Homesick!

• Smell of ma's biryani
• Sound of loud thunder during crazy Mangalore monsoon
• Kori rotti
• Neer dosa with fish curry
• Smell after the first rain
• Walking home from college soaking wet with an umbrella which just acts as a feel good factor and does nothing to keep you dry
• My crazy pup(5 yrs old actually) which cant stop rubbing its head onto the floor if any perfume/deodorant/talcum powder is used
• Ma's huge collection of diya's, Ganesh statues and loads of irrelevant figurines all displayed and crammed into the living room solely for the viewing pleasure of our guests
• My loony friends, those guys would never leave home once they got it in
• The new year ritual at my place where all the "guys" used to meet up at Panambur beach, and I had to go there and lead them home, 2004 new yr had 12 bikes outside my house
• Making chicken tikka on the roof with ma and bro again 2004 record was 25 chickens’ tikkofied and playing bingo, with ma winning all of our money! She made up for the loss by asking my bro to get 2 crates of beer for the guys since they were behaving so well! And what do I have to do deserve that drink?
• Dad's yearly visit and he gifting me the most terrible perfumes ever, which used to give me a blinding headache! But I hugged him anyway :)
• Riding to the secluded private beach to sit on the rocks and watch the sun go down ever so often and always alone
• The eat outs at namma kudla
• Fried ice cream from Hao Ming :( (Dear God! I’m gonna weep now )
• Impulsive trips on bikes with the guys to Bekal Fort, and out usual adda-Pilikula!
• Sanna(Yeast risen Idli's) and dukre maas(Pork curry), a speciality typically made on occasion at any Christian household in Mangalore
• Neo and our late nit yahoo chats
• Elections celebrations at my college
• College Strikes :)
• Organising Inter College Events, managing to win once in a while in such event to feel proud about my college :)
• Spending a few hours in the small church close to my place alone with no one there just to absorb the silence
• Smell on blowing out a matchstick
• Daff and the late night talks when she stays over at my place
• Gaming! I miss playing CS on the network with guys... Omg! I miss it soo much, it was soo amusing to kick their ass and listen to them swearing
• Finding out about bro's list of gf's from sources and later hint and tease when mom's around :)
