Homeward bound

I am not sure if anyone still reads this thing as i am a bit deliquent about updating. Anyway, FYI: heading to the US in less than two weeks. I have mixed feelings about leaving, but I am happy to see my family and friends after so long.

I was in Mumbai again just a few days ago and I remembered that exactly 20 years ago I was petrified of that city and now I love it and all of its chaos,and more importantly i feel at home there. Just as I have become comfortable in this country and have finally stoppped missing New York, I am leaving.

My mom claims that I am a wanderer and one of her favourite jokes about me and my sister that she tells people is that we were born with wheels on our feet. On some level this is true- just as I begin to stop thinking about my environment and seeing only what exists in my microcosm i become restless and seek change. This experience has been different in that I am very much entrenched in my personal life here, but I haven't stopped noticing the world around me. I love how alive and curious I feel all of the time. There is so much more to learn here and I am still open to learning . Hopefully I will create the chance to come back and live in this country again.
