Now you see him....Now you don't...

I'm back. After a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong break. Why the break?

Honestly, I've been feeling a little bit low on confidence. One reason being, I've been away from home for nearly 2 years and 3 months and am feeling very very homesick. There are other reasons too but sorry, I cant explain them here. Still feeling a bit low but not as down as some weeks back.

Anyways, the big news from my side is that I'll be leaving the shores of uncle Sam soon. Yes, I'm going home. Home to Mumbai, home to my motherland, home to my family. I'm so so excited about it. At last something to look forward to. I will be flying out on the 6th of March via Singapore. I'll be spending a couple of days in Singapore at my friend's place and then heading home.

So my shopping spree has started. I've already spent nearly 500 dollars in buying lots of stuff - mainly clothes and electronics. Bought a lot of T-shirts, jackets, track-pants, shirt and tie for my sister's husband, a DVD set of "I Love Lucy" the 1950s sitcom starring Lucille Ball for mom, wireless routers, rechargeable batteries and charger. Of course, this is discounting the fact that I had already bought a laptop for my sister. This is not all, there's lot of stuff more for me to buy and by the looks of it, I might end up spending all of my last month's salary on Shopping.

But all this is great fun. I'm starting to get more and more excited about my trip with the passing of each day.

Ram,

I have been through such stages as well buddy. Whatever the reason, don't let it pull you down any further.

It's great that you are looking forward to going home. Family can help loads such times. In the meantime, happy shopping and feel good asap. Cheer up. :)
