Am I homesick? I don't know. Too soon to tell, surely.
I miss the chaos of Delhi. The noise. The constant honking on the roads of Gurgaon. Even the traffic jams.
I miss the loud and colourful Pepsi and Coca Cola hoardings on shops in the local market.
I miss the father's voice. The princess' entreating eyes. The mother's quibbling over my room.
I looked out of the car window while coming home tonight and I could see hundreds of stars. That's how clear the sky is. But I couldn't see Orion's belt, which is usually what I see if I look straight up standing at the gate back home.
I look for familiarity everywhere. So the early morning cool air and the green trees remind me of Kasauli. The drive around a residential area in downtown tonight reminded me of military cantonment areas back home. And the restaurant we went to felt like The Big Chill for a while.
So am I homesick? Maybe a little. And to think it's only been a week. And school hasn't even started.
