Life...................(Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, Keshavananda Bharti v State of Kerala)

It's been a while since I've written a post. It's for a combination of factors really. For a few inexcusable reasons, I could not bring myself to write. Well, anyway I'll try to put all that behind me as soon as possible. No more posts lamenting on the many turns and twists my life has taken. What 'life'? I am only 18, and I am just a year old in college! There's plenty of time left to feel sorry for myself in life. According to a WHO report(for all the losers who do not know what's WHO it's ,World Health Organization, a part of the United Nations.Still no clue? Google it!)the average life span of an Indian female is 63 years. So yeah, I still have plenty of time to think.

As you can see, I have begun giving authorities, to whatever information I quote. Well, call this the law school effect. After doing making countless memos, well not countless, it's 6 actually, the habit has seeped into this tiny brain of mine! Yeah, it's funny but I have been in Law school for a little more than a year.

My life has changed drastically since I moved into room no.207, NGH of NLU. I decided to document as many as I can. Here's to change!

1. The most important, eating bland food, rock hard idlis, searching for good south Indian food. Finally settling for whatever you get.

2. Why waste money on movie tickets when you have a perfectly functioning laptop? and a LAN connection?

3. Washing clothes, back home all I had to do was, well drop the dirty clothes in to the laundry box. Well, here I finally learnt how to use the machine! :)

4. Ironing my own clothes, it took me sometime to get a hang of this one! Thanks to a lot of help from the Bushy haired girl, I managed it!

5. Cleaning my room! The one hate the most, ugh! the dust, the clutter, especially thanks to my 'shopoholic' nature, I generally end up finding, things I don't even remember buying, then I go around asking who they belong to! Most of the time I am reminded of the time I bought that particular bauble, thinking I absolutely cannot survive without it!

6. Loud music, emanating from any room on the floor.

7. Filling the cooler, what a pain!

8. My usual hangout coffee shop, Barista, has been replaced by Coffee Day!

9. Instead of Little Italy, I go to King's Pavillion for Pasta.

10. Deli 9's chocolate pastries have given way to 15 A.D.

11. Shopper's Stop, Lifestyle, City Center Mall, Central have heralded the arrival of "National Handloom", "Reliance Mart" and "Ansal Plaza".

12. The new McDonald's made me feel as happy as a new mum!

13. Masala filled Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, is replaced by the Jodhpuri version, of green colored Andhra Chicken Pulav, deceptively termed "Hyderabadi Biryani".

14. The best takeaway joints are Kashmiri Spicy, Shaheen and Chics and Kabs. All adorning the roadside!

15. The worst of all, getting used to travelling in bone cracking autos and not my Zen or Santro! :)

16. Street shopping in Charminar, Badi Chowdi, and General Bazar is replaced by Nai Sarak.

17. I am still getting used to teh fact that, the only fort in the place I live in is Mehrangarh, and not Golkonda.

The rajasthani twang, the hot sun, the bright colors, will still need some getting used to, but what is life without change? Isn't life about enjoying every moment you can? After all going by the who statistics I just have 45 years to live. That dosen't seem too long now, does it?

As my mum always said, Life's too short to hold grudges! :)

Adios!
