Its official. I had lost it. And now I have it back. Here's to Pilani in all its arbit madness which somehow makes perfect sense and to better things to come.

Happy Birthday to me!

Its my 22nd. And it feels different. There was anticipation, but it wasn't the same. It was a little late a-coming, but it did. Is change in the air? Its like the monsoons of this year, we waited, we waited, we waited, they came and went. For the last 21 years of my life, there was a peak to that anticipation, it built up, it reached a crescendo, and when the day arrived, it blossomed into an excitement that is the fruit worth sixty five and three hundred days of a lifetime, invaluable. And in retrospect, I dont know if the anticipation was really for the day at all. It would be for an Oasis, or for the Nu of my life, or thats what something tells me. Of course the five year old me in me begs to differ.
And then again, the excitement is there, but its not the same. I dont shout out that its my birthday from the rooftops anymore. Or rather, the five year old me still does, except that her voice is drowned out by the adult me, I'm guessing who's way louder. Nu would assure me otherwise. But there are winds of change in the air. I am older and wiser, and its time to leave childhood behind.

Goodbye Kiddodom, Welcome womanhood.
