It has been a long time since I wrote last :P -:
Bidding goodbye to friends and family is indeed difficult. Goodbye never is good is it? Moving to a new country, would be a challenge. New culture, new types of people, new places to see.
When I was informed of the shift. A big step. Moving to a new country. I was over excited, after all it was the first time I was going abroad;not only for a mere vacation but to live, to stay! Not in a hotel but in a house where I can act crazy and not exude sophistication. Not where I have a limited choice of food but a chef (my mother) to cook whatever I want. X)
It wasn't difficult for me to answer when I was asked if it was fine if we moved. I never thought about the friends I am leaving behind. I was too enthusiastic about the long long long vacation. The new friends made me feel happier but I had to tell myself not to expect anything because usually my expectations lead to disappointment.
The final day with my friends; I never thought of it as the 'last' day. I never felt that I was going to leave the next day. I was aware of every moment. (never wanted to be unaware).As my father says "enjoy every second of your life" that was what I was doing.
That was some day! (Nostalgia)
Then it was time to get my blessings from my grandparents. They were very emotional. It was obvious. Their children are leaving for another country; further away from them. I was very sad. I told my sister who stays close to my grandparents to never let them feel our absence. She said she would. :) I love her! :D
Now 3 months have passed since that day. The experience has been wonderful and still is. New Country. New city. New Culture. New School. New Friends. Wow huge change in my life. I have been in touch with almost all my friends. And I miss them a lot though I am quite happy here too. They seem to miss me! :(.
I always skype with my sister. So no missing her. I mean there is always a little sadness in my heart..since she left for hostel 2 years ago..I think 2 years :P
My grandparents are also spoken with daily. I too talk with them sometimes. :) they are fine. at least they tell us they are.
Our settling down was quite easy with the help and support we were given by many people!! A hearty thank you from me to them. The house is in a perfect spot, a nice sea view. School is great; and I think I have fit in quite well.
But there are always debates with my Indian friends about which school is better. I have decided to just remain silent about it :)
one day .. one day that wasn't going very well for me; Out of frustration i burst into tears and started remembering the days with my friends ; that got me down.
But now I am used to it. I have moved on. Forgotten about the past. BUT NOT MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY! <3 you guys.
