Its the time of the semester again...the one thing according to me that separates the system here from KJSCE... u work ur bit through the 14 weeks but still it all builds up towards the end.. and this sem has been difficult on more than one ways.... how to proceed towards the end on my Masters..and most importantly..when will UA 8865 lift off the tarmac at DFW airport ?? Random conversations with everyone around automatically veers towards the eminent trip back home... there's a sense of "I deserve to go back". Its been an unprecedented period of personal and emotional growth each one of us has gone through in these past 15 months. From the gleam I had on my face when I got my first paycheck or credit card... It feels good to be going back to Mumbai... yeah.. I have become too much of a MCP (M for Mumbai) here...
Its been one of the happiest moments of my life. Rahul got a fulltime offer from Cisco in San Jose. Of my closest friends who've come here, he's the first to cross the line beyond education.. he is a fighter and has earned every bit of this..way to go Tiger!!! Also, this upcoming week sees Urmila and Gokul go home..its like the initial trickle before the flood of people who came last August go back... I can imagine the excitement they must be feeling..
The music of Guru has released. ARR-Mani Sir combo is always special. I have listened to couple of tracks on musicindiaonline... Tere Bina is a masterpiece from the Maestro in his own voice... the tabla in the background adds that magical bit of percussion in the track. Its also very nostalgic to hear Hariharan render Ei Hairathe... I've missed his calm as the ocean voice and the track has a very Indian feeling to it... Guru is going to be a pretty special movie for me..It releases on Dec. 22 and after my short fly about the country, one I am back home on 25th, I hope to catch it in IMAX. The magic of bollywood on a multiplex looking at the hot girls who've come for their movie dates..the samosa in the interval... Indian cinema in its new avatar in one of the many screens, but the essence and soul still in place.. wow!!
I dunno when I'll blog. Thanksgiving weekend is next and I hope to do some shopping and maybe a short trip with Varun to refresh myself before a mad dash till the finals... but it still gives me goosebumps to think that the fouth saturday from now, I'll be 10000 odd miles away, halfway across the world.... in a place I call home....
Random thought: I know so many single girls, yet, why am I single still?.....
Song currently listening to: Tere Bina from Guru

Guru sounds real nice, and as usual ARR serves up something refreshingly new. Like u said...glad to hear Hari at his singing best :)
'Ei Hairathe' is brilliant.
Going home is prolly the best reason to leave it in the first place :D
That first trip back home.. listen for the Swades shehnai playing in the background. You'll hear it :)
