I'm back in Rishikesh at Nakul's home, safe and sound. Yesterday was a whirlwind tour of India's airports: Goa, Mumbai, Delhi and Dehradun, our home airport: the "Jolly Grant" it is called. gotta love that eh!
it was a long day full of long lines and packing and unpacking my laptop from my carry on everytime i went through a security gate. From Goa to Mumbai, Mumbai to Delhi, Delhi to Jolly Grant, no one flight was longer than 2hrs. So it was a whole lot of loading, unloading, transferring, etc. etc. and YES, my bag DID make it back with me, somehow, miraculously.
It was all an interesting study of human nature in airports, in India. I love watching people and I got lots of that in yesterday. I watched a security official pour the contents of an entire 40oz of Crown Royal into the trash disposal (don't ask me why or what infraction prompted him to do so) probably the ban on carrying on any fluid container more than 125ml. HAHA. So sad though. Then i proceeded to watch said trash receptable leak the entire 40oz onto the airport floor. I think his act was more a showy display than a really well thought out plan.
There were too many incidents throughout the day to name here. Its late and i'd like to go to bed. Goa was nice. Got a tan, but its also nice to be back in northern india where i feel more at home. Nakul met me at the airport with a car and when we got back to the house and walked up to the door, Ritu, Gunnu and Manu all spilled out into the street and surrounded me with hugs. So much love, going both ways. I was so happy to see them all and so happy to be back. Nothing like a little hiatus to put everything in perspective. I was lonely in Goa. No obligations, no responsibilities, no one to live for but myself.
Oh and just a heads up, we are going a little ways up into the Himalayas for 5 or 6 days, so i will be off the grid, so to speak. But promise to come home after that and post some pictures, finally :D love you all!!!
