US Election 2008 - Live result
This is a family blog of Surya, Shailu and Suresh
After a long and hard battle between my mind and my heart, i guess my mind finally won. Yes, i finally managed to convince myself to come back to India. It wasn't easy for me and it is not easy now to even think i did this. Only time has to put me in perspective. I still cannot forget every thing i left behind, Friends, Work, Apartment, Driving in US, All the place that i visited and all the places i haven't visited yet. This list can go on and on. But what is important now, is i am here and that i have to work hard to integrate.
A new addition to our family.
Its almost 30 days since Shailu and Surya left to India and i am grappling between the though that they are not around to relax with and all the tasks i have to do at work. On top of this comes the in-evitable packing for the big ADIEU.
Packing aside, what's more difficult is the choice i have to make between keeping something and throwing that which i bought after so much tought and careful selection. Believe me its heart wrecking. And then there is things like Work/Experience documents, Medical documents etc etc, which i don't want to haul but have no choice.
So after all these years here i am cornered by my own choice of things, that sometimes feel like they are alive and looking at me with a sad face and as-if asking me .. "Are you really going to throw me out".
Act of emotions can only control me upto the point when baggage runs out of room. Once its full i have to harden my heart and through out the rest. Hopefully they will find a new taker before they hit the Chop-Shop.
P.S. I have paid for extra baggage (2 to be precise) to haul some more.
Today Shailu and Surya are heading back to India for good. Its been 4 yrs for her in US and she already feels this place her home. And like all, she is leaving with a heavy heart. She may want to be in India but i can tell that some part of her heart will always not leave Fort Worth, TX-US. I can understand that, after all the feeling is mutual.
Today surya did something new.
