A conflict of emotions, it was disconcerting and calming, when I reached Detroit airport tonight, smiled and thought to myself, "It feels great to be back home."
Michigan is now home.
It was always only Madras.
But I have accepted that Michigan can be home too.

It wasn't a very good day for Parvathi, emotionally, physically and mentally.

25th November 2009
I've never been more at peace with life and myself. I am also very very happy.

If you are reading this, Thank you for leaving and never looking back.
I hope you're in a good place too in life.

I put my gloves on.

Spray alcohol on them.

Rub my hands together.

I am now ready for work.

My heart shall break when Oprah's show ends.

Everyone who knows me knows what a huge fan I am. If I had a bucket list, being a part of her Christmas or birthday special would've definitely topped the list.

Chicago is 5 hours away.

10 more months Parvathi. Make a goddamned trip!

Time's ticking.

Like any Chammathu Iyer Ponnu, I made chicken 65 today with Ed - the roomie.
We ate way too much while we were making it that at the end we just left our plates untouched and decided to pack it up for lunch tomorrow.
I'm stuffed.
But happy.
Fat feels good.

I am going to the City next week to meet the soon-to-be engaged best friend.
Its going to be my third trip there and I still haven't seen the Statue of Liberty.
I however, would like to make a fifth trip to Bar None.

I want to be a manatee when I grow up.
Literally.

Did I mention I downloaded Doom on my Iphone?
I'm happy.Very very happy.
I get goosebumps while I wait for the levels to load.
