Homesick

I've been really happy as well as really sad ... these last few days. Some of my friends have given me some wonderful news and I am really happy for them.
At the same time.... it has suddenly struck me... that all my friends, or atleast the ones who I consider close to me, have all moved out of Vizag. In fact... no two of them are in the same place. This makes me feel so bad. Somehow..I get the feeling... that....Vizag is no longer my true home. I feel as if I have been thrown out. For the first time, I feel homeless. True...I still have a lot of relatives there... and true that so do my friends....so it is very much possible... that we will be going there. But somehow.... I dont see it as the same. I am scared... that the gang...as we know it... may have split ..... and for a long time. Wonder if....or hopefully... when.. we will all meet again. For someone's wedding? Maybe.... lets see.

Another thing which amazes me... scares me.... is that a majority my school friends have joined up in graduate school!! Srinath (NITIE), Soumya(IIMA) and Sanjeev (IIMB) have ended up in Business Schools. Praneeth is extending his IIT-Kharagpur to finish a masters in 5 years. Suresh and Akhilesh ...are doing the same in IIT Chennai. Ajay (USC), Sujana( LSU?), Reshma (Il. St., Normal), Aditya (Idaho State, Moscow) are all coming to the US for grad school. Pramod's got a job with Computer Associates. Vasishta, being the only doctor... still has ages to go...before he's done. Vamsi and I still are working on finishing our bachelors.......hopefully soon:)

just wanted to spit that out. Somehow ... it makes me feel better... more positive. I have such a wonderful life in front of me. I am no longer tethered to one place.... lets see.

Oh.. I decided on a whim to shave off my moustache. Just like my Brother-In-Law. Lets see how long this whim lasts.

Mohan.
