So I’m officially leaving India and although I saw this moment coming and have therefore come to acceptance with the idea, I’m still sad to be parting ways with this stunning country. This country has completely changed me in more ways than I could have imagined it to. It’s opened my world to the realisation of so much; the detail of all their monuments, the levels of poverty, the diversity of the country, the ability to control your own mind, the ability to become so free, open and laidback and to most importantly be able to venture into pure happiness and enlightenment. These past 3 ½ months have given me so much which I will cherish for the rest of my life. In my current position in life, I personally don’t think that I could have experienced anything so fulfilling and life changing as this and so am therefore grateful for all the situations which have arisen in my life to enable me to be here.

As I get on my gruelling 10 hour bus to leave the country, I am physically and emotionally ready for it. I fill in the correct forms and get them stamped as well as my passport. It’s really happening now. I’m really going. I walk on with my backpack remembering all of the experiences, feelings and events which have taken place. A beaming smile stretches across my face as I pass the barrier allowing me to officially leave the country for good. And that’s it… I’m in no-man’s-land. Not technically in India. Not technically anyway. Just here…
