Was the last post tearful or did it seem that I am on the brink of doomsday ?
It did to me, in a way. Because a part of me is really sad. But then I have so many other functioning parts that the sadoo sad part feels really lonely now. Hence the happy post!
Today was talking to a friend and we were discussing what I will miss the most about the US. In my humble opinion clothes from forever 21 and H&M (that was my spontaneous reply) until she made me realize the internet and guacamole.
Internet. Hmm. I think I will be able to live with broadbands. Cos I will have real people around. Tuk Tuk :P
Guacamole. Hmm. I will really miss thee :( Farmers in India please start producing avocados! You will have one dedicated consumer for sure! But then Krishna told me that they do grow/sell avocados back home. I must find out where!
I will also miss pouring 2% milk from the can and making microwaved coffee (the art which I had perfected for my taste) and drinking in the day which passed by and feeling good about the day which lies ahead. How profound. (We are into homeopathic medicines at home, and hence there is restriction on the amount of coffee I can consume on a daily basis. Plus the hot weather adds to the woes. I really hope Aai-baba read this and let me drink coffee everyday :P) Hence the deep connections :D
I will miss my comforter if I have too much baggage and can't take it home. :( Kindly don't roll your eyes. I am normally allergic to blankets back home. So my snot (allergy) free 2 years are a fond memory of the comforter. And hence the keenness on taking it back with oneself.
I will miss these crazy bunch of girls from Dallas. And grocery shopping at 12 in the night with them. I also bought myself a tinker bell tee (which prompted other 2 friends to buy one as well :D) as a souvenir to remind me of the happy days spent in Texas.
And before the list grows too long and the happy mood switches back to cold feet, I will stop.
But my mood already got spoilt when earlier today I read the extra bag charges on air india website. They should consider special cases and let people carry as much baggage as they want. I am also considering of convincing them by saying my excess baggage compensates for me being weightless. You guys think they might listen ?
