Madras, it is !!

Everybody has an appetite for home town, how true is that??!

I was beginning to enjoy the perks of independent life, I was just starting to savour every moment of the weekends, I was just then beginning to get nicer company to make leisure time for and lo! I also had to move back to pavilion, once and for all.

The early morning my train reached its destination - Chennai, I walked out half sleepy with just my backpack, for I had left everything behind owing to the hasty move.

It took me almost a week's time to actually accept the fact that I am a part of the inter-dependant-family-circle again. It for sure, was weird! Being independent has become yet another far-fetched-may-never-happen kinda dream.

But again, I am in Chennai, namma Madras ( yaaaaayyy!!! ) who cares about independence and all?

I do not have to 

• plan ahead about the day's dinner
• look forth into grocery shopping
• wash/ dry/ iron clothes on a regular basis
• think about cleaning the house the very next morning
• remember all the expenses for the monthly calculation
• save all the bills for later purpose
• put up with okay-okay food even at restaurants
• worry about safe locking the house while leaving for work or worry the entire day about it
• ponder mid-day if I had turned the gas off in the kitchen

I will or can never be held responsible for anything, ever !

Instead, I can

• visit friends just anytime
• plan birthdays and anniversaries with no worry about ticket availability
• "Marina"
• ride around the town happily on nice roads
• get lost and found again
• have nice food at restaurants
• get some sister time
• fight with mom
• work, happily

 Though my heart does jump at the opportunity of "Independence" back in Bangalore, the perks of being back in a place, you can proudly call a home is just abundant to let go.

PS: Sincere thanks to those people, back in Bangalore, who made me all these good memories in the last couple of months. I would love to come back to you guys, anytime.
