It is these last few hours that are the most excruciating. The months passed, the weeks passed, the days passed, but the last few hours just don’t seem to. And to make things worse, the last few hours could be delayed because of an impending snow shower. 🙁

I don’t know how much has changed back home since I left shores, but I am not hoping to see anything drastic. But it is going to be great nonetheless. The joy of meeting old friends (few of them are in India , and few of them are flying back home for vacations too), professors in college, family and relatives is going to be the most euphoric.

And I think I will get back to eating 3-4 times a day , starting with a good breakfast, followed by a nice heavy lunch, and then a light snack and topped with a good dinner. I don’t know how my digestive system is going to react to this sudden overload of timely food, considering that it is used to a brunch ( breakfast + lunch at around 2-3 pm) and a untimely dinner at past bedtime. And I will get to sleep for more than 8 hours (yes, the medically recommended standard). Probably my mind and body cannot wait for this pampering to begin.

Ah ! yes, the sweets. That’s something the tongue has been longing to taste ever since I left home. The taste of mouth-watering sweets made in fresh ghee with the love and affection of my mom is something that “money cannot buy”. And not to mention the long hours of talk which me and my dad used to have on a wide variety topics. And I will atlast get to watch some cricket on TV, even if its only the Bangladesh series. Gosh !! The list seems pretty endless and the trip only 32 days.

I don’t want to think of things now. I just want to reach home and do all the above said things.
