Farewells again...

Developing and maintaining interpersonal relationships is one of the most 'emotionally tough' aspects in expats’ life. In thse situations in fact, relationships almost always start with the tacit awareness that either you or the other person would, soon or later (often sooner than later), leave.

Not even four weeks ago I invited my new friends to my housewarming party. Within one week, three of those friends will leave Delhi and India.

Last Friday it was Shairi’s farewell. Yesterday eve we said good-bye to Ramya. On Friday it will be Arndt’s turn…

And within this continuous turnover, I silently yearn for some stability…

(By the way, yesterday’s dinner was the best meal I had since I moved to India. Thanks Massi!)
