and i did it..


Some day , some time in August about four years ago..

A thoroughly city born, bred girl ... left her home..to start on a journey ... a journey to learn ... to create .. to meet ....

She left the city for a place thats connected by just the one road with the world outside... so secluded and closed that even if a world war broke ... it would hardly affect that place's existence ..

A place where mobile's were an endangered species....

A place where the sky was really sky blue... a place where the river changed colours with seasons.. a place where the birds actually sang on trees and not in ventilators.. a place very close to heaven... a place called Sikkim..

She met people who found her weird... people from places she did not even know existed on earth.. she learned..
she got despised without a cause and loved without one... she felt...

and despite the fierce blows of time and circumstances, she kept going...

She grew from a girl to a lady.. from a teenager to an adult... from no one to an Engineer...

The journey started four years ago.. now draws to a close and she starts on another journey yet again... to learn, to grow.. to feel..

and the she happens to be me.

So bachchi badi ho gayi hai.

Anyways, you are just making me jealous by describing the beauty of Sikkim and that too with a pic. The pic is great.
