…so did my trip to India…after 4 weeks it was time to head back to Oslo. Was it perfect…not it was not…but what is? like i said in my earlier post…nothing is simple…but thats how life is…at least mine. Mom tells me thats how it has always been for my sis and me…things have never come easy to us…has always been a struggle. Strangely though i am not complaining anymore…guess i have come to accept it. Accept it and move on…and keep mind that the only constant in life is change.

Its 11:00 at night and i got a call from a friend to go out for some drinks…and for the first time since i got to norway i said NO. Dont know why…guess i am at peace and am tired of trying…maybe a bit too hard. Its a bit sad that i have given up on Oslo…but even i have my limits and i am pretty must at the end of it. Good thing is i am much relaxed now. Made some more prawns for dinner…will make some chicken tomorrow.

I have been reading Salman Rushdie’s “Midnight Childen”…initially i was really pissed of with the book but with some time now i am enjoying it…his style of writing is quite different. Not very easy but quite engaging. Must thank suri for recommending me the book.

This summer i was in Bombay for vacation. 1 month of awesomeness…this was planned so that i could be there for my childhood friend, kunals bday.

Booked my tickets, Finnair.

Packed a few cloths in a backpack…me likes to travel light.

Sat next to a latvian lady who was going to Bangalore…goto Helsinki…only to find out that the plane has been delayed by 5 hours…5 hours later 7 hours later goto Bombay.

It feels like i never left bay…its all so familiar…the sights…the smell…the people.

Took a rick…got home.

Home sweet home…
