Still remember the day, I left my house to embark upon a journey that have added one more life in all my different lives. Yes, The professional life. Little did I know at that time, that it will change me. I still remember that time like yesterday.
Like almost everyone I got a project outside Delhi, for me it was Bangalore. The excited child in me was happy to leave this wonderful city "Delhi" behind to explore the new city awaiting for me. The city I have been living in from last 21 years of my life, I was ready to leave it just to explore the city ahead of me, not even knowing what the challenges could be. But the emotionless bit of mine, didn't even think of what will happen to those whom I am leaving behind. My family, friends, and the local chat corner Bhaiya who always knew the right amount of masala in my chat. Or the street hawker, who never needed my permission to sell the thing to me and I always used to buy that and devour on the little Chuski that cools the summer down in Delhi.
There he was, the man I looked up to while growing up, the man who raised me and made me what I am today, My source of inspiration, My Dad, standing right there with me to see me going on journey and find my ways in this tough world by my own and enrich this life with all the new experiences, waiting ahead of me.
Little did I know, what was waiting next, that was the day for the first time in my whole life I saw a tear rolling down his cheeks as he saw me going away. And the next 2 hours of flight was, I guess the most difficult one for me. I landed and first thing was to call him and inform that I have reached safely. As I did that and came out of airport.
I took a deep breath in the city of gardens "Bengaluru" and said to myself "here I come."
Tune in to know, what happened next on the first day at office.
