A hue of Orange, Green and Blue on the horizon. A thick, woollen carpet of clouds underneath. Four magnificently huge, metallic birds flying alongside. This is how England welcomed me into its boundaries. The first sights of the astonishingly huge city, London, were awe-inspiring. Everything till this point, including the landing was smooth.
The excitement, the anxiety (of sorts) and the anticipation had taken the better of me, while I was standing in the Immigration Queue, obviously oblivious to the unfolding, fate had designed for me. Little did I know that this pleasant welcome was to last only for a few hours and a calamity of greatest magnitude was to shake my world and change its landscape forever. Within a few hours of my arrival, I was on a flight back to India. I had lost my Dad, in an accident.
I was unsure of returning, I had no clue of the steps to be taken next. I saw no future. It was a devastating blow on my family. Everything for the time being seemed – fallen apart. Yet, I was sent back after 8 days, to pursue what was supposed to be my Dad’s dream. Leaving behind my Mom in the safe and strong hands of my sister and support of my entire family. Leaving behind all my loved ones and the most loved one too. I thought, at that moment, that this was in the best interest of everyone. I still wish to believe it.
However, I came back. Joined the class very late. By then everyone had been quite nicely introduced to everyone. And I had only one acquaintance.
The journey after that has been quite an experience. Got into trouble. Had dangerous quarrels with my dear one. Got into financial trouble. Made some awesome friends. Enjoyed my visits to several places. Had plenty of new experiences. Got to know that time zone differences can mean a lot. Not being physically present also hampers a relationship. First few examinations were good. Cold is very bad. People are quite relaxed and appreciative of your efforts. All in all an amazing place to live in. And the most important lesson…In GOD we must trust, for he will never take away what you deserve and what you have earned. You may face catastrophic difficulties, but he will definitely reward you.
Attaching some pictorial memories of the journey so far…

Once we were chatting about your plans of flying abroad, where came the discussion about money arrangements, and your dad.
I discussed not more than few lines about your dad, but it is more than shocking for me. I can understand what a state you would have been in.
Hmmm., everyone comes for a reason, goes for another. May your dad be with you for all your good deeds..!
And I had seen most of these pics in orkut, earlier. Third photo, you look like MJ
And the most important lesson…In GOD we must trust, for he will never take away what you deserve and what you have earned. You may face catastrophic difficulties, but he will definitely reward you….
