Something different

I don't know what it is about Mumbai that makes you want to write a lot.

Actually, I do know.

In the USA, if you are studying, you have absolutely no time to update blogs. Updating on Facebook or Twitter is a big enough deal already. Chatting with friends and keeping in touch with people is a bigger deal. Pressure of studies, projects and no food just takes a big toll on your life and turns it round 180 degrees. It really happened. 12.5 hours behind India. Absolute day and night difference. Really, troublesome life it is.

I don't say this to discourage the people planning their studies abroad, but I say this to prepare my darling juniors mentally to know that it is a difficult life in USA. Something that we MU students are not used to, something different that is totally worth experiencing!

I am back in Mumbai for the winter break. And these past 4 months have been a wonderful journey. I have always wanted to live and study in the USA and being there, I just feel a big change in myself. I can't give names to the change, neither can I explain it. All I know is, something good happened.

Now that I'm here for the vacations, I'm enjoying it. Loving meeting people I love. Loving telling people about stories of my life over there.

I can't possibly write much here, but it's been a nice journey. Looking forward to a lot more.
