I never believed it could happen.

I seriously never believed it when I heard people say that I'd get used to India, that someday I wouldn't even notice the trash, that I'd grow to love it....I don't know how it happened. It's like some crazy miracle or something...but it did. I miss India! More specifically, I miss Namdroling! But I've already said that....

However, a surefire way to distract yourself from missing India is to get an insane nanny job taking care of three kids under the ae of six for nine hrs a day with a 45 minute commute...

I've Been

going to bed oh so early
waking at dawn
somehow coerced into eating ice cream every single day since i've been home!
delighted by my nephew. his smile. his questions.
cuddled by my tiniest ones, asked to stay forever.
reading a sub-par book bought at the last minute in bangalore
joyful about salad!

I'
ve
been
longing for Namdroling--
khorwa first thing in the morning
khorwa last thing at night
coconuts
Zangdopalri
Holiness' voice
Katma Kuchen
fresh little monks asking my name and giggling and carrying platefuls of food bigger than their heads

surreal

to be speeding down the highway in my car with a gps, sigur ros loud in my ears.
