It’s weird being back in Bangalore. I already miss my cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents. I miss the hussle and bussle, everyone talking and joking and eating.
Normally, whenever I come to India, I completely forget about life back in the United States. It’s as if I’ve become a different person, someone who doesn’t stress about school or the future or anything. This summer, however, I’ve been checking my email every day. I still have work to do for SCPC or AIESEC or something else. Between the blog posts I have to write for Tech and the extracurricular projects, I can scarcely forget that I’m only here for a summer internship.
But when I went to Puttur, I didn’t have my computer. I didn’t have my planner or my wallet or even my ipod.
I unplugged and I de-stressed.
And after one day – one day filled with meetings and conference calls and working on timelines and budgets and applications and blogposts, not to mention my actual research – I already miss it.
