Goodbye October

There isn't another month that I look forward to more than this one. For obvious reasons. Each year in October I realise that I am  wiser than before and that  there is hardly anything left for me to learn to be certified 'World Wise'. Every year! Since the past four-five years at least. Alas! Each  day has new things to teach me, and before I know it., I get through 365 days telling myself that I am not going to make the same mistake twice because I am wiser. I don't. I make Brand New Ones. I am happy for those mistakes (Proud even :) ) but I do wish that there comes a day when I can tell myself I did perfectly well. 100%.

This year was special. I experienced Autumn for the first time. October- Autumn ...been on my mind for really long. Finally did it. Loving it in Chicago. Next on my List - Autumn in Paris and Central Park!

Although I have hardly any idea about why I am here in Chicago in the first place. I could have waited until November. I could have managed from Mumbai this month.

Actually, I do have an idea why I am here, especially now, now that I am writing about it. Something tells me that I would have been miserable at the idea of a long distance relationship with USMLE  and in part  also the fact that everybody else is here too....not that I care but I guess I rest well in the knowledge that I am not missing out on anything in particular...although it is pretty-pinching money-wise :/.

Six days for the month to end. Pretty uneventful you are October. I don't really mind. :)

Love,

RS
