Leaving on a Jet Plane.....

Spicy sambhar, chicken biriyani, soft idlis, tamil cinema, the street where I grew up in the past 21 years, adorable but irritating neighborhood kids, gully cricket, my room filled with posters of tennis role models, childhood friends - the ones I went to school with, others I played gully cricket, the local ground where I played a million cricket matches in reality and another million replayed in dreams, the marina, too many familiar sights.......hold on, hold on, brain overheating.....overwhelming emotions, coming up too fast. Gotta stop :))

Im leaving for my hometown, hustling bustling Chennai, India in less than a week. Three weeks of being a spoilt brat and be taken care of mom's cooking and care. I dont have to worry about cooking or getting my fingers burnt or doing my laundry. Thats not all Im looking forward to, I need the next few weeks for some good time away from all the research work and courses. Here I am finishing my final exams, tying up loose ends before I leave, reports to type out and presentations to work on. Its necessary I need to get this work done now because I have less than 48hours after coming back from India to present my first conference paper in San Jose, California. Thats why I had to neglect my blog and stopped visiting any other blogs as well.

So, there you have it folks, all those who stopped by my blog and decided to holler, Im hollerin back to ya......Im leaving on a Jet Plane.
