Up the creek, without a paddle!

I feel like I've been stranded in a desert with no sign of water. It's been exactly 9 months now that I've been in Gurgaon and it's the 4th time that I'm moving! After going through a hell lot of trouble, I finally found a place worth living in Gurgaon this time. Just when I had convinced myself that I'll never ever think of leaving this PG, come what may, I get kicked out! No..not literally of course! I'm too decent a girl to get kicked out of some place like that. :D B-) Actually,one fine day, when I thought I had every reason to smile, I got a message in my mobile (it rhymed!!) that the story is not over yet, my child(yeah, this time I did it to make it rhyme). Coming straight to the point now, the PG owner sent us a message telling us that he's closing down the PG. :( I have to look for a place yet again! Aaarrgggghhh! I so hate house hunting and that too in a place like Gurgaon! People just want to make money here. They'll have 3 beds in a match-box sized room and one almirah very conveniently parted into two so that two people can have each half! And the poor third one(which somehow would always be me!) gets an almirah, the size of a shoerack! :-/ Getting a flat on rent is even more difficult. There rents are sky-high! I wish it was possible to just pitch a tent wherever you wanted to and lead a happy life. :(

Let's see where do I find a shelter next. Until then, I'll keep cursing Gurgaon for being such a pain! :-/

Now some updates. Let's start with the to-do list that I promised last time but never came up with. That's cuz nothing has changed since then. I'm yet to finish Catch-22. I get so busy lazying around in my free time that I hardly get time to read it. But, my vow still holds strong. I'll read that novel till the end. And until then I'll not think of any other novel even in my dreams! Coming to the movie, Robot. Whenever I got a chance to watch it, I forgot that I wanted to watch it. So, its still there. The only new thing added to the list is "kill a few people". The task is as simple as that, I just have to figure out how to do that so that I don't get caught.

Coming to the third topic that's been in my posts for a while now. Learning. What have I learnt next? I learnt, rather realized that I'm out of college now. Yes. 9 months in Google and I realize it now. But, better late than never. :) I was so used to getting spoon-fed by my parents, my brother that it took me a good 9 months time to understand that I have to take care of me, myself. Didn't realize that nobody is gonna come here to help me get up when I fall down. People won't be so cruel as to walk over you but yaa it'd get too late by the time someone actually would come to help you stand up on your own feet.
So, lesson learnt: Grow up. Oops! I've already grown up. Its time to start acting like one! :D

Btw, just for the record I'd like to mention that the whole thing about going through trouble in finding the current PG that I said "I" went through was not all correct. Actually, who went through all that trouble were my parents nd my bro. I had little role to play. (That was a part of spoon feeding process too.) I just wanted to have a clear conscience. So, just mentioned it. :P
