The eventful month that was May

So ,my vacations are nearing a close now. It's been an eventful one and half months(stretching in2 june). As expected, it has revived my spirit and health, and was definitely what I needed after a hectic 6 months in gandhinagar. So how was it eventful ? Well, apart from my rejuvenatedgrowth of facial hair, I've been eating tons and tons of all the stuff that I missed back in Gandhinagar.

As usual, woke up everyday to the yells of my parents :P. But that's part of the expereince here :) The yells, the clatter in the kitchen, the malayalam songs blaring out from the TV, the little squabbles with my brother, the generation gap squabbles with my parents, the secret phone conversations with arya, the pure carefree outings with my friends all just add to and reiterate the feeling of being Home. And I love it !

But apart from all that, there are a few habits which I've picked up, a few which I dropped, a few which I revisited and dusted off and an angel who entered my life though it was only for a brief period of time .

First of all, everywhere I looked on the internet, there was one hot topic. How Twitter is a site with a difference and how it helps people in keeping track of the others. Be it MTV, Shashi Tharoor, Mallika Sherawat, Ashton Kutcher, John Mayer, everybody is loving it. So I decided to try it out. And voila, next thing you know, I got addicted :) It's really a site with a difference. Plain and simple layouts and comes across as a daily blog more than anything else. And what with my pure callousness when it comes to writing blogs, Twitter suited me just well. And I loved it. I recommend every netizen out there to try it. :)

The world around me had gone berserk in the last few months, and I was losing the plot. I would have nearly gone crazy had it not been for one person. Arya :) she was the one who always kept me grounded and the one who did all the backseat driving in my life :) and I'm extremely grateful to her. At the risk of sounding extremely corny, I am gonna say that my world revolves around her. And one thing she's been nagging me to do is to write a book. Although I dont consider myself a good author and despite the fact that I realise that even if I write a book, no decent book publishing company would give it a second read, I started writing for her. I know it will be nothing great, but I don't really give a rat's ass as to what the world thinks about it. But I just wanna make her happy :) This one's for you chom chom :) ( I like to let her think that she is in control :) )

Now coming to one of the most talked about decisions of mine to leave competitive CS. Well, talking about the marvel of Twitter, I won a SteelSeries headset thanks ot Twitter ! yep tat's rite. But then I was left wondering , what the hell would I do with a gaming headset now?! Pondering over my decision to quit cs for a couple of days, I decided to give it a re-think. I started playing cs again , and to my surprise my game felt a lot better than before. It was like I had never left. So I've decided to play again,but this time as a free agent. Time would tell where this leads me.

But most importantly, the incident that touched me the most was the life and death of Soha, my kitten. My brother had found it in the street, lying helpless, destitute. We decided to bring it home. Because there wasn't anyone else who had the time to manage her, I took care of her. She was literally my baby. There were times when I felt like a mother when she took her first nimble steps, times when I went mad when she cried and woke the house up and times I felt she was my very own flesh and blood. I pampered her, protected her and had dreams of her growing up to be a beautiful house-cat. But barely a week later, she died, lying at my very own feet. I would never forget her, her beady eyes, her soft paws and all the happiness she had brought me. As I keep saying to myself that she was too beautiful for this world , I still have a feeling of guilt . Was it something I did that caused her death? Was the milk I fed her the cause for her death? I guess I'll never know, but one thing I know for sure, this has killed my belief in God for good. R.I.P Soha.

Well I'm sorry I have to end it on a sad note, but that's about it folks. Well a new academic year awaits, I'm riding into the dark, into unforeseen circumstances with only a halo of love over me for protection.

Luv ya guys :)
