Eaten all kinds of weird new things; including a surprise bite into a brinjal, just when I was beginning to forget what the wretched things tasted like.
I've been paid for my services. Services that actually got sent to be executed on construction sites in Gujarat and Maharashtra! =O
I've discovered more new music and movies than ever before and have completely fallen in love with things I'd never even paid any attention to earlier.
(Yes, I'm being annoyingly vague and non-descriptive, I know. But, I'm feeling lazy.)
I've met so many new people. So many of whom were about as similar to me as red apples are to purple erasers! And I've discovered the joy of the anxious excitement in bonding with and getting to know people and things so far removed from my own place in the world.
I honestly believe that if you're willing to keep an open, willing-to-learn mind and an accepting attitude (even to things you aren't used to), you'd be able to find love and friendship in almost anyone.
You'd even be able to make a home wherever you are. Of course it could never compare to your actual home, but it would suffice to keep you going.
If there's one thing working in an office environment taught me, it's
not to judge a book by it's cover. Never. Don't do it. Because you can't.
Whatever preconceived notions you choose to come up with, if you give people a chance, they'll surprise you.
In good ways and bad.
I've come to realize how extremely unimportant things I've prioritized in the past really are.
I'm also suddenly acutely aware of the fact that, when it comes to my future, I don't know anything for certain.
Except maybe that, because I love to travel, I will never stop.
I'm finally upon the last 6 months of a 5 year painfully splendid journey through a bachelors in Architecture.
After this, the world in my playground. I could do, for the first time in a long time, pretty much anything!
I've never been more afraid of a bloody playground!
But, there's still 6 months of a sheltered student life to go before that.
So to jumbo sized thesis projects and whatnot... I'm back yo! Come n' get me.
Ok. On second thought,
hold on.
I'm coming to get YOU.
