It's a post saying something about some things i have observed, i have gone through or i have experienced in this one year away from home... yeah... can't believe that i am about to complete my one year....
When i stepped out of my home it was 10th july '08 (dates might not be the exact one...! :P). A gal who has never gone out of Maharashtra going to Delhi....Mixed kinda feelings... fear, excitement and nervousness along with separation from loved ones...
Started a training in Aricent Nalanda, Gurgaon. Though some starting dayz were hectic but started enjoying everyday with new frnds around n new kinda life... Having money though not much work... :P It was fun even in going to nalanda on weekends for studying for exams or tests for what they had their own some criterias n all... first of all we made a decision of living out in PG..! That search for PGs...(yeah... we dint do much as v new nothing abt geographical details of the place... Someone friend's friend came to help us...)N v situated at the place nearby Sahara Mall... A very good PG i must say...(as i got my terrace to spend countless hours at night looking at sky n stars... :)).. Found some different kind of people all together around... the toungues they have, the food they it, the interests they have... some inspiring, some funny n some weird too.... Those auto-rikshaws so called 6 seaters but 14 people stuck inside(Real India!).. for Sahara Mall to Ifko chowk n another from Ifko to Udyog Vihar...!
We made some unforgetable trips during those 3 months span... A place called 'Fatepur sikri'... Wah!! Tajmahal....! Akshardhaam mandir, Nainital, other places in Delhi like Qutub minar, Red fort, Paranthewali gali, India Gate...!!!
The markets n shopping in those markets(be it Sarojini market or Lajpat nagar...) gave a happiness which is invalueable!! Why? obviously that was our own money!!! Our own salary!!! We never spent a single weekend sitting at home(except one i guess... :P)
We had many things to do...! we enjoyed CDMA party, last day in nalanda... each n every moment!!! That's y everyone has the feeling of going there once though never speak it out!!!
Then again the time came when we have to leave behind some new relations we made, a new bond we formed as finally everyone got a location which they wanted...
20th of Oct was the reporting date at the location... we reached in Bangalore on 19th Oct... A city about which i had many imaginations previously made in mind....
Now we got our reporting managers, projects into which we will be working... It started with some KTs n trainings again but had a feeling of loosing something.. donno wat...
Here we had a lot more to face! To settle down we decided to live in a flat...(keeping previous PG experiences in mind.. u know... time limits!!! Who can forget scoldings got from previous PG owner almost every day of last two weeks in delhi... ;)) we moved to a flat after 15 dayz completion in company's so called guest house... I won't forget the very first month in that ground floor flat... It was not yet the time when we found ourselves so much buried under work...! Here also we made good trips like chunchu falls n Ooty..! I visited Mysore with one of my junior college friend... Chennai to attend roomie's engagement..! Can't mention each thing ya...! :)
one day we decided to buy stove n all stuff for cooking(we had this idea of cooking before only...).. but that day we actually implemented it! n here we started our cooking on daily basis...!! (Dont ask me do we follow this yet with same spirit..! of course yesss :) )
We had a moments which we'll cherish lifetime! Be it celebrating birthdays on terrace,sitting downstairs n chit-chatting, playing basketball(no particular pin-pointing here please :P ;)),small small fights with friends, having crushes(don't worry wont start list over here :P :P), some non-talking days, some fights(for the reason we all are actually different in every sense... from language, food, clothes we were n blah blah blah...) but we'll be like WE ARE alwayz....!
Now we are kind of settled down.. having work, responsibilities n sometimes pressure too! I have seen some ups n down in this journey... Some moments which have given me a pleasure along with some moments which took out tears out of my heart..! Yeah... n i believe thats wat life is....

Glad that you got a chance to experience this.. independence.. the most challenging and amazing thing... Enjoy it to fullest :)
Lovely pree! Knowing each one of your trips though kept us updated...I never realised you had so much change in your life! Believe me; with the mini-picture created in my mind I knew how much India you had traversed, but through this post I just realized my map's scale was too small :D. Great that you found the best in what you got! Have a great time and enjoy the independence! Hopin to see you in your new place soon!
Happy to hear that all these undulations have just gone on to make your life better and happier.....i was a hostellite for 6 years (more to come) and i know that that was the time i enjoyed the most.....and got to learn the most.....found my own two feet to stand up......GOd Bless!
