realised how loved we all are.. by our family, our near & dear!! Stuff is a lil too personal to be posted here, but it s something I'd love to share with who al I meet.. !!
But the end did leave a bit of sour moment too, coz of the poky nose uncle there.. well too much of a poky nose! huh..So that one moment took off all the lil bit attachment that I'd with poky noses... Its perhaps good-riddance, if I am allowed to be rude!Hence, no sadness :)
But the house will surely be treasured tucked away in memories, not becoz of the people around, but the wonderful views from everywhere and the rockin time I mostly had there!!
Ok Enter!
New wonderful home!! :) Not for a moment do I regret being here... its something worth..
worth the wait, worth the distance, worth all the time.. Its lovely! Though we are still unpackin, I Dont have internet there neitehr the comp is assembled yet.. but I just felt like stil writin the blog, lest I lose the feeling!! have unpacked my clothes et al, the books NO.. but would be doing more today.. A funny thing for the day :I lost my way , when I was coming to college.. but it helped me discover a route which is 7 mins of drive to FR.. ! :P
So cool..
Its all my own!!
Cheerios..

The End of The Beginning
This title is significant to me, because of MagBoard reasons, but now its become more important because of a very huge reason.. where it makes so much more sense, and so much more of a meaning!
Its about my home... the home I am leaving, for MY Home! :) .. But this was where I have been.. since I have been in Chandigarh.. its a home I love.. I place I cherish more and more.. with each passing minute now!
Its my last night out here.. I dont feel like sleeping.. I just want to sit around, absorb it all.. the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the bright and the mad... all moments that I've had..
Here in this house..!
Its not that I am not happy..I am soo excited to finally go to the dream house.. the place I adore.. but obviously, you get attached to where you live.. but changes are important and you gotta move on.. coz there's good in every situation..and must be loads of it in this one too!!
How did I spend my last day here? The feeling just shrunk in.. ya, that we ARE leaving.. the day has come.. the time has arrived... The first half of the day, I was at an old age home, a Rotaract initiative.. which touched me.. more than any other project.. to give smiles to some elderly and receive lots of blessings from them in return! What could be better,... for the start of a new journey!
Then I did some packing.. mostly my stuff.. things I knew where to keep, where to arrange.. bla bla bla.. I realised there's SO much of stuff lyin all over the place that we nevr happened to notice! Like I found so many shopping bills, tags, visiting cards, stick notes in my almirah.. Too much of Kapsons, Lifestyle, Fabindia.. residing in my cupboard al this while.. !!
My hands got all black then! :D
Hehe..
I had a weird thought of spending the evening alone.. just drive on these roads perhaps for the last time when you could own them.. see those people whom you always took for granted.. or whm you never happened to notice perhaps.. like the Bunty bhaiya, the cell phone recharge guy.. I must have made him pretty rich.. by my too-often recharges.. STD calls ARE expensive,dude!... So perhaps thinkin that I dunno when ll I get to see him next.. I got a big recharge this time.. instead of the usual 100 bucks thing..
the next stop had to be the temple.. one place I 'd loved to visit a lot.. Its a temple with lots of magic.. its so welcoming there.. warm and cozy.. friendly serene faces all around.. I have visited the temple quite a bit in all these years.. I love it there.. so luckily the arti was going on.. I stay'd there for sometime.. and ..I'd the Shiv mishthan bhandar ke gol gappe.. love them.. relished them..savored them... then mum was calling.. worried at my unusual disappearing from home..
She want'd me to get atta from Sec 8 market... a really really favorite hang-out of mine.. Its jus 5 mins drive from my now-house.... and its got a lively happening feel to it.. its an inner market.. with some handloom shops, some shoe shops.. but pretty chic stuff everywhere.. I love to shop here.. and then there's my fave Degchi's.. where I can gulp huge amts. of veg. sweet corn soup all the time.. served piping hot! and thats what I did..
Was jus graspin in all those things.. Its not that I am not coming back ever.. I am jus goin 20 kms away from where I am.. but perhaps, its jus a feeling.. that is..
inexplicable!!
But I know its never going to be the same again!!
Sigh.. I could go on forever about this.. but the point is.. its all for the good! So I am happy.. Jus want to hope and pray that it all remains happy,safe and sound!
God Bless you and us :) :P
Ya, It is the End of the Beginning.. the journey NOW begins!! Cheers~

What A Day-What A Week-What A Month..
Was wondering what could the title be of this blog, I am just writing coz too much is happening and too much is going on and I am being wicked and selfish and angelic and generous and lazy and bla bla bla!
A Better title could be 'The Month of Change' !
Yup it is.. We are shifting to our home. The work is on in full swing, I am not too involved in the mazdoori and dehaadi part, but surely in what I like the best.. Interiors, Furniture, Upholstery, Pictures and Paintings... I'm loving it!
Its is exciting, the thought of finally having a room entirely to your self first time in 21 years, to get the car forever, to be able to decorate the room just the way you want it to be , from the color of the paint to the lamp shades to the furniture to the curtains.. in my case, I even got to choose between two rooms and the one I chose has two french windows, one of which opens to a lush green park and if you see for a lil longer, you ll spot the hills behind, the other opens to the front lawn of the house, where mom has some really well-manicured garden!
So basically, more on this when I finally am there so I can tell you how it feels to live in such a big house.. hehe!! :)
But the sad part is leaving Sector 18. The heart of Chandigarh( The place I adore!) to move to a place in the end of the tri-city!
I will miss KFC, Subway, Sukna Lake , British Library, Browser, Rotary house... places I could just walk down to! I will miss waking up 20 mins before the 9'0' clock lecture and still be there just 5 mins after it begins! I Will miss walking down to 17 too, or when friends would just drop in coz they were passing by and wanted to have maggi or water or to pee or say Hi or just randomly! Heehee.. somethings I do really I took for granted but I'd still cherish..
Things I love there include my bedroom, the view from every place , the romantic solitude of that place, the proximity from FR, Army Club, golf club .. lol ! and ya, am still discovering more and more stuff.. I am happy, coz I like change.. I like moving on.. and not being stagnantly stuck @ one place.. so that s what enthuses me!
So all set . .. this is my last week in here.. so you want to visit me, just drop by :) and have maggi.. we ll also take a walk in the park in front of my house.. ya, I love my balcony here.. I love the view of the palms from the drawing room.. I love the view from my bedroom's window here! Hmm... well I got my advanced data base design paper @ 9 30 morning and I still got a good 70 pages to study.. and a hot water head bath to take too.. so I better push off now..
and The day was tiring/ hectic/ disappointing/ complicated ... the big fight for the first and last time with Vanita ended @ night @ 11 30.. two billis fighting, and a bandar suljhao'd it :) I love you people muaaah muaaah muaaaah!
I actually have so much more to tell.. but I must study.. ya, I did go to the national book fair, bought eight books.. wow!! .. aint' it? and by chance, all of them by indian authors.. and I 've already read Jhumpa Lahiri s Interpreter of Maladies... short stories.. interesting is what I ll say right now.. baaki details later!! have fun..
Well thats a pic of Cafe Rock, Noida.. a very small booth with a coolly done up basement.. owned by a 20-yr old guy.. the place serves awesome pasta! Check it out when you go to Noida.. jus next to Amity B-school !! Chalo ciao ! Goodnite!
