Just when I was getting used to rhythm of Basel and starting to explore a little bit of the city, I received the confirmation of my moving to another country.Well, to be honest, it was not unexpected but I was expecting the impossible and hoping that the extension of my contract would get cancelled and I would get to stay with my new-found friends a litle longer. The countdown has begun, and I am really really annoyed at my nomadic ways of life. At first, it seemed really interesting.Then getting used to mundane things like laundry, grocery, shopping for gifts etc etc gets priority and you think only for and about yourself.After a while, you start looking around, making friends, get a little absorbed into the place -and lo, you have to move again.
again,the other mundane things become important-packing, distributing, selling, looking for accomodation in another land etc etc-and most important, being able to say appropriate goodbyes to different people.
well, I still have another month to brood and think about all this.I wish everyone who reads this post cherishes the time he/she actually spends with friends,there may not be so many friends where future takes us.It is the companionship of friends and colleagues which make a place special while it is work/employment which takes us to and away from them. It is good to give both things importance in one life,but maybe better to see what one remembers more:one evening among many at work? or one evening spend in the company of a dear friend?
