MBA is over and I am back home... back to Calcutta after almost 2 years and it feels good :)
I got out of Howrah Station and came back in a Taxi with 2 of my friends and all along the way I was just shouting out the names of the familiar streets, shops and landmarks when I saw them (starting with the Howrah Bridge)... And I realized how much I really missed this place. Calcutta is a truly charming city - full of history. It's where I've grown up and spent most of my life. It's almost who I am... okay maybe that was too much, but still, you get the general idea...
The funny thing about home is that no matter how long you've been away, when you get back, it always feels like you'd never been away. You're always welcomed back with open arms. And no matter how much things change, they still remain, or at least seem to remain, just the same.
And there are some things you never outgrow - your bedroom, the utensils you have always eaten in, and the street you grew up in. For some strange reason everything seems smaller (probably because I have grown in size) and yet it feels so nice, familiar and comfortable... :)
It sure is good to be back home :)
