Aloha phrends.....or wazup dude/dudette......
Today I wil unleash upon you the doings of bob a.k.a. me, who pretty much himself doesn't know what he is upto...
The past 1 month has been surreal, since I shifted to the US of A , apparently to study and pursue my passion of teaching financial planning to the world.
Every morning I get up , expecting my mom to hand me a sizzling cup of "jaaago re" tea, but for that she would have to travel quite a long distance.:P
I take my instant bru cold coffee....and stare out of the window....looking at people engrossed int their own lives....like I was back in India.
Being an alien in a foreign country, makes you realise that all over the world people are the same, oblivious to how the other three quarters of the world lives like.....
The stereotypes are the same, the aggressive banker in bank of america, the concerned neighbour, the frightened to wits freshman students.....not much has changed except the scenery......
There is nothing called as "change of place" I have realised......we carry
our baggage with us wherever we go, projecting the same world and evoking the same feelings as before.....
To experiece a more wholesome life, rather than shifting places....I think we should change friends :P......that in fact gives a more fresher perspective than migration.
Maybe I havent made much friends out here, which gives me the feeling of not connecting with the place......I appear like a carricature drawn within a beautiful scenery, who the artist realises , could have been avoided.....:P
I read a beautiful blog , where the authoress very accurately points out the reason for monotony and boredom but fails when it comes to giving a solution , or maybe ther is'nt one.....
Anyways, these events have definitely made me enjoy life as small pockets of happiness, which are spontaneous and in the present...and not as a quest for a greater utopian paradise......Maybe this is what is known as maturity ...:P
