Railway stations are wondrous places, especially when they are deserted in the middle of night (even more so when they give you free wifi, and an always open starbucks). This post isnt about railway stations, or anything in particular for that matter - I just have a few hours to kill before my early morning train back home, also gmail is being increasingly annoying and lonely, so im forcing myself to stay away(atleast for now). I just ended a very hurriedly trip to philadelphia, which turned out to be (rather suprisingly) quite awesome. Turns out, I'm not quite as done with this country as I was starting to believe.
Since I'm still trying out blogging as a new experiment (I believe I missed the whole 'blogging is cool' revolution by about half a decade, but knowing me I'm not really suprised)- I'm going to try and put stuff here, I'd want to remind myself of in a couple of years. That ofcourse may not happen, and this may well become nothing but another pointless bblog which is just fun for other people to read, but we shall see.
One thing that these five months have given me is,probably for the first time ever, the freedom to choose my company entirely. O social obligations, only those that I deem necessary -zero social interaction too, if thats what I want. I may not be able to do this in chandigarh, and it is totally understandabe since I've lived half my life in that city - but my current state I neither hate or love as much as I thought i would. That does sound like a rubbish conclusion to draw, but to me is quite startling (honestly is).
Also porcupine tree is the worst music choice in a bad mood, and I may be going to an Iron Maiden, Dream Theatre concert next month (already cant wait)
And I cant really believe i forgot to to mention New York when I was rambling on about stuff I shouldnt forget. I would give anything to live in that city for a year, I already know some people are - they have no idea how luck they are :)

I just thought the time and location looked quite cool there at the end :)

I am sure no one will read this, which is probably the only reason I'm posting at all.
I have been on the other side of the world for 3 months now (slightly more perhaps..), and have learned a few things I know for a fact I will lose the moment I step back onto familiar shores - this is just my attempt at holding on to it while i still can.
But first of all, for the record 'I miss Momo's' a heck of a lot, and must apologize to all of those people i have made fun of for that exact statement over the course of the last year. I also miss Chandigarh, our very own little toy city, where we know we are sheltered, protected and clueless about the outside world - but very gladly so :).
As I grow older, which very regretfully - I do too ( i have deluded myself over this for a very long time, excuse the rather obvious epiphany), it becomes enormously hard to make the kind of friends I'd like to, which is all the more reason for me to treasure the ones I have.
I am a ridiculously lucky person, that is the only reason for most of the things i have done in my 3 years in college, nothing but the fortune of being in the right place at the right time - everyone has their talents, everyone also battles with the same 50% chance of everything going horribly wrong.
I still hate blogging and Photography, but knowing full well that I too am going to end up a nostalgic 'has - been' in the distant future, I'm going to make a conscious effort to change that in whatever time i have left here, memories aren't as over-rated as I've always believed them to be :).
I have experimented with narcotics and alcohol (this is an open admission to myself), yet thankfully, my opinion about them remains the same it was half a year ago.
I had a 20th Birthday that i should remember for all times to come.
I look rather good in long hair, and must keep them
My secret ambition in life is to be a songwriter, not a researcher,bureaucrat or business tycoon (all things i have considered at some time). Music means more to me than most things in the world, and I am really sorry for all the people ive bored on various messengers with my musical stories (both back home and here in America)
I am struggling to stay afloat in this new and interesting world, but enjoying every moment of it.
