I'm having mixed emotions.

Am I happy or pissed? Or just sad.

Well, I dunno. I'm happy to be here. I'm pissed my sister got and iPod touch. And I'm sad about a lot of things.

And about my sister getting an iPod, you might think I'm jealous. Well, I am. A little. But I got quite pissed because I know my sister. Much better than my mom and dad. I might not necessarily like her much, but I know her mind inside out. And as every year passes, I see her becoming more and more like ME. It's not that I hate myself, I just don't want my siblings to become the horrible person that I am while growing up.

This morning, I also saw one of my great grandmothers. My maternal grandfather's mom. I don't know what happened to her, but she was really ill last year. Then a few months later, she got a little better. She's at home now usually on the hospital bed they bought for her. She can't get up. When we went to meet her today, she asked us who my siblings and I were. My mom told her that we were her children. Then my mom introduced us, told her our ages, and then my great grandmother asked if my sister and I were twins. A lot like this went on, asking my mom if she was married and if her sister in laws were married and so on. And it made me wanna cry. Seeing her condition just made me really sad.

Also, I would love to tell you guys about my airplane trip, but I think it would have to wait. I'm really in a hurry right now since we are just traveling here and there. I have to go to my origin town on the 24th.

If you're confused, I'm living in my HOMETOWN. My origin town is in a different state. Long, long ago, Irsnian traders came to my origin town to do trade, married the people living there and settled in that town. Then a language was formed which is a mix of Konkani, Marathi, (Two indian languages) Persian, Arabic and a few other Indian languages. Then years later, a man (who was my dad's OR my mom's great grandfather) came to another city in the state of Kerala, (The state where I'm actually from is Karnataka.) and settled there. Soon, many other people of our family also came and settled in the city. And I lived my first 10 months here.

I like my origin town, but I LOVE my hometown.

Anyway, I'd love to tell you a lot of stories, and a lot are overdue, but the wifi is really hard to get here.

I'm updating this 2 hours later because the electricity went out.

Anyway, I'll probably update by the end of the year. So bye for now.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Whatever.
