"All around its bright,
bright and early life starts,
every morning.
I wake up to sounds,
sounds that are familiar and annoying,
every morning.
Spicy smells hang heavy,
heavy is the humid air,
every morning.
These are just days,
days that are fleeting away,
there will be no sounds,
no smells,
no brightness,
this will not greet me,
every morning." ------- ME
My last weekend in Bombay. I'm sitting in fron of an ill-equipped closet trying to fish out an attire that will be appropriate for a night at the most expensive club in town. Its tough! Decisions! I have an appointment with the hairdresser in 30 minutes and I am trying desparately to type with freshly painted nails. (without causing any damage) I look like a spaz trying to type who thinks his fingers are squiggly twigs. (Sigh! so far so good...the paint has not been damaged)
I realise I am going to leave. Sooner than I can imagine. Three days to go for lift off. Lift off to dreary Swansea. How exciting! I am going back to my life as a pauper. I shall be counting pennies to buy the cheapest pasta at Tesco! Going to hairdressers who treat me like a princess will be a distant dream then. Being home has been so much fun that I don't want to go back. However, its a good thing I am going back because my resolve to work and finish my disstertation here turned out to be quite weak. I have not progressed much on the work front.
I have enjoyed the finger-lickingly delicious food and the pampering from my family. I even changed the colour of my hair..hehe ...Ma says it makes me look older. But what the heck I am getting older....
So! The drama queen has decided to stick to a routine (hehe....she can try at least). Here it goes:
As soon as I get back (after I have deposited the cheques from my dad -for survival)
I will run every morning by the sea
I will learn how to ride a bicycle
I will swin three days a week
WILL ABSTAIN FROM EATING OUT AND DRINKING LIKE AN ALCOHOLIC (truthfully I cannot afford it anymore...*wink*...so this one will definitely work)
I will work on my dissertation 5-6 hours a day in the library (see she had to remember the important stuff last!!!)
**Conditions subject to change depending on mood swings
Btw, the nail paint has survived!! Hurrah!
