 Hello, readers!

Welcome back to my blog!

I know that I've been MIA for quite a while now, but guess what?! I'm back with lots of exciting news and updates about my life to share with y'all.

I've finally decided to leave Chennai, which has been my home for 19 years, and move to Bangalore for college! It probably sounds a lot more exciting than it really is. It was cool and exciting in the beginning for me, too, but as days pass by and the shift gets closer, I find myself being terrified. I realise that it's pretty hard to uproot 19 years of life, even though I've never quite felt at home in Chennai. 

My college seems cool and all but I'm not so sure about the people. Everyone is sweet. Too sweet and sugary, to be honest. Maybe that happens in every other college, but I wouldn't know, would I? I can't quite say that nobody is really nice because some people are. They've helped me, even though they've never met me in person, and I'm absolutely grateful to them. I find myself wishing for people who are more real and honest. Maybe it's the generation rather than the college. At any case, I hope to make friends with people whose vibes match mine, once offline classes begin.

My dad, sister, and I went pg-hunting in Bangalore a few days back to find that Vasanth Nagar is basically a pg-haven. Everywhere we looked, we found a pg. I've shortlisted a few options for myself to decide which one would suit me.

I'd say that the classes and events in the college are quite engaging, although some are pricey. Speaking of pricey, I found that clothes and shoes in Bangalore are less expensive, along with being more trendy, in comparison to the stock in Chennai. The cold was unimaginable, so much so that I wondered if I'd die of pneumonia before I even got to attend offline classes. Guess it's because I'm used to the hot-as-hell climate in Chennai.

Everything was quite alright in Bangalore except one major issue that I can't overlook: cigarette smoke. I could smell it once in every 2 mins, no matter what street I walked on. When I sent a text in the unofficial college group about it, one girl literally said that people don't smoke as much in Chennai because we're more "conservative". The best part is that she's from Chennai, too. I mean, seriously? Wasn't the smoking trend cancelled in like, the 1990's? Smoking is scientifically proven to be harmful to the smoker as well as the people around him/her. I didn't quite understand why it's "conservative" to prevent that. 

Quite frankly, I'm scared to be in a new city by myself. My boyfriend promised to get there by January at the latest, but I really wish I could fall into his open arms as soon as I get there in November. I know that he's doing everything he can but somehow, things aren't as bad as they could be, if he's around. I'd love to have the sense of comfort and positivity that he carries with him wherever he goes. Maybe it's selfish but I can't seem to stop myself from wanting him to be wherever I am, so much so that I've taken to calling him "The Cuddle-Seducer". 

I feel a sense of premonition. Or is it just my paranoia? Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Thanks for reading!

Have a nice day/night! : )
