Real Beauty!

The blue sky, the steep mountains, and the vast greeneries, the chilling cold never misses to say “Halooo” every morning! This journey of 20 minutes to station everyday reminds me of the epics I had. As I climb up that mountain, it reminds of magical uncertain journey of life where I lived, survived, felt true love, made lifelong friends, stood on podiums claiming the records. It also reminds of the dark mistakes, lost good friends, let people down, and lost good jobs. This bright morning makes me find the real beauty of the life, Pats on my back and says,” Bring it on, my lady .Experience is a good teacher”. A voyage all my own.

Transformation rarely announces itself with trumpets. It usually happens gradually, over time, and then -- clang! -- A singular moment chimes. These days I started living with the REAL facts.

Beauty is never in the people, it is in the eyes of the withholder.  No wonder, I really could take it when a guy told me I am fat, unattractive and boring.

I always waited for a day where someone would walk into my life and make me realise that the world has just two souls- He and I. But matter of fact is no person can totally complement each other as to sweep off the world to make it a fanatic dream for you!  Ultimately when you give something, you don’t get back the same...may be measured in expectations or in truth. Where giving-taking is involved...there is no balanced strike.

Well… bottom line is Loneliness in these silent husky breezes along the woods at a pleasant sun rise is the best thing that can happen to someone… 

Destination Deutschland !

August, 2012

That was the last week in India. I was kind of running around for visa, last minute shopping and loads of farewells. People are getting little emotional while few people are envying. Not to say that I was little discontent leaving the comfort zone yet I have a profound dream and clear ambition in life. I guess this is one big chance to prove my stance and my talent.Probably a pass for new life too.

After a heavy emotional farewell, I was finally aboard. It felt so rosy and so peaceful. Serene it was. I was just that utter magical silence. No love. No hard friendships. No hauntings and no spying. Just no relations. This time I could feel old me and purest form of me. Heart clearly instructing on the ambition and mind totally focused. 8 hours of journey also did not tire me. Probably at that time I haven’t had any idea what is ahead me in few hours.

Dutcheland : Land of beauty and city of my dreams, Could not think anything except jaw-dropping at the sky scrapers.  They looked promised too in hiring me in  few months. Well.. That was not a hell lot of a dream but I wish it is the nearest reality. 

Single girl...60 kgs luggage... new city and the language as the main barrier; took an elaborate 3 hours to find my house and settle.

Then the reality struck. Dreams lightly got shaded and needs are craving to be fulfilled. After a 5 days of not so easy struggle, finally found an Indian couple on one of the shuttling trains I take to university who readily help me with rest of things.

Day one in the university: 200+ students … average GMAT score 670... Students from 57 different nations on a single platform and realising how special we are to be admitted – just an awesome feeling. Coping up with the best has now become one of the KRA’s as my track record helped me waive off my masters Prep semester (A semester which has to be taken by people with GMAT below the average and also for students with non-business background). I guess my stars are really bright and I was one of those 3 students who won the scholarship for the semester.

After a series of episodes, I finally managed to settle great with all formalities in place. Excellent infrastructure and superb global exposure and most importantly a great place to be. 

Sessions began and I get to know few Indians are around the campus and I hurried to catch up with them and I get to know everyone lives in my student hostel only … And amazing part is they r the students of IIM –A, B, C . Few students from NUS and AIM . I could feel the pride running in my limbs saying that I share a classroom with the best Indian managers.

This is a place where you are valued special for what you are ; probably more than  the dad’s princess and the king’s queen. Over all… I am loving it… nice people, new life and new stories and new world.

“It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.”

Probably one of the best places where you can see the sun set and fog fall on the river Rhine and a clear peace of no guilt living! I miss no one and I wish to have not many too. 

Await the next post.. Am on a roll to tour around the Europe :D
