Every now and then, we all feel the need to get out and look for an adventure. When you are at home or work or even when you are browsing around, you are surrounded by people you know, or at-least people you have an acquaintance with.

But when I'm riding in the outskirts of my city and heading into nowhere; The sun is my only friend. It shows me the way, no one else. When he goes down, I keep riding until he comes back. I don't ask for directions to anyone anymore because I had trained myself not to, Because there is a different kind of pleasure when you are able to find your way home, all by yourself.

When I notice the road diverging out or when another road is formed from the one I'm on. I take it, tho I have never been there before. It took me only very little deliberation to get lost, I guess adventure is already in my blood.

I'm a stranger when I'm riding alone. I loose the self importance I give to myself when I see thousands of people on the way. I realize how each of us are just the same.

Last christmas was a cold one, this time it was even more.

College is closed for winter. Its always deserted but I like to go there and spend time alone. I spent the last two days alone in my dorm. There wasn't anyone around since everyone went home for vacation. I don't have a home to go to anyway. Sister is away and there isn't anyone in our house back home in kerala. I don't want to go to bahrain since dad would make everything worse and I wont be even this happy (the little happiness I have now). So my Yule was spent for the first time alone, in bangalore.

I like being alone. I'm more comfortable with myself than being with anyone else. I walk through the corridors at night, since thats the time I wake up. I spend alot of time talking to myself. I smoke more and watch the screen saver of my phone change shapes and colour hoping that it would stop and someone from my contact list would appear. I knew better not expect any calls, since no one likes to call the grinch.

I'm glad that they know that the grinch wont be fun to have along if you are celebrating the season the "christian way". I'm glad no one wished me. This just proves that my stands are pretty clear for everyone.

I just wish that christians would stop making the holiday into their own political agenda. The non-religious would also like to enjoy the holidays and winter solstice without the ridiculous decorations or santas.

>I still hate christmas.

I've just launched a new wordpress theme for the blog part of my website. The name Evelyn, meaning "little bird," is derived from the French name "Aveline" of the same meaning. Additionally, it can be traced back to the Germanic Ava (possibly meaning "desired") and the Latin avis ("bird").

Evelyn is my niece. Angeline's daughter. She is the sweet little face you see as the wallpaper in the cellphone. I got her a little tweety doll last week and it is so sweet to see her running around the apartment with it saying that she is flying.

Here is a little bird theme for our little tweet tweet. The theme is not available for download, sorry! Try out the new theme here.
