Why home isn’t home…

·        I am too used to vada paav, chai breakfast.

·        Feeling of uselessness and unproductiveness is a constant mate in Pune… here you can’t feel that way.

·        Clean clothes surprise my nose… make me feel out of place.

·        Money is not an issue… you can always ask for it.

·        Things are not scattered around… you don’t have to spend hours picking up things, looking under them for stuff… nor are there things under you when u sleep.

·        There is actually a time for everything.

·        Hygiene doesn’t depend on you any more.

·        There’s always clean water.

·        You don’t need to go treasure hunting for food.

·        People tell you what to do… and how to do…

·        Compared to the mess meals, all meals at home seem to be delivered from 5-star restaurants.

·        Meals are supposed to be at regular intervals.

·        There’s always electricity.

·        A.C.!!!

·        10:30 is like past bed time.

·        You have to be awake for at least 12 hours a day.

·        U can’t play music 24/7.

·        Now whenever at home, you are working somewhere or the other.

·        Collars are not compulsory.

·        Some of the things around you serve no purpose and are actually ‘AESTHETIC’.

·        Hugs and pecks are rare.

·        Sinks work… Lights switch on!!!

·        There are chairs to sit on.

·        You need not check your wallet before every meal.

·        Alcohol is non-existent.

·        Wants can be made to look like needs. In Pune needs also are optional depending on the date of the month.

·        There is ample time for everything.

·        College= person in front of you, you don’t talk… lost.

Home= Land line + Internet= Always keep in touch… with people you don’t even look at in college.

·        Though bored in Pune too, boredom at home is more boring. ‘I am bored’… the most typed chat words.

·        You are tagged intern.

·        You can only explain to your relatives about 10 times as to career in media ≠ reporter.

·        You are over whelmed with your mother tongue.

·        Randomness vanishes… Everything is planned.

·        World seems dull… colors faded… due to lack of S.I.D.

·        Not everyone you are with is of your age.

·        There is no one place from where u can get all software, movies and songs… pune you have joji…

·        All your needs are already stacked at home.

·        Home = no crisis = no panicking = no fun.

·        Where are the girls???

·        You are bored enough to write such notes.

·        Every time you try and sit on a ‘wall’, mom dad call you back saying if you are jobless, be jobless at home.

·        You greet friends with “How you been? Where’s your internship? How’s the work?” rather than “wanna drink?”

·        Mc Donald’s is not as good as MEGA BITE!!!

·        You can’t justify eating junk saying ‘I’m hungry’…

·        No fresh ATM notes… all of them come via mom.

·        You are provided with ‘In case of emergency money’.

·        Your jeans get washed every two days.

·        You have no one to bug or talk to at 2 in the morning.

·        There is no fantastic 61 bottle collection at home.

·        There is liquor at home which lasts for more than two days and which you cannot consume.

·        There are no WiFi connections to steal from.

·        You can’t bitch much.

·        No scooty back rides.

·        No 1’0 clock airport food.

·        No so many friends to love!!! L

·        No Aditi Shah!!! Sob… sob…

·        Basically, No LIFE!!!
