There is no one to blame for the social vacuum one finds herself in upon the return to her home country after 4 years; after all, relationships are maintained better when face to face, over a cup of tea, through the long phone conversations, weddings, evening walks, birthday parties and many other tangible ways. For the last five years I was not able to be a part of it because of the distance, except letters exchange with just few that are still interested.
This time when I went home I discovered that it is not as cozy as it used to be. It is true that the central square looked beautiful with the petunias blooming, but something was missing behind all the expensive Mercedes and Land Cruisers, inside the glittery and full of sham supermarkets and malls, and in city's marshrutkas with glassy looks.
