At long
last, the day has arrived. After two months of hard work and little sleep, the
day finally comes when we must fly to India. It is my first vacation of this
year, and I am very much looking forward to it. Yet the excitement is not as
palpable as I would have imagined it would be. With about 2-4 hours of sleep
every weeknight, and no exercise to speak of, my body is fatigued, and my mind
is abuzz with thoughts about international tax law. My constitution seems to be
numbed, and I do not feel so very much.
This is
not necessarily a bad thing. I would like to go to India with as little baggage
as possible. Having spent a majority of my years in India, one might be tend to
get the feeling that one knows the country well. I know but only a very few
aspects of it, and of my idea of India is coloured by an urban bias. I think,
or at any rate hope, that the numbness of my constitution will only help keep
my India slate as clean as possible, by not burdening my trip with specific
expectations.
