Hi,
In pj's, listening to Enigma and sitting on my bed writing this. Just came back from Ahmedabad this morning and while climbing the stairs upto my apartment, I realized this maybe the last time I am coming back from Ahmedabad to Keshod. I am here just for 2 more weeks, so having quite a bit of mixed feelings regarding that. While I have one more month in Ahmedabad after this, part of me still feels anxious that holy shit, just one more month. Today if Feb 16, and the technical finish date of my work. My work is nowhere near finished and I will be working on it even when am in Ahmedabad. I have to seriously buck up and get somethings done during this week.
But sometimes it can be so distracting, this silly mind starts wandering all over the place. I don't know what I will be doing once am back in Victoria. If all goes well, I will be in grad school by early September, but in the meanwhile, I don't know what I will do. Part of me suspects that I might get more lonely there in Victoria than I have been here in Keshod and especially Ahmedabad. So at the moment, just trying to get back in a frame of mind which has Victoria in it. At the same time, I find myself tightly holding on to my life here in Ahmedabad. Yes, I am looking forward to sitting on my couch on a lazy rainy day, with a warm cup of tea and a pirated copy of a bollywood movie playing on my tv when am in Victoria. But I cannot help but look back over these last few months and I guess just be thankful for this experience and all that has happened.
Anyway, I should return to work now, or start my work now to be more precise. Hope you are safe and well.
Love
Richa

Dear Guddan,
ReplyDeleteI can feel the sadness that you are feeling at the thought of leaving Keshod and Ahmedabad next month end. That place just binds you to it emotionally. I feel happy and proud of you that you not only adapted so well but also connected deeply with the villagers, the local people, and the environment so well and have been very sincere about your work there.
You should be glad that you'll have happy memories of this wonderful,enriching experience that will perhaps define your future career/work path in a big way. I am sure you'll have the opportunity to go back and work there with the local people as part of your Master's programme as well as after that too.
Enjoy and cherish this experience and be ready to move on in life. Let that not sadden you or dampen your spirits.
Love you.
Mumma
