... see you on the other side

And thus I have run out of time :) Praying will not help anymore, unfortunately. Its not the first time, nor the first night before I left home. And yet it feels the same. A little blank, a little nauseous, a few fluttering butterflies and a little sad. But there's a difference this time. I chose this day. It wasn't decided for me by others or circumstances. It was a conscious, thought out decision. And yet it feels the same. Doesn't matter whether it was the kid in class 4 who didn't want to leave his parents but circumstances gave him no option, or the young man who was told that Reliance provided a better prospect for his career even if it meant that he had to move to Gujarat or the not-so-young man who wanted to prove that he could do what he wanted to do, when he wanted to do, just to prove himself.

Funny thing is, its not really that bad. Its not like I am moving far away to a place from where I could not come back home. For all I know, this could be exactly what I needed. The perfect balance of independence/responsibility and the comfort of home. In fact, a lot of you reading this might be far away from home (or the place that used to be home once). But then over time, you tend to get used to the new place and that becomes home. Change and movement is continuous and such is life.

I look forward to Pune, the new job, the new people. At the current juncture, this is exactly what I needed. Will it help me achieve what I wanted and what all this was about? To tell you the truth, I do not know. It doesn't seem to be. Maybe if I concentrate on the path rather than the destination, the journey would be a lot easier and interesting. Who knows maybe I'll get adventurous and find a better destination to travel too. :) That's the thing about it. The possibilities are endless.

So with the hope of a better and more interesting life, I put my current life on hold. I do not know when I'll get to write again, but I'll be back soon. Until then, goodbye and goodnight. I hope to be back asap. :)
