Almost a year from "home"

A couple of days more and it will be a year since i left 'home'. Yes, i did visit my college and hostel after that, but dint dare to go to my floor. I was scared it might erase the memory i have of it back when we used to occupy that floor.



Well, I dont think i have changed much. I still talk like a grad student, as I was told by my Mgr.

I do dress up more in salwars these days than jeans and t-shirt or tracks. But its still the trademark kurtas that are my favorite.



Overall i do have a huge social circle, lots of friends in office itself and a few outside because of college. I have not at all kept in touch with old friends. Somehow I just cant talk to them openly over the phone. It is so much better to just sit in someone s room and chat face to face.

And then there is a set of friends whom i had to stop calling to teach myself to move on with life. For how long will i keep calling them and cribbing to them.



I still get teased here too!! but yes, it is much easier to control than in college, or maybe i have just become shameless and not bothered.



It feels like i am at the shore, and people around me keep moving like waves. They come they go. Some return too, but with feeble effect. Everyone has an ambition , a dream towards which they are moving.
Where is mine?
Was it ever there?
Why am I still at the shore?
