The trip to the UK is a good 2-3 months away, but, i am already feeling lonesome here in Mumbai. Parents have gone out, and here i dont have friends like i have in Bhopal. Of course, my school friends may be here but to get in touch with them is difficult. To compound things furthur, my body has let go of me, and i have fallen ill. This could perhaps be the toughest phase yet. I am starting to wonder how it would be in the UK, where distances are more pronounced.
The difference being that perhaps i will be engaged in some activity or the other there. It is a new environement, and a chance to meet new friends of varying nationalities. It is this scenario to which i cheer myself to. But, the fact that distances between loved ones will be mre will keep tugging at the back of my mind, and the desire to return home will be huge.
Of course, it is easier said than done. There in the UK, i will have to up on my toes every single time. One wonders at this time for the situation in our country. If only things in India were more upto date with International Standards, then this scenario of Nuclear family would never arise, ironically. If things were better here, then the family could still be one. India has a tendency to saturate so many things, that to pursue something of quality here is a double edged sword. Lack of management of resources as well the unchecked magnitude of the population will be the bane of this country in the years to come. Growth, although visible only in a microcosm, has still not reached half the population.
Inspite of these bitter facts, we continue to love India, because we are born on this soil. No nation is perfect, people make it perfect. The people of India carry romantic visions of the motherland, but balk down when they have to execute this perfection. I only wish things were good in India, then i would not think of this situation of being away from Family and Friends.
