It has been slightly more than a week since I here at West Lafayette. I am struggling to adjust to the new lifestyle; water-less toilets specially. Its difficult to smile at a passerby who waves with an eye contact and the lab-mates who cut short the conversations when they remember something in between. It's hard to maintain a ultra clean kitchen and be inside a room with the windows covered with finest mesh possible to keep the life outside.
It's cozy in the bed though, and the sidewalks are a treat to walk on with the air apparently cleaner than in Delhi. I would have loved to have some hills nearby but there is a river trail at a walking distance. One can seldom find people walking it, just some occasional runner buddies. Strangely besides a river, there is no chirping of birds, it feels so lonely by the quiet river.
Food is good. Restrictions at home do not apply here. I specially liked the dried cranberries. There is abundance of everything here it seems, except for some love from family.
