Cole's Law
Thinly sliced cabbage.
Exit, Stage Left
Here I am.
Ready to leave my home town in a few hours time, and my country, tomorrow morning.
To explore strange new countries.
To seek out new races and new civilisations.
And to Boldly go where, uhh, I have not gone before.
My feelings now?
Sadness - A bit.
Confucious saying: No cry before leaving. Bad for everybody.
Happiness - A lot.
I am leaving to a new place. Albeit for 5 long years.
Butterflies in my stomach - I hope not.
I am a vegetarian.
Homesickness - No.
I have not left home yet. :P
Went to the beach yesterday morning. with a hope of recollecting all events, thoughts and memories of the last few years, categorise them and then, hopefully archive them. But what came was a deluge of rememberings, forcing me to shudder and get awed by how much I have to give up and what all I have to miss.
Meanwhile, tentacles of logic, kept constantly probing into my past, trying to find out if sometime, somewhere, somehow, something would have shoved me into a different path then where I am. I tried my level best to control them - it was a regular David Versus the Goliath in my mind.
But.
That was all I could do.
Just keep them there for the time being.
Anyway, instead of contemplating and untangling all the complex threads of emotion twining in my brain, I would take the time, rather space here, to thank everybody and bid adieu.
- To all my cowsins, who have been closer to me siblings (if I had had).
- To all my uncles, aunts, any other relatives and well wishers who had provided the pearls of wisdom (or is it the wisdom of pearls??)
- To all my friends, who have provided me good company over the past years and saw me through many difficulties.
- To all my college professors who have helped me rise academically.
- To my college, which has made me who I am and what I am.
- To the city of Chennai, which has been my lovely residence for the past 10 years (inspite of the worst weather and worser administration).
- To all ye bloggers, who have been a source of very good companionship and the some whom I have had the pleasure of meeting. Those who I have not met: A big SORRY.
- To my computer, which has provided me trouble free companionship for three years and have spent many happy hours gaming and has made my blogging possible.
- And finally, to my dear parents, whose help is immeasurable (because they are, after all, my PARENTS)
So for now, I bid a temporary adieu to all.

Until then, Goodbye.
