Adieu Lille

Harish is finally done with his stay in Lille. Whether he enjoyed it as much as he thought he would is a debatable question. There are things he saw that he can boast to his grandchildren over early morning Hindu reading sessions. There are exquisite varieties of booze that he can brag about to his friends with the authority of an inveterate drinker. There are scenes that he believes he should rewind and play in his mind before the final countdown starts in his life. But yet, he largely regrets the decision to land in France. He didn't quite like the idea of spending in Euros. Exchange rate actually played partial spoilsport to his exchange term. While orkutting and cricinfoing found new impetus during his exchange term, Harish exhibited cravings for company on many an occasion. Solitude is blissful for Harish only when he chooses to realize it. Basically he is not a very steady or sane character as readers of the blog will already know. Otherwise, he briefly enjoyed cooking his own food, but soon lost enthu to do it on an everyday basis simply because, he shouldnt enjoy ANYTHING for long periods of time. Strange are the ways of people, stranger are the ways of Harish. One good thing that came out of his wane in enthu for cooking is his weightloss, atleast Harish insists so. It's up to the readers and others who see him in Chennai to verify this statement. Psychoism - a term coined by Harish's cousin - is not yet something Harish has totally lost, and he did exhibit bouts of that during times with and without company. And, stints with some of his hookah wingies in Lille were, in Harish's opinion, delightful. Excellent booze sessions with strong company is something he always liked didn't he. And finally, the fact that some of his best buddies will be in Chennai waiting to welcome him is so exciting for him. For that alone, he wants the last few minutes, that he tried spending by a gen blog entry, to speed past.
Au revoir only.
