Our neighbours form the floor below, sent us chicken stew. I feel formally welcomed into the niche.
Yesterday, we did our first bit of socializing around the apartment, for pure selfish reasons. We needed to enquire about broadband connectivity, cable etc. Three weeks we had been here without bothering to peek into anybody’s house. Not even diwali wishing we did. Now my roomie was damn hell bent on getting these things enquired about, me was shying away. The reason not been anything to do with anti-socialising, I looked damn tired courtesy sleep deprivation. And I didn’t want to start off the new relations as a hangover ridden person. But, one’s gotta do what one’s gotta do.
So we went forth enquiring, sipping teas, gobbling diwali sweets and snacks, we even had to refuse an offer of juice…. Sigh…. Did it hurt. Nice evening of community chit-chat and in the end we even have our dinner sent off home. Was it yum? Yeah it was, but the thing which makes me happy is this exchange which happens. I love my neghbourly exchanges, I think they are a very wonderful part of community living.

No that can never happen. That was begginner's luck. I still think that was way too much of good karma, which i am sure i have enough off. Unke jaise padosi kahin fir nahin milenge.
