Since my childhood I have never imagined my life outside India , chennai to be precise.
But God has made his own plans :-)
Previous blog , I had mentioned my mixed emotions after kausthu left for CA.
Now I ve joined him and this has made me the happiest person right now :-)
Life here is not much different to me from chennai.One major difference is that I am becoming a typical house wife, which is temporary.
Probably a break , in kausthu s words :-)
I am not missing Chennai much with him besides me.
But ofcourse I miss the crowded streets and cows and crows.
I miss my scooty and rides on the thunderbird.
I miss the weekend outings with my friends and the bday parties.
Though I do not go to many kutcheris, I will miss the december season concerts and hype and festive atmosphere which chennai is proud of!
I used to crib about my work, but i miss the early morning and late evening bus shuttles when i used to enjoi the solitude.
I miss the tea breaks and lunch breaks and evening snacks just before the shuttle.
I miss the late saturday brunch at home after watching a late night movie at satyam/inox on friday.
Tears pour down when I think of the lunch and dinner my mother(s) (god will not forgive me if i consider kausthu s mom as in law!!) fondly prepare for us when we are tired after an exhausted day at work.
I really miss those strong words of comfort which we recieve from our parents and the sense of closeness and affection which we feel in their presence.
I miss those days with my friends when we used to have hour long chats about nothing :-)
I miss my mother tongue and weekend visits to shirdi sai baba temple!!
Its too early, I know, but I miss dear chennai a lot!!!
Now for some good thoughts.
We have some really good friends here, his colleagues, who are ever ready to help us , whenever we need.
They make our lives easier here and our weekends fly when we are with them!!!
We are enjoying life here though life is not the same as in chennai.
Still this is a new phase which enriches our life with new experiences as we meet new people.
Waiting eagerly for the long weekend trip and more blogs to follow.
Signing off in a happy mood as only three days are left for the long weekend :-)
