Papaaaa... I took the job that I applied for, in Goa. Have to shift this month itself. As I said this, had a lump in my throat, but the excitement overtook.
Then started, me calling all my family and friends, giving them the news, never heard people be so happy, well it was a great opportunity and everything moving in a fast pace, realizing that maybe this is the last time I will be in Ahmedabad and say that I have a home here. some friends were really sad as we will be seeing each other a lot lesser now. maybe not for another few years or until one of us is getting married. So finally the day came, everything packed and ready to move. No idea of how will I be able to survive here, all alone, new city, unknown people, and to top it all, it was my first time living alone.
'First few days went by very fast until mom and dad left for Ahmedabad and now I was on my own. Did not know how to pass time, I don't like watching Tv and so would be mostly on the phone trying to find signals so I can talk to people or watch videos on youtube, but one does not get it all until they finally do. I found my place of solace, at this beach just a few minutes away from my place, I started to visit it often. one of my favorite places. Just going there standing with feet in the water, not talking to anyone, trying to get calm and feel the soft water touching my feet and the cool breeze as it slowly flows through my hair and between my fingers.
Staying alone I learned how I will have to be strong everytime I needed something and there was no one to help. From changing bulbs to buying groceries, getting everything right was my job now. This indeed started as excitement and shifted to being thrilling journey, but here I am, all settled, all chilled, yes I do still need my mum to tell me how to do stuff, but I have learned so much, every day is a new challenge, so earlier it was a task for me to eat alone, now it has become a habit, even though I can have a company for at least one meal a day, I choose to go home and eat out alone.
2018 was a great year, I took myself to eat out alone for the first time, got to shop from my own money (yayyyy), started taking challenges in the best form possible. All this but still I haven't been able to take myself out for movies yet, I'm still trying yes. just like today, I went to the multiplex but could not go ahead and buy the ticket, well one new thing at a time. One day know I surely will do it, just not today, oh, and also I have learned to cook some superb dishes, ah, big time achievement.
So have you had that experience of taking yourself out for movies/dinner or somewhere else? let me know your story in the comments and share this post with your friends. Don't forget to click on the ads. Thanks :*
