Time is ticking fast..The days have taken their express train to eternity..Here I am with a mixed feeling of happiness, anxiety and a little sadness of leaving something good behind..All these feelings has been taking their highs and spending their own sweet time in my thoughts during the last few days leaving my poor mind perplexed at times..But the best part is I do enjoy each moment of these days..The happiness thoughts range from meeting all my loved ones back home , to be among with people whom I really know ,to experience the feel of the air which I am very much used to ,to experience the smell & taste of the native dishes etc etc.. But somewhere at the back of my happy thoughts a pain strikes in when I think about the good times that I had here. This small beautiful land in South America has never tried to adopt me or never have i tried to adapt to her. But there was always a goodness in her which attracted & comforted me.The silent beaches, the walk at Rambla, the clean surroundings, the NO-TRAFFIC roads, the goodness in the people here,their smiling faces (noone even think a second time to share a smile though you are a stranger), the simplicity and calmness with which they live their lives(As if the world will go on whatever happens ..Very different from what I have seen back home..Though it has its own disadvantages, I have liked it sometimes!!!) , the way they take care of themselves(even at the age of 70s), they way they love their dogs, the freedom that we have out here (to walk around places without eyes staring at you though you are an odd one out ), the sweetness & liberty with which people express their love to each other & the fascination that they have towards Indians & Indian Culture..Might be not now, but at some point of time, I would miss this country for sure for all its goodness!!! Right now, the clock is still ticking and I am counting my days..9 more to go..The countdown is on !!!
Brings back so many memories.. Wish time could take us back to those days.. :)
