Home Alone

Earlier this week, my mom had left for Nagpur, to attend a friend's marriage. For her, it was a welcome break from her mundane activities. She is having a ball actually, sans her notorious son! :)

If you are wondering what's so special about 'Home Alone', well, it kind of is. Rarely do I get the gigantic place for myself, and well, I was looking forward to it.

Technically speaking, at home,we generally don't talk much. Nothing actually changed much initially. I still kept fiddling with my laptop or was on the phone. Apart from the usual stuff, I wanted this to be different. My school mates come home often. They don't need any invitation. My home is their home. But, for some reason, it's not the case with my college buddies. So, yes, I decided to call them over! Some of them did turn up, and we had a nice time. 

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! 

Anyways, the next morning, they were gone and things were back to square one. Now What?

I decided to try my hands on cooking. I've been wanting to learn cooking this semester, but well, it just didn't happen. Anyways, with Google, anything is possible. So, I headed towards the kitchen. It took about half an hour, just to figure out the ingredients. Anyways, when it came to the cooking part, it was a flop show. Everything went wrong, and luckily, I didn't get hurt. Well, so much for that!

In between all this, I was busy with the 4th Issue work for GT. It was nice to sit back and 'boss' people around in my own style and manner.

Then, something totally unexpected happened. I had my first real confrontation - that too with a dear friend. Things had got bitter over the past few months. 'Friendship once broken cannot be mended', he said. It hurt me a lot. Our egos had gotten better of us. Well, every experience is a learning! 

Anyways, as I sit now, having Dosa (which I made btw), I am musing on various things.  We need to be adaptive according to situations that arise from time to time! Nothing ever happens according to plan. Absolutely nothing.

So did I feel lonely the past couple of days? Maybe, not! But, as it is the case so many times, my thought process has taken a beating, and I am truly scared, yet intrigued of things to come.
