Found this post browsing through Daisy's old posts. This is another thing I have so much to talk about - but don't have the energy or patience right now to figure out my thoughts about it.
My problem seems to be more that I'm shit scared about not being able to survive in Delhi after living here. I never could live in Delhi, despite how much I love it. The only difference now is that I have seen and lived in an alternative world, which is much better in many many ways. But I know I'll go back. And I know I'll live in that chaos. And I will love it even more than before. Only that I won't be able to live in the house that I grew up in, and live the life that I outgrew at twenty two when I came here.
That's all I have to say...for now :)

Yeah- istn it sad that we could never ever go back to that life we left? I have lived in the US for 5.5 years and I yearn to go back to the life I once left behind- but the hard thing is evrything back home has changed and moved on...It sometimes scares me that I will never feel like US is my home and I can never go back to the home I left behind all those years ago...
i feel exactly like that in six months of being here!
here's an attempt at expressing this - http://iyearn.blogspot.com/2008/01/blog-post_21.html
" Here I am , this is me, there is no where else on earth I would rather be" It might be a better world but it is an "alternative' world and it will never be my world.
@djinn: I agree. I think I'm just being too pessimistic.
Thanks for stopping by :)
Pleasure is all mine :)
