As i had mentioned before, the trip to the UK is more of the new beginning for me in my life. This is a chance to show that I can indeed rise to the chalenge and create a niche for myself without the direct support of my parents and my peers. The first week has gone by, and now is the time when the challenges begin to get difficult.
All of whom i know are now settling down to the place. Each have found their groups, their countrymen and are now getting acclimatized to the place quiet nicely. The fact that I do not join a particular group could prove to be my downfall, but I guess you learn to adapt to these circumstances. Each and everyday, some new thing happens, and we have to take it as they come.
The Idea of a Global patriot appeals to me the most. i know it is Far fetched and this tests the Extremes of Idealism in the world of today. But, i now strongly feel that it is only by Globalization that the Individual can move ahead in life. Of course, do not give Globalization a political twist, but rather, through the effective means of communication, you can talk to people who are diferent to us.
This is the strongest reason as to why I do not prefer to stay in groups. In a group, the same idea runs around, and day in day out, there is this familiarity of dynamic functionings. I have already written a post about "Groupism Sucks", it is because of this familiarity. Groups might perhaps provide an obstacle to a globalized development, because groups are based on Isolation.
The conflict of Globalization and the urge to stick to groups and Isolate themselves from the rest is more pronounced in this Alien Land. This will form the basis ofmy challenge for the remainder of the month, and subsequently, to the whole year. I think i have handled the first week of my stay here quiet well, and i now have to go ahead and continue the good work that lies ahead.
