It's been about three weeks since I first got to know that I would be away from India for a couple of years to study further. The first week went by dreaming and day dreaming about the winter in Europe, about the relatively emptier streets that I have only spotted in movies so far, about meeting Europeans in their pink skins, about having to cook my own food, about managing new currency and much more.
Till last night I was only excited about what was coming my way. But last night, some alcohol and a couple of good friends quite reversed my idea about the whole deal. For the first time I realised (and I would call it the moment of clarity induced by a bottle of wine) that it would need a lot of getting used to making new friends and more traumatically, missing old ones. I realised I would be missing people more than places. I'll miss the voices more than noises. I'll miss hugs and the kisses. I'll miss the chats and debates. I'll miss all those around me. I'll miss them all. :-(
P.S.: Sadly, there's no way I can miss you all. Borders don't matter to us right?

Yup, borders don't matter.
You'll always be just a call away from laughter, help, advice and just good ol' conversation.
And when you can't afford that call, you know we're right there with you. In your head, in your heart. Telling you what we think and what you should do and what we'd want you to do.
As long as you know that, the last four years will have paid off.
For as the very wise Kellie O'Conner once said, "If you have memories together, there is always a piece of friendship inside your heart."
Awww, :-)
Don't worry, you'll love it. At first everything will be new and wonderful, then you'll feel a bit lonely, but you'll bounce back, knowing you. And all will be well again. You'll definitely miss everybody, and the saying 'there's no place like home' will take on new dimensions.
But you'll enjoy the freedom and the independence that comes with it. You'll do great, as always :)
Congratulations and good luck!
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
