My Pune experience

Hi guys.. Uncle Ket had told me to write about my experience in Pune.. so here goes... Initially when Prakash anne had told me about what it would be like i thought it was going to be all enjoyable and full of fun... lepak and stuff... but when i went there, it was a totally new experience. I felt kinda alienated from the rest of the people there and... u know, living alone in a bachelor's hostel... sharing a room with total strangers... no TFA... it was kinda hard to live with... and all i did was practice tabla for 3-5 hours everyday (of course not all at one go). I was kinda of stripped away from all the other things i like... the people, language, lifestyle i was familiar with and comfortable in... all that was juz taken away for those two months and it seemed like eternity everyday... honestly...deep down... couldn't wait to come back.

but i stayed on and made the decision to stay back that extra three weeks which was actually the time i benefited from most (tabla wise)... and the thing is i came back and read somewhere that the best choices we make are sometimes the most difficult ones... and well, i'm happy i made that descision and am actually proud for having made a decision and stuck with it no matter what the odds, for the first time of my life. I'll type in the details from my journal later... gtg... i'm blogging from college... first day...

The orientation makes me feel that this course is challenging... exciting and fun... adios amigo.
madman.
