I am struggling to adjust to the busy lifestyle here in Mumbai. My own natural bio-rhythm is very different than what the life here looks like. I’m asking a lot of my body and mind and yet not giving it the time to fully process or recover…
My mind is challenged in school, but in a good way (I am hoping to write a post about the school and my daily life in school soon). It is fun, interesting and diverse. Every day can be different.
Yet my body is exhausted and sleep deprived. I am eating a lot of new foods, I am eating late at night, because that’s when everyone eats, I get very little sleep, because social life only happens after 9 pm, but I have to get up to go to school by 5:45. How am I supposed to cope with this? When am I getting the time to just relax?
I don’t know yet. I have not found my rythm here yet. And it will most likely continue this way, as my friend’s wedding preparations proceed and more and more guests from far away are arriving.
Oh and of course it’s also Christmas season. Even though it is not celebrated as much as it is in Germany there is of course still some festivities going on… And I also like to create small spaces for my own way of celebrating the festive season.
From tonight on, I will be attending a 3-day wedding event of a friend, my first real Indian wedding!
I will try to update soon again…
