Swades

Finally  ......The countdown to go home has started ..21 days left..after 3 long years..I would be home..My own home.My SWades..


I must confess that over the years the concept of home has changed for me and I started identifying and almost believing that

US is my home. Probaly This was my way to survive here..



I still remember when I was coming to US, all newly married and sitting at New Delhi airport , waiting to board the flight.



I felt it was the cross road of my life. At one hand there were flashes of my past life - my childhood, my parents, my brothers,

my collegee, friends and job which was all a sweet memory and on the other hand there was lot of anticipation and uncertainty - new country, new place,

new realtionship, no job in all a new life. And I saw that 17 hours long journey as a transition from that sweet old life to new uncertain life. I was nervous, petrified

excited, hopeful, dreamy, determined all at one time... There are few ocassions in your life when you have such heavy and mixed emotions playing in your head and heart and

you are not able to decide to feel happy/sad. So you just contemplate and contemplate and in that contemplation that 17 hours journey ended and I entered a new life..Life of US..





Cut Two:



I have to travel again, only the direction has changed from US to India.. I do not know if I would have time to contemplate while on airport (this time I have a company in my hubby) ..

but this is definitely a time for me to pause and think...what has gone by and what I am taking back home (well apart from Gifts ofcourse)..Well I am taking back lots of memories, lessons learnt, and why do I feel a

new "me" too. What lies ahead is "celebration", "chit-chats" , "Home", "Family", "Foodddddddd", "FUN" etc etc..



I am so looking forward to it..Bless me lord always...!!!
