Where am I ???

The answer to that question literally is easy.... I am in Doha.

I have been travelling a little too much recently and am starting to feel the pinch emotionally hence the question.

Roochi was telling me yesterday that Nikhil needed me to be there as he is not feeling well and has been crying alot. He does not cry easily.... the fact is I too need to have Nilhil around me. We kind of hold each other up when one of us is down.

Natasha with her level head is also a great person to have around when feeling blue. She so empathises with people and is sensitive to their feelings. I was very pleased to also hear that she was the only person in class last week to stand up to a teacher who was unneccessarily critising the children in a most crude manner. Natasha stood up in the class and politely told the teacher that what she was saying was out of order. You go girl !!!

It is with all these things going on at home that makes me think is all this travelling worth it ??? I enjoy the people I work with and I like flying all over the place ..... but.... I want to be at home too. I know that lots of people are in the same situation but if I try hard enough I am sure that I should be able to find something in India to do that would pay reasonably well and also allow me to be at home. I suppose I have been reticent to do anything work wise in India but I think the time has come for me to do something for myself there.

I am arriving back in Delhi on the 1st Jan 2008. It is a new year and I will pledge to establish something in India before the year is out. I hope this is no idle pledge. I can be lazy about things sometimes and quite often am ready to sit on my laurels and let things come to me. I have been lucky up until now.... It is time to shake things up a bit.

Peace and Much Love
