Moving base

The mornings wont be so easy. the nights wont be so calm. the roads will be crowded, potholed , waiting to kill you as soon as u slip. See thats y its great. U r awake and aware all the time. Zombies find it hard to live there.
People will trample you if u loose ur mind for a minute.
We r going to be gone from here in about a month. I am thinking i should make a list of what i will miss here. The closeness to the beautiful nature is going to numero uno. I will miss my early morning runs. 1 km n am at the world's best bay. the milky waves, pretty hills. I can see the flights take off . the fresh air and heaps of green. The run to the red rocks and view of south island across cook strait. I can cry hopelessly for an hour just for that 1 route. The oriental bay. my home run! how much will i miss it i have no idea but its going to be a huge one i know for sure. the beaches and seagulls a mere 4 min drive away. why oh why am i leaving it and going away?? i think i am a fool already! the park and field in front of our house is next. there is a huge patch of green park well maintained n slopey (almost like the ones in hindi movies where hero n heroine roll over ) leading to the golf course. its so calming n refreshing. on the other side is a biggg play ground. hardly ever used because there is another bigggg playground with artificial turf right next to it. the field is where khushi has had most of her meals. n we have had some of our best times with her laughing there.
Are these 2 reasons not big enough for the comfort of day to day life?
We r moving back to India. Our desha, where we belong or so i have argued a million times and over in the last 6 odd months.It is a lot of hard work. We r currently sorting out "our belongings". Its surprisingly exhausting.
There r big piles of things, sell, throw, take back. I am taking back with me what i cannot live without.
we r selling things we think r keepable but not worthy enough to be transported over.
To Throw. how do u throw what u paid for n assumed was worth . detachment is soo difficult. Its soo very difficult to let go of things u r used to using. Where is my yoga hat?

Graduation :)

So i officially have ze degree now. PGDip in Financial Analysis.
Its a very peculiar feeling as if i have lost something! I had soo gotten used to the idea of doing assignemnts attending block courses sometimes (Ok only sometimes) i think i will miss it. For 1 i dint REALLY slog my ass off this trimester. If i had i cud probably have gotten myself a better grade but on my part i had perfect excuses to not have made the subjects of study pivotal in my life during the trimester. I have learnt a great deal about finance from a zero to i understand what's going on types. But more needs to be done i know to leverage this knowledge. That is for later . For now its time to kick back relax and have a glass of Pinot gris :).
The graduation ceremony was very tedious. I will never ever attend one if i manage to get another degree!The boring, most boring roll call.... what was i thinking when i registered to go n endure that torture for 2 hours!
The parade was fun though. To be the cynosure and beam with flowers in hand an pose for a million fotos like a mini celebrity was awesome!.
Also its such a coincidence, the date 13th december :). Prash the better half (ok much much better half honestly) graduated on the same date(13 december 2001) in a different country with a different degree is something to remember
