So I'm coming home tomorrow ( for most of you it would actually in two days, but not for me ) I've been waiting for this for some time now, a little over six months minus weeks here and there and now that it's here, I've had trouble really deciding really what all to think. Leaving a warm, suffering Kolkata still in need of so much redemption. I'm asked if I'll return and I answer right now only He knows what the next will be come May.

I had a sweet time departing with the SB ladies Thursday after spending some time away from them for a few days as I went about the city. I didn't do any work, I sat and watched the trainees in their Bangla class and occasionally caused disruption as I took pictures of them during class. We had a small party during our evening cha (tea) time - giving sweets and fried treasures as we sat around enjoying one another's fellowship that will not be again at least for some time. They gave me a card in Bangla script that I tried to read but really couldn't - they laughed and gave it to one of the ladies' sons to read it out loud for all of us.

In the last hours I have just a bit of packing, a cha time to enjoy with our neighbors downstairs, chicken burgers to make with my roommates, and probably a fast taxi drive to the airport. Then, I'll be seeing you
