All Izz Well...

“Di, I got the tickets, I have to fly tomorrow early morning” unexciting voice replied me over the phone. My head started rotating too. I could not concentrate on my work and this news almost broke me down. The news was not at all bad nor was it surprising. We knew soon lil miss is gonna fly to Banglore to start her career. Yet, somewhere I was worried for her. Till now she was always with me. I used to see her every week-end. The moment I used to hear her soaked voice, I could take liberty to see her by leaving everything at my end. Now that she will be away at considerable miles, I’ll have to think of seeing her often for sure. Don’t know but I was not prepared for this actuality for sure.

In total thirteen students including my sis’s were moving to Banglore from Pune training centre. I knew she was not alone, and it’s her time to move on, explore new place and people too. Definitely she needs to breathe in independent air. Finally with all mindset preparations I went to drop her. Flight was at early morning and before flying buddies could reach at airport all their batch mates had gathered to give them sendoff. I was surprised to see her entire batch at airport coming from very distant places, yet managing to reach so early morning. The moment we got out of car, entire group hugged lil miss. I was shocked to see, other people’s love for her. I could see all innocent faces crying and trying to console themselves. For sure they had shared amazing bond, and when their associates are getting dispersed throughout India for job postings all of them getting sensitive. All of them were guaranteeing each other to see in vacations at different places. Few of them were instructing to take care. Most of them were forcing all Banglore posting buddies should stay in same apartments. As and when flying time was coming closer, all were getting touchy. Lot of crying, promising and what not …

My entire mindset changed in fraction of moment. I could perceive now, lil miss is not so lil and she has her own world, where she is protected and people around her are keeping her happy as best as they can.  There was absolutely no need to worry for her. She is really grown up which I never thought of she will ever be at one fine day. The moment I had reached airport, her Di had got misplaced and friends came in picture. But the developed kid made sure, I was alright. All her friends made me sure, there will be joy with them and I in fact was unnecessary concerned.

The moment flight announcement started so many hands waved with one sound…”All Izz Well”.

All the best kido! Hope you have nice time, people and lots of opportunities.

Leaving Mumbai...???

I decided to leave Mumbai not because I wanted to step out of home but to make career. Nevertheless, I had choice to make between couple of campus placements and decide the city.
Leaving my only lovely- dearly sis alone at home and rest Mumbai-gang, I walked away... to make career (no, to make money to be honest)!

With full of tears I had packed the bags. All my relatives, friends were happy that I could get the better choice for my life to start with. I had no clue on it; rather I was becoming more and more emotional towards my decision. After the acceptance step, I started looking outwardly for what I will be getting through.

Indeed to mention I got best friends that I could hold for my lifetime. Colleagues- who could add diverse parameters to my existence and new city to show me `this could also be the way to live`.


Although Mumbai was very close to heart till the time I couldn’t make move back. Not because I love city the most but solely to keep my job-tag with good spirit. The moment I had made the move to Pune, my idea of job was very clear –“I am working for my personal life betterment than making work my personal life for job betterment”. All my passions were going out of touch when I was put in a career-race and I lost the meaning for a period. Now when I want to regain all my energy back and deciding should I go back? My city is really calling me back… exactly when I made mind to move back my sis got her posting to Banglore- another job-hub place. Few of my gang -members had already started dispersing throughout the world.


No clue now, what I am really looking ahead whenever repatriating thought comes up. No matter what, I missed Mumbai, I am and I will be missing it for sure. When my sis will leave for Banglore for sure we both will leave so many things behind in this lovely city, who knows, in future we may just guests be the guests for Mumbai city!  The thought just su*** and the fact is just burning me away…
