my life
hi! so i have been wanting to blog for the last few days (at what julie hinted at) but i have been so swamped and also so unsure about what exactly is going on that i haven't. have some time now but what exactly is gonna happen is still up in the air.
here's what i know. i'm moving to india. for about two years, maybe three, maybe one. i will be working for the same company that i'm working for now, helping lou (who is another senior person at the firm, the parallel and best friend of my boss) build out businesses in india.
i've been wanting to do this on a personal level for a long time.. not move there for good (which i am definitely not doing) but just live there for a few years when i'm in my twenties.. before i have a husband or kids (or job i can't leave) keeping me here to enjoy the country that i love so much for more than just a few weeks a year.. and to also be close enough to my relatives (ESPECIALLY my grandparents to really get to know them instead of just the occasional phone call or whatever). i always thought that it would be a transition for me between jobs, in that i would have to leave my old job, do some kind of local job there, and then move back here to something new. but i really do LOVE the company that we work for... and i'm really excited that i get to stay with them and live there at the same time.
what i don't know.. is exactly WHERE i'd be living and WHEN i'd leave. this is the part where excitement turns to nerves. one business that we are building, which is one that i've worked on since january, will be based in delhi, at least in the short term. which means that although i will get to mumbai in less than a year, it could be as much as 8 months that i live in the delhi area before moving. (mumbai is where my family is.. and the reason why i love india so much).
when i'm leaving.. it will definitely be before the end of the summer. it could be as early as the end of may. if i end up working w this one new business that i've worked on before, the guy running it will start on june 1st, and i will likely need to be there when he starts. craziness.
that's all i know so far... will update you as i hear things.. i am nervous and scared about what my life will be like.. and what i'm leaving behind here.. and if it will be the same when i get back. but i also feel SO excited and SO ready for this. i'm ready to do something adventurous and a lil unknown where i am alone in a big city and have to find my way. if anything i think living in delhi where i know NO ONE will be good for that.
you also MUST visit me (and you have a long two year window to do so).
