It’s been quite a while (or at least it feels like a while) since I’ve blogged. I hope I didn’t loose my touch. Somehow, someway, I’m feeling far too alien inside my own blog’s dashboard. It’s as if I don’t belong in here. My words sound different and the feeling I used to get inside here, is unfamiliar. All these days in Bahrain, I wanted to write something down but something inside held me from getting anything out.

Last night was my last night in Bahrain. Today, I’m going back to Bangalore. My travel route is same as the one I took on my way here, except backwards. Within 24 hours from now, I’ll be in giga loads of work. I’ve already missed out a weeks worth of class in my new semester and I’d have to work really hard to catch up on it. Once I get the pressure building, I’m sure I’ll manage.

Last night, didn’t turn out as expected. We had a gang fight in our neighborhood, it was meant to be a one on one fight between my friend and some punk from the other. Some other guy tried to pick a fight with me too since I was in support of my friend, but we were pulled apart before something really happened. Thank goodness I wasn’t high. And as you all know, in street fights, there are no rules. Anything goes. We showed them who is dominant around here. My friend knocked the living day lights out of him while my friend had torn his jeans, shirt and had couple of bruises here and there, and oh! a cut lip too. The fight was over, but we weren’t over. No one really “won” here since both were still standing. At around 8′ at night, we called it a day and planned to do this some other time. I feel pity for them, they are mostly high-school drop-outs fighting for dominance which should actually be the least of their concerns. I hang around with them since they are, after all my friends. I’m sure most of them will either end up in jails or will be running for the rest of their lives. I’m just sad that my old school buddies turned out to be wanna-be gangsters. Then again, I don’t know if there is anyone capable of making them understand that the world is bigger than the street.

I was actually worried more about today. I’m bit tensed right now about the trip back home tonight. I have no idea why I’m worried since traveling was one of my most favorite things. I’m just sitting here, biting my nails and waiting for midnight to come.

I might blog once I’m in Dubai since my connecting flight is 6 hours away from my arrival in Dubai. But then again, I might not get any time because I have major shopping to do in DXB Duty free =]

Ruben is really bored. So you can email him by clicking here.
