This new city. These new people.

So people everywhere around long for challenges and adventures mixed with the heady comination of fun and friends, don't they?
Let me tell you something, it's all that we could imagine and more.
So many many discoveries, like...I actually like brinjal! I mean what is that? After 23 years I discover I like brinjal! How pathetic is that, yet now it seems so nicely intriguing! And I've also discovered that I could actually take care of myself without my mommy spoon feeding me. Wise me! Oh look self confidence too!
This new city is compact and sometimes constricted yet there's a familiarity that I thought I'd never feel. The auto guys are just like my hometown yet the people are different. Jackpot? Living alone is lonely yet in all the loneliness there's a lot of....ahem! fun? Freefall, I think is the better word. Living alone is scary as hell yet thrilling till now...spoken too soon? Well, I hope not. Living alone is temporary, so better soak up the sunshine I'm guessing.
People, people! There's one who sooo loves her husband that she actually travels once every seven days to spend 48 hours with him, every week. Every week! Would I ever do that? Hmmm. Someone who is so fun and funny and intelligent and most importantly lusts after the perfect food. Friend for life! Someone who is weird, snobbish to the hilt, weird, funny in a weird way, mean and nice and intriguing.Weird! Someone who reminds me of Willy Wonka controlling a bunch of Ompa Loompas. One who can cook up a storm and deliver mouth watering treats in the middle of a work day. Lucky much :) One who is so nice and good. Period. One who speaks a zillion words in a single lunch hour and others who have these words in their hourly vocabulary...'re', 'kathe', 'your face', 'pachas tolah'. Ha!
People, people! i miss the three and more i left behind.
A huge proportion of the hip urban youth population on the indian map talk big and dream widely...so here I am. this my big talk and one portion of a tiny dream I had. Animated job :P, interesting people, a lil emptiness, dissappointments and some expectations and a new city. Not too bad for now.
