Very Soon...

Very soon I will be entering a new phase of life - working in an alien city (London), living alone, going to gay pubs, bedding hot guys, having an independent life where I will be completely completely in charge of my own life, where there would be no mom to wash my clothes or dad to take care about household chores. Am I looking forward to it? Yes, I am!
Not that I haven't ever led such a life before. I was by myself during my 2 month internship (in London) last year. I still remember the long lonely walks to the Millennium Bridge and along the South Bank, that walk to BJ Swans, standing outside the pub for a good half an hour, wondering whether to go in or not, and then deciding against it and retracing my steps back to Bishopsgate. I remember being so exhausted after the long 12-hour work routine and having no energy left to cook that would eat some chips and fall asleep on the couch. I remember the positives of being alone and I remember the negatives of not having anyone who can take care of you.
But then it was a choice I had to make. It is high time I move out and look for that perfect guy who has been successfully evading me for the last 23 years. It is time I move to a society where being gay is a bit more acceptable, where I can go ahead and do all those things which would have been completely unimaginable had I stayed back in Delhi with my parents. It is time I meet more people like me, discover myself within me, let the gay guy within me breathe and get rid (that sounds rude, doesn't it? :P) of the claustrophobic Indian society. It is time I let myself live!
London, I will be there soon. But before that, Melbourne and New York beckon! :)
How I love travelling....hehehe!
