Dhanteras!

Well, right now I am on my way back to College Station from Houston. Actually, this time I came on Thursday, a day sooner than my usual trips. I got a opportunity to be with mumma a bit more, so I grabbed it with both hands. Did not have any class on friday and had found a ride on Thursday evening. Though I have just left, my countdown for next friday has already started. It feels so boring to go back. Honestly I find it very ironical but I feel that if I come every week, I find it very depressing to go back. Aren't I lucky that I have mom, bro and bhabhi who I meet so often? But I feel tht if I would have been left at my own fate, with nobody around, I would have handled myself much better. You know, you get used to living alone. What I am going through is like...departing from home every week, just like people depart from India for US. I don't understand how to take it.
Anyway, today is Dhanteras, the 1st day of Diwali celebrations in India. Here, its darkness all around. People here are celebrating Halloween. Crap! Frightening people instead of spreading happiness. Bhabhi's cousin, who also lives in Houston had invited us for gayatri puja at her place. It felt good to at least have a puja this Diwali. Else, it just doesn't feel like Diwali here.
Also, I played guitar here, after a long time...just don't feel like playing it. I have lost interest in this place and everything here. Bro sang and I played, it was good fun.
By the way, dad is coming to Houston on 12th December. We will then be going on a trip to Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Franscisco. I am really looking forward to it; some good moments that I shall be spending after coming here! But before that, I have a whole 40-45 days of assignments, homeworks, tests, presentations...man, I hope time flies by!
