Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Insane Galaxy

After a pretty long unexplained hiatus it feels good to be back. There are times in our lives that are so intense that we choose to snap all links and switch off from the rest of the world, with just the bare minimum left in place. Well ... it is more like an assumed hibernation, waiting for that damn blizzard or winter to die down or wear itself out, melt away or thaw. Gosh! I feel bad to turn this post into a spiritually introspective soliloquy. Hmmm.... well out of the blue I chose to fly against the sane flock, migrating to a colder place as winter sets in, I decided to move to the UK. I simply had to yield to that incessant, pressing, itching, bursting thrust in me. Got my visa, quit my decent job, left my loving family, flew out of my dearest motherland, and landed as a unemployed vagabond in the city of London, greeted by darkening clouds and peppering rain.

For over a month and a little more, I went blip! Missing from the radars of friends and relatives alike. Normally I am not a person of impulses or the esoteric tantric largely bonded towards unexplained mysteries. But this time, abandoning all reason and sound logic, I heeded to some kind of instinctive sixth sense urging. The past 2 months have been extremely intense, spiritually cleansing and sensibly the most needed jerk to get me back into the shoes of an eternal hitch hiker ever willing to explore newer territories, fortes and pastures. But as most changes or jerks it has not been an easy one! Nevertheless, it was worth it. It has left me richer in character and more sound and complete as a person. Well ... to cut the long story short (every story that I ever write is so damn long!)...here I am once again with renewed energy and buoying with a spirit of adventure, in a new land, with a new job, amidst new people. Hmmm.... I wanted to write more ... but Hell! My lessons are mine and I don’t want to sound like a withering Mosses coming down Mt. Sinai to discourse on the stone tables in his hand. So, from Namma Chennai to the city of bloody rain, London.
