Restless feet...

It’s that time of the year again…when my feet get restless and itchy, and im raring to go. Go where??? Anywhere but where I am. Every year, I go through this life-changing (I wish) question and answer session with myself. It starts and ends with where next…
I guess it is the past which has shaped me in this regard. I have never lived in a single place beyond a stretch of five-six years. Only exception was Chennai for seven years. And, now with my 5th anniversary in Blore looming ahead of me (June 8th), I want to move on. After all there are places to go, people to see.

I have never been comfortable with the idea of “Settling down”, either tied to a single place, or single person. Sounds frivolous, but that’s the way it is. I wonder if I should look at returning to Chennai, its been seven years since I lived there for beyond a period of 7 days. Maybe Hyderabad, I love its malls. Or should I go back to Aamchi Mumbai??? The city that never sleeps? Sadly, the only place which I have a possibility of moving to is Gurgaon. And that’s the one city ill never move to. So, that rules my existing option out.

I was in Indore last week, albeit only for a day, and I loved it. More so because of the amazing food you get there, the fact that its malls look better than most Blore malls and the hang outs are open at least till midnight. And best of all, it is safe to shop around at 1030PM with no escort because the evening has just started. Despite that, I cant imagine living there for beyond a period of a few months…
So where does that leave me? With restless feet. With wandering eyes and a inquisitive mind, it’s a good idea for me to start looking for a different city to live in. To get used to. To set up house in. Till the restless feet strike again
