So much has happened these past five years. Five years of being in India, the 'home' I 'returned' to on 20th February 2006. I've learned to like it, because circumstances can't change but my attitude can. And it has to a great extent.
Happy 'Homecoming' to me.
Hot, sticky, scorching summers; messy, mucky, unpredictable rains; harsh winters sucking moisture from my skin; noise everywhere, all the time; deaths of grandparents; financial problems; dreams shattered; confusion, depression, lack of focus; pesky relatives; stupid rules, social norms that make me sick; dizzy free-fall of first love, hitting rock bottom moods; frustration; anxiety; stress; feeling suicidal; listlessness; friendships that save me from gloom; writing; blogging; new dreams; growing up psychologically; silent rebel-in-me being unleashed; being stuck in one place too long with no break; feeling trapped; earning money and realising it can buy me freedom; excitement; plots and plans; more dreams; trying to move on; loving people who don't deserve it; nursing a perpetually broken heart; aching all the time; pretending to be strong; eventually getting strong for real; finding myself; becoming myself; making friends, many many many; lots of movies; lots of books; seeking happiness in the little things; accepting fate but carving destiny.

Beautiful..... summarising so much of one's own life in so few words.
And awesome wording - 'Accepting fate but carving destiny'.
By the way, you mentioned - 'Seeking happiness in the little things' , this is something without which living in India is IMPOSSIBLE. I too learnt that after returning home :).. :(.... :|
I'll wish that with each passing year, all the negative things you mentioned in the post disappear for good from your life.
