empty nest syndrome...

Another one has flown off...

Nikhil also left for delhi-US today evening. Past two weeks have been excruciating in the number of see-offs I've had to give.
My parents returned home to delhi after an extended stay in Bangalore.
Sardar returned to delhi..permanently.
We've been staying together for the past 10 odd months, and even though proximity breeds a minute amount of contempt (the words are from the saying- this is nowhere as serious as this sounds...contempt..sheesh man who makes up these sayings, I mean, what?? )i'll miss his company terribly. It was great fun to relive the 3rd year days when I used to hang on to the pillion seat of his bike while he showed me how crazily fast a bike could be driven...{he tried to redo those days but three factors were against him...the bike's a lot older now (the original 'burgaaandy' has lost its pre-adolescent verve..bangalore roads are nowhere near Delhi, specifically roads inside DCE (wait thats a terrible comparison..sheesh..there are NO roads in bangalore..just a series of potholes and ill-conceived speed breakers)...and most important- the bike used to pull a combined weight of maybe 130 kgs in the days of yore- now it must've been pulling 160-170...aww ok maybe 180, whats a few kilos amongst friends, and the bike is an old friend now}

Aasheesh, he came, roamed around with chicks from his previous office, drank a bit, met his mama...and swoosh, he was gone again...

Reddy is stuck with staying in the hotel...AND he doesn't have a cell phone yet. He's totally incommunicado and is extremely difficult to coordinate any activity with him...am trying to reach his hotel early tomorrow..lets see if i manage to reach.

rest, i'm halfway through the prelude to Foundation...I read the entire foundation series when I was bitten by the sci-fi bug in 9th-10th. Good to re-read them...

Also Tushar came over yesterday- conversation progressed on the same lines as always...yawn..but a drunk tushar's antics are fun to watch..great fun :)
