Don't feel like working.
Just don't feel like it at all today. It' s a beautiful day today, bright, sunny and yet not that hot. Guess where I have to be on this beautiful day... in the office!!!!!
Applied for my leave in August which got surprisingly approved at the first go. 1 whole month...aaaaahhh absolute bliss.
I don't know what this is.. I have lived abroad all my life, never felt the need of going back home.. for the past 2 years have been visiting India, and trust me, I don't know if this happens with the other NRIs but I feel great being back in my own country during my holidays, though I don't know much about the place.. It really feels nice. I don't know, it's a feeling that I just can't describe.
Previously, I must admit, wasn't too high on going back. The same thing most of the NRI kids face. Our own personal "Bisleri" bottle to be taken everywhere you go.Every single where you go!!! Could'nt eat off road sides shack , while your parents are hogging their guts off. Had to apply half a tube of "odomas"(hope that's the way it's spelt) before going to sleep, or you would wake up looking as if you've just got chicken pox. Getting tortured by the relatives who you never even knew existed ("Arre....tuuu....haiiiiiii... kitni badi ho gayi hai....pata hai.. tujhe sirf itna sa dekha tha..") hmm...whatever.
In the beginning, I could never understand why they had cows dividing the road for a two-way. Now I just smile. Don't even carry my personal water bottle, However, yes I do still apply half a tube of odomas :)
Those freaky relatives don't affect me anymore, the minute they start with their "Oh My God, How much have you grown" syndrome. I do retort on how old they've become too. *nasty*;)
But I did get to explore the place more for these last 2 years, and I absolutely loved it. Looking forward to go now. Now that I'll be settling there after marraige, it's sorta growing on me.
God.. all this writing about my leave has got me all excited....Sigh! another 2 1/2 months to go.
Can't wait!

there is no substitute to your own country or your birth place I feel.
enjoy your holiday and hope the days pass very soon. :-)
Hi, I've come back here after a long time. Why don't you blog regularly? I like what you write, and especially that post about women and their boyfriends. It's quite nice! Please do keep writing regularly....
And yeah, hope to see you soon, sis! ;)
