Home again....

Finally!!!
Finally I’m posting after a hiatus….finally its raining like crazy here…finally I am home.

Today I do not have any string of thought or any opinion to express….Today it’s just a feeling I’d like to share….

I have been away from home for about 6 years now…almost felt like a guest in my own house…with delicacies being prepared every time I came, with tasks being listed down for every moment that I stayed, with relatives complaining my lack of social interaction during the few days that I graced my presence at home. Being at home was almost synonymous to holidays for me…..and somewhere deep down that wasn’t what I wanted. I wanted to be at home- literally and beyond.

So today that I am here….. (Touchwood) but I’m loving it. Screaming roadies, honking buses, water-logged streets, and humidity – no one in their right state of mind would call this bliss. But I do. I do because this is where I want to be….this is where I need to be…and this is where I have to be.

I doubt if I’m making much sense to readers…Pardon me for this abstract piece of writing…but as I said my “Sentience” shall only reflect my state of mind….and this is exactly how it is.

Yes, I am home.

i remembered my home while reading this.
Personally I don't like "Screaming roadies, honking buses, water-logged streets, and humidity" environs.I like silence and Nature.
But guess flowing against the tide is difficult, rather impossible.
Good to see u back after a hiatus.
cheers !

I knw exactly wer u r coming from.. having left my home 6 yrs back... first education den job.. i feel like an outsider at times in my own home.... am like an honoured guest!! everyone wants a glipmse of me.... am i not one of the family!! yes.. they say!! we are just happy to see after such a long time!!
but noo.... dats not wot i want!! i want the same indifference that allowed me to be myself!! i am expected to spend time talkingt o everyone... but that was never my nature.. now for goodwill's sake i have to do that!!
it's insane.... it's.... Life!!

Hi Priyanka,

Hope the rain and floods didn't affect anyone or anything precious to you.

Look after my home city, please!

Cheers

Hi Priyanka,

You might be interested in a post I wrote on Monday - about how I was part of the editorial team that helped launch `The Telegraph' on 7 July 1982 in Calcutta.

It's had some interesting feedback which is relevant to Calcutta ....

Cheers

David

Very touching.I know how it feels to be away from the home.But once you are in the corporate world - forget friends,forget relatives,forget home.
