A melancholy moment….I left India for the final time today (well, at least the final time under my soon-to-be-ex job). As much as I have mixed emotions about India, the fact is I have spent hundreds of days there over the past five years made it an emotional farewell as I sauntered through IGA for the last time. Love it or hate it, I certainly KNOW it. Even the curmudgeonly, machine gun-wielding army officers at the doors seemed friendly today……..

Now its on to Bangkok, for the second emotional farewell of the week. Only Thailand will be different, because unlike India I actually love the place.

And it loves me……

Last stop will be Singapore, but that story is for another day…………………….
