i'm going back home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally the time has come to bid oslo adieu! it has been a fun year and half, oslo, thanks for that, but you cannot believe how ecstatic i am to go back home! it would have been nicer, maybe, if i could have worked here. or if i could have had family close by. but i made some nice friends, had a great time traipsing around europe a bit, and generally got to live somewhere outside india with minimal fuss. oslo is a peaceful, uncrowded town with wonderfully polite people. we've genuinely not come by such good manners and such nice smiles anywhere else in europe. it's clean and beautiful too, especially in summer. but gimme hot sun any day! and to think i always thought of myself as a winter person till i came here! i guess it's difficult for indian people to adjust to the long, cold, dark winter months, and to think it's a hot day if it's 17 degrees C!
and so it's back to the mad rush and struggle of life that is india - yeh jo des hai mera! :)
