darwin/bombay- epilogue

hey..
i am back after a long break....however with a promise to keep you updated on my life...
for this article....i will talk about the city in which i have spent the most fast paced 5 months of my life...
i had guessed it the day i missed my bombay train from chennai 5 months back....that made me take a flight later though....waste of money and desperation were the initial retorts that i got when i thought of coming to this city of dreams.
life began taking turns the minute i put my foot at the chatrapati shivaji international airport. life revolved 360 degrees and i got i migraine attack. cant blame the pollution for that neither the screams...south india was worse in this regard. anyways, after an way expensive auto ride, it took me one hour to reach andheri as the auto driver, another (bihari) follower of Darwinism, survived his way and proved his tri-motor cycle to be the fittest..and after intense abuses and tantrums to the fellow travelers, we reached Neelkanth apartments,Saha road, andheri (W). in the absence of my friend, i found it amazing to pounce over his bed and sleep for 3 whole hours. i was enjoying every drop of rain falling down and really felt mumbai's monsoons washing off all my blues. i had a week's time for my college to begin, but what had begun already was my penance..! what followed were not only hurting but shocking as well...a break up, my visit back to vellore for the same, an amazing break up, a great break up party and a month long of phone calls ! college was taking turns, loops and whirlpools, but the road was never straight. managed to speak out my heart to few people out here and honestly had the realization that "we tend to find ourselves no matter wherever we go.."

i am still here. but for now, all i can say in this journey of a roller coster, i am losing myself, i am losing the skin of vellore, the heart of bhubaneswar and the nature of sourav. i am changing with days come and paths turn. i will pen down later when i have enough patience to put down my thoughts on paper.

--stay put.
