Settled in!!!

Over the last three months, it's unbelievable how much has happened to me.. I moved from a safe, secure city where I was surrounded y relatives to a place where i barely knew a handful of people. I learnt to live on my own. I learnt that freedom was not strictly a good thing..

I joined a new college where I was one of the unknown faces in the crowd again. I learnt to make new friends again. And I wondered why I was worried about it cos I found it so easy to make friends. I found that some good had come out of teachers keeping our noses to the grind at the previous college, cos I had actually heard of Klee and Kandinsky's experiment when the rest of the class was hearing it for the first time in social psychology class..

I found that I can actually cook a whole range of dishes and that I was not as lazy as I thought. I also learnt that I was cleaner than I thought myself to be and I Could actually manage a house pretty well. I found that living with someone is so different from actually just being really good friends and seeing each other for about 6 hours a day. I learnt that whatever happens, true friendship always prevails and issues like some guy cant actually come between good friends.

I realized that sometimes we are so dumb and dont c things that are right in front of us. I hit myself a million times for wasting weeks, months and maybe years when something that has come to mean so much to me was actually so close by. I realized that I have important decisions to make and now that I think of myself as "grown - up", I actually have to start making most of those decisions on my own.

Last nite as i lay on my bed I realized that experiences change a man.... Each new place, each new person, each new day teaches you something new. Some lessons I really dint wana learn. But well, maybe, its better I learn it now...

I made a whole bunch of new friends and I am so happy that I met them. Cos as much as I miss my previous college and friends, these new ones are the ones who have helped me laugh away the stress of post grad courses and who have listened to my nutty philosophy of life and who laugh at my dumb jokes and make me laugh at theirs...
