Sometimes, its wise to accept ....it has been really late! But better late than never =)

So, well... I am back, after an extremely long sabbatical, which bordered mostly on the 'giving-up' of blogging. Back after two years and two months of my first post. Ive had so much to say and so many experiences to share that I have no idea where and how to begin. Firstly, let's start with the apologies, to all those who laid faith in me and decided to read what I wrote, and got that opportunity only once. To say that I am lazy and the undisputed queen of procrastination and complacency will not be an understatement of my general form of existence. I am actually right now procrastinating about doing my class readings, and found a way into my blog to get that reading out of my way. Im incorrigible to the point-of-no-return! So, as I was saying, I am sorry I never wrote. I hope to write more often now.
In the past two years I have had two life-altering experiences. One was when I moved towns and got a job in the television world and lived in a house on my own and shared the space with two flatmates. It taught me what the 24 years spent before that never could. It gave me more appreciation and understanding of my mother, respect for my father and undying love for my brother. Not that I never felt these emotions earlier, but now I could feel the 'weight' of them along with their gravity and intensity.
The second life-altering experience was when I moved continents. I relocated. After having spent more than two and half decades in a civilization, a culture and a complex country such as India, I moved to Australia. Its been one month since I have been in Melbourne, and it is mindboggling the number of 'firsts' I have had. Many of you be prepared for a laugh, but I have had to re-learn how to order my coffee!! How to use a vending machine is also many of my firsts.
Its a joke if I say anxiety is not a part of the mix. It very much is. My mind is always in a spin because ive uprooted my self, just as I was beginning to flourish and flower and have re-sown my self in new soil. A soil I have no previous knowledge of, a soil whose nutrients and sunlight I still have to learn to get used to. But I am the same plant, just in a new garden now!
So, folks, see you all here, more often. I am hoping to chronicle my new life with every interesting turn of events. And I hope for your warm company along the way.

Cheers!
