This is where I want to be right now......

The heat is on......

Hyderabad is incredibly hot, with the temperature rising by the day. I am not sure how long I can bear this. But I am trying to put up a brave face as of now. I keep thinking though, I have survived one summer each in Rajasthan and Gujarat. How come Andhra Pradesh is pulling me down like this? Someone told me recently that while we keep comlaining about the worsening weather, we forget that we are getting older. Is that the reason? Am I getting too old for the heat? Does our immunity system get worse in a matter of three years? Thats kind of hard to believe, right?

One good thing I noticed for my last year birthday was the absence of paranoa. 'Cause the year before that, I guess I lost it completely. I was actually depressed about reaching a particular age. Look at me, I still cant say my age..... What is wrong with me?

Now that I am here

I might as well write some more....
But the question is, what to write about? A good topic can be the name of this particular blogspot. And if I need to explain why its called 'hermitage', I will have to refer to Mr. Freud and his theory of subconscious.
Why? Here's why:
The word hermitage (HUHR-muh-tij\, noun) also means "A secluded residence; a retreat; a hideaway"
In the last one week, I have been feeling rather vague. Although I was in full throttle mode of existance, a growing fear was slowly creeping in. It was an unidentifiable fear, which kept pushing me to look for an escape.....The claustrophobia was begining to engulf me.... I felt I needed to run, or else.... or else I may explode.....

Well, honestly, I simply need a break. I need a nice vacation to pamper myself. So all that has been narrated above was just my innate need for drama in life... Kindly ignore.

Anyways, coming back to the dream of a vacation, I recently received a 'holiday plan' as free gift with a purchase. It was giving a package holiay offer for a family of four (3 nights, 2 days) in about 40 locations in India. But here's the catch: the fine print in the document says offer not valid for hill stations in summer and vise-versa. So much for a free vacation.......

Anyways, the point of this whole blabber is fairly simple. I need a break, a retreat. And I am broke. So, I try and find solace in a blog-spot. Am I loosing it?

So I begin...

I have been introduced to this blog culture by all my net-savvy friends. But being the net-averse soul that I am, I decided not to plunge into it right away. However, the enticement was probably too much, of having able to connect to more people at once..... and here I am.

Sitting in the office on a rather warm day, I dont think my mind can decipher the complicated threads of emotions that I am going through right now. Hence, I guess I shall give it a rest, go home, and eat..... Will resume this newly found 'hobby' tomorrow, or perhaps never.....
