Adjusting to life here and Contemplating four years here...

Life goes on they say. A new year has come but i still remain same as before. As if time is something definite whose passing from a year to a nother really has some physical significance. Nah..we celebrate New year just cause we want to celebrate. So after many Happy new years and Belated New yaes i'm back again where i was. Here. Trichy still sucks but its gonna be home for the next three and half years so better get use to it.
Viplove is studying for his IIT_JEE now finally. Kid has good brain. PATENTED to use his own word. I'm betting he makes it.


I went home recently. It felt good to be among my own people. To speak my own language and see faces that look similar to me. I really was tired of speaking Hindi. Nothing sucks more than tring to express yourself in a foreign tongue. Say what a mainland indian will, Hindi and all its culture will always remain foreign to us. C'mon guys we are different from you guys. Unity in Diversity works for Bengalis, Gujaratis,Punjabis,Tamils, etc etc because they share the same Indo-Aryan-Dravidian heritage. We i.e the mongoloid fringe are outside it. It's not like i have any problem with being in the Indian Union. But I will always feel a foreingner in my own country.
The best thing about home though was the food. I had all kinds of Non-veg. Fish, Chicken,Pork,Beef,Boar meat, River fish etc etc ...i loved it. I will definitely marry someone who can cook and she can't she has to learn it. From me.
