I am going home again to have tubes thrust up and down me, and it will be a while before I get back. At home I usually do not blog, so there will be no posts from me here for two months at least. Probably.
And somehow like last time I am not terribly sad at the thought of going home. I know the restrictions on smoking will be stricter than always yet, I am kind of looking forward to all that biryani and mutton. Even luchi. And perhaps the trip to Nainital at the end of the year. And the university reunion. And some shopping.
So there, my loves, miss me, and keep an eye on this place around early Jan, when I will be back with all my stories, yeah?
PS: A’s birthday gift to me, Chetan Bhagat’s 2 States came in on Friday and I finished it in one day. Interesting, though I thought Bhagat has shown Punjabis in a really bad light to appease his South Indian in laws. And stereotypical in parts. You read it yet?
Surely eating cannot take up all the six hours that you’ll be awake in Cal, right?
Come on, you can post once a week.
Nice little poke there, D, but I intend to eat, sleep, eat, sleep and then do that some more. No distraction for me there…
Will keep in touch through email!
@M, definitely. That’s one good thing about my phone: it supports gmail if not facebook and the blog.
@Arindam: Idiot, I mentioned A gave me the book.
P:S didnt mention who gave u this book….he he
Hey, I read ‘2 States’ and feel that the Punjabis are as good or as bad as the Tamils, if a little bit more overtly so. But then that’s what happens when the theme is inter-community marriage, you have to enhance the differences to get the drift of the disparity that causes the amount of resentment and the extent of repurcussions that do occur when Ananya and Krish express their desire to get married. It was simply because there wasn’t anything personal in Bhagat’s prortrayal of the 2 communities that the novel got us so involved in this love story and dying to know how they fared at the end of the day.
