Today is the last day of this trip to India. I arrived last Saturday night and am leaving just barely this Saturday morning. It has been all work with the exception of an excellent dinner of briyani at Viv's house on Sunday. It is always a nice time with Viv and Judy--and this time I was able to get my hair trimmed by Judy's mom. She can cut hair beautifully, and is used to thick hair like mine. That is the India commonality I have with most of the women here.
I have packed like it is going to be my last trip--I leave a bag here with essentials like sneakers, casual pants, a hair dryer, toiletries, and small things. This time I have cleaned out that bag and am only leaving things I don't need to have if I don't come back.
There is joy and sadness in all of this as it has been an adventure of a lifetime and I have been so lucky to have had this experience. But, it is time for me to move. I am not good at maintaining the status quo and love the start up so need to find that e-ticket.
There may be a trip 18. I just don't feel it.
