Goodbye Cochin.

A picture from cochin shipyard

Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep. - Carl Sandburg

Its time to roll again. I’m going to Bangalore for college.

I called Cochin my home for the past 4 years. I feel like I’m being torn between worlds again. So many things happened in between that I’m afraid to let go of it. I like to stay with the past, always. Its been a year and 3 months since grad. During that time, I was able to visit Bahrain; the place I first called home, Come back to Kerala and hang out with friends taking in everything Cochin had to offer.

Leaving Bahrain & my school buddies since jr. school was one thing, but leaving all my

[new window/tab]" target="_blank">highschool peeps in Cochin? I just can’t think about it. During Onam, me & a few friends from school went to our old school in Cochin. Now I think I shouldn’t have done that. My head is filled with images from school. I feel so nostalgic and depressed all of a sudden. Somehow, I’m excited about college too. The best thing about Bangalore is, thats where my sister lives. Sure I’ll get new friends, but they can never match Aj, Rosh, & Ash. (Four is now down to a trio, oh well.). I’m gonna miss Alex too. If I had a choice (not that I don’t) I’d wanna stay here. But there is no real use complaining when you got a job to do.

I’m taking Computer Science Engineering starting this fall (that is one of the few things on earth that I have a clue on). I’m also passionate about web-designing (Not in my syllabus; however, Its still on my list ‘To-get-professional-training’), but that can wait for later. My internet time will be really cut-short & I’ll be really busy with studies (no more chats, designs, blogs or stumbles, ZIP!). But hey, I’m gonna be working around computers; how hard can it be for me to find my way back home? to Da web two point Oz.

Hope you miss me. LOL. & by the way, don’t make me come back to find something that Mark Twain would respond with, “The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated!“=]

I have lived all my life knowing that it was now or never. Every moment of my life was worth living. I can proudly say, I did it my way. Summer of Oh-Seven (07) was the best I eva had! Thank y’all & special thanks to AJ, Rosh & Ash for giving me a special year.

I’m packing everything up right now. I leave on Aug 30th, Thursday, 3AM IST (15 hours left).

Later folks, ‘am out.

Ruben is really bored. So you can email him by clicking here. He usually gets back in 3 minutes or it could take up to 3 weeks depending on how addicted he is, to stumbleupon.  Been a little busy for a while, so I'm averaging about a blog every 2 moon cycles. If you are lucky, you'll get to see a new blog entry and know what I'm upto. And when you are here, just let me know by leaving a comment.

Best of luck Ru. Whatever you do you will be a great success at, particularly in computer sciences, in which I’ve always said you were a natural.

I’m really glad you’re life is so full. I love it when my blog friends are too busy to spend a lot of time here. I’ve already had a nice full life, and I wish the same to you. I think about you from time to time, so drop in once in awhile and say hi.

Wishing u all the best, good luck bro! Sure I’m gonna miss u..
Juz leave me a msg if u have time, juz to know that u r doin fine.
Love, ~D~

I thought your college didn’t start until october. I guess it changed.
I understand how hard it is to move to a new place. but you do have previous experiences and you will end up liking it there.. eventually.
hope you have fun at college! and good luck with studies..
