I was going through my LJ blog archives today. Went as far back as 2005. That blog was different. Posts were shorter, fresher, sometimes unintentionally pompous, sometimes intentionally cryptic, more honest, more me.
I miss being younger, being naive (though I would have never admitted it then), being busy, being surrounded by friends I could crib to. I miss anagrams. I miss Sam, PPS, pc. Lazy monsoon afternoons spent wordlessly in bed. I miss being wide-eyed with wonder, like I was when I visited NYC for the first time or wore my first LBD to Olive. I miss the time when being clueless was still cool.
I don’t miss the acne though.

This is what the (smouldering hot) Penelope Cruz says to (I-related-to-her-in-spirit-not-in-action) Scarlett Johansson in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Lovely movie.
Hmm, so what was I saying?

hmm, that’s what i like most about blogging, in fact. it lets one keep track. and after a few years, one wonders if one was a different person altogether, sometimes.
but then i think – if i hadn’t grown and just stayed the same person in stagnation – what would that say about me? change is good

Lose the masquerade girl. Being *you* is the easiest thing you can do!

@Neha: That’s true…i also look at my blog as a chronicle of my personality.
@pps: i never thought so earlier, maybe because i had never seen her in a full movie!
@Anirudh: of course i do…but i never blogged about you. this list was very blog- /IIT-specific
@Addy: Be careful what you wish for…you might unleash a monster

Hey Amrita
Need to ask you about something.
Could you tell me your mail id?
