On Mandatory Break From Uae For Change

I’m back here in Faridabad now, living at the Sector 21B address after quite a long time away. Most people know why I’m here, just taking that mandatory break from the UAE like a lot of folks do when they need a change of scenery or just some time to reset things. It’s a bit different being back in the NCR heat compared to over there, but it’s home. I spend a lot of time between here and the spot at Delhi Gate in New Delhi too. It gets crowded around there, especially near the old gates where everyone is rushing, but there’s always something happening. I didn't plan on being here this long, but that’s how life goes sometimes. The house in Faridabad is quiet enough, though the traffic outside can get loud in the mornings when people are heading to work. I’m just trying to figure out what comes next while I’m on this break. It’s not a holiday exactly, more like a pause button. I walk around the neighborhood, see old faces, and realize how much has changed while I was away. Some days I miss the structure of the UAE, but then I have a cup of chai here and it feels okay. My family is around, which helps pass the time. We don't do much, just the usual stuff like grocery shopping or fixing things around the house. It’s a bit weird being between two places like this, but I’m making it work. The Delhi Gate place is always dusty, but that’s just how that part of the city is. I’m just here for now.
