This is my last night at home for a long time to come. One last time to listen to the wind rustling the huge Bo tree infront of our house...One last time to watch the crafty kingfisher catch a little fish in the lotus pond in the backyard. One last time to sit at Ammi's feet and have her oil my hair...
Yes - I am leaving home - and high time too I think! Enough of being spoilt at home and being a pain to my uncomplaining parents! :D
Even though I have dreamed of this day, it still feels surreal. Can this be happening?
Part of me wants to break away, and have my own adventure - on my own terms. The other part of me wants to lock myself in my room and hide in my own little world.
As the wise and omnipotent Tintin once said (in Blue Lotus I think) - there is a rainbow in my heart today. Rain falls because I am leaving the two people that I love most in the world for a long time - and yet the Sun shines because I'm about to pursue my dream in a new land.
To cut a long story short - this song 'Breakway' by Kelly Clarkson sums up the whole thing:
Enjoy!

You have to break away and have your own adventure, that's a part of life, just don't forget your roots. :)

Like you getting on a plane, I got into my car and started driving... and the song it was this

I guess no need to tell that I became a great fan of her music eh ?
Here's part of the lyrics
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
hope you have a good time in Ausiee...Make sure you have a AC and heater both avilable at home..it s change pritty damn instance..
