More than a fortnight since I have nicely seen internet. Life’s difficult being away from your parents. I couldn’t get my laptop until this Saturday just because dad couldn’t find time from his job to come a hundred miles to me in Chandigarh from my hometown, Hoshiarpur. And all this time I had this realization for this short yet seemingly unending period of time, again, as the last two years after my tenth grade that I was away from home, for my senior secondary certification course. This realization about how incomplete I was without a system and the internet. I didn’t require a laptop for anything that could help me in studies anyway, the last two years. But, now that I am in an Engineering College in Computer Sciences and Engineering department, I have got my very life in the form of a laptop and the 9 to 5 of (wi-fi in) college.

Only I know what hard time it was for me after I came to Chandigarh on 31^st of July for my college. I missed typing all those thoughts that I’d want to share with my audiences… And I often noticed my fingers moving in the fashion of movement on my keyboard as I sat idling away my free lectures at college or when studying the subjects taught to me at college, at home. Did I mention the dream that I had a few nights back in which I had got the world’s most powerful laptop (Now I really don’t know which one is that…) and my day was of 30 hours as compared to 24 hours for the rest so I could spend all the more time on MY INTERNET and John Chow’s total earning was just a fraction of my dream’s last-month AdSense revenue. But today I am more than happy and content. I am back and back in form.

All aside, there’s something that has kept me wondering. Did I really live through all these days without my life? God! Don’t let this be a dream, please.
