Immigrant

A new country - A new experience - A new Year: To sum up things over the last two months. I made the choice of moving from India to the US in November and having settled in decided to take off on vacation for 10 days. What began as a small planto visit a couple of cities turned out to be an awesome ride across the 5 states. The vacation was different from my usualrun-of-the-mill new years where I end up with a whole bunch of people. This time I got time to think and relax and spend time with myself.
I realized that life had come a full circle in many ways than one - I feel like I am back in school although these last 7 yearssince I graduated from school have been the best learning experiences. For reasons beyond explanation, I have realized that running away from reality only pushes you closer to it. Learning to face it bravely makes a man what he is destined to be.That is quite a contradiction to my beliefs because I have always believed that man is the maker of his own destiny, and yetI talk about what he destined to be - I clearly cannot see beyond the choices I do not understand!
