Forces of Nature

Maybe it’s a combination of becoming increasingly lazy or increasingly tired ( I choose to believe the latter) I haven’t been blogging all that much. My friend was kind enough to point out that it had been more than a week and wanted to hear the different levels of drama I have encountered in Delhi...well let’s start with the biggest news so far...

Well I hope this doesn’t freak out my big brother too much but my apartment was broken into in broad day light. Luckily nothing was stolen and I was notified immediately. You see I guess in hindsight it was a smart thing that I was carrying all my things with me out of habit or if not I leave it locked up safely. My room was in complete disarray. My mattress had been lifted up. I guess the thief must have believed that my important things would have been hidden underneath the mattress. Old Indian habit I guess. But nothing was taken and since then, my landlord has provided me with a double bolted door for added security. My boss was kind enough to drop by later on and check in on my situation. Seriously, I think I am sort of force of nature...everywhere I go something happens! It’s been hardly 17 days and seriously bomb blasts, apartment break ins etc...I should really name this blog “ Hurricane Harini”.

But on a plus note, It has made me question- what is my tolerance level? This event didn’t faze me one bit actually. I carry on my life as I normally do. I wonder what will really push me over the edge. Mind you, I am not willing to find out anytime soon. Trust me.
