mevathome




wow. this is different. instead of sitting in a dusty indian computer lab with rickshaws blaring their horns and hindi music, and cows meandering past the open doorways, i come to you from my parents' kitchen table, on my laptop. there's a cricket outside, and cat dander pollutes my lungs instead of exhaust fumes.

home is comfortable, nest-like, full of love and baked goods. a part of me misses india, but i am certain i'll return. maybe with my cousin one day;) i'm definitely happy to be home, happy to be rooted in one place with my own bed, and happiest of all to spend time with my family.

the trip home was eventful: from mumbai to france; france to dublin; dublin to home. i'll post a little more on those little stops, along with pics, sometime in the near future.

here are some pics from the first part of my trip: a buddha statue over a lake in hyderabad, some bovine booties, and my friend heidi and i in front of another big huge buddha statue.

i was going to try to surprise my brother matt for his 30th birthday on thursday, so i didn't post that i was home until now. some astute readers might notice that it is not yet thursday....but the cat mysteriously got out of the bag.

headed to d.c. for the next couple of days; but right now i'm headed to the park to soak up some verylatesummer sunshine!

peace and namaste.
