So long then, Sydney.

When I left Hyderabad, I shed a few tears. It was mostly for the family I was leaving behind. Bangalore didn't move me much, but I knew I'd miss it for friends and for the fabulous city that it was. But Sydney is something else, and Nine By Thirty, Cherrybrook is something else all together. This house gave me a purpose, made my biggest and most important dream come true, gave us countless unforgettable moments and memories. But it's time to move, yet again. And this move is a difficult one, albeit, a move that we chose to make.

We've been in Sydney for close to 3 years now and it's only been fabulous. I've loved living the Australian way. Absolutely adored the happy, chill out attitude of the Aussies and the lush and picture perfect vast landscapes of Australia. Its without doubt one of the best looking cities in the world. People here are warm and relaxed. I've rarely experienced the tensions that a typical city dweller does. This beer drinking, steak eating,  beach loving, barbeque mad country, has giving me a lot. Barring the winter and the fact that it is just so far away from home, I haven't had any complaints.  At some point we wanted to settle down here, but the heart didn't agree with the head. For the first time, I'm at a loss for words. I don't know how to thank and say beautiful things about this country and the new friends we met here. I won't do justice with my writing...and mere words cannot describe my deepest feelings.  I'll miss you Sydney. Miss you oh so much.

And I know, I'll come back to say hello to you again, Sydney. But it's time now to say hello to a new country and embrace and experience new sights, sounds and cultures. So long, then.
