In search of a bear hug

Sometimes, I feel superior to everyone else. Happens pretty often. It's not always a wonderful feeling, but it's not terrible either.

People advise. But you don't want it. People sympathise. But you don't want that either. People try to get into your shoes - but hell, it's not one size fits all.

There are stories and there are stories. Some aren't mine to tell. Some are, but I don't want to tell them - not to everyone, maybe not even to anyone. So many stories, and yet the ones you record, aren't quite real. Fiction is so much happier and just than real life - so much easier to understand.

I wish my father were Baloo the Bear. But he's not. And life goes on.

House hunting

I'm in the mood to buy a house. 1 BHK. I don't have the money. I'll have to take a loan, make my father stand gurantor, and find a cheap house. Centrally located. Within the city (Kolkata). No suburbs please. Consider this a 'Flat Wanted' ad. Lemme know if you know of any. I'm interested.
