I had this great blog post started in my head. It was beautiful, flowed seamlessly, and provoked thought. Unfortunately, only parts of it are left in my head.
India can be very intense. Intense noise, intense heat, intense traffic, intense people, intense just about everything. What I'm saying is, my so-called "honeymoon period" is over. The time that everything is bright and shiny and new and now lets go home. So this noise, traffic, austere dorm rooms, all of that that seemed in some strange way charming, has lost its shiny newness.
I have discovered I'm actually going to live here. This is a somewhat new idea to me. And when I think of it, its generally followed by some form of intensity, be it intense heat, or intense homesickness.
But thats not the end of the story. I have so many things to look forward to. I have yoga in the mornings, golfing on the horizon (yes, I'm planning on taking up a bit of golf whilst in India), traveling to various places with various friends and clubs, and some schoolwork that interests me. India has these things to offer plus:
Pirated movies
Cows in the street
Elephants in the street
Nice clothing
Yummy food
Lizards
Appreciation for heated and chilled things
