I am ready to depart from Chicago to New Delhi and my heart is pumping. Mixed feelings are spurring my mind. Which new year will I celebrate? The NY time or the Delhi? How will my flight be like? What will my friends and family be doing? All of the sudden a deep lonely feeling inebriates me. Probably because it will be the first New Year eve the I will be spending with totally strangers. In addition, my terrorize feelings of flying suddenly bring me to a melt down. I cried in silence sitting in the waiting area while I text to all my friends as fast I could. The agent called my name. The snowy and windy weather outside just agitated my fears. I could not stop thinking about the few turbulence we just had coming from NYC. Oh GOSH! Now I will have to go trough 14 hours of turbulence. I guess I often engage myself in this self torture, "masochist voyage" every time I fly where I know that my body will be drenched of sweet and my hands will be shaky and cold as an ice cube.
Certainly, in the end it is all worth it even though I will need a vacation of my vacation. I don't know why but life and death are my only thoughts now. I can't stop thinking that I would die and don't leave a legacy or a work to be remembered of or even a child. Just crazy thoughts!!!
Now, it is 10:00 here in Delhi and we are about to land. Despite me having a first class window seat, I could not bear looking out of it. The plane is pretty shaky. When I finally took a pick out the window I see darkness. It makes me think that if Deli is this dark, I can't wait to see the smaller towns!!! What are we going to see next? Farm towns? LOL What am I thinking it? The city of lights is Paris and NYC... I don't mind as long as is safe. That is my conclusion
It was so much for my New Years eve. My seat neighbors didn't even had a toss celebration. All I did was watch movie, eat, sleep and read, watch movie , eat... repeatedly. My comfy bed and my fabulous AA customer service cooled me down!!! There was no one cool around me but older couples. I kept fantasizing about a life-time relationship. I observed then careful and consistently. I envied their apparently happy relationship or I should say "amicable companionship". I was trying to learn tips for it. "The secret to bear each other for a life time", that must be their hand book title.
The pilot ordered to bucked up. We are about to land. It is concentration time...
Hope you all had a nice champagne time... HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRRRR!!!!!
More to come...

New experiences can sometimes be unsettling. But, I believe traveling and encountering new experiences gives you a better understanding of life and the world. Traveling gives you the opportunity to make new acquaintances, taste various cuisines, dance to a different rhythm and understand different customs. Experiencing another society gives me more insight into how cultural differences affect people, but also art, music, religion, and politics. Embrace and enjoy your opportunity to learn, grow and expand your horizons!
Happy Indian New Year!
Liliana feliz ano novo!!!! muchos besos y abrazos para ti dulcura!!
I'm very delighted to be reading about your travels, and so sad I'm not lint in your pocket (or sari) to experience all that you are in India. How has your adventure been so far? Please tell me all that you can.
Regarding your observance of other couple's, isn't it interesting to be able to figure out what makes them stay together for so many years, and still be happy? I'm often curious even though i'm married myself. I like to conversate with older couples to know what the "secret is". I've learned there is no real secret just self -respect, love, fairness, honesty, communication and always putting your mate above all others. Hard to do all of the time, but I guess if someone s looking to invest in a good marriage sacrifices need to be made.
You are a smart girl - It will come to you.
Can you upload any pics on this site, If so please do I'm eager to see your surroundings :)
Ciao por ahora,
