The life goes on and on, what it leaves behind is the trail of unforgettable memories. The true sense of living is beyond explanation but the essence can be surely preserved in authentic words.
This encounter with life may bring tears to those who left Hildesheim when they had got there best friends here, in a way they had seen a whole new world with new eyes.
I was ever interested to come to this place but never thought that it will be so tough to really pack n go. The day when I got the call to go, cried in office toilet thinking I am going to loose the whole year from my life. A place far away…. no friends, leaving my parents alone here. Then friends boosted the morale saying go and see the world it's a rewarding experience. Also the first time excitement was backing my decision to leave India and land in a foreign country.
The Plane landed on foreign land in a cold climate, the days n nights were different here than India. First day to office.. remarkable …I thought I will sleep and spend day at home.. but the foreign silence was killing, immediately got up and went to office. and when I was returning back, saw a girl in saree at bus stop... totally amazed… was thinking Boschlers kept Indian ness alive here in Germany !!!
Who she might be? Later I came to know that it was her birthday that day. She became my good friend. We were sailing in same boat...A year long deputation.
any guesses who is she? Deeps.. One of my best friend.
When the bus stopped I got down somewhere and gosh … I forgot my house, first day, 11 pm. Where to go?. Trial and error and finally found the home.
I was wondering what these people are made up of, they are disciplined, they progressed so ahead of world despite of this strange adverse climate.
Hmmm there were many changes waiting to accommodate me.
The crook that never bothered what goes inside kitchen, who never bothered to prepare anything for him, learned what is happiness when he prepared food in his kitchen for his friends. That's life. The happiness is in living and sharing and not allowing yourself to escape into loneliness and shy away from sharing the moments which one can cherish for whole life.
I have spent one best year of my life here. The feeling of loosing a year has long back left behind and …the learning from life what I gained in this year is simply more than a year. Here I stand Separate, Alone, Strong, Self sustaining.

Before I end up being a part of crowd,
In the end it says "Thoda hai thode ki jaroorat hai" Zindagi phir bhi yaha Khoobsurat hai"
