The Repentance

It was the best of the times, it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of the foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness,
it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,
we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,
We were all going direct to Heaven,we were all going direct the other way
- in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

(An excerpt from "A Tale of Two Cities" By Charles Dickens.)

What a writing...this enticed we to pick the book, the moment i got my eyes on the starting phrase. Helluva... it was just not an ordinary purchase, but marks my graduation to classics. They say its good to take a break but I 'll like to add, if you come out of the break with something more interesting and substantial then only you had a successful break.

So here I am, just out of a hectic quarter which have burned me to my weirdest idiosyncrasy. I have not read a book for a while. Over it, I have not blogged since ages. What can be a better way to repent than to start over to reading classics and a promise to blog regularly.

Just back from a trip to Mumbai. I was there to give my CFA level1 exam, but after exam got some time to visit the old hangouts and refresh the memories of past. Especially the ones which I am missing currently. The trip made me closer to Mumbai. As of now I am about to complete 2 years in Gurgaon, and from my experience I can say living here is atleast 4 times easier than a comparable living in Mumbai. But still I believe if given an option I will always choose Mumbai over Delhi. I don't know weather it is just kind of my first love for Mumbai or is it my abhorence to this cosmic city of Gurgaon. But I will like to stay in mumbai for an extended period. I am earnestly waiting for the right opportunity. OH Dear God, let it come as fast as light.
