Something like an ending

I always suck at wrapping things up. In the end, I guess I couldn't find the words to finish up my experience in Delhi and in India. My last couple of weeks were in all ways incredible. My best friend has family in India. She and her Father, Mother, and Sister came to visit their family there and so I traveled to Bangalore and Mumbai with them. I'm writing from the States now. Yesterday I was driving down a quiet street with only a couple cars on a four lane road. I felt emptiness around me and suddenly missed the chaotic bus ride from my home in Delhi to the metro station. I came home and attempted to cook Indian food. It was okay. But I really miss the hole-in-the-wall food places my friends and I would go to in Delhi.

I know this was only the first of many trips I will be taking to India. I feel a part of me is still in India. And that India is now a part of who I am forever.

As for blogging, I enjoyed it so much. I am so grateful to everyone who read my posts. There may be more blogging in my future, but for now I am going to take time for my other writing projects. So this is adieu.

Love,
Anna
