Will be back!

After my last exam, I waited for the bus outside the Mac building, which was an intense hub of activity, much unlike the rest of Canberra.Students, mostly Chinese, hung about the place, discussing the exam paper. Their presence failed to have any affect on me. I stood dreaming about the next fifteen days. I was going back home after finishing one year at uni. I wondered if life would have been any different if i was studying one of the popular courses at VTU. I concluded that the difference is more than i can comprehend.

• After shifting off campus I had realized the difference between apathy and tolerance.
• I had known the power of silence and their different types.
• I had understood what it was to walk home alone at 11:30 pm in the night after a tiring day spent at the uni library.
• I had discovered the true 'fun' of hanging out at a coffee club.
• I had discovered that culture hardly plays a role between individuals when they have the same wavelength.
• I considered the importance of networking.
• I knew what it was to safeguard your true nature in the midst of emotional turmoil, stressful environments and lonely nights.
• I learnt the importance of internet banking.
• I habituated smiling.
• I was now used to environments characterized by cold winds, pollution-free air and non judgemental people.

I guess the list continues and so does the journey. But i still long to be back home, to listen to the 'lamest' of kannada songs on FM, meet friends and have extended conversations.
