“For the 100th time..” Laura rolled her eyes..
She was angry.. So was I.. Again London.. The place which appealed so much to
eyes in Bollywood movies .. The city termed as “city of dreams” was suddenly becoming “the dreadful city”. My
last UK trip was a bitter learning experience.. The ugly side of selfish friendship..
some hard feelings crept up in mind each time I think of it . After all life cannot be like the pretty
pictures we click to put on Facebook
. Yes, it hurts when you try to cover up “so much” for a so called friend, so
many times and they keep no stone unturned to hurt you just to satisfy their
ego. Call me drama queen for this , but I would still say : “Even to be a drama
queen it takes emotions and if you can’t respect emotions.. It’s your
incompetence not mine.” Life did show me the cruelty of real things!
But Wait !! Wasn’t that was like 2 weeks ago. My assignment
is due in 5 days.. Hello.. I don’t need no learning experience no more. I am
tired just want to sit down and write nonstop assignments.. Me being the last
minute girl explains my devastated reactions! Pack my bags n head to the
airport! But was it really bad the last time? Didn’t I realize that God has always
sent angels to protect me ?A little bit of him always is present in people
around me.
It was proved when I met few people in my life, Flash Back:
Sakwimba, Preeti and Carol , I do not know how would it be
to have a own sister coz I never had one. But the way you guys have loved me ,
I cannot think words to express my love and high regards for you. The day I arrived
in Bradford from City of Bath , my self-respect was wounded and belief over
friendship was feeble. But you.. lovely ladies retained my faith on people
called “friends”. Thank you for everything my girlies.
On my way back from Bradford to London I met Amulya Mamu for
the 1st time. I do not know if angels exist, but I have seen one now
I can claim that. I have never seen such a selfless man in my life. He cared
like my dad.. cooked for me as my mom, guided me like a teacher. I don’t know
how to describe the regards, but all I can say is , in my prayers his name is
definitely included.
When I met Pandey uncle and family I was more interested in
“parathas” than knowing them. Aunty cooked amazing food each time I went to see
them. On 20th jan when I saw aunty I don’t know why I felt so empty
from within. Suddenly mom flashed in front of my eyes,I wanted to hug her and
tell her she means a lot for me . This was bound to happen, the 'ties of food' are immensely strong and me being a foodie, this whole thing made me go “Emo” ..
Just the way it should be in Bolywood..
I do not know when I see the people mentioned in this
scribble but all I know is in my prayers, their names will always be there.
So coming back to the present, this was probably my last
visit to London. My Accounts exam was a lesser disaster than I expected (Thanks
to Pradeep for teaching me on FB, that’s what u call Remote Support ) .I was able to finish Economics assignments
in 2 days (Thanks to Kailash and Sourav for helping me and Pallavi for the
super sweet encouragement).
Laura was always there to bear my stupid anxieties and last minute drama . Life is on a Roll again! Bradford-->London -->Perugia-->Spoleto .. each memory is worth cherishing!
your lifez been alwayz adventurous, so it aint a surprise about the ups nd downs in ur life. but am happy u r protected by angels around you.. nd plz..i understand u gonna hate me for this but control on ur love for food !!
