nostalgia.....homecoming

At last with the time just managing to crawl ,the gruelling one and half month's training nears it's eventful end.For me it ended on day when java was completed and since then i am counting on the remaining number of days.With movies cramped into my hard disk i have no other job but to watch them before i embark on my journey towards what we call home.When i look back and try to gauge what i have gained in last one and half months ,i am left with not much to tell.But this does not frighten me enough as i never expected myself to do much.Well i am not actually complaining but it could have been better arranged in terms of it's span .Nevertheless whatever little i have gained is enough for me .
It's been long ,six months to be precise ,since i was at home and the very feeling of it makes me nostalgic.It's true that neither i have anything of grave importance to do there at home nor do i will be able to perform with my laptop much(thanks to the absence of power since 1994).At least i have not to bear the frequent power failures or to live in the constant hope of electricity .And it's not only my village that lies in the darkness but there are lakhs of villages lacking the basic amenities of life .Well i am not going to discuss the problems faced by the people of such villages as it's quite obvious to everybody .
With the race for a berth in rashtrapati bhavan hotting up and all the parties formulating their plans and holding clandestine meetings , it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious .I personally feel that our very own president kalam should have been given a second term in return of what he has given to the country.Anyways with him no more in the fray , it remains nothing but a formality for pratibha patil to occupy that position .I was glad to learn about the safe landing of the atlantis and with it all the astronauts.To be true the whole incidents for past few days kept me on tenterhooks. One thing really baffles me as to why TOI keeps on calling sunita half indian half american just to glorify india and take a part from her credit.It isn't fair as neither was she born in india nor educated .Then why such hoopla surrounding her.With kalpana chawla it was altogether a different story..
