Discovering South Asia -- 2013

As I left Singapore on Feb 12th, I was feeling a mix of emotions all over my body. My apprehensive, cautious mind was telling me to start looking for another job, save money and prepare for the future. I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that was making my limbs go weak and draining the energy out of me. I had never left Singapore for more than a month at a time and there was an overwhelming sadness overpowering me as I was going to miss my friends. I tried to distract myself but it just wasn't working. Doing anything was hard since I was distracted and doing nothing was harder as I needed to be distracted. And finally there was the heart. My heart was leaping with excitement and anticipation at the months ahead. Travelling across South Asia, meeting new people, catching up with friends back home and most of all COMPLETE FREEDOM. I was totally looking forward to a life of no deadlines, calendars and task list (I was gonna b proved wrong just 2 days into my travels). 

As the old adage goes, "Follow your heart" and that's exactly what I did. 

Fast forward a week and here I am in Bangalore, smoking weed in a friend's house. My adventure has just begun and there's still a long way to go.... 

Life is good...
