Rambler's back
Well, I guess I have proved beyond doubt that I am a lazy bum..2 entries and then a long silence…ofcourse I am just assuming that I have a large set of readers…talk about wishful thinking…
The main purpose of this blog was and hopefully still is, a journal..a record of my day to day life..especially since I am in India right now for vacation..I thought it would make interesting reading, if not for others, atleast to myself, later when I am back into the monotony of routine work life..I don’t know if anyone has tried this, but reading old letters and correspondence is really interesting and brings back a lot of memories…Six years ago, when I was in Ahmedabad to undergo my architectural internship, when I was bitten by the letter bug…I wrote countless number of letters to my friends, all doing training in different parts of India..ofcourse that was before I was infected with the ‘networm. Some of my friends are hoarders, Padma being the main one among them. She probably has letters dating from primary school…well anyway the point is that during our final year in college, I came across a couple of my letters to her during our training period..well that was a novel experience going through them, because each of them explained in detail a week or so of my time in Ahmedabad, things that I had long forgotten…well if 2 years can make so much of a difference what would 10, maybe 15, 20, I daren’t think of longer, years do?? Sad to say though, I never keep any letters, I get into this spring cleaning mood occasionally and I throw out all letters, bills etc..my purse is the only place that I fail to tidy up and empty off old stuff…reading this one would think that I am a neat freak, I am not, in fact, I am just the opposite. The point is that I wouldn’t have had to get into this spring cleaning mode if I was a basically neat person to start with, I have an almost irritating habit of misplacing and displacing things, and well the legendary laziness does pop up occasionally and that too most of the time right in the middle of a cleaning spree..
Do you think I keep jumping off topics at a tangent…from one topic to the other at random?? Well then….why do you think this is called my ramblings and scramblings???
Next post onwards I hope to give a more detailed account of my vacation...as a starter I would like to inform everyone that my brother in law, Praveen Mangalath gave up his single status as of yesterday...theres a new addition in the family...she is Sajila, a journalist based in Dubai, a very sweet gal...and hopefully a chance for me to move slightly out of focus in the eyes of neighbours and friends of the family.....
