Life Beyond College...Part 1

Haaaaa Blissss......This is what I felt after the last exam got over. Oh yes..I'm done with this very absurd thing called education and exams. This is what I was longing for years together. To start working and to start earning and to be independent. I whiled away 3 months at home after college got over and was waiting for the call letter. And there it arrived...with a loud big bang. I was called in for my training. I had to leave to Mangalore for a 3month training period. I was barely given 2-3 weeks time to get ready. Guess what..when i started preparing the list of things to be taken to Mangalore...I ended up packing almost a quarter of my house. i was so thrilled , excited and scared too. This was the first time that I was going awy from home. My anxiety levels were too much to take in. All packing done, tickets booked, plans galore. I left for Mangalore with my parents. Settled down in my hostel room. Luckily i got have abt 13 ppl from my college with me. It was such a day...man I can never for get that moment When I said good Bye to my parents. I Literally felt my soul ripping away from me. that was when i realized...Life is not always a bed of roses. I was no more in the cosy hands of mummy and daddy .

They left me there and went away. There I was..standing alone...with tear filled eyes...A very heavy heart and my brain stood still. I was left all alone in an unknown place, with unknown people. I started wondering...Why is life so cruel. I felt like an orphan. Everywhere I turned...I felt nothing but pain, sorrow, lonliness and eeriness. Why did they leave me like this. My mind was blocked and I psyched out. I thought everything was over. This was when my 13 college friends came closer to me and said " Hey come on..we r there for u".....
