I'm back in Kolkata!
I don't yet know Bangla fluently, that is very much a work in progress. I know enough, however, to come to Kolkata and start getting into my new life here!
So, last week I said goodbye to Dhaka:
And less than an hour later, hello to Kolkata:
It may look like I simply traded in one hazy city for another, but it is so much more than that! I really loved being in Dhaka, but it was always going to be a transient, short stay. Kolkata, however, is where I get to settle in a bit! I've been moving around a lot in the last 2 years. I've stayed in over 15 different homes for anywhere from a few days to several months, none of them really my home.
My last home was in Musoma. I wanted to grow up to be a wandering adventurer, and I think I may have accomplished that goal. I'm now wondering if Kolkata might just be the next spot that grows into place that I can call home.
