0 degrees feeel f***ing cold!

So I am back, been already for two entire weeks. And how is it? Well, cozy, boring, cold, lazy, nice, spoiling, challenging, lonely. Certain things stayed in Bombay, others kept being present even here. Ironic enough, India's farewell gift for me was a food poisoning, that struck me with a high fever. How long had I been waiting for the moment where I would arrive home, and finally I felt like shit when it came.

Also one of my bags stayed in Bombay, adding even more irony to my homecoming. For 4 years I made my living charging passenger for their luggage exceed. So the night had come, where I would be the one paying. Well, no! I left the bag in Bombay. But now a Columbian is going to bring the bag from India to Macedonia, where she is going to receive Swiss chocolate and litterature from a Slovak in exchange, before a Bernese brings the bag to where it belongs. I love AIESEC! All this made me actually go and visit the MC-office, I got an annual report and contributed to a general gossip update. I was right, Dhruv-bhai!

While I was away, unsurprisingly, the people here moved on, found new girlfriends, boyfriends, jobs, switched the city. However, I perceive myself like having made a big step back into what was before. This clashes, every day. I am not here yet! Because it makes me feel close to from where I left off.

So what to do? I am looking for a job and a hobby. I brought an actionplan along for the first, already created in Bombay. I am on track. And I was full of ideas about the second, while being on the Subcontinent. Unfortunately, all what I was missing there in toys and possible activities are not that fancy anymore here. I can have them anytime, that is not funny. However, I have a few fun activities on my mind that will happen for sure. Some include others, but most of them don't.

Traveling last weekend with 80kg to Delhi I know how its feel. So I had some 55kg access luggage, but the charming German got a discount of 5kg and had only to pay 107Rs per kg. It was a company trip, so I didn't care (the golf event)

Anyways what I'm trying to say is, Boss why are you so chocked? Have you ever decided what and where home is for you? Is Suisse you home, touchbase, a place you feel attached to it. You said you came to India caus you couldn't stand Suiss anymore. So have u decided what you want in life?

(see best example you were missing things in India, which are for granted in Europe, so they actually don't have any value there. But I'm pretty sure that you had a decent social life in BOM, is it that what u missing?)
