Home Sweet Home

So I guess this will be my last post, since I have just reached London therefore my Indian experience has now ended. I don't like goodbyes and I am not very good in closing statements, but I thought I should write something to conclude beautifully :), even if I am so tired right now that what I write won't probably make any sense - I got sick in Mumbai two days before leaving, of course, reason why I didn't post nor I have many pictures to show you. 


I can't quite realize how fast this whole thing has gone, I've been looking forward to it for years and yet it went so quickly I am again sat in my room in London like I was what it seems yesterday. 
Right now it feels like I barely noticed the time passing, but in truth every single moment was an experience which I will cherish forever. 
I don't think I have changed in any particular way, but I know I now look at things differently after having learnt something from every person I met and having reconsidered basic concepts such as friendship, fate, religion, love and many more. I'm not going to get too much into it since it's way too hard to put it into words, but I hope that if you read some of my past posts you got a little of what I mean. 

I met some wonderful people from completely opposite social and economic backgrounds who always made me feel the most welcomed person and made sure I was safe and good. I've seen places I could never imagine of before and felt helpless towards these people and in the same time lucky to be born in the conditions I was (will definitely think twice before complaining next time). I wish all of you could have seen, touched, smelt, heard and felt what I did because if everyone really did it then this world would be a much better place. 
In the same time it is reassuring to see that there are still some people out there who care, who gave up their lives (ok symbolically speaking, we're not all saints) to help the poorest, those people who just by fate were born in such sad conditions. 

I wish I stayed longer as it almost feels wrong being back, but I know I will go back one day and hopefully it will be sooner rather then later (check out Bollywood films' credits soon!). 

In the meanwhile, stay tuned and thank you all so much for having followed my adventures and having given me such support all the times, it really meant a lot.

Lots of Love

Delhicious

So there was some last minute change of plans, and stopped in Delhi before coming to Mumbai. 
Had a really good and crazy weekend, although it was quite hard to get used to a complete different life style overnight - it really needed all of my adaptability skills!



In Mumbai now, can't believe in just a couple of days I'll be home...
