'Mama' mia!

I feel like a mother who has been focusing too much on one of her many children! I've been so hooked to Flickr that I was neglecting this baby! Instincts got the better of me though and I'm back! So many things have happened in the last few days! I spoke to two of my old friends *at the same time* and we thought that would never happen! I cleaned my room and then messed it up again, my neighbours are suddenly being nice to me (I was very very suspicious initially, now I'm just beginning to accept it!) I sent away thirty five kilos worth of books home, have given my notice at work, preparing to say my good byes to this town which has been my 'home' for the past two years!

On one side, there is a resistance to change and on the other side, there is the wild rush of anticipation and excitement at coming back home!! It took me incessant rain to appreciate the sunshine. Its all packing time (very valid excuse for a very cluttered room!), shopping (no excuses needed!) and lots of nostalgia. Now all of a sudden the very annoying mist seems endearing! haha!
But, like they say, home is where the heart is and my heart is in India, Chennai!

The countdown begins!
