(Very incoherent, Very random.. depicting very well, the current state of my mind..).
.. since I saw my family..
.. since I took a breath of Indian air...
.. since I touched Indian soil (Background music: Yeh jo des hai mera... Swades....la..laa )
YESS! It's one year since I set foot in the United States! Yes, it was on the 27th of August, 2007.. when a major blissful idiot with a dumb grin.. who had no clue what was coming, landed. Three academic quarters went by.. They can best be described as "Whoosh", "Whoosh" and yeah, "Whoosh".
Still, it's been the most eventful year of my life, a year of rich learning experiences of all sorts.
It's one year since I saw some dear friends who helped me when I first came here. I am very grateful to them..
It's one year since I saw the people who are responsible for my existence and for my being what I am (I do hope they don't regret it :P).
With NO change in the levels whatsoever, of love, affection, and attachment, I feel like I've finally let go of them in terms of dependence for every other thing.. and that's such an important milestone..
Thanks! All the people who helped me make it here.
And Thanks! All the people here, who've been there for me at all times, good and bad, because of whom I run back "home" to Palo Alto every other weekend..!! :P they know who they are and they're most probably reading this right now :)
Love you all!
