The Heart Connection

So finally now I am in India... and all those thoughts how it is going to be when I will be back and blah blah blah.... Those thoughts I am actually living now...

Yes I am back to my home town.. I am with my family and my friends... weather is good... its monsoon... Pune can't better than this in this weather... but I am missing something... I am lost... lost somewhere in thoughts.... lost deep down... I am happy but sad.... I am present but lost... I am Me but I am not...

I confess... Yes I miss UK... more than anything.....But one thing for sure I am not going Ga Ga over UK... I am not boring people around me with the stories of UK... I am missing that place and its in my heart and in my mind... I can't express the reasons for missing UK because list will go on and on and on....

Sometimes places bind you and sometimes people bind you... but this time both the things bonded me... That's the magic of this country.... and in no time I got connected to this place just the way I was connected to Mumbai.... :-)

The thought of not knowing when I will be able to go back there makes me upset... but I know I will surely go... SOON Very SOON....

In the fairy tale place....

It feels like yesterday when i came to UK and today is a day Its time for me to go back to India. Visiting England was never my dream, yeah I do wanted to visit some places in Europe and Scotland which is ofcourse part of UK. (Like one of my friend used say I want to visit all yashraj movie places?;... ;-) ) 

11 long months just flew with lighting speed and i didnt even realize untill I started to recieve mails from IBM reminding me of my End Of Assignment... :-) loads of official claims, long mail chains of approvals, follow ups for claims and approvals, longggggg ... Very long list of shopping ( entire year i did shopping but i guess it wasn't enough.. :-) ), gifts for family and friends, end of tenancy process, packing, luggage weight constraints and list goes on and on and on..... In all these where was the time to think and feel bad about me leaving this country where I really really wanna stay... 

When I came to UK, I knew that I have to go back as soon as my VISA ends. But my sentimental heart didnt want to accept this bitter fact. And finally that day has arrived... 

These 11 months had been wonderful... Enjoyed the coldest weather of UK and scotland, made some friends for life,  lost some very good friends, met some old friends, lost and gained weight, made some resolutions and broke some, tried learning swimming and left it, visited some beautiful places of Uk and missed some, tried various cuisines, strated writing blog (thanks to my crazy friend for inspiring me), tried learning UK driving rules, learned the concept of leaving dos, enjoyed one of the most memorable experience of watching olympics live and what not...??!!!

In almost a year experienced different phases of life... 

There was a time I was surrounded by friends but many times I wanted my own time and then a time cane when I was lonesome and wanted people around but no one was there. Sometimes behaved like a child and sonetimes too mature, got pampered by friends and sometimes hated, missed family... I can just keep on writing and pages would not be sufficient...

I am leaving this place with no regrets, no hard feelings....

I still remember when 2 years back I moved from mumbai to pune, I was in luv with mumbai and i still am. And my mom and my friends used not like much me talking constantly about mumbai. But after going back from Uk I guess I am gonna talk all about this place as it has made me fall in luv with it. and I am glad that I am taking such lovely memories of this place and a HOPE of coming back soon.... :-)
