Leaving Hampi
This is a blog I wrote in 2015 when I was 28. My then girlfriend and I travelled in India for 6 months. Here is the result

Today, (Saturday 7 August) we made plans to move on from Hampi. On Monday night, we plan to board the 9 pm train to Mysore, a big city about 12 hours south of here. From there, we'll take a bus to Kodaikanal, and, from there, make our way to Karuna farm, our next destination. We took the sleeper train from Mumbai; this time we're taking the a lower class carriage, The infamous general coach... We shall have to wait and see what that's like.
Monday will be our 18th and last day in Hampi. A long time compared to the average tourist, but we have thoroughly enjoyed our time here. I can't say I'm in any way tired of Hampi, but I am very excited about the coming days.
Sorry.
I have to stop here.
I'm not being perfectly honest with you.
Everything I said is true, but it's not what I'm feeling right now, and it feels fake to write it. The truth is that today was a bit of a shitty day. It started alright, but for some reason I got pissed off in the morning. I honestly don't know why. It’s not that I don't remember; It’s that I didn't know at the time, and spent the rest of the day trying to figure it out.
Tslil was amazing, didn't take it personally, gave me space, really did everything I could have hoped for in that shitty situation.
It took a while after getting back from the city where we found out about the train, before I got back to myself. Even improvising on the harmonica didn't go as I wanted; for me that was a clear sign that today was just one of those days..
I really didn't mean to share this with whoever reads it. I just wanted to sit and write, but i guess this was what was bubbling in me, and just had to come out.
I actually feel better. I think writing, just like verbalizing, becoming aware of it, especially in a different light, helps me to move on. After I got back to myself, this has been rather a pleasant evening. We had a good game of chess, and now i'm sitting with my Chai, writing my blog.
If this was a hard day, then i'm doing just fine.
Namaste.
