It’s been two months now I’ve been in this shit place. When I say shit place, I mean Pune. Something bad is happening to me. I have become too familiar with the locality I live in. Like, back home, the road in front of my home was so familiar, like a vivid picture in my mind. Those pictures were so natural, they were like a crystal clear projection in my mind.

Now, those pictures have been replaced by pictures of this place, the place in front of the main gate, the road leading to my department. These days I don’t even think about Kolkata. I don’t think about Ruby, Gariahat, Park Street or College Street. They are like lost memories now. Shit! I don’t want this to happen. I would like it a lot if forever this place feels alien to me. I don’t ever want this place to feel familiar, I don’t want to call this place home.
