Just!

A week more in Hyderabad which will be spent staring at some non earthly numbers on the Balance Sheet of some company which I didn’t know ever existed. Am I glad the two month stay is over? Yes, I am! I definitely am. There are a lot of things I am looking forward to after Hyderabad. But without doubt this city has taught me a lot. Every new place does. Every new situation does. I had a lot of fun. In fact, I explored this city with people I hardly know or rather didn’t know at all. Strange yes but the bottom line is, I enjoyed myself.

I have cribbed away in glory about going back home and a few friends have been sweet enough to tolerate my cribbing every time. I have done random things like picking up my bags and sitting in a bus to Bangalore, having a blast in the weekend and coming back. I have stayed up till 4 am talking to people online or on the phone and reaching office ‘almost’ on time next morning. I have observed people around, developed opinions, changed opinions and then concluded I don’t care and I should have stopped at the observation stage. I have sat in office till 2 am during summer internship (I wish I had not. At least I would have had a record of leaving office on the same day!!)

I have already called up Mommy and told her what I want to eat when I reach home in 6 days! Seriously, there is no place better than home. After staying away from home for exactly a year now (joined MBA on 1st June last year), I can definitely say- The comfort which was once a habit, is now a luxury. And the worst feeling is knowing that it will be a luxury forever now. But I am really going to make the most of the longest stay at home in the last year which starts next weekend (2 weeks!!!). My plans for the vacation- Sleep, Eat, Talk to Mom, Shop, Go out with Bhai, Read…. Sleep, Eat……………………and that’s how the stay is going to end. Or rather that is how I want it to end.

It’s has become a cyclical process…home….away from home….then home….then run away from it. But staying away is an experience in itself! J Mwah! I love everything around right now!
