Hello, Change!

It feels unreal how in a night everything changes. And that is exactly what happened with me. One night, I was cribbing and complaining how I have a monotonous life and the next morning everything changed. For good, I believe.
So this is my first blog post, from out of my comfort zone. From out of Nagpur. And how different things have gotten. Right from waking up to a new hostel room, to standing in queues to get my meals, to struggling to wash clothes on my own. A 360 degree change. Well obviously I am still in the process to adapt to all this. And I will reach there eventually.

Manipal, a beautiful city just a few kilometers from Udupi, in Karnataka. So green, so fresh, so breezy! And the rains you have here! I have not explored all of it, but from what I have seen and come across, I am pretty sure I will be able to make the most of this break from Nagpur’s heat.

And the new people I have met here, from so many different spheres. I now understand this is the exposure, people kept telling me about. Yes, I miss Home. And nothing can replace any of that. But this is such a big step towards being everything I ever wanted to be. So I will live it up!

It seems a little scary at times, when you don’t have anyone around to seek guidance from, or anyone whom you can just run to with all your problems. But there is support from those loved ones, irrespective of how far we are from each other. And sometimes just those few special texts, the perfect timing calls, make up for everything. It is too early to miss Home, I keep telling myself. The journey has just begun.

What I intend to do when I am here is affect people’s lives for good. “Know” them and let them know me. A give and take relationship perhaps. Give and take the smiles, the joy, and the happiness!

Obviously nothing can replace Nagpur, all Manipal can do is help me get what I have always dreamed of! And in style!

Till then, this Change is beautiful.
