Home Sweet Home

Even the hardiest of nomads can't deny the transient joy of home sweet home.

After six weeks of a romp around the sub-continent, it's good to be back in Chennai. Finally days spent meaningfully - getting pedicures, reading comic books, organizing my mp3s, experimenting with tropical smoothies, counting the coconut trees I can see from my window. Ahhh.

I think the key word is 'transient'. It's so much easier to just kick back and relax when you know it's finite... and when you know what's next. (Making January so much more bearable than the misery that was November - what with reverse culture shock, severe HKsickness, unemployment and all)

Decided to join up with fellow children of the revolution, them wonderful folks at 'Global Entrepreneurs.' Feb 18 - Easter in Norway for training, and then a 11 month stint based in Bogota, Colombia.

I'm excited as hell. Mostly. And then there are times when I think 'OHHMYGAWDD WHAT AM I DOING???'. But its never as much fun when everything quite adds up, is it? ; ) I love the look on people's faces when I tell them - most Indians simply cannot fathom why on Earth someone would chose of their own volition to go to Colombia. People here thought I was totally off my rocker when I chose Hong Kong over NYC as a traineeship destination!! So you can just imagine.
Well, I can't wait to get to Bogota. But the meantime, it's back to holidaying... sigh... : )

Naaz..am not sure you remember me from JNC in 2002. Inspite of those inhuman levels of inebriation that were successfully maintained throughout, my memory will never forget that conference, for a variety of reasons.
Bem vindo! Love the blog.

You Indian goddess you!!! Oh boy, do I miss you and your DEVOTION! People come and people go on this HK island, but never did it have such wonderful Indians as you (and Sodd-off, off course :)

I'm watching you, babe. *Toasting a long island in your direction* Have a blast in the Netherlands and Colombia!
