The dark clouds had gathered, hurrying in to devour the last ounce of the blue sky. Riding on a a roaring Enfield with all guns blazing, Thunder boy rumbled and grumbled through the dark clouds. Lights,camera and action, The sky was illuminated by 'The Lightning' and the stage was set for heavens to open and pour the waters on a land facing the scourge of the Sun god . This so called land, smoked and steamed, is called Home - Cochin.
As I sat on the verandah and amusingly watched the drama above my head, the first drop of mercy hit my forehead and then in a flash, the pages of the yester years turned and memories i held dear inundated me and i gasped for breath!
The place i call home ain't the same anymore. Friends i had ain't there anymore, the laughs and the craziness i shared with cocoa tree seems like a dream.. The endless times i messaged and called people from ma room seemed like it never happened. The school that changed me, and the roads i used to zoom through seemed like a hazy memory. Things have changed!
As my bus, strolled out of Kochi, my eyes fell upon a familiar name board 'CUSAT'. And ma face twitched into a smile cos thats where i met F.R.I.E.N.D.S for life.
I miss cochin, every ounce of it... every single madness that i spent with it...I will return here not to be nostalgic anymore but to live in the REAL world..
In the words of Ozzie, Mama, i will be coming home..to celebrate the merry 'ol Xmas, to redemn my self with the easter festivities, to enjoy the feast of your delicacies, to sweat like a pig in the very hot god's own country, to walk the breezy walkways of fortkochi and for many new memories.... :)

The Beginning
I was always looking for a perfect reason to pen my thoughts on to a webpage, that's what kept me inches away from stepping into the blogosphere .
The urgency to transfer my thoughts to a blog dawned in the beginning of 2009 but it never materialized and like wandering clouds, the need passed away.
In the summer of 2009, my best buddy Sol suggested a motorcycle trip across the ghats from Bglore to Mglore on his super macho avenger. This road madness made me fall in love with the sheer majesty and awe of the mountains and the frantic dash to reach mlore with a series of twists and turns on way planted the thought in me to blog . Alas, the same thought faded away like a passing day after i returned to blore.
2009 came and went and it paved way for a new decade, and BANG! 2010 had made its entry(I have a gut feeling, this year is gonna be promising).
MAD happened in FEB and the experience of walking into a school of little rascals was something i wanted to imprint as a memory here. But all these memoirs of ma life was missing something, the extra 1 degree to kickoff a bloggin habit.
Finally, it was an SMS, a message from pune that brought four idiots and the sleepy woodpecker back to life and gave life a new meaning... In this space, you will find me unplugged and i wish to hold this as my pensieve. Halleluiah! :)
