3 of the 4 blogs that i usually read, had an entry written today, and hence i feel that i must follow suit. Since there's no particular thought in my head, i shall ramble on. I am coming down with a cold, a normal occurence, in my case, accompanying a change of weather. And oh, the weather is becoming so beautiful, the onset of winter in Delhi is dreamy, and i make this declaration keeping in mind that i am a self confessed summer person! Yesterday, while walking to an auto stand sometime in the evening, i felt a change, a certain woody, chilly smell distinct to this particular season, and it brought a smile to my face. I also found myself smiling randomly yesterday for different reasons, after a long time.
It was because of my new friends. The few people that i've been in the company of, these past few weeks, in my post graduate college, have started growing on me, im slowly getting to a very comfortable, intimate place with them. I dont know if its the real thing, but i do hope it is. This security is something im feeling after quite a while, and it feels good. I shall introduce them briefly here, since i realize that i make my life sound very cryptic in this blog, and since my life practically revolves around the people in it, its quite a paradox to not talk of them more often. So from the new bunch, there is Mowgli, my fellow first year and constant companion through endless lectures with boring teachers; Anu, another first year, who also travels with me in my makeshift car pool; Pom, the undisputed leader of the senior gang, attaining this title primarily due to his high position in SPIL (a society in college i have recently joined); Cho, his second-in-command, who is also related to Leo, the object of the first entry of this blog, my ex, but more on him later; Chads, Pom's on-again-off-again girlfriend; Nari, the most akin to me, as we share our religion as well as our nieghbourhood; Singer and his girlfriend; and Champu, the illustrious second year through whom us freshers were introduced to the seniors. That pretty much covers the big-wigs.
Today was also the day for our annual visit to the Blind School Diwali Mela, which was quite a disappointment, considering it was all the same fare. Leo (the ex whom i dated for 4 years before Big) called whilst i was there, and 20 minutes later he showed up with some friends. After much hemming and hawing and causation of mental stress i built up the courage to ask Mom if i could meet him, and surprisingly she agreed. The condition? She would meet him too. So the brave soul that he is, he came forward and we had a very brief, awkward conversation for 2 minutes, during which i got sad for some inexplicable reason, and after which my mother promptly relayed her judgement, "He's become fat." On a more serious note though, she uncannily picked up on my sudden gloom, and started questioning me about it, and the role he currently played in my life, which i craftily dodged by changing the subject! phew!
Enough warbling for the day, i must now try and figure how i can link my favourite blogs to my own.
