Back in sunny Oxford but still have the India blues
It has been almost a month since I left India but India has never left me, or my heart! England has been most welcoming, with warm and sunny days that try to lure me back into its fast moving life.
I admit that since I returned I have not had a moment of silence, peace or meditation, always working, always studying, always somewhere to go and something to do. I feel tired but I also feel melancholic, I feel that some part of me is missing and yes, I miss India!
Even though I will hopefully return next summer, it seems like aeons from now. I am now busy planning my next adventures, including securing my work placement year that I want to undertake abroad, maybe in India, maybe in the US, maybe in Dubai, who knows where this theatre play called life will throw me. Nevertheless, I have other smaller adventures to look forward to, a week holiday back home in Romania and a weekend away backpacking in Poland for my 21st birthday.
More recent than my trips will come the reunion with all my friends on the UKIERI SIP programme at the beginning of November, where I hope to see all those beautiful and friendly faces that I have grown fond of during my Indian adventure. However, there is another little surprise, my American friend, that I met in India will be visiting after he finishes his term at Bodh Gaya, in December.
All of this means I have much to look forward too, but for now I will just be buried under tons of work, coursework and projects, see you on the flipside!
