on the first day ..while we were on our way to Rajiv Gandhi international airport(Hyd airport)…i just thought that i would be happy if this trip gets cancelled in anyway.
but i never expected that i would think in this way…that i would miss South Africa…and i would start writing my memories of South Africa
i am really not excited while going to South Africa..
i hoped for the cancellation of the trip…there are many reasons for this hope..
firstly..i am not ready for an international trip so early…and secondly…my grandpa is so sick that 2 months is a highly impossible time left for him..he means a lot to me..
now..i know..though i am wrong with the first one..i am right with the second one..my grandpa died on the very first day of my travel and my family did not inform me..they thought i cannot handle the pain….this trip costs me a lot…i lost the last sight of my only grandfather..who loved me more than his own kids…i miss you grandpa…
I loved the very first sight of South Africa….the airport and its huge parking lots….with ice cold air…so chilled weather..i am almost freezing..
and then..on our way to the guesthouse..the first hording we passed through is the “Tata Consultancy Services”…wondering about the Indian companies conquering the world!
Guesthouse is really nice…a small one for a group of 6 but still…peaceful..Went for the week’s shopping to the nearest mall(Norwood Mall)..especially Pick N Pay for groceries.
Things are really expensive here..first experience of the day…
Sad to say this…but people started fighting on silly issues…i tried not to mention this ..but it held my peace for almost a week..and so it counts.
But i learnt a few things in practical from all the issues over the week……thoughts of no two persons can be similar..but still when you need to live with them for a certain period of time and if you have no choice to avoid it..then, you need to follow any one among these ways..1.either to love the people around you. 2.or to ignore the people around you.
then only you can live in peace..As humans, we cannot do either of these things completely…and that is the point where problems arise….and there lies the point of true achievement in human life…self control and self satisfaction..
In life..we get to know many things..either in the form of theoretical or practical knowledge…but we do not put things into practice until your whole soul develops a want or need to follow it..Such was my situation then..i never tried to learn from others experiences…may be they did not hit me that hard….to implement immediately.
And then..life went on..we met new people at work..tried to learn new things from them…but enjoyed everything i did..that was more important to me.
All of a sudden..there came this weekend..with my birthday embedded in it..This changed the whole meaning of my trip…made my trip valuable..challenging and a bit worthy.
These things may look silly and simple to others..but are really special and valuable to me..
