Time, as they say, stops for none. Nah, not even for the Devil himself. My last week has been weird. I mean, it’s been great in some respects, but then, it kinda sucked too. On top of it, I have been keeping shit busy. And hence this post, after a hiatus of one whole week!
Well, first things first. I must admit, I have NEVER (yes, never!) before received a blog award, and here is the very first one, thanks to Rohini. Yes, I am happy. I must admit, I am not really excited about the award itself. But the very gesture that Rohini felt this blog should be awarded, was what touched my heart. And of course, just like your very first love, you always remember your very first blog award. So, without any more ado, here’s my award! 
And, I would like to pass on this award to Sakshi, Cathy, Suruchi and Uncle J.
It was just 3 days back when mom gave me an amazing news. They are going back home. Yes, they are going back to Mumbai! Two more weeks and Mumbai’s gonna be my home again. Now, I have spent 15 years of my life in Mumbai. And Mumbai is where my heart is. So naturally, now I have started to target all my energy and concentration onto moving to Mumbai. Do not know how soon that’s gonna happen, but I am surely keeping my fingers crossed.
The day before yesterday, I got involved into an amazing verbal volley with my landlord. Why? Well, we discovered that he has installed a separate tap/knob that would stop the water supply at our and the other tenant’s flat, but he and his sorry family could enjoy the bliss of 24×7 water supply. You have no idea about the extent I was infuriated to. Anyway, we have already given them an ultimatum and leaving the present house as soon as we find a new one, with 24×7 water and power supply. Have had enough of living in the primitive age!
Remember my post about the launch of a product that i was working on? Well, that went on really well. Finally, nothing goofed up, and now we are rolling. Just one more iteration and we are gonna make a pan-India launch, very soon. Want free passes? Then don’t forget to leave a comment to this blog post 
For the last couple of days, a weird feeling of depression has engulfed my heart. It’s a useless thought, I know. I know, it’s not worth losing my sleep over. And yet, try how I may, still haven’t managed to shake those images out of my head. Life’s suddenly started to feel drudgery. Even with Suruchi’s amazing anecdotes, that innocent laugh has stopped reappearing from within. Now, everything’s so controlled. Suddenly, I feel so grown up, and old. Suddenly, I am grumpy. Makes me feel like shouting on top of my voice, “Somebody, please save me! Show me the path!!” Now that I can actually see my life getting back on track, why can I not be happy? Why can I, at least, not pretend to be happy?
How I wish I knew!
This blog is basically a chronicle of my life, and my emotions, since the time I first left home, in search of the oblivion, in quest of my ultimate goal. This blog has a lot of my memories that still manages to churn out a plethora of emotions within me, every time I wade through the cobwebs of my memory. While I was just a little teenager when I started with it, today I am in the transition phase of being a man of my own stature. And the journey still continues.

Hi Shoy,
I had just finished typing a loooooooooooong reply to your comment on my blog and here I am again…writing to you on yours!
*seems like I just can’t have enough of you…Sakshi, don’t you worry, you man is safe*
Thank you firstly for the award….
Yiyee yiyee yiyeee…
I am glad to be in the circle of friends and hope to be here forever!:-)
Second thank you for finding my anecdotes amazing!
*wow…Sakshi, I am not so sure now…coz this guy just went from being cute to amazingly cute;-)…okay, okay…kidding…don’t look at me like that*
I have been planning forever to host an award show on my blog too…but it is not able to pass through*otherwise I would have been that first awarder*is that a word* and like that first love*sigh! sigh!*;-)
Congratulations on the successful launch!:-)
Now coming to the problem:
Kya hua?
You want to talk about it?
My Facebook inbox at your service:-)
I can be there, you know…not with solutions maybe, but just to hear you out!
Also realize that often ‘change’ makes us fearful!
Introspect n very important…share n vent it out!
That really helps…
Innocence doesn’t really go anywhere…it just gets subdued…and when you shake off the feelings of guilt, doubt, fears….it reappears!
And as you move from one phase to another in life…things do get a little out of OUR control, despite all our planning…
And then we get grumpy and start a cycle of going deeper in the dumps..
I don’t know the problem Shoy or if I am making sense here…
But I do know that we feel how our mind feels and our mind feels what we tell it consciously or subconsciously…
If we tell it positive…it would begin to run in the stream of our body…
Look for the silver linings!
Count your blessings!
Be proud of all your achievements…
And being happy needs an effort…give it!
Big hugs…sorry for adorning my super preachy hat!
Off with it now…
Wish u all the very best!
Don’t pretend…start to BE n FEEL n MAKE yourself happy…coz no one else can do that!

@Su
I am a fan of yours, and love you a lot.
And well, you are a smart girl. I am sure I wouldn’t have to wait around for you to figure out. In case you need a hint, just try to remember what was the last thing I sent you, on your FB inbox. That should do the trick.

Shayon,
I posted a comment yesternight but it seems to have vanished. It is ok. Thanks for the award. I however do not know how to display it in my space, so it will join some more which are in my heart but not visible to others.
Take care

Dear Uncle J,
The blog post is still there, but I have protected it, and is now available for invitation-only viewing. I guess it was a fit of rage that churned out the post out of me. Anyway, I am glad that Suruchi got the better of me, and I decided to hide it behind public view. And do not worry, your comment is absolutely safe with me.
As for putting up the award, even Sakshi was asking me how to put it up. So, I think, one of these days, I shall publish a tutorial so that you can add more components on your blog, in the future, not just the award.
Sounds cool?

Ahem…I guess you arrived here a bit too late :-p The said post is currently password protected since it had created quite a storm. I apologize for not being able to serve what was promised. However, I do hope that you do keep coming back.
