Today its 2 years away from India. Not seeing my parents and best friends since such a long time makes me feel sad. Few days back tears rolled out of my eyes when my mom said "...nehi malum, kitne dino ke baad apne bete ko dekh paayenge" (don't know, when i will be able to see my son)
Well, 2 years was kind of a roller coaster ride. There were happy as well as sad instances. At the start life was not easy, I used to miss my parents and friends a lot. And India, having all its imperfections, still makes you feel proud in calling it your motherland. Though our university is a desi hub but there is something about India which I just can't identify. Sometimes I just feel like being in the streets of Kolkata listening to the continuous sounds from buses, cars, etc. Other times I long being in my cozy home in Bhagalpur. I just feel like going and seeing my India.
Since the last 2 months, life is playing tricks with me. I have been trying hard to achieve something and something or the other is pushing me down the ladder. Sometimes it feels like "When you want something so badly than the whole universe conspires in such a manner that you don't get it". Only when I am able to get hold of that this 2 year fast is going to end. I thank my family members and friends who are helping me a lot in this fight with their encouraging words. Guys, keep the good wishes coming in.
On the good part, I am graduating this Saturday as "Master of Science, University of Florida" :)
My family is really proud of me, as I am the first one from my village to have a Foreign Masters degree :D:D:D
If I succeed in getting a job then it will make them more proud...
Also, I would like to thank my 3 special friends KC, SH and AD(or AG) for the wonderful graduation gift. It was a great surprise.
Wait a few days for graduation photos. Also my graduation ceremony would be live at
