Back to Work

Second post after coming home. Lots of things had to be done. First, was to mentally win my room back from my Mom. She had kept it clean (in her perspective) and ready for me except that I could not find anything I wanted without searching for it for at least half an hour. She had messed up my order in a really deep way that I have no idea how the room looked like when I was a living member in it. I have a doubt that my Mom even shifted a wall poster.

Any way, Lots of things that I used to use regularly had stopped working; my lap top, my scooter etc. I had ordered a hell lot of books when I was not at home, thinking that I'd read all of'em when I get home. But, my easy chair was out in the balcony all these 7 months and the cloth became too damp and rough which made the chair unusable till yesterday.

I repaired my scooter (even changed the battery) and laptop (which was hanging every other second) and I can say 'good-bye' to Mom's desktop.

My office-going days are gonna start from Monday onwards and I am gonna blend into the Bangalore crowd soon.
So, I hope for something to post when I finally get some time to use the balcony. After all, it's called Balcony Viewpoints!

I haven't been blogging for a while and I had almost forgotten that I had a blog. I stayed away from all these things for almost half an year or more and when I get back home, I find myself too tired to be part of anything. I don't keep track of my friends because of my nearly zero Facebook time and I have no idea what's even happening in the country because I don't get to read newspapers. Someone would now think that the Cellular Jail has been reopened and I have been thrown inside one of those cells! To confess, my situation is not so different.

Since I work in the film industry, I get to go to places and meet people a lot and be creative and all... but every other little thing has to be forgotten most of the times, to do this properly. The only person I have a regular contact is my mom and she understands my time schedule and probably just for that she learned the most difficult art of texting!

When I go home for short intervals, I make plans to sit in front of Facebook and check on everybody, write long mails to Mr. M, Ms. S, Mr. S, Ms. J, watch a full ODI by munching chips and eating Ice Cream, going for a walk... etc. Life was much better when I was in the less creative job and I could remember things like my best friend's birthday. This year I missed a friend's birthday.... I mean I forgot to wish him. But, the guy is probably the most understanding person on earth and didn't make a fuzz!

So, I am home after 7 months of work. I got to direct the climax of a film, fell from the top of a car, broke a friend's nose (accidentally), got almost run over by a trolley, got laughed at for being stupid...! I am back... found out that my scooter doesn't start anymore, my laptop has ants in it, my balcony has leaves all over and the roof has a bird's nest.

More things will follow.... stay tuned.
