I am happy. I totally am.
It's been some 2 years 9 months between the last post on the blog and this one... seems like an era has passed already... but since when did time tell any real story? Time passes by for that's the only thing it does well but what we make of it lies entirely in our hands. Looking back, not much has changed. I mean okay, a lot has happened in all this while... but I stick to what I said - Not much has changed... and how I love that! :)
Let's attempt a Total Recall. No harm in trying, right?
Where I was when I last blogged - I had completed my graduation and had said goodbye to college. Seemingly happy event which wasn't entirely that because the road ahead was foggy. I'd taken up this integrated MBA thing which I didn't want to pursue any longer but since the company that had offered me a job was yet to call me to start working for them ( and there was no surity if they'd call me anyway) so I was.. umm.. stuck? Let's just say I was not happy and that's not a good place to be.
What happened in the time from then to now - ..... *deep breath*.. *sigh*.. Lots! Wow. Why did I sign up for this? :) Even if I attempt a quick wrap, this can end up being looooooong. Ah well, here goes nothing :
#I dropped the idea of the aforementioned integrated MBA and took up CAT and all associated show-shah that comes with it. Dad wasn't happy with that, had a valid question - 'Why leave a degree that comes easy... when you're already performing so well?' Mom said I shouldn't do something that doesn't make me happy. She is adorable... - tum kuch bhi mat karo, chain se raho.. joining aayegi tab chale jana :D
#I was all set for my CAT and 2 weeks prior to that - my company asked me to join and start working. Couldn't have been times worse and now I faced the - CAT exams in Delhi vs Job in Bangalore dilemma. Chose the latter, for reasons unknown.
#My sister relocated to USA, came back only to get married and headed back to another city there. She's coming back again with my chocovanillapie nephewww who's 8 weeks old! Or young?! :) :*
#I relocated back in just 4 months haha! *devil smile* and have been here since... I loooooooove Delhi. I love Ma Pa and I love my best-in-the-world friends!
#I met new characters in office...different...fun and not so fun. Khair.
#Wrote the GMAT. Snailed with applications. Enjoyed the interviews. Hmm... that's that.
#I fell in love with Chai... over and over again! #stillgoingstrong
#I piled on kilos. Each month. So considering how long it has been... you should have a fair idea... *embarrassed*
#I missed my blog. The awesome peopless. The reading. The writing. The uber happiness!
Where I am now - At a happy place :) Have put in my papers, MBA kicks off next month and I'm so looking forward to laying my hands on the chocovanillapie *muahahaha* and yes.. life's pure bliss! :)
And now.. let's talk about Why I did not blog all this while - I was ( maybe ) going through a sad patch and since my blog's my happy place, I didn't feel like talking about things here. Then... I lost my blogspot credentials!! Yes it doesn't sound intelligent and who am I kidding, it is not! Par ab main kya karun.. sach to sach hai. *looking down making faces*
The good part is, I stumbled upon something yesterday night and just happened to find my way here and boy, was I excited! I saw a few emails from you guys and it was sooooo amazing. I can't even begin to tell you kitnaaaa amazing okay. I did respond to a few emails but put it off all the same because I thought I owed everyone an explanation.. my blog, the friends I made here and myself! Having done that now, I feel all gooood.
My blog popped up during conversations with friends and I always told them and myself that I'm going to go back and write again. There were very many times I thought of you guys.. and missed being here! Shatabdi, Urv, HP, Trinaa, Sachi, Divya, Nidhi, Mayz, Aayushi, Joiedevivre, Anurag, Pooja, Nikita, Hemu and... I know I'm gushing now! How are things with all of you?! I'm not even sure you guys are still blogging...I sure hope you are! It'll be good to listen from all you guys, just like old times!
Life's been pretty and awesome and yes, I'm happy.. to be here.
I'm all emotional typing away after years... I know I've rambled on for long. Before I say I'm done for today... want to share this mammoth lesson that I've learnt in this time..
Like I said earlier, I am happy. I couldn't have begun this post in a different manner or ended it otherwise.. for I am So.. So.. Happy! :)
