This post is the first of many but its a summary of what all I have seen and been through in these 23 years of a NORMAL life I have led.
Right now I am in Kansas City, Missouri USA and have just finished my Master's in Electrical Engineering(boring???) from UMKC n wat not... but before I go any further I guess you should know where I started to end up here.
Born in New Delhi on the 3rd of November 1985, I lived my early childhood in a small historical neighborhood of Mehrauli right next to the famous Qutub Minar. Not many expected a boy from that side of the world to reach even half way where I have but I credit every single bit of it to my parents who took all the wise decisions and I owe everything I have to them.
After 6 years of my early childhood we moved to west delhi and things changed for everyone in our family. I went to D.A.V public school and my foundation was laid over there. Although I wasn't extra-ordinary in academics but I did manage and struggle my way through all the EXAMS life threw my way...
I was always more into cricket and thaikwondo all through out my life. Cricket especially comes in the top 3 things I'd do anything for. Be it exam time or whatever I have never missed playing or watching a game on offer. I have enjoyed it so can't help it ;)
I played cricket on every level possible on the streets, for my school, for my college, for my University, for my district, for my state, and for myself and I do not regret it that I did not make it big or realized a dream everyone among 100Million Indians have.
Lets not drift from me know... Cricket can get onto me sometimes... anyways so I was in New Delhi doing the same things I had since the last 15 years that Dad came in one day and told that we had to move to Hyderabad in the summer of 2000 and there we were with no friends no relatives no one in a new city(at least to me).
So meeting new friends, new teachers and learning a new language(Telugu) was tough but interesting so as usual I did manage through all of it...
I have a special spot in my memory for Hyderabad because I actually grew there, my family went back to New Delhi after almost 4 years and I was on my own to survive 4 years of my life in which I had to graduate my Bachelor's degree and also take care of everything related myself starting from bread and board to visiting a doctor when I met with an accident in 2006 every part of the memory brings back a smile when revisited. All the late night movies, biryani, night outs with friends, ragging and what not...
I can go on for quite a bit but lets save it for a later posting...
I have been here in the US for almost 2 years and trust me nothing has been easy even here...
all the roomie fights, uncooked food, last minute studies 4 comprehensive exams cricket, cars, part time jobs and all but the toughest part starts now finding a job after you are done with your studies and keep up to the various deadlines of USCIS and also the expectations of your family and friends...
God Help me through this...
