It RAINED. And even though I live on the main road in urban jungle, I could smell that smell, the smell of freshly rained-on mud. Bliss.

Of course, it wasn't so blissy when I had to go out and the rain got at my feet and it was all icky and muddy, no, that part I'm not used to. Yet. It will change, I guess.
I'm loving this wonderful breeze though.

Things are looking up, I'm super-psyched about the BA at Jai Hind, because I have THE best subjects. English, french, psych, Literature, Philosophy. There is nothing there that I don't want. Nothing at all.

My best friend is back in Bombay, which means that I once again have to carefully watch my words for latent innuendo. Sigh. Can never drop my guard with him around.
The pissing off part is his Vodafone numbers been deactivated and I'm supposed to meet him today. Sigh.

So yes, life is definitely in an upward direction now....

Mom says I'm much calmer than I was when she first got here. Maybe I am, I suppose. I've been through a lot in that month I was alone here, learnt a lot. And come out a little wiser. And, well, happy, I guess. I'm 17 and right now it fels like I'm on a cliff with the whole world in front of me. I have no stories to tell...yet.

But I will soon have them.

We were invited to dinner by dad's IIT friends yesterday night, and from yesterdays conversations I conclude thus : All IITians have the same sense of humor. Sigh. And it IS hereditary.

Mystique,

Nice to know you are relaxed now. You will get used to what is MUMBAI. You are at age when you can make or mar your future. Have fun but do concentrate fully on studies and other activities which are going to be your support in future life. You have a very good combination of subjects. I am sure you will do full justice.

Take care

fresh rain is always amazing, and can I just say that Im completely jealous that you got some while we sit here in delhi baking away :D

sounds like you have the most awesome subjects too - though I could live without the french there.. good to hear you're finding yourself and getting things together and all, and just so you know: you may be only 17 but there are always stories to tell, its just a matter of seeing them yourself... often we overlook a lot of things because its us and not someone else, you dont notice yourself, you know?
take care..

cheers..
