Homecoming & Hiatus


So we're going to leave MICA. On the 24th we leave here for Mumbai, and then we'll be back on Singaporean soil on the 30th.

And then that would be the end of, dare I say it, 126 wonderful days in India. And no, for all of you who still can't grasp the notion of when I'm joking, being sarcastic or just musing, I have actually enjoyed my time here. And will do so again in the far future.

But for now, it's time to begin the drowsy end of a long work day, close the register, stack the chairs, clean the place up, and savour the moments as night gives way to day. Then turn the closing sign to show, leave the shop and close the door with a heavy heart.

Another day ends, with people met, a few regrets and tired feet. Step into the cold, breathe the chilled air, bask in the orange glow of the city and wait for the demons to drag you back to your reality.

You have been the best companion all this time, but sadly dear blog as I leave India I will have to leave you for a time, till next I find myself wandefussing across the globe, thinking to myself that perennial question:

What the hell am I doing here?

I bid you adieu, for now, for tonight, for today.

Because I still have 18 more days here in India. 12 more in MICA, 4 more till I have to make a presentation to the Director of the school regarding my experience here, and 1 more till we head to Pride Hotel for breakfast.

Goodnight, goodnight.
