About a week of so ago, my good friend, Jaramogi, told me via IM that he was moving to New Delhi, India. Whoa! At first I thought he was joking, but quickly realized that he was serious. I forgot who I was talking to. I was talking to a male version of me. Jaramogi and I have always been in tune mystically. We often have the same ideas or at least similar ones and strangely, the thoughts come to us around the same time. I realized that if I was thinking about moving abroad, it is very possible that Jay was also thinking about it too. And the universe quickly responded to his thought! His company has a global rotation program that is going to place him in New Dehli!
I've always wanted to live in abroad, especially in Europe, since I went to school at Oxford in England during college. This experience really broadened my mind and made me yearn for different experiences. It also got me excited about traveling and learning more about the world. It broke me out of the US box and "state-side" thinking and made me into a Global Citizen. This global thinking has gotten me into trouble with some of my more "patriotic" friends when I don't side with the US on international and political issues.
Anyway, I am really going to miss Jay during this time but I am soo excited for him. He promised to come back a Buddha (wink) and use his East Asian History degree from our alma mater, Duke! I can't wait to see pictures, hear about his travels and experiences, and possibly visit him. Here's to new adventures, global citizenship, exploration, and living your dreams!
