It feels like I am in another universe. My mind deceiving me and memories fade and become dreams. Our world's are just so different, and I know there are never going to be words to give you that will even come close to capturing a fraction of what happens in India. You just have to come here and see it for yourself. Breathe it. Love it. Hate it. Feel it. and let it take you out.
You truly have to surrender everything in you to allow this magical place to let you skip freely in the streets and not be swallowed whole. You have to surrender everything you are comfortable with, and everything you thought you might feel when stepping out of your reality into India.
I was snapped back into reality yesterday when I realized I had no idea even what day it was, and it was a big one. September 11Th. One of those days we all remember exactly where we were, and what we were doing when we found out. It's like a time warp, where everything feels like a million years ago and yesterday at the same time. That's how home feels to me right now.
India cows Seattle home...
...and now I am trying to understand what is going on in American politics, and where the f*$%$ Sarah Palin came from. Good strategy there, and I am just hoping all those God willing American "feminists" don't fall for it. Really, how are you going to compare Palin to Hillary Clinton. Don't get me started on this, but don't worry I can still vote in India...and I'm trying to stay connected.
I am finallly leaving Chennai in a few days, and will be traveling around. Southern tip to Northern India to Nepal...and beyond. so skype me por favor. wahooo.
