I think I am super lucky! Very very lucky! Truly deeply madly! and in a couple of minutes u'll know y! Before I came to U.S. I stayed away from home for a couple of months and I had made the decision of my life...that I am never gonna do this to myself again...I can probably never ever stay away from my mom....
...but then before I could realise it was time to come to U.S. for 3 long years.... I was least excited... and my parents were almost sure that I would run back home in just a couple days...2 weeks at the max.
But!!! I have survived for almost 1.5 years now...and whats keeping me going is the big question....
Is the bad akka ..good akka chorus....
No ...u cannot wear this....u are not allowed to show off ur knees....
this color is not matching... these r pants.... u need leggings!
no homework for u......
time out.....
well these are the words of my best friend cum sister cum teacher cum student cum dress designer and the sweetest little thing.....'charmi'
We have had conversations.....like ....y are u so sad akka....and I go...oh I have so much home work...and then charmi goes...and u dont want to do that rite.......
I am like ....ya...
And then charmi like the wisest thing on earth....comes by and tells me all the little things that bother her like...how all her friends in montesary have graduated....and shes all alone.....and how she misses her friend vedika....She makes me feel that both of us have almost the same worries...
and then I could have two perceptions of life...that either life isnt really too difficult or its just been difficult almost forever now...so I should just get used to it!
And either ways I dont have a reason to complain.
And then we both just giggle and end up watching some tom and jerry episodes....
Now u know y I call myself lucky.... I have a little angel who charms me 24 'o' 7!
There is more to me being lucky...really..... I have this jumping doll...who teaches a 23 year old gurl how to jump...not just jump....he comes up with the most hillarious of jokes ever....
like 'bell tower laka laka anindi'.........this ones a little contextual ...so i'll tell u about this in detail someother time....
so I have an angel, a doll...and what more......
Two amazing people......Madhavi aunty and Mahesh uncle.....
One's a friend and the other a mentor....
I cant get a better friend than Madhavi aunty...
I have fully taken over their guest room......
Every time I look at Mahesh uncle and Madhavi aunty....I feel like a happy go lucky 5 year old....whose just not interested in growing up !.....who loves her soft blanky and a too too......
Before I conclude....I would like to mention one small incident that I take a lot of pride in
It wasnt enough that I was forgetting my phone......my keys.....that.in summer...as I rode my bike to almost every place..I had to carry a helmet.
thus another thing on top of my list to forget.....
Mahesh uncle kept reminding me about it...
but I remained committed to my forgetful nature.......
and so one fine day I was in a class..and Mahesh uncle walked in with my helmet just in front of my professor....
My classmates and my professors eyed at me...like...are u really a grad student.....
and I was like yes...I am the luckiest grad student ever! Truely, madly, deeply...
The first day I came to U.S. ....all I could ask for is one good friend.....but mere paas toh pura package hai.....one complete family which is in true words 'Home away from Home' for me!
