I don’t know why I always try to run away from things
No matter what I do or where I go I always end up facing situations that are uncalled for but inevitable.
I try and prepare myself for them but you can never be prepared for what you always fears
Its kind of subjugation you try to impersonate that makes you or someone feel better but ultimately you know what it is.
Tough but true

Life in the Fast Lane
zoom....yupp it went past my right side, no one to stop, no one to come in front..
suddenly there was whissing sound and it went past from the opposite direction,the noise from the 600cc balckird is like music to my ears and on top of it the thunderbolt of harley makes for a great walk towards the office. Yes I am well and truly in the land of dreams as they call it United States. To be truthful the anticipation of what to expect,how its going to be doesnt last long to our surprise as after sometime we start getting to know things more and feel a part of the place.First couple of weeks wer a bit of struggle but as and when time passed things have changed and am more comfortable now.
subtle things that we are so used to back home are a non-existent entity like to start with everyone greeting so nicely that it makes one feel good. Then seeing all the cars running down the road is another thing which is so very differnt from what we have seen,on top of that the yielding of way by the cars like we are doing a favor to them by walking past them is something unseen. And yes one more strking feature is so less use of horns on the road is so very nice by just comparing it from what we hear. Of all the sounds that i've heard in this stay so far is the sound of the police in case of fire alarms and ambulance. Life is actually governed by certain priniciples here not for ppl who are local but for ppl like us that we have to follow it, questions like plz tel us your social, do u have a state id?,are u having a visa and such things like this would make one have to follow it.
Initially the feeling of loneliness, homesickeness and missing friends and family was surely there with and stil is to some extent but coming to terms and reality is the best thing. Everyday i see a lot of people here who have left their homes and near and dear ones and come so far so many years ago makes me think why? and how they are living? still i find them happy and smiling..all this makes somehow connected to them and feel better.
When i roam around now i think more and better i was i feel. a sense of pre-occupation of thoughts and views are no longer there. Talking with loved ones surely eases the tensions and stress of daily life and adds to the morale of future. Thinking that living outside of home for 5 and a half years would be a good enuff but living here is the real test of one's character. Hope i would succeed and would be able to fulfil the purpose for which i am here....
dedicated to my family and friends who have helped till now in life....
