Missing home, so i blog again

I'm back. May be late, but i am back.
It was so refreshing to read my blogs which i wrote more than an year ago.
As i read it, I was living each and every moment of it. Life has totally changed.
Now I am in US, writing this blog from my Blog while it snowing outside.
My first flight travel, my first thanksgiving purchase, my first snow bowling, my first beer, my first vodka, my first shot and i stopped there :)
Had been through difficult times expecting that a day would come where i am left with so much space in my mind to think about, well nothing. I meant peace :)
Now, for the first time i am away home and managing my own things. Now, for breakfast its corn flakes instead of amma's coffee, for lunch its Veg burritto instead of thayir satham. Life is different and i always look at it with a wonder and take it as it comes.

Whenever someone asks how my life is at US, i tell them that its 5 days of hectic work and 2 days of total fun. Theres a whole bunch of friends to get together at someones apartment and enjoy the weekend. But as the days move, amidst all these work and fun, i couldnt force my mind to think about my home. But the heart alone travels thousands of miles and proves me that i miss home definitely.

Life is comfortable here, you dont need to move any muscle unnecessarily. Its just the perfect place where everything is in order and runs as expected. Whew! my mind loves this place. But the heart is silent and it needs something else. Its been months, i realized yesterday after a long time i chanted Pullayars name. No friends, just neighbors and colleagues. Neighbors because, we live in the same community and we dont know anyone else so we get together :) Mind calculates every single purchase in dollars into rupees! Gone are the days when i wont even find a single rupee in my wallet and the calendar shows 26. Now i dont even have to think about money, i have more than what i need for a month. My mind has become void. So i am stopping here. Will be back very very soon.
