Lost in Mountains

I am just a week away from graduation. Last one and half years was one hell of a journey for all of us. We all have been through a lot. The search for internship, search for the full time job, struggle for assignments and exams. It was mentally draining. I was exhausted, so do everyone. Now that I have a full time job in hand and on top of that I am going back to India to my family, friends and my beautiful city Mumbai, I have every reason to be happy. But I am not. Why? Lets rewind those one and half years again. After coming to Raleigh, first semester was very challenging. Away from home, studying after so many years and that too in a highly competitive environment. But wait, wasnt that the same for all of us? Yes. The fact that everyone was feeling the same made us closer. We all have become one big family. We laughed together, cooked together, celebrated birthdays and jobs together, we cried together. Whatever we did, we all were "together". The thought of this ...

Its been 12 weeks since I arrived here. These 12 weeks of internship have been the most joyful experience of my life in USA. What is that thing which makes this city so special for me? Well, is it because of my exciting job at amazon? May be. Or is it because of the company of the cutest couple on Earth? Indeed. Or is it because of the mountains and the lakes which surround this beautiful city? Definitely. All these reasons and many more have only increased my love for Seattle. But there is more to that. Before coming to Seattle, I was tensed, afraid and confused due to my inner struggles. Well, when I now think about it, I couldn’t find any valid reason for that misery and pain, given that I had multiple jobs in hand, a perfect GPA and above all, I had the most amazing roommates, friends and a family away from home. Still, something was missing. Something which I was unable to find till now. Ever since I graduated four years back, the various thoughts of going away from...

By God. Women. One of the most complicated, misunderstood, insane, random, weird species in this universe. A moment they want to have a cup of coffee, another they want to go on a world tour, a moment they want to talk next they want a break, what they expect is not what they say and what they say is not what you expect.  My whole life I have failed to come across a single woman whom I could understand, funnily I even have failed to come across someone who understands herself. You are out of this world, but you are beautiful, you are a man's need, a secret desire, in fact, you are the most beautiful creation of this world. Be it a mother, a sister, a friend or a girlfriend each role that you play makes a man stronger and it's just how funny that we men will always find a single women by our side in all the ups and downs of life.  You make this world worth living and the way you bring a storm in our lives, it's unbelievable and at times undesirable. Life would be w...

Before I leave, I will meet you all, Where moments will become memories And no sadness at all! Before I leave, Where life is ahead, And I will be on my way I will make you understand, Things which I could not say Before I leave, I promise to return with a smile, Even bigger than now you see, And I will be with you all forever, Because that's where I am meant to be!
