There and back again

Its been a long time since I last visited Vienna and yesterday while roaming the same streets I felt like having a deja vu, though believe me the city has transformed a lot from being beautiful to awesome. It just leaves you spellbound with all its marvellous architecture, picturesque surroundings and serene atmosphere. Yet amongst all this 'chehal-pehal' in a city I love, I couldn't stop my heart from ailing as my longing to be in India came as a total surprise to me, considering the fact I despise Indian system so much. One never really understands completely the significance of what one has until sth occurs that devoids you of the thing you always took for granted. I don't mean to sound all mushy now coz I know its a phase that'll soon fade out, but its just that wanting to be in India again - that feeling - was totally alien to me till yesterday. More so coz of the fact that everywhere I turn there's not a familiar Indian face to look at but the strange gestures a few ppl here make when they come across an Asian (God !! when will these ppl ever grow up ;-) )

Am finding it a bit difficult to express my true feelings right now coz am caught up with that same home-sickness which I try to steer clear of every now and then. The ppl here have been really polite and helpful plus I got to make 4 Indian friends all of whom are jovial - not the khadoos sort :P - but still there's a corner of my heart that sinks heavy at the very thought of being so far away from home. It seems like am falling into an abyss and the more I struggle to get out of it, the more I get sucked in and tortured till I give in to the circumstances. Okay am getting off topic here, but still would have loved to enjoy the moment and not have to worry abt India :P I know it sounds a bit silly, but then that's who I am :D

Again bored you all na LOL Don't worry you're gonna get that a lot now that I have an excellent workstation to work on ;-)
