Hm so well I really won't go into details. Trust me, they're really boring (even to me!) especially cos it was (gasp!) an educational experience. As a result of this, I have:
...become more confident about bus travel
...seen more of the city than I ever thought i would
...realised what exactly dust, heat, unfamiliar company (til they became familiar, that is!) and an untterly amazingly charmless part of the city can do to your morale! (hey, did i say city? wow, so ambattur is actually PART of the city. Hehe. please ignore the cattiness!)
...started to acknowledge the number pad on the right corner of the keyboard does, in fact, exist! (long story cut short: a weird MS-DOS-based word processor, unlearning all Word techniques and several VERY frustrating hours of actually getting work done!)
...learned that hunger can actually make all swill taste like amritam
...realised that friends of the same wavelength (aka Ames, Bentley and Pyne) are absolute TREASURES!
...Discovered that journalism, thank you very much, is definitely off the "Maybe This Can Be A Viable Career Option When I'm Desperate For Money and Independence" list. (Becoming a world-famous writer, robbing a bank and kidnapping bill gates for a large ransom are still on, you'll be pleased to know)
...learned all about the properties, whims, extremely cooling nature of SWEAT and how it's really not God's premature revenge on an agnostic.
...shed some kilos (sob!)
...learned that there is a light side to everything... especially dust, which is so light that a tiny little baby breeze can make it rise and settle... on people!
... discovered my skills at creating truly terrible ambattur parody songs (will spring those on the unwary later... *evil look*)
...felt relieved that my social skills are still just hovering at the zero level.
...realized WATER EEEES GOOOOOOOOOOOD!
More later then...
