The Real World
It's nice when you get together with a friend and talk about Life. There is a certain comfort in knowing that there is someone else out there who views the world in a similar way.
A couple of weeks away from embarking upon my university life, I asked her what India was like. Her reply, I believe, can only be applied to India. Real is what she said it was. Life in Dubai is a fantasy. And only after stepping out of the comfort zone that we live in, will we know how big the world really is.
Running out in the rain, crashing into an auto with your bike and just getting up and going on with life, standing in an overcrowded train - things you can do only in India. In addition, there will be those new 'being independant' experiences - washing your own clothes, cleaning your own bathrooms, cooking. It's overwhelming sometimes. And sometimes it's scary. And sometimes, it even seems like fun.
Anticipating university life is truly one big melting pot of emotions. I've been told to enjoy it all though - the good times and the bad. To enjoy the experience. To enjoy living in the real world.

Life in India truly is a roller coaster ride. You can hope to meet a variety of people in a single day. Polished professionals, uncouth urchins, willy shopkeepers, unasuming helpful and sweet strangers, strugling bachelors, inviting prostitutes and ruthless officials can be part of the drama of your life everysingle day.
If you beleive that all the world's a stage(Shakesphere)- this stage is going to be the most memorable one in your life.
Good luck Mel
