Farewell, Mumbai!

*Nostalgic music...*

This is going to be my last night sleeping in my nice and comfy old bed. Tomorrow night, I'll be flying off to Orlando. Grad school, here I come. Mumbai - it's been real, old girl. Keep on rocking.

I was originally planning to make this into a long post, touching on all the people and places that have helped shape me into who I am now. Somehow I can't bring myself to do that, though. I think I'll leave that for another day, perhaps as a coping mechanism for homesickness...

And so, Act I of Nadeem's Crazy Life draws to a close. The curtains have begun to descend. We'll have a brief intermezzo as I travel across Europe and the Atlantic to New York, ending with a bit of a flourish as I take another flight from NY to Orlando. And there, ladies and gentlemen, the curtains shall rise again for the second act. It promises to have a completely different flavour, and even the protagonist will not be left untouched by the changes.

Such is life.

Bye guys. It's been nice knowing all of you. I don't know how long it's going to be until I post again. Let's see how things work out. Until then - ciao!

PS: For those who want to call me before the flight, I'll be home until 11 to 11:30 PM at least. I'm not sure what the situation will be like with my cellphone after that. It'll be easier to call me at home, of course - but hey, whatever...
