Don't Forget Your Free Gift.

Originally uploaded by conformerMore rain, and the roads are just dissolving under it. The puddles get wider, but no deeper. I'm eternally thankful to my brilliant foresight in deciding to leave my customized red-gold-and-green "unity" Converse All-Stars at home. Shoes that breathe are one thing. This country will drown your feet.
Here in India. Still in India. Dammit.
The ironic part is that now that I've hit my stride, mastered my homesickness, and found workarounds for culture shock; it also means that work is ramping up, people in the office recognize me and have started seeking out my counsel, and my insomnia has well and truly cycled back around.
I'm not homesick, but I still want to come home. The difference now is one of timing; I'm halfway through this visit, and the most difficult parts, save the inclement weather, are behind me. Now I just let gravity do what it does best.
Smash objects into the earth.
