"Is this your first time in India?"
"Yes. Do you think we'll be alright?"
"It's going to be extraordinary."
It's times like this, as I test and buy beds from Ikea and put down payments on an apartment and search for a solid, long lasting bookcase, all items that one day will hold considerable weight in my life, that clearly are already extremely meaningful in a way that I can't quite understand, that the unbearable lightness of being is simply unbearable and I can't help but lament that I have put money down on an apartment and a bed and a bookcase.
And not a ticket back to India or some other wonderfully indescribable and exciting place.
