All Set and Raring to go

Its been a week since the visas have arrived. And a week since my crazy Delhi weekend. It felt humid to get off an air-conditioned plane onto the still-warm tarmac at the Delhi airport last week.

And humidity and Delhi are two things that usually don't belong in the same sentence. Straight to the hotel and a long awaited dinner. Lay awake worried all night about the fact that in the morning some, as of now face-less and name-less, person would be in charge of making the decision that sent me to Michigan or not.
Woke up in a panic, convinced that I was late and had missed my Interview. A few other unfounded fears later, apart from my panic attacks, I walked out of the Consulate with my head in the clouds. In a few days I would be receiving a document that would allow me to walk through the gates of JFK Airport in a couple of weeks.
All smiles and hugs later, it was time to celebrate.
A couple of Beers, TGIF, Tequila, Friends, Decibel and Vodka later and life was looking good. Music at @live, Lunch at Bikanerwalla, A 3 a.m. walk from India Gate to Rashtrapathi Bhavan, and Goodbye hugs pretty much sum up my trip.

Now all thats left is to pack, get ready to let go of the madness that is my life here and prepare to embrace living halfway across the globe in a country I have never been to before, and for longer than I have ever been away from home.

Its all beginning here and now. And honestly, the view from this beanbag is looking pretty damn good!
