USA Syndrome

A post-graduate arrives on the opportunity land of U.S. of A
With heaps of desire, ambitions, zeal & enthusiasm.
He had his alma mater with him!
He had the family support with him!!
He had work-passion with him!!!

First driving experience (from the airport) was overwhelming
the ecstacy of 4-way lanes, fast paced cars and the snowbelts
left an indelible mark on this person's mind.

There was an aroma of excitement and the fear of facing the challenges!
There was exposure to new culture, surroundings and extended education.
Nothing would deter this person from India and finally...
he entered into the world of Oracles, SAP's and Databases!

Like a true Saggitarian, he persisted and made friends, continued being a social animal and,
landed up with an assignment with one of the BPO enterprize.

Tons of water has flown across the river Thames since then...
he persisted with the pleasant/rough times professionally and personally,
he achieved what was achievable and within his boundaries,
he went ahead in his career path...and, ALAS!

Changes occur, the weather changes, snowbelts are gone and so is the job!
What prevails is...uncertainity, trickling eyes and a mist around the halo!!
But, the LIFE must go on and everyone needs to move forward.

He visualizes an opportunity and an aura of hope...
myriads of thanks to the Gargs, Podars, Raos & Malhotras and many more!
Shantanu & Pratibha stood besides him in moments of anxiety,
And, the lesson he learns -
"The only thing which is constant in this world is Change"
