The metro was racing through the underground tunnel when I was all aware of the crowd and when the sun shone I had drowned in thoughts...
It was 7th of August. I woke up as early as I could. "This is the day!" I told myself. "This is what I have been waiting for since a long time now". I wore an ear-to-ear smile the whole day. There was a chaos at my place.People had already arrived. I knew it was big for them especially after what my image had been all these years. Never-ending backlogs, drop-outs had all suggested I would be a perfect example of talent unused, wasted. But today, all that has changed. I am leaving for United States.
While leaving for check-in, I took a glimpse back, waved at everyone knowing I wouldnt see them for quite some time now. Their eyes shone with lucks and wishes telling me "Dont throw this away.Take care and do well!!!" With a glut in throat and chest filled with pride I disappeared.Wearing a dapper jacket and jean, I felt like a celebrity. I have always loved the classy stuff and thats what I was being.Through the journey, I was reading the letters my friends wrote to me, Greeting cards enclosed with photographs, and heartfelt wishes. I was thinking I would do this, I would do that and I had covered 12875km even before I was done my do's.
Travelling to MY APARTMENT,MY HOUSE, I dint feel as if I was in THE STATES. Same roads, Same trees but, the sky was different. It was perfect blue with preen white clouds scattered; Something, that we always see in movies...
Thinking about sky, I started looking at it and started wondering again, " Why is it more beautiful here?" The revisit was over. I was in sunlight. Travelling in a metro, visiting some suburb, lots of NEW people around...
and proudly smiling, '' LIVING MY DREAM!"
