Another weekend and back home!
This is one of the very few thngs that give me happiness and respite here...Going home and staying with people who care for you and do not look at you with green eyes which happens in plenty in my apartment and in campus. I just don't understand why don't people do their own work and don't meddle with what I do/get/achieve/gain while I study. It was the thing that frustated me the most while I was doing my Diploma and undergraduation in India. And I will have to face the same thing until Dec 09. Otherwise too, there are not many things that one can get happiness from when one gets into a masters program from a university like A&M. There's hardly any source of entertainment, and it's very difficult to find time to enjoy those few that are. Well, there are some for people who are into clubbing/boozing/smoking and stuff. But I stay away from such places.
Well, by the way, I'm again in a Chinese dude's car...it seems I will have made more Chinese friends here than others. And I've decided that if my blog is to be updated, this is the time when I'll do it, during my trips to&fro Houston. Mom has finally found some work in Houston. She is doing what she is best at - teaching computers...She has found some people who are willing to learn, at the temple where she used to go daily to pass some time. Sadly, this also means that mumma won't be able to stay with me more than one more time before she goes back :( Everyday, I feel "Why did I choose to come here? I kick myself for putting myself in a position where I cannot pat my back for taking a good decision. I always prided in myself for taking all right decisions (important ones) in life before this. Though I always feared that a bad decision would not be easy to digest for the first time. But this choice should not have been 'that first one'. Anyway, I need to stand by it and get the most out of it.
Ahha.... there would be 1 good thing to look forward to this weekend...There's a Navratri garba organized by the Gujarati samaj of Houston and we will be going there. Though I don't play dandiya/garba much, I am still looking forward to it - one such event outside India is worth the effort and money!
