Back to Dallas

And I am back to Dallas for another long year! But not-so-surprisingly enough, Dallas feels like home ( after Pune though ) too. I guess the credit goes to a comfortable routine and independence that God has blessed me with over 2009. Well that would be unfair to say that - God's always been kind and generous, having filled my life with the most supportive set of friends and family one could ask for. And mainly because these people in my life are better than me at at least 10 different things. I have always felt happy with people who continue to inspire me with their attitude to life. Because no lessons are learned for ever, you tend to forget them and make mistakes again. That is life for a mere mortal like myself. Hence these awesome who come and go ( some geographically, some emotionally ) in my life are probably His angels sent to revise a few lessons about life. Last year ended on an awesome and yet teary note due to my buddy Sandip G moving to California. Could not have been happier for you Sandy, you have achieved what you deserved and will continue to do so, and my good wishes to you forever. We both had the best time together in my new cozy apartment. Spending a few extra bucks on  and more square foot area of floor under my feet ;)  was a true transition from a student in America to an almost full time working professional. We cooked some gr8 Chicken and Paneer ( I was the apprentice on most occasions ) and had the best of time as room mates. Things dont last forever for you and that is nature's way of reminding humans of their quality of adaptation which we tend to forget in after long stints in a comfort zone. It was same as moving away from Sam and Girish and our pseudo-hostel life in Pune ( oh Punayyyyyyy ). But not to forget #2318 Waterview Pkwy remains among the best apartments I have lived so far in my student life and all the guys ( Saurabh, Rohan, Bhavesh , Aditya, Jai and Vinit ) are probably like my maternal home while in my new abode. The last 3 weeks at WorldLink have been nice and happy to have them all around. Well it snowed and set new records in the USA ( 49 / 50 states in US had snowy grounds- Hawaii missed it ) and was the best snowfall I have seen in my life by far. And Vinit is back for a day on his way to California where he is proabably gone for good now - which is great for him, and yet sad coz Raj and I will so miss the amazing trio we cud have been this Spring@Dallas. But life is gona just get better this year with all my trip plans to South Padre and California in the pipeline. There is one missing element in my life this year but like a friend quoted on her Facebook status - "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending!"
