The Move

Lets move to a new country, set up a dream home and live happily ever after.  Well that sounds exciting, but takes a good deal of courage and hard work to do so.

I have moved between cities all my life, forever I have been torn apart between two places and more, but I gradually learnt to live with it.  Growing up, my parents lived in a different city and I lived with my grandparents in a place I still call my little heaven (Goa).

The first major move came by when I had to move to a big city at the age of 16.  Was it painful or difficult, I do not know, but yes I hated it.  Having lived in a place where every commute was a scenic beauty, a mere 30 km was covered in a duration of 1 hour with a guaranteed view of the beautiful Arabian sea; Oh I still call it my little heaven.  So when I moved to this new place, a city I hated so badly I had to learn everything from scratch.

Can you believe that a distance of just 340 miles can do so much change to your lifestyle, so imagine a distance of 8000 miles.

It is not easy to shift base to a new country, away from everything you knew and believed in, to recreate a comfort zone and build a world of your own.

To begin with here are a few things that is going to come your way:

1.  Your near and dear ones are going to be sad that you are going so far off.

2.  Feeling lonely is just the beginning when you start packing.

3.  Even the most insignificant thing will be dear to you.

4.  Once you have moved, you feel displaced as in you do not see yourself fit in.

5.   Even the smallest news from home will make you cry and want to go back.

6.  You will terribly miss your friends and family.

And many more.

But let me tell you this, what comes after all this is over is not just rewarding but life changing and for that I wish everyone in this world moved to a new country at least once in their life time.
