Back down to earth

Well, it would always have turned out like this- post trip blues. And if this was like the trip of your life thus far, then the feeling is memorable in its own grievous way. I remember dragging my feet and my heart to SGH last Monday morning, and throughout the week. I don't usually form attachments easily but once I do it's hard to let them go.

I suppose the contrast can't be more drastic. One week travelling carefree around South India, and the next week-thud!- having to deal with postings and projects. But I suppose the honeymoon is over and I need to re-orientate myself to this strange new land which is Singapore. Quite a joke isn't it, feeling homesick in your own country.

I don't know if I miss India in itself or what it represents to me- which is the carefree stressless life. No expectations or obligations, no exams. Evenings are spent meeting people from around the globe, eating, facebooking, uploading pictures or at times, studying for interests' sake. I suppose once you've had a glimpse of heaven, everything else seems to pale in comparison.

Ok! Won't rant too much, just wanted to get some things off my chest. It's quite a busy week ahead. Sometimes I wonder about the consequences of letting my life be consumed by work, but seeing that I've had such a long period of slacking, I can't ask for much more
