It would be no understatement to say that America is a land
of bewilderment for most Indians.
It was evident from the fact that people actually “congratulated”
me when I told them I would be going there on a holiday! (Duh!! I didn’t receive
the Nobel prize or something)
Anyway I was excited anyway… Not because it’s America but because I would get to see
new places (isn’t that awesome?), live with my uncle, aunt and cousins –
something I have never done before…
Considering I just landed here and it hasn’t been much time,
I do not really have much to share about this place. Instead all I have is a
flashback of thoughts that make me realize that any new place is worth the
effort that it takes to reach here
I cannot predict the future or something but I will
definitely cherish this trip for one reason. And here it is. When I was
studying my engineering, I always thought I would be jobless in the future and I
would have no future. The feeling had got into me mostly due to the fact that I
constantly failed… understood neither the head nor the tail of the subjects
they taught there. I had resigned myself to believe that that was it! But that
was only for a while… I realized that though all my classmates studied well,
got all the marks and were going to be “placed” in MNCs, I had the desire to do
something different and I was confident I would be able to.
Thanks to my uncle (who I am visiting now! And I should say I
love him!) I landed a job immediately after college – a feat which most of my “passing”
classmates couldn’t do. I know I am going out of track here… But this will tell
you why I cherish the trip.
Okay so I landed the job and that was in 2011… From then…
till today I have always been working… doing some or the other course, a
part-time job, a full-time job or something else.
And finally now I get sometime for myself… to have fun and enjoy.
I am glad…. Very glad…
