Prepping for home...

Its exactly 1 fortnight plus another 5 days before I leave to go back home for a long awaited vacation (so to speak!), and amongst all the feverish excitement of getting back to fairground, there is this cacophony of countless thoughts in my head over which I seem to have no control whatsoever! These are thoughts about things I have to do, things I want to do, things I must do and the list just goes on!!!

It seems as though going back home from the US is almost a ritual, governed by protocols which have become norm due to repeated fulfillment by everyone who goes back home!! There are the long shopping lists, feverish last minute shopping for gifts and last but not least maybe the selection of attire so that you look like your coming back from here (or maybe that's just me!)

I just hope I can get everything done before I leave, especially my 2 projects which I have been working on for almost 3 months now!!!

Sometimes I can just go nuts!!

What does it take.....?

Its exactly 1.45 am, and I have a zillion questions in my head right now starting with "What does it take.....??"

Would be hard to enumerate all of them, but here is one which seems to be perched on the edge of my forebrain "What does it take to go to bed knowing you should probably not go to sleep right now?". This would be a thought for every person on this planet who knows he/she is trying to grab 40 winks even though something is left unaccomplished!

Whilst my 4 odd years of engineering this question seemed to linger every 4 months in my head when I was preparing for exams and uncountable KTs. Today I have it in my head again.

P.S. This is my first BLOG ever, thought I would give it a shot :), hence the title!
