I Don't Drive Anymore

Yes I don't drive anymore, and there is a good reason why. I don't own a car.

Now why is this information important for anyone reading this? Well it really isn't. But if you have known me long enough it will tell you that I have changed. I know. I know. It's obvious. Things change. People change. Big deal.

I suppose I stopped blogging here about five years back. You can see why. Nothing interesting or important to say. And things change in five years. I blogged online elsewhere and stopped there too. I wrote in notebooks and tore them up later. So where is this going? We will get to that soon.

Packaged Idiot was all about my journey of leaving Delhi, leaving home, moving to B-lore, starting afresh. It was a journey full of hope, music and coffee. A rush, a high that I had not felt in a long time. And like all good things that phase ended too, along with the rush, the high.

In the years gone by life took me to Singapore with a parallel stint at Mumbai. The parallel one then moved back to Gurgaon which had become Gurugram by the time I got there. It seems other things were changing too, as I changed. Damn! It's still two homes - Singapore and Gurgaon. Two worlds as different as they can be! Which one do I prefer? Who cares...

In the last five years hope gave way to practicality, music took a back seat or rather moved to the boot, and coffee survived. There is a hot cuppa on my desk as I punch the keys away. When all else failed there was coffee. When everything went my way there was coffee. When nothing else happened there was still coffee.

My true and best friend for life.. the coffee journey continues. Lets see if the journey of this blog continues. Only time will tell.

 I will try to be back soon. Not everything needs to change unless its getting better.
