Sitting here amidst all the things that need to be shifted to another apartment I feel so heavy at heart to leave from this apartment. This is not the first time I have shifted a house/apartment, but I feel the same every time. This time it is difficult to leave the apartment in which I have lived for two years, with fond good, bad, ugly and sweet memories. I booked this apartment walking up the hill to the leasing center with the aura freshness and newness (I don't know if there is such a word in English :P) all around me when I had just arrived in the US. Its hard to believe that it is already 2 years. The memories are so fresh. Spent early days with so many friends all the time coming home. I can remember me giving so many curses to the up hill every time I walked up. No more cursing :(
The little arguments with roomies (the usual thing for gals), making new friends, enjoying the arrival of juniors, helping them with accommodation and studies. The Indian students association ..... hmm ... it was good and ugly ... :P
Now I can't stop mentioning about the breezing thought that went by .... two of my dearest friends and I sat atop the carriage hill and ate icreams bought from the speedway which is located just opposite to Carriage Hill ... Most wonderful moments, i don't even know if they are going to return ever in my life again :(
I can't forget the first winter, when I slipped and fell close to the apartment when it was too icy to walk on the road. All the eat outs all around the apartment, taco, pizza hut, purple chopstix, McHappys. Oh, not to forget the walk to the school all the way from home. Some times with friends and sometimes just me! Every moment is just so fresh and worth treasuring. How I wish someone would come and tell me "you don't have to leave this right away!!". I know I am going to miss Carriage Hill ...... I am gonna live away form my favorite place and favorite people too .... :(
But I realize that life is always like this .... bring a big U turn when you are all cozy and comfortable with life. But we move on hoping that the U turn gets us to a much greener grass place!!!
Goodbye Carriage Hill :(
