I woke up this morning, getting a call
from my father, asking the general questions, and I gave him the
practiced answers. Got on the internet, only to realize that the
internet connection was no more. So I missed my vlog schedule. Called
the call center without any result. Had the usual rice baath at
“Nanda Gokula” and met with the Vetrivel owner. I then decided to
walk to Kaggi's Bakery, and bought a pretty expensive cake. I haven’t
visited that place since 2010 I guess. It surely was a welcome
change. Walking back, sent me back a few years, when my shoulders
weren’t so weighed down by reality, and general garbage. How I
wished I could be transported back in time. Really.
I paid the rent and electricity bill
to the landlord, and checked on the internet again after coming up to
my apartment. Cleaning was my next chore of the day, something I got
myself into recently. When you haven’t cleaned in close to 3 years,
and placed yourself into a cocoon, it is quite an uphill task.
In all of this, I felt surprisingly
positive, after many days. Kind of feel 19 again.. If that's
something. Prejudices took the back seat and I felt like confronting
everything all at once. In all of this, I guess the weather has
played a certain role. After two days of being damp and soggy, it is
quite bright today. The warm sun and the cool breeze is certainly is
a delight.
