How startling it is when your long cherished dream suddenly comes true. Life plays games all the time. As someone said "My favorite game is zindagi". Life always plays insinuating games with us every moment spinning some invisible net of stratagem.
It actually never fails to surprise you so that not even for a split second you loose interest. Because boredom cause consistency and consistency puts full stop. Things turned out to be the same for me. A long cherished dream, years of wait, struggle enormous fights and suddenly one day everything is all set and done. And the culmination is "A new girl in a new alien city". Far away from everyone she loved, cared and spent her days growing up with. Far away from the madding crowds of her city which she wanted to run away from, far away from the hustle and bustle.
Chasing a long cherished dream the girl lands up in a city all alone all by herself. The initial days had to be tough. There was no support, no love that she was so much used to. Even the daily chores felt like the most difficult of things. The very own sky, the winds, the greens all seemed strangers. I sometimes ponder how we get connected with our own soil, our roots the moment we are born. An invisible string which gets attached and you only can feel it when you try to go far and it strains them. I think I would never had discovered this feeling if not I had decided to fly away.
There were daily challenges that kept waiting at every step. They say reality really hits you hard. Everything seems so much hostile.
Nevertheless among all the strangers there were friends too ! After all its one world and human beings from all race, caste, creed are connected too. It takes time and exposure to realize this simple fact. The new girl in the city is no more new. A lot of relationships came and went away. Some stayed close to the heart and some faded away with time but nonetheless all went ahead to be memories. Looking back in time, sometimes it makes me smile how petty scenarios seemed huge, how friends came and held hands in time of need, how foes turned their back. They all are counted as experience.
Sometimes it is so much necessary to come out of the love web and chase the dreams for yourself. The new challenges make you a different person all together and as the saying goes 'Who laughs last laughs best'.
