Newcomers..

How does it feel to live in the same place for about a year and not knowing ur neighbors? Guess one of the t strange things that happened to me. Especially in a place like USA and more so because I could manage to befriend a few other guys who stays like 3 blocks away but not the people downstairs. On some unexpected occasion I happened to bump into my neighborhood and we had a tete-e-tete for about an hour without even realizing that I have a guest waiting for me at home.

In between my friend called me over to go out for dinner and I didn’t care to even make sure that I say a not- so-hurting ‘NO’ to him for denying his treat which occurs very occasionally…

I think it involves one more and more if we happen to realize the fact that we hail from the same place, speak the same language and have visited the same places.…Simple incidents but made me think for the day…

I learnt today that....

I was clicking through the chain of links from my cousin's blog and today to my surprise I found the blogs of 2 other cousins of mine .Its so nice to see so many in your family be part of this webworld sharing the trivial yet special occurances of their mundane life with which u remember the days u were all together..

At times it makes me think that I have just left lot of these important things and have come so far away for some thing that I dont really cherish either.Iam sure this kinda thoughts should be going on in everyone's mind who is away from home.It was so much fun to be among so many of our cousins,uncles and aunts and pulling each others legs and laughing out loud in happiness.One memorable such occasion to quote would be when I was among about 4 of my cousins during the period of my undergraduate admissions.It was so easy to tackle the tension and pain..Now is yet another bigger and more important turning point in my life to graduate and find a job ..I yearn to just drive down to one of those cousin's places to get myself out of this hangover..

Anyone who reads this is probably going to blame me for the turn of events.But nothing is felt without expereiencing it..Guess Iam blogging something small for a change..
