i am back again after a long hiatus.i guess it has become a habit for me as i sit to write every blog.i am away for long and when i return life has changed for me in a little way or the other.
i had planned a lot for this year.i wanted to write my gre and i have written.i wanted to fly to Germany and surprisingly i got the chance to do so.The feeling of landing up in foreign shores had been a long term wish for me for quite sometime.Coming from a middle class background some dreams seemed quite out of reach when i was a little girl.However my mother taught me to dream.Always! She said if you don't dream,you don't aspire.And if you don't aspire you never gonna learn nor dare to do things in life.
The moment when i got the news was quite numbing.i wasnt expecting it at all.But the moment it was out that i would travel,i just dint know how to react.i was ecstatic.i might seem very burgoise in penning down such feelings but this is how i exactly felt and i am gonna say just the way i felt it.My parents had tears in their eyes when they heard this.My mom always had big dreams for me.She is a brilliant lady but being a homemaker for more than 30 yrs is not a very enterprising job.even with my one year and a half of work i am already thinking of the next step.i wonder how mom feels at times?
Not to move beside the point,7th of July finally arrived.A hectic day ensued in office and finally at night i left for the airport.Deba and kk came with me and it felt good to have them beside me.My colleagues brought whole of their families.So we got quite lost in the maddening crowd :).
Finally after all the formalities,we sat down peacefully waiting for the flight at 11:30.Spoke to all my loved ones.Mom,sis and etc.How time flies!Finally the call was there and we boarded sharp on time..The next morning when the LH 755 landed in Germany it was like a dream come true..i just couldnt believe it..i had made it on my own and there is no feeling greater than being able to live upto your dreams! May fortune always favor the brave like it always has....
