Sandier Pastures

I was looking through some friend’s photos yesterday afternoon. Photos of friends I left behind in Japan. There were lots of photos in the snow, the mountains that used to greet me every morning when I wake up and simply, the Japanese characters in the signboards all over the city.

Then photos taken in Tokyo came up. The famous Tokyo tower, the busy streets of Shinjuku and then! some pictures of the cherry blossoms. Spring has come to Tokyo and I am badly missing it like hell! As I looked at the pictures one by one, I remembered the days when I used to stroll around the streets of Shinjuku or Akihabara when I was a restless student, 10 years ago! Where did all the time go?

Told M as soon as I went home and he just laughed at me. He never even misses his own home country and Japan’s globetrotting adopted daughter now based in the desert is on the brink of crying over pictures!
