A decade of continous travels more than often,takes it's toll on u(specially ven more than often the travels r work related ,which has been my case).No regrets though...over the years i've roamed as a 17 yr old ,alone in the streets of paris(i still remember my confused commute from ORLY QUEST to CHARLES DE GAULLE and then on to the bus stop near GARE MONTPARNASSE ,where all i cud do was gaze at the parisian lights and fast movin peugeots,renaults and citroens...
or as a 21 yr old in BUDAPEST,who came across a mr rudan{a retired polish engineer frm austria who completely went out of his way along wth his romanian wife 2 help a poor indian kid frm noida jes becos they cud somehow relate to him as their only(JUNKIE) daughter who left home and in their hopes was a nun in some church in germany...and 2 years later they came lookin for me at my workplace in casablanca wth jes a pic of mine wth them,askin everyone abt my whereabouts just wth the intention of seein me...and ven i finally met them,all i did was spend 20 mins wth them,gave them some cheap indian handcrafted goodies as gift and promised to see them for dinner dat very day but never did...and that was the last i ever heard frm them...but i do think of dat old couple frm time to time)
well homies and me ladies... if i start sharin every minute detail of my brain-restored travels,it wud really be a pain in my arse writin,and your's readin...
Comin back 2 the gist of this blog...over the years and even still,i come across new and interesting people and things literally everyday...but it's the urge of spendin more and more time with your ageing parents,ur family and ur friends bck home and the very air dat makes u feel at home(and i know the same air is filled wth pollution,goddamn summer power-cuts,blood suckin mosquitoes,hot damsels difficult to score wth for an average joe like me{which has not been the case overseas ;) } and a lotta other things which makes u think otherwise),dat makes me wanna go back...
(and i do know this very blog is the aftereffect of a mixture of alcoholic beverages and some very irrelevant company for a good 3 hrs and i do know once bck home this very feeling will last a month or two...cos after dat u get sick of home instead of home sick)...
at this very instance(dats 00:30 G.M.T),i feel....and dats frm the bottom of my heart...really really HOMESICK
