Blah Blah Blah

This is a totally random post because first I want to talk about how half the reason I came back into blogging was the need for attention from all the random people who used to read my blog earlier and then now I am going to tell you how much I miss the bandi wala near my old house in Vidyaranyapura (B'lore) who used to make amazing unique chats with things like nippat, peanuts, biscuits, kodbale, kurkure and what not.

Man! Is that like a long sentence or a long sentence! I have this habit of trying to put everything into one sentence. One of my friend's friend had a bad time figuring out what the heck I was trying to say over phone. Since it was the first time (and the last till now) we ever spoke to each other, he just politely (didn't seem to me then) asked me to repeat (twice) and then let it go (by just handing the phone over to my friend without any warning).

That's another habit of mine...the whole bracket thing to express my opinion about every word here and there in the long sentences, the whole thing just leading to an even more confusing piece of writing. Not to mention the growing physical length of these sentences owing to the ellipses...

See, there I go again!

Anyway, I didn't even remember to go there (to the chat place, I lost track when I re-read it too) this winter when I was back home. I loved my house there and my current house doesn't measure up to it in anyway. I wish we had stayed on there and I still had Minchu (my cat, ya I really don't know why I named him that, btw that means lightning) and the shoe flower tree and the small patch of lavender lilies in the driveway and the huge terrace (seriously, I hate US for not having houses with terrace) and the compound and the gate on which Minchu used to (cat)walk and the mesh on which passion fruit ivy grew. Not to mention the much calmer roads and easily accessible stores.

But, I definitely do not miss the lizards. If I have to be thankful for my new house, thats probably the only thing. I do not miss them falling on me or jumping out of the cloth I used to remove off my comp. The only person who enjoyed them was Minchu because he had loads of fun trying to chase them by running after them on the floor or trying to climb walls or even assume that he can fly up to the tube light to get one of them! Of course I had fun watching him perform his amazing (unachievable) feats and then look at me with innocent disappointed eyes.

I just realized that most of my posts are about the past and how much I miss certain things...sigh...have to learn to live in the present!!

And oh ya...about the first thing I started off about, what I wanted to say was that I am desperate, so please comment. (Atleast I'll know somebody noticed I am back)
