nest hopping

Will be going home for just 4 days. Don’t have any more leave left! My parents are scared of the sweltering heat here so they would not come to visit me. So following the adage” If the mountain does not come to Mohamed than Mohamed shall go to the mountain”, i have decided to go there instead.

Next month, i would be shifting base again. Conflicting emotions. On one side, the excitement of being with him again; on the other side, the pain of leaving everything behind. Life over there is too organized for me to really enjoy. Not much of running around. No challenges to face. Maybe with him i would like it better.

But I would miss everything around-the heat, the dust, the crowd, the fight for everything. i would miss the project – the bantering with S, nagging and bullying everyone, of playing the big sister to all kids around. i would miss the security of knowing that home is just some hours away, i would miss my family, miss the crazy times with my sister. Boo hoo….

But, I have to pack up my bags and fly, yet again, from the safety of my nest.

Hey Gypsynupi,

Four days would be a pretty short stay and you would have such a little time for eveything.

But, still would you try to find time for coffee with me--blogger to blogger?

You know, imphal is a place which have a grand total of 200 broadband users(!) and getting here a chance to sip coffee with a fellow blogger will be an once-in-a-lifetime stuff.

This calls for a suspension of propriety for a while to bulldoze my way--I won't accept a 'no' from your side!!

echaandam:
Thanks for the offer of coffee (though it is not my favourite beverage!). But i have to turn it down. Maybe i can take a rain check?

Leishemba:
Thanks. This gypsy is on the verge of a new beginning. But, even for a gypsy, goodbye is always tough...

Ah! That beverage...

That beverage which have the temerity to leave a nasty stain on the white dresses of our hostess!

Next time, I should be more attentive and should not be carried away by any bulldozing moods.

Gods and ALL, let there be a 'NEXT TIME'!
