Good Bye Finland !


Happy Easter everyone!

So what should have been during last Christmas is happening now – I am making the move from Finland. What was supposed to be short two months assignment became nearly six months, and though it is not yet officially completed, my part is done. So tomorrow I take the early morning Air France flight out of Helsinki.

In couple of hours, all my belongings would fit in two bags and the dumpster, I would book myself a taxi for tomorrow and I am good to go. I won’t even think about what I am feeling now, it is becoming part of my life. Though this time I have several other feelings alongside making the whole process torturous.. I decided to fly only on Wednesday and booked the flight for Monday morning. Now all the intervening days are Easter holiday and I thought I would have ample time to pack and clean the apartment, etc. I didn’t realise it would be so difficult to pass every minute of these days. It is hard to live in the apartment with your bags packed at one corner. I should have booked my flight on Friday morning.

I am not sure what I am going to do next. For now, I have taken two weeks off and after three flights and overnight train journey would reach my parents place. I have no other place to stay in India for now. I desperately need this time to clear my head.

    Ipanema Girl - Sadly the dumpster will remain here. It is like with each passing day you include something in your home and when you pack, you have to throw some of them :(

    Thanks, I would try to be on the blogworld.

    To quote a line from a recent movie " some of the best journey's are that take you home"

    I wouldn't want to use that in the physical sense, but some times you need to get to a place where things don't happen automatically.Where you need to think and make things happen.Where you need to find your own element.

    I am sure I don't make sense now, but in time you will know what I mean.I am sure India is large enough to get you your own place soon enough.

    Good luck and it is lovely to see you post again.

    For some reasons, just like the last time, I have a feeling you're gonna come back here again. heheh. I'm waiting for the return :) Otherwise, prepare to bring me for dosai when I come there. :P

    Neihal - Yeah, who is the other one ? It does excite me to think I am going back to India but not sure if I am happy to go there :(

    And Happy Easter to you as well..

    Mowgli - Yeah, again, I wish I get more 'agains'

    EU - Yeah I totally understood what you mean and it is true as well. Yeah India is a large enough but we don't need large place for our heart to reside, do we ? I know I am going to live in Bangalore, just had to manage the stuff there.

    Heather - I would be happy to come back again, but I not sure if this will happen.

    You arrange your trip to India and I will bring the best dosai, infact I am going to eat dosai everyday :) You have a nice time in Finland !

    You should start learning Suomi, man, because you surely will get there again and if you know their language it's much easier to pick up girls. :D

    projektleiterin -
    what makes you think that he doesnt pick up girls now

     
  • At 7:08 PM, Blogger greensatya said…

    projektleiterin - Haha, you are funny ! and too many assumptions. I am not sure if I am going to get here again, secondly, if you live in Finland, you know that Suomi does not help in this case. Thirdly, I am not picking girls here :)

    mowgli - What makes you think the contrary ?

    My friend ... what can I say? This blog is not enough.

    Mowgli - drop it man, I am too sad now to think of these things. :(

    Satya, like I told ya, you would do just fine! Just get to Desh for heaven's. And no one would send you anywhere unless *you* agree to it. So you see, it's all about how you want it. :p

    Hope you dont end up throwing too much stuff this time round!

  • At 2:09 PM, Blogger projektleiterin said…

    I can only say, eloquent people are often pretty sexy. Cyrano de Bergerac - what else can I say. :D

    Hope you have arrived safely and will come back soon!

    Twilight Fairy - Yeah I am back in my Desh now. No, I didn't have to throw things this time. I was travelling pretty light.

    Perspective - Thanks, I am back !

    Abhinav - Yeah I am back !

    Project ...(Duetsch) - Eloquence can be misplaced as well. What better example than 'Cyrano de Bergerac. Not sure of my plans now, let's see where my fate takes me next.

    EU - I was taking vacation, was at my parent's place. Now I am back in Bangalore. :)

    Raj - Thanks ! I am back in India and yeah in Bangalore.

    Neihal - I was on vacation. Now I am back to online world.

    Oh my god, I am so behind time. I haven't dropped by in such a long time. Has it really been 6 mths since you've been back to Finland and back again? Wow, it felt like only yesterday I was saying bon voyage the first time you left Finland. Well hope you are settling in well and I hope to drop by more often.
