FINALLY the change

Yes!!!!!! Yes!!!!

Thanks to the awesomeness of Google and Blogger, I can finally let go of my lamest possible hyperlink that the 18 year old me thought would be temporary but ended up lasting a lifetime!!!! I no longer have to export my blog to a new one just to change the hyperlink. Thanks to the God-knows-from-where-it-started discussion with Ashwini (Who is also an awesome blogger btw) , I ended up checking this out and here I am.

All that has been removed by the introduction of a simple 'Edit' button. Oh Blogger, you have no idea how much I love you for this!

So yes, my blog is on http://perceptionsastheycome.blogspot.in/   So you know what your destination is if it is to read my blog.

WOOHOO!!! *doing the I like to move it, move it dance*


P.S. So many things happening around and for the better if I may say so. Been my natural self after so long it feels refreshing.. A new post should be here soon.

On the other hand,





YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

The Commonplace New Year post

Yes indeed, I sit to write this post just as a matter of tradition. From the point where I used to wait till 12 in the night to post this particular post, today it has come to a point where I just suddenly remembered I've been planning to write this the whole of last week. Sigh, how we change without even realizing so.

This new year's eve was good. Definitely better than sitting alone in my own room in front of my lappy with a Dairy Milk to usher in the new year.

So the apocalypse didn't happen after all! Yay! So at least I am not gonna die before I pursue my Masters/PhD,whichever I choose to do because of something like the end of the world, I so so hope I choose the latter. But I am just so glad that this working independence didn't get the idea of studying further out of my head. If anything, that idea is etched even harder into my brain so yes, my childhood dream is definitely coming true. What is to be seen is how effectively it does.

I must say, working gives you a perspective. It is different from all that I known. It is sadly not like college. You might say, Duh! but then there is this sudden realization that those dream days are indeed over. All the times you were told that the world outside is a dog-eat-dog world comes back to you. Conclusion: You grow up. That sucks!

But again, money hasn't changed my mind about anything so yay again! :) The small things you want to remain just to feel like a kid. You'll have happy moments and crazy happy moments but nothing like those days. However, the thought that I did in fact make the most of the time I had in college makes me feel wonderful and gets me through the days here before I go back to being a student albeit in a different country altogether.

  But I miss Mumbai just so much. Nope, I don't mean my friends there though that I miss them has been repeated ad nauseum. I miss the place by itself. The familiarity. The autorickshaws!!!! Though now I guess I can manage at Crawford market if required.


So, what do I wish for this year? Simplicity. A little more hope. Successful endeavours cuz I have quite some of them, especially those that matter. Strength to live through changes. A good university!( Though that will ideally be next year's wish). More singing. More music. MORE WRITING! More books. And not pressuring myself to be what I truly am not. I really think I need to take it easy. (*sings song in head*). 

Phew! That's too many wishes for someone who doesn't even have a new year's resolution, don't you think?

Anyway, its been a good day. Spent in doing what I love best. Hopefully I do that the whole year too!

Happy new year, y'all! Here's wishing that most of your wishes come true and loads and loads of happiness. (I notice even my wishes have become realistic now :-/ )

Hoping for a brand new beginning. :)
