this post was written in December 2010, but for some odd reason is being posted now...
The thoughts remain the same...
My last post this year but the first one as a married girl! :)
Yes the past one year has been the most important 365 days of my life till date...I met the man for me...grew in love with him...and also crossed 7 seas to be with him!
For me all this is like being born again! Everything feels like its brand new! Unknown territory! Living in a completely different environment, in a never seen before culture, with a man who's greatness was till date only a part of my dreams - is huge!!
I wouldn't talk about how it feels being married - I don't think words can ever do justice to explain this 'highest point of one's life'. But I would definitely like to comment upon how it feels to be in this new country (US).
The first day I landed here, I couldn't get over the supremely cold weather here! I was just not prepared for it! N to top it all...we were welcomed by a snowstorm! Oh how beautiful it looks...the world covered with fresh snow! So pure - almost sacred!
It seems to make the world 'boundaryless' by painting the world in one color! No fences, no gates, no grass, nothing can tell you what belongs to who! It's like nature's mockery of the poor mankind and it's funny ways to try to own what never really belonged to him - land!
But all this beauty couldn't engage my mind enough to forget about just how hard this weather was on my physical self! My feet seemed to freeze inside my shoes! It was so cold that tears began rolling down my cheeks as we waited at the train station (on our way to buy snowboots :p). And there was this gentleman who saw me...and after giving me several futile ideas on how to keep myself warm...he said a thing that I have known but have never practiced - close your eyes and think of something warm, think of India and the hottest months! And be in that warmth - your mind can take you wherever you want to be!
And there I was, standing in the middle of an open train station - trying to imagine the heat in the month of May in India! It was real hard n didn't really help my cause...but took me to another level...where I could see just how different n valuable these experiences of my life are...from there to here...it's been a crazy journey! :d one I can never really be thankful enough for!
Another thing about this place that has really touched my heart is the people! I wonder why the eff no one ever told me that Americans are one of the nicest people you can ever come across! Especially after having lived in India all my life, sweet natured and extremely courteous people all around me seems like such a luxury in life!
Ok I don't wish to go on n on about my first impressions of this place...but I guess I'm gonna have a good time living in this country!!! :)
That's it from me here! Wish you all a very happy new year and the best of times ahead!
