After 18 Months

A lot has happened since I last posted. I would have been really pissed off if it hadn't since I posted last some one and a half years ago. 

I have been in Delhi for the last six months. And realized my reasons for wanting to be in Delhi were, well frankly, screwed up. I have also realized I miss Calcutta. I never thought I would, but that city sure did give me some joyous memories. I also miss fish and all things Bengali when it comes to food. Again, never thought it would be possible. I remember telling my mom over and over again how having the same cuisine for more than two decades is enough to make me never eat it again. How wrong I was! 

I do not know how much personal growth I have had. My days still seem to consist of endless hours of either watching mindless soaps or reading mindless novels. My biological clock is as bad as it was a couple of years ago. And my dedication and discipline still near negligible. 

On the bright side of things, I finally have a roommate who is awesome to live with. Someday I might write about the whack jobs I had for roommates before. I am also living in a hostel and enjoying it very much. I have made new friends. I like the new course well enough. 

I am participating in the 100 Happy Days challenge. I am in the first week of it though, and I don't know how long will I be able to be happy, since I find my default mood to be 'sad'.

One thing I do wish to continue is regular blogging. I have been tinkering with the concept of blogging for almost half a decade now and created atleast half a dozen blogs. Sadly, I haven't been able to maintain even a single for more than a few weeks. I will try to change that this time around, which is pretty much the reason I did not create a new blog for this post, considering the last post was so old and I was itching to name a new blog. Instead, I deleted all my old blogs, so that I can focus on this one.

I remember that Friends episode with all the new year resolutions and how Rachel could not keep her resolution of diary writing since 'a lot happened that year'. I really don't want to repeat that.

Hope to be back soon.
