Suddenly there is a change in the weather, not only literally, but also figuratively. Everyone wants me to be back in Bangalore, both official and personally. I have been thinking about it for a few weeks now because its nearing a year in a couple of months and I need to decide what I am going to do after that. A slight hesitation on my part and every one pounced on me and as usual even before I can think of anything that would make my stay here a little longer, I am starting the process to move back.... Gosh!!! Talk of plans...
I have been going back and forth to Bangalore and Coimbatore every month with almost one or the other reasons. And my time here in Hyderabad has been pleasant and effective (more so officially than personally ;) ...please don't tell my manager). I have got new friends and I have been a little more open to new people and I am a year older now...that would mean more maturity to handle things and feelings. My alone time, with nothing to do, has allowed me to think a lot. I have been in Hyderabad during its best season ;), remember I escaped to Europe during its hottest months. Now its raining and colder (not like the biting cold of Bangalore..but a chilling cold).
I would definitely miss my close friend here. She has been a big support to me when I had no one and without her this place might not have been the same for me. Thank you dear, you know who you are :). I definitely owe a great deal to you. And remember to ping me when you come to Bangalore or Coimbatore. And once you are ready to go for trips let me know, we can plan something. You know that I have experience in handling kids now :).
When I needed a much needed break, people around me helped me get it with the least resistance and there were people around to help me with it too. I got to be alone and yet not lonely, which is primarily what I wanted in the first place along with some new faces and friends thrown in the equation. I finally got to see the Golconda Fort which I had missed during my initial stay 12 years ago. I would miss taking my niece to the zoo here which is much bigger than the one in Coimbatore or Bangalore. But anyways, I can take her whenever she is ready to travel with me alone. I am really thankful to all those people who helped me during my break and for my break.
Where I thought, it might another month or so to move out, now it seems like its gonna be a couple of weeks. Why is suddenly every one eager to move me back to Bangalore...??? I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and I wish that there is something good about to happen again ;)
I would always cherish my stay here in Hyderabad no matter given the limited amount of time. It was a cushion which made my emotional fall a little better and gave me time to come back with a bang. I have not cried even a single time for the older reasons which I used to have when I was in Bangalore. Going back now I know that I wont be the same person who left that place and that a new and slightly confident person is going to be back in my home. Sometimes its just a journey away from the normal flow of life that is needed to see a few things in perspective. That is the reason I love to travel once in a while, because that always give me a sense of discovery both emotionally and physically. I am sure that going back to Bangalore is just another leg of my journey and I feel that my destination is somewhere else. I might be wrong too..but that is just what I feel now.
