Fleeting Thought & Complicated Truth






This is just something i scribbled on my notes at 3:03am this morning...

I can handle the distance when you're far away
But I can't handle the distance when you're right here!









And I notice that I confused quite a few people with my last post and not many of them are clear with my current housing situation and plans for the near future so here's exactly how it is...


  • I live with my parents in a two bedroom flat in Delhi; this house has been screaming for renovation for years now since its a very old construction and we own a lotta clutter...{old stuff belonging to my dad, bro and sis} that we haven't gotten rid of.

  • The past year and a half our new house was getting built, say about an hour and a half {maybe two} from here. It was finally done up and ready to move into in January

  • My bro got married last year in October and my sis in law is coming to India in April end for her exams.

  • We needed to have moved to our new place before she came here, for obvious reasons... a better and bigger house. We did move finally on 25th March much to my annoyance but I kinda had no choice as I had already delayed it as much as I could and that was the only time I didn't have exams or anything important at college.

  • I hated staying there... didn't unpack much in an attempt to protest. Reasons, uh well for one its on the other end of town... very far from my college{47km one way} with no means of commuting {dad driving me down everyday wasn't an option} and secondly it depresses me just to be there away from all my frnds and everything familiar, comforting.



  • So I did what I had to do...convinced Mum and Dad to move back here even if it meant leaving half my stuff behind, sleeping on the folding bed, watching the old TV with the bad picture tube {don't ask... the blue is sometimes green, the orange is sometimes red :P}, managing without a washing machine and even a refrigerator...My biggest reason: goin to college is not a problem and plus my exam centre for my end sems in May is 2 minutes from here, its madness expecting me to come from there for my exams.



  • So we finally did come back on Friday, 4th April, cleaned up the mess this place was in till and dropped down dead with body ache and tiredness. I'll be honest, I was very happy! :)

  • Major Complication: yup there had to be a glitch ;)
    My sis in law is comin in April end so we need to be there but I have end sems from 5th to 16th May so we need to be here. :P

  • Basically the moral of the story is that Mum might have to go back and I will too as soon as my exams finish on the 16th of May {I'm takin in all i can from here, the place i call "home"} to the same place that depresses the hell outta me. And that is why NewsFlash from Vands' Desk reads:
    "Confused Life doesn't make sense...
    Uncertainty looming in the future..."

Awwwwww. Amazing feat to have convinced your mom to come back home to a place where there is no fridge!! I agree "home is where the heart is". Who knows, maybe your heart will start liking the new place..who knows there might be a cute guy living next door!!!!

OK I get it. But dekho, u r way better of than me :)

i lived all my life till 10th in UP, we changed houses in the colony.. but i LOVED it there... when suddenly my dad decided that ki nahin... u r suppose to learn culture et all frm where yu belong..crap.. and i had to cme dwn SOuth for my 11th and 12th.. in a damn HOSTEL!

i fell sick.. i hated it

resolved never to cme back...unlike yur dad.. my dad once he has made up his mind..seldom changes it :-|
so i came back was veryyyyyyyyyy happy.........in Delhi! Great 1 yr...b4 i was AGAIN set back to south...


and i m again in sme other part of the south with my parents.. but we change houses every 2 yrs..

i dnt have a house that i can call home :)

now yu r better off honey///way better off! at least yu got yur own house.. and yu will definitely not be moving again..hain na?

we have to move again.. i dnt knw where to this time.

So cheer up.. sme things in life.. HAVE to be let go. yu cannot hold on to past...and cry...as I said look at the bright side :)

u r in a place where u belong.. and i m in a place i HATE, but i m with my FAMILY after so loooonnggg... and i m happy [ ok i get angry smetimes at them, but that doesnt count :D]

ok? cheer up will u?

I m glad i made yu smile :)

Life is such...what can we do..other than smile at the stupid situations we end up in :)

"I can handle the distance when you're far away
But I can't handle the distance when you're right here!"

loved it...

and i already know the situation... i know how difficult it was and how confusing it is to get there too [:P] but you got your way na even if it is for now. and kal kine dekha hai? pehle exams ho jaane de and then we'll see what has to happen... and you know we'll all be here through it all... chin up...

btw i came up with something too... "true love happens just once. but when you find the right person, you fall in love over and over again."
Beena said…

as for the situation, you will pull through and out of the confusion. Life goes on and changes are there no matter if we want them. Once you accept it it will be easier. For now just good luck with everything!! :)

Zahid said…
I understand what it means to be away form the whole surroundings you'd woken up with all these years....

Things like....
You wont see the same old red rose blossoming in your neighbours garden which you kept stealing.
You wont walk through the same street to get head and shoulder shampoo to take a bath.
You wont sometimes have the same landline number
You wont have that little kittten which always ate the leftovers off the dustbin again...

My empathies !!!

it takes awefully long fro your template to load, nut the posts are always worth the wait!
anyway, had anything like this happened at my place a tight slap across my face would have settled matters......

hey i m back. i know what it takes to shift houses. i have been doing tht 4 times in 2008. 2 times in India and 2 times in USA. its scary, tiring and exhausting. gotta take care of every small thing, but yes home shud be one place where u can find peace, isnt it ?
IncorrigibleV said…
@zahid
exactly...
appreciate that u understand :)
IncorrigibleV said…
@durjoy
uhmm well ive been told that by a couple of other ppl as well, i'll see if i can help it ...thanks for the compliment though :)
btw i didnt quite understand, what exactly did u mean by "anything like this"?... don't like the idea of a tight slap across ur face :|
IncorrigibleV said…
@ashu
hey hiiee... welcome back ashu, i'll read up on u asap :)
and uve shifted 4 times this yr already? good lord, that mustve been a whole lotta work....
i agree with home being where u find peace.... where u can go to bed without a thought in ur head and wake up to smile the next morning...
this is how it is for me, i know it'll change but am happy for now... and who knows i might even be happy later...:)
Ankur said…
gr8 to hear that u r at the place whre u wanted to be...where u belong...where ur soul lies :)

i know how difficult it is to be away from friends for long, u can have the best in the world, yet u miss them the most... :)
in this city of pune, which ppl called fun to be in... i only find loneliness, far away from Jaipur, my home town or delhi/ggn where most of my friends are, its horrifying...
Weekends which ppl call leisure time, i call it the worst days in the whole week...
yesterday when they called from back home, asked me... wat u doin home at 8 in the night... they said... "aish kar, kya ghar par beetha hai..." i cudnt tell dem... i dont feel like i belong here :((

Atelast u have ur family in ur new home... I only have I, me, myself and this lappy of mine :)

Hope u will adjut urself soon n well in the new house... :)

Gud Day
Cheers!!!

Hi,

I have started a blog namely Chef Friday Brunch to challenge the creative musings within to come up with a piece of writing on a theme of the week that would change every Friday. You can write up a post which can be a story, poem, prose based on the theme or the prompt on your blog if you find the theme interesting and drop a comment on my blog providing the link to your post. I would collate the links at the end of week and post it on my blog. Please do spread the word around if you find it interesting.

Thanks

Chef

Thanks for being a part of a very short list of visible readers of my blog.
