On Reaching Scotland....

The day is 3rd Sept.2010, and time is now close to 9.30..... there we were sitting in the living room along with my parents almost ready to leave for the airport. The last minute jitters were on, going to a very different country and that too for a long time, a number of questions start cropping up in your mind, and ten times more questions crop up in parents mind, concerned about their son going to far off place. But it is as it is, life should always be challenged, risks should always be provoked, uncertainties aplenty make you feel more lively and that is what makes you what you want to be.

the time is now close to 11.00 and now we are at the airport and all close relatives come to see you off, and you feel more nervous since you are going to miss everyone back home. You say bye to everyone, and as you take each step toward the entrance of the airport; the more cold your hands and feet get. But as you enter the airport terminal you are on your own, you are in your own ready to rock!!

the time is now 3.00am and they start to make everyone board the plane for London, you enter the plane and take your seat and wait for the aircraft to take off, as it does you realize along with the aircraft your dreams too take off, and ready for the journey ahead.

the time is now 7.40am London Time, and now I wait for the connecting flight to take me to Glasgow Scotland. So there I am sitting at the terminal, observing the happenings of a new country, new people, new culture, new everything! and you realize that how important it is to expand your think tank and you realize that you are not the center of the world. Everything does not work the way you want it to work. Sort of like the connecting flight which takes you to Glasgow from London, the same way the dream which took off from Mumbai, also needs connecting support to actually reach the destination. So another way of understanding why without the support you may have your dreams take off but may not make you reach the final destination.

the time is now 1.40pm in Glasgow,Scotland  and you reach the destination. The destination which you were planning to reach over a year, after working hard towards making getting everything ready, you finally make it happen and you get the triumphant feeling of achievement. You feel in control.

ON REACHING SCOTLAND.... you realize that the .....





THE TIME IS..........NOW!! ........to put the peddle to the metal.... and be the best!!
