I just got back from New Delhi two hours ago.It feels good to be back home. It's only when you go to another country which is completely different that you learn to appreciate what you have here. The safety, the security, the freedom to wander out on your own without fear. I can't say that it was a good experience because it really was not. The time difference just made things worse. Worse still was the unfamiliarity all around me. Not only was i in a foreign country, the people around me were foreign too. It was like culture shock multiplied by all the different countries that were present at the conference. But the very fact that it was a conference and the 6 sole student representatives were not actively needed most of the time gave me some space and time to reflect back on the past year. Everything that has happened and taken place. It was like clearing mental clutter, but sad to say, i gained another load of mental clutter (and grudges) which i don't even want to talk about. That's it. My patience has never been tested to that extent and thank god for Viroshini. Without her, i think i would have just gone delirious with anger. So that's it for now. I'm going to get my caffeine fix before i zonk out.
