I've been back from Europe for exactly 20 days now. After getting over the initial jetlag, life quickly jumped back into reality, the previous month almost fading into dream-like status: did I really do all those things, see all those places, meet all those people??
...well, I've got the photos to prove it! And yes, once I have them organized, I will post them for your viewing pleasure!
Back to work now. Boy, I forgot how tedious computer programming is! The lack of excitement is a shock to the system. I think I'm more antsy sitting at my desk, these days. After a month of walking everyday for 8 hours in some of the most historic and beautiful cities on earth, sitting on my bum for 8 hours in front of a flickering CRT, no windows in sight, and fluorescent lights above me must be some form of cruel and unusual punishment.
Perhaps I'm being unfair to my job. It provides me with money after all...
Money I can use to visit my university friends in Toronto, which is what I did last weekend. The occasion was Rohit and Arvind's joint birthday, as well as the departure of Rohit and Aasthaa for Seattle to start the next phase of their lives. While I missed out on the clubbing at The Docks, I was lucky to be a part of the recovery the next day. I arrived at Ankur's apartment at 10:30 in the morning, and I'm sure there were 8 passed out humans on his living room floor, still fighting the effects of the drink. Sitting there, chatting with those that could communicate, I felt extremely comfortable, in the emotional sense. It just felt natural to be with these people, whom I'd grown close to over the last 5 years.
That day, we ate sushi, caught a free show with Amy Millan at the Harbourfront, then spent a lovely evening at Rohit's house, with yummy Indian food and good conversation. This was a perfect weekend break.
