India atlast

Finally the countdown is over and here I am... :-) all excited...It is the same old place and the same old people but why all this extra excitement....(did not mean to say chennai has not changed it has changed drastically esp the traffic..ooooh is threatening)...the point that i m trying to drive through is that why does everything about chennai look so beautiful now...It all depends on how you look at life, one trip outside your place makes you realize it's worth....My mom always keeps saying this...Anyways....No complaints and only smiles all the way :)...One of my previous posts was about change and how people handle it....It would be more appropriate to mention about that here...When I landed in India everyone expected a changed "priti"....and were disappointed...same old gal..same looks...long hair..same dressing style..no trace of americanization (i dont even know if this the right word) watsoever....one of them even asked me..."hey did you even go to the U.S of A"...but nobody noticed the maturity that the U.S of A had brought on me....from being the so called "innocent kid" that everyone loves to call me here to a mature person....My parents were the only ones to notice that change...:). They have been questioned and even accused by many people as to why they sent me for my higher studies to a place where i dont know anybody.....I have even heard people say that i cannot survive there as I m this very quiet gal who nods my head to anything and everything and believes everyone very soon and that i cant speak up...but here I am and now my parents are happy that they took such a bold decision on me. :-)

"Everyone acknowledges that change is a part of their professional and personal lives but very few of us expect and accept the change as a reality in our lives - Eastman Kodak"

P.S: Recorded one more song will post it soon...:-)

Hey thts a very nice quote there.. Did u knw Eastman Kodak is headqtred at the place I stay in? Just a useful piece of info..

U cant describe the feeling just be4 gng to India frm here the 1st time isnt it? When i went It was after graduation and after getting work so it just too exciting..

The traffic terrifies u isnt it? I thght everyone in Hyd or Anywhere else were on one mission - to kill me.. Hehe.. u get used to it thgh after a week or so..

Anytime outside ur home changes u and I am guessing it was ur 1st time.. outside home tht is..Good for u.. Have fun

The premise that you are an innocent girl is flawed; and people are not realizing that even after your US of A trip.

When will they wakeup to the facts?

hey Prits.. i completely agree with u... the excitement of going back home for the first time is just unbelievable....and yes staying away from home teaches u a lot of lessons... "Life Lessons" is what i call them...

But Prits is still an innocent girl.. she is a bubbly little girl ....

Stay cool prits..!!!
