My
Engineering was over, at last. I was placed through campus in Infosys. I had
never stayed away from home. Everyone told me, don’t go. When the time to move
away came, my mom was emotional. She told me not to go and instead search for a
job in Mumbai itself.
But
I was stubborn. I wanted to experience a new city, a new environment. I was
always a pampered kid. For a change,I wanted to fight my battle, leave the
circle of love and care and try build my own identity.
I
knew I would have to do my laundry, my food – all on my own. To be honest, I hadn’t
ever washed my clothes nor cooked. Maggi was all I could cook. But it was time
now to explore.
Mysore
was where my training centre was. A beautiful place - but away from home. I felt
homesick initially and whenever I would call home, mom would cry. So I decided
to call every 3 days.
Life
kept me busy during my training tenure. Hectic life - a life where you learn to
become self reliant teaches you many things.
A
new city teaches you to adapt. Given my background, I was spoon fed all the
time. This experience taught me to become self dependent. No dear one to help
me out with things, it was unusual in the beginning.
I
met new people, made new friends, learnt a lot from them. The training centre
in Mysore is among the top 3 in the world. I gained knowledge, not just
application wise, but practical knowledge too.
Most
importantly, staying away from home with limited finances teaches you to manage
and save money. It is an art. It has made me more responsible!
I
am glad I took this bold step of staying away from home and pursuing my dreams.
I
am definitely a better person than I was before leaving home. However beautiful,
nothing can replace home, but yes, some things are better learnt when you are
alone. Time is the best teacher, if you’re willing to learn.
Staying
away from home has given me the exposure I needed and opened doors of great
opportunities. The pressure keeps you rooted to your goal, distractions are at
bay and your confidence grows.
Staying
away from my loved ones brought me closer to God. I started praying often and
thanking God for a wonderful family who I have to return to soon!
This
bold step has changed my life for good – made me more confident, optimist and I
feel glad I took the leap of faith. It worked in my favor. This is my story. #StartANewLife.
Always
follow your heart and let it take you where it wants. Miracles are explored and
you grow as an individual. Stay positive.
