Things I miss …
Ok .. so I know its not even been a week … and I’m not complaining .. I’m just making a list of things that I’ve otherwise taken for granted .. This is not in any particular order …
- I miss not being able to wash my mouth with tap-water whenever I want to..
We’ve been told that we should probably use bottled water to brush our teeth .. I think I might be tempted to break this rule soon .. This might not seem like a big deal… till it happens to you ..
- I miss reading the newspaper .. in my car or on my sofa at the end of the day.. It’s not like I scan the paper line-by-line when I’m in India .. but there’s a sense of completeness to getting to read the days news, and cartoons, before one retires
- I miss not being able to google a topic as soon as I hear smthg new… Net speeds are much lower here.In fact I havent been on the next for 2whole days. Its been a while since I was that totally disconnected from the internet
- I miss channel surfing … We have 11channels on my TV here.. only 2 that I can watch:cnn & a movie channel … Its not that I want to watch that much tv.. its just that i’m used to looking at 30channels before I pick one, which I probably fall asleep watching shortly after
- I miss office-lunch, IPL-talk, IPL news, election updates
- I miss seeing family and friends whenever I want to … Again, its not like I visit my family regularly… but its great to have family 1/2 hr away …
