Gone Home

Whats common among Indra Nooyi , Randolph Peter Best (original drummer of Beatles), Nasser Hussein, M. Subramaniam, 13.04° N 80.17° E and Me ?

Since it has “Me” you would have guessed by now it is nothing great. The answer is , the 34th largest metropolitan city in the world originally called “Madre de Deus” in portugese and later Madras and now Chennai . Apart from the famous people (yeah yeah not me : - ) ) in the list , Pete Best was born in chennai and M Subramaniam is it's current mayor (for one last time it is not Stalin anymore) and the degrees are the coordinates of chennai .

So why are you reading this rambling instead of doing something useful . Its because I am free right now , it’s a Friday and so no project documents open in my computer and also because I suddenly realized I have a long forgotten blog . With no topic striking me I decided to atleast put a post on what I do best and what have done one more time – moving places .This time it is not “moving to” but “moving back” to Chennai . I am still not sure whether it was a right decision but I am already here. I used to “so what ? ” people whoever said Chennai is a horrible place with a sh*tty sweaty weather because nobody need tell me about it and it is true and you cannot do anything about it. But then even I got pissed when I got fully drenched by time I reached office on the first day . Then decided atleast I shouldn’t complain .Its my city .hmmm….lets see.

Also realized how much of a nomad I have become when I packing to leave Bangalore . All clothes fitted into a bag and all data went into a USB key .That’s all , I was all set to leave .Was wondering how much of a detached life I was living and how inherent this style of living has become in me . I knew I was going to miss the people and my favorite restaurants but I know they are not gone for ever. So I said my byes and just left . Oops...i needed to change the status in the messenger and i changed it to "Gone Home"
