"Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
oh babe I hate to go "
We're leaving at the crack of dawn tomorrow. We've been homesick this week. My daughter's had a fever on and off, my husband is frantically finishing his to-do list and I'm missing the comfort of my own bed and sofa.
We're going to miss the family the most and it'll be hard for them as well.. the small apartments will suddenly feel spacious and lonely.
This morning I looked out of the window and realized I'm going to miss Mumbai, goddammit. The city that frustrated me to no end is now going to go away and I'm going to miss it. All the people, all the lives and stories behind each face. The noise outside my window now is incredibly loud -- horns, engines revving up, incessant crows cawing. It'll be gone.
Now I understand what people mean.
