Everyone has returned to their respective homes and the home is silent once again. It is virtually like the “sunaa aangaan” that melodramatic parents like to talk about. Roomies’ fiancée back to her last semester before coming back hopefully to Atlanta for her graduate studies or my brother back to his grueling accelerated graduate program or another roomie’s endless stream of friends from all over the continent, staying over in pre-scheduled batches, or even the ex-roomie who returns from India, duly married and armed with the mandatory wedding album, now in electronic format.
Everyone will be missed with varying degrees. From a chaotic high of nine people crammed into our tiny apartment around New Years Eve to the eerie silence of three listless souls trying to catch their breath, it is a lame attempt at getting back to their lives after catering to the multitudinous needs of their guests.
All the guests have an agenda when they arrive here: ADS’s fiancée had her GMAT monster to tame and the quarterly nourishment of Bollywood crap to catch up on and my brother likes to renew his blogging habits only when he is on the south side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He has neither the commitment nor motivation to update a personal blog and is dabbling in the geeky world of Tech blogs and this hyperlink is an underhand attempt to dole him some hits.
But now that everyone has departed, we have to piece our lives together again and try to bring a semblance of order into our topsy-turvy lives. Even though you yearn for your personal space, something seems amiss when peace descends. The transition from frenetic activity to a uncanny subdued calm is unnerving at times. In short, I have to get back to the monotonous routine of what is better known as student life. Holidays are truly over now.
PS.If you observe carefully, there have been few notable changes in my blogroll. Few old warhorses have made a comeback and some previously-unnoticed gems have been added. I have retained the blogs of some who have made an abrupt exit in the hope that they made an equally dramatic comeback.
