I'm in Bhilai. It's quite sad being here, since - I feel Bhilai as "My Town"... - People of this city as "my neighbours", - Dogs of the city as "our city dogs" since they almost never barked at us...and neighbouring dogs liked my family too, - And the temples around the city as "our temples". - I even registered our place in Facebook ... the 194B, 7th street, Smriti Nagar, Bhilai as Alexey's home... Yea unfortunately I did not owe this apartment ...so it is unlikely I'll be back here anymore, after I've send my trunks today to the 'next step after nowhere' and do some paperwork in Raipur and Bhilai Police tomorrow. It is the first place after many many years (~11 or more) , we did not really want to leave and feel as "our home". ..and when I'm back(yesterday)..I still see almost everything as we've left...except for mosquito nets removed, but amount of mosquitos is still less than in Chennai. - and the dogs in the area still following me quietly. - and people around smiling and waving me, asking, where am. - dogs are still around our home, since our son fed them. But they follow me as usual with no particular reason... might be they got the same urge for moving their asses from us? - I liked people here, they liked me and my family. - I felt here quite lucky...but stuck by the "boundaries": there's almost nothing to do for my kids, they just sat at home and did literally nothing. Yes, the city is still "the middle of nowhere" :) ... here we felt as "nowhere to go if you have not so many friends and no car" and so on...but it was our lovely city. Dusty and hot in summer, Noisy and cold on winter...but "our home". I don't like this feeling. It's like you leave your best friend forever. |
