My first ever blog on a foreign land!
True....it has been quite a while that I wrote something on this wall of expressions and impressions, not that I was avoiding blogging but somehow I wasn't able to get myself to put down my thoughts. Partly it was because of the study load in the first semester, but it was also because of my strange reluctance to not blog. It was a weird, adamant side of my personality.
Anyway, in the past few months I have seen, felt and experienced so many different aspects of life here that it brings a whole new perspective about life. Second semester is over and I am just 2 days away from my much awaited trip to the best country in the world, India. When I came here in January I used to day-dream about my preparation to go to India and I would often wonder how am I going to spend these 360 odd days in this country. But in no time the days have passed and here I am, packing my bags, preparing to go to my country.
It is said that Change is the only constant thing in this world, and the one who accepts this, and adapts to it in a positive way, will be able to cope better with changing circumstances. Easier said than done! One needs to actually go through this change, experience what it truly feels like and then preach to others.
On one hand I am very excited about my trip, on the other, I am a little apprehensive about whether I will be able to deal with the change that has taken place back home. Human mind has a habit of foreseeing events on the basis of what has happened in the past, a speculation so to speak about the future. Especially, if the change is has occurred from better to bad, one becomes fearful about his ability to face it and of the consequences arising out of this change.
A result of the games human mind plays?Maybe....
I am not complaining, that is certainly not the intention of this post. It is just about the experiences you get when you are on your own in a foreign land. It is your life and you have the power to make it or break it. It is about holding your head high, realizing that adversities teach you something and make you a better person and that no matter how bad circumstances you find yourself in, they can not be an excuse to compromise on your values. It makes you realize to keep doing what you are supposed to do by giving your best efforts, keep on going in spite of odds. And yes, the support of family, friends and loved ones does matter a lot. :)
