Back to Bombay… Left Delhi…Back to Me... Left Me...

- Got back a day ago…
- Got back in body…
- Got back to my lovely little apartment…
- Got back to my little corner in the office that’s more than just a little corner…
- Got back to all my close friends…
- Got back the rain (Atr called to tell me that it rained hard the day I got back after ten days!)
- Got back to my tree…
- Got back to my writing and sketching…
- Got back to my music…
- Got back to calling ma 3 to 4 times a day… : ) distance and phone bills never deterred us…!
- Got back my guitar… I remember a bit but will have to find a teacher…
- Got back on an airplane…and did pretty well… (funny little story…little boy at boarding gate…horrified…looks at the little bus and then at his dad and goes…But you said we were going by plane!!!!) petrified but made it…the beautiful clouds kept me pretty busy…
- Got back into action mode after an extremely relaxed ten days…
- Got back to unsettling people and the memories they evoke…
- Got back to being by myself…
- Got back to feeling in control and independent…
- Got back a grip on myself…
- Got back to me…

So strange na…so many positive ‘got backs’ and still they can’t equal being at home…they still can’t make me feel better about leaving… cos I left much more than I’ve gotten back to…

- Left a day ago…
- Left my soul, heart and mind…
- Left ma and pa…
- Left the little auggie doggie (I hope someday we’ll be able to have a fluent conversation with our pets and tell them that our going away does not mean we don’t love them…it does not mean that we won’t come back…that we’re just a phone call away if they need to be reassured…or rather if we need to be reassured about them! Miss him sweet smile and loving eyes…oh my heart hurts..)
- Left back my granny…with whom I now share a special bond…
- Left back those protective arms and many kisses…
- Left back ma’s cooking and caring…
- Left back ma’s courtyard…my safe haven…
- Left my home…
- Left the only place where I’m loved for all that I am and am not…
- Left the many exciting job offers that pa made to me…
- Left only to come back someday…
- Left back me…
