Yay!!!
back to the city after some 10 months.. rough months...
the journey was fine, if i exclude a perverted cab driver.... for a change i had all d meals during the train journey... thanks to Mom's call to R, who was accompanying me... to someone who has been travelling alone for d past 7 yrs, d company was a welcome change... i had someone to take care of me, albeit the scene he created wen i refused to eat more than 2 rotis... Meh!!!!
Had some fine ppl fron Srilanka in my compartment... the train was overflowing with them... one fine fellow mistook R as my husband... he he he... little did they know that R was returning from his engagement... :-P
am staying at ummm... errr.. ok i dunno... 10 months is too long a period i thnk.. i am not able to recognize most buildings and places... its rather confusing to me.. lots of roads have been changed to one way or have been a round about way! the flyovers are a welcome change.. but the heat is rather opressing!! and i seriously thought it was raining today morning, except it was just me sweating like a hippo....
As in R's word i was d live package he had to deliver to Wookie... :-D so i am tagging wookie everywr, including his Office.. :-P
we were at the Beach for a couple of hours yday... whew!! the salty air thru my hair and sand under my feet, sheesh i missed this bliss for too long.. no parks and malls can replace the felicity that a Beach provides me for free... after the dinner at Murugan Idli shop, Wookie's friend and R joined us for coffee at CCD... we were literally thrown out of the shop at midnight...
It was G's bday and the usual facial ceremony ensued at his place... only change the cake was rather too good and it ended up in G's Stomach instead of his face :-P i have to hunt for a gift now.. i had no prior info that it was G's bday...
the major F up thing is.. i am still in denial mode.. i am not able to absorb the language yet... true that tamil is my mother toungue.. but i have been out of it for 2 years now and i didnt have any major tamil speaking crowd at Indore... even my thought process had been adapted to Hindi for so long now... i am answering back in Hindi to every individual who talks to me now.... the hit was, i was left staring at my present landlord at 1 am today wen he asked if i needed Water!! WTF i cudnt reply to him and ultimately u used broken hindi to communicate the thing!! its gonna be a hell, i think! i want MOMMMY!!!!!!!! :-(
presently typing this from Wookie's office... think i ll be out with him tonite again... hope to have loads of fun...
P.S # Candy is having a field time.. it has started recognizing me and responds to my calls... it has finally adopted to my sleep routine...
Ouch my upset stomach, not able to gorge on South indian food.. i am in denial mode i say...

"look up! quickly look down" Repeat process thrice - Yaay you just said aama(yes) in tamil.
"look left, quickly look right" Repeat process thrice - You just said vendam(no) in tamil.
"scrunch eyebrows closely" - you just learnt to look confused.
These three things are good enough to survive in madras as long as you prefix "anna" with every strange man to talk to!(Works best with autowalas)
hehehe... so the bird is back to the nest eh? ... Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) will be so proud of the Hindi factor :-P
Steady and easy does it...
