Its 1.30 am and thanks to the nice cup of black coffee i had earlier today, here I am, bright eyed and bushy tailed, updating my poor ignored blog :D
As most of you know, I am in London, studying (At least supposed to be) at SOAS :) Second week here and it feels great - I have met so many interesting people, from such varied backgrounds and seen...actually not much. Yes, will get down to that soon.
SO anyway, this post is another list of sorts, of things I miss -
Family - Chattering with mom or remote claiming competitions/grocery shopping with dad. My ultra cool grandparents.
Friends!!!!
Dumb Charades, Uno :D
Pani Puri! Pav Bhaji!!
Drums classes, the picnics, the very recent and unfortunately short jam sessions. The long chats with everyone there.
Singing aloud, completely off key > Thin walls here, I freak out every time my alarm clock rings, thinking that my other flat mates will wake up as well! So singing is out of the question.
Btw, news - I have almost completely stopped swearing. Just noticed it yesterday.
Dancing to music playing on the computer > No, no one sees this, its me dancing when I get bored at home. Completely insane :) Unfortunately, if I dance in my room here, I will probably crash into my bed or study table, or knock down a lamp
Normal drinking water!!! Hard water here :(
Kurtas > Need I say more on this?
Vt - Colaba -Fort > Call it whatever you want, that is one hell of a place to wander about in. Asiatic Library.
The Dhobhi :D :D :D Seriously. Ironing my own clothes = not fun.
Sunlight!!!! Marathi! Hindi films, songs, Hindustan Times, Mumbai Mirror (I know, I know), my books, Federer pics.
Diwali > the cleaning, sweets, lights, though they do celebrate it here..
So clearly, I do miss Bombay. And my crazy family and friends... See you in a year!
