Home Coming..

A friend once told me, if you want to write, start thinking as to how you will begin because that is the most difficult part!
So true, even in respect to life…….
Once a start is made, you will reach your destination even if the journey is arduous, as long as you honestly want to make it !

It was only a year back I left home to make new ventures, wanting a lot more than what I was doing at that time. I longed to run away from all securities of my home because I wanted to grow and experience living on my own. And grow I did in ways I can’t put down in just one blog.

Initially everything appeared fantastic, then came a phase when I started comparing India to UK and missed everything in India from hearing the whirling sound of the fan or the honking of cars to absolute silence, from abundance of sunlight to practically none, from a land of govinda colours to just dull dark ones, from hearing about Manmohan Singh to Tony Blair and the FOOD for sure!!….BUT, little by little adapted to all of that and more. Adapted so well that I might just end up saying ‘please, thank you or sorry’ to a beggar:)

As I was to board the flight back home I started to wonder whether I would find myself a misfit at home..A silly, ridiculous thought for sure and I should be smacked for even thinking such a thing. Im glad that it was just a thought because it felt great as soon as I landed in Ahmedabad or should I say Gujjuland and Im Loving It;). It was overwhelming to see mom, dad and my brother at the airport after a year away from home. Inspite of a 20 hour travel and it being 3 in the morning all of us ended up chatting till the early hours of the morning..I woke up to sights, sounds and smells which are so much a part of me that no amount of time away can erase it!!

Right now I feel absolute BLISS sitting at my favourite place in the house drinking mom made cold coffee instead of a hot chocolate and eating a five star bar instead of a mars bar. I am still lost in my thoughts and there is lots to reflect on but my reasons for going away still exist infact there are a few more now.I still believe if you really want something the entire universe will conspire in giving it you.

Im just bracing myself for another year of trials and tribulations..and...there is no place better than HOME to do that...!!!!!
