Living in India is Fantastic!

April 20th, 2008 Posted in India, Personal

So I’ve been in India for about 3 months now, and I’ve gotten very comfortable with my surroundings. It’s not like at first where I was jumping at anything that seemed out of place which was pretty much everything. I now stroll down to the internet cafe like I’ve been here for my whole life, but something has happened to me that has me forgetting how crazy and awesome it is to be living here.

So I basically sit in this internet cafe all day working. Other than that, I’m at the gym in the morning, and I buy fruits in the evening while I try to learn Hindi on the walk there. As you can see, I’m definitely not your typical tourist, but that’s the way I like it. Actually, I’m not a tourist at all

I haven’t even seen one major monument or tourist location in Lucknow. I’ll be sure to visit them before I leave, but until then, I’m just acting like I’ve been here for my whole life.

However, I am forgetting how unbelievable and amazing it is for me to be living here at age of 22.

I realized this when I took my standard 10 minute break after a hard 50 minute work session. I walk outside into the bright sun that’s blasting warm air to my face and think. Ah hah…

I’m in INDIA!!! How in the world did I get here? This is freaking amazing!

It was one of those realizations that made me reflect back and think of how unpredictable my life has been for the past few years. I would have NEVER of thought I would be living india just a year back. I would probably have called you crazy to even suggest it.

But now I’m here, and there is no turning back. Awesome.

Now I can only imagine what the future holds for me or should I say, how I will hold my future.
