It has been almost a year now since I came here (around 9 months) and I should thank GOD for giving me what I have asked for. When I think, I lived over 2 decades in Sri Lanka and it felt home. I haven't stayed outside even when I was going to University and I used to travel everyday which was extremely tiresome when considering the conditions we had in Sri Lanka compared to USA. It is like a dream now. Whereas here everything is standardized and easy. I remember I also traveled everyday for work for over a year and when I reach the place I was half done for the day. I was used to that. I remember when the day is to end, I was thinking when I will be going home, in which train, if it gets late to leave the office how am I going to go home, etc all because I used to travel home everyday having to spend 1 1/2 hours one way in a train or bus. But I did not want to stay out of home even given those circumstances.

I have the changed the location I live now. Living far away from home. I feel everything is changing now. Getting used to conditions here. The city I live in now feels like "local" and Sri Lanka "foreign". Its strange. very strange. It doesn't mean that I do not want to go to Sri Lanka. The way I feel the environment is changing. Sometimes its scary. It all depend on your personality and desires and what do you want to do in your life. But I am not good at taking decisions about life. I hesitate.

Changes like this in life needs some guidance steer life into good directions. Decisions I take will either do good in future or the other way. Anyway it will definitely change the present and future. In which way it yet to find out.
