Oslo - Lko - Oslo -- Life takes a full circle

Life has been nothing but a great journey for the past 16months...but today I won't pen down my experiences of my transition from an MBA student to a MBA graduate to a professional, but more about the my journey to India and how excited I am to be back to my India after such a long time...next month is going to be amazing for sure...

3rd September 2008, I put my first steps in Norway, for studies (of course...what else :) ) and then I learned, if not a lot, but at least something and I can definitely say that my stay here has been very instrumental in developing my thought process and approach, in general. What I am more excited about now is to analyse how my new learning can change my perception of those age-old things which we generally take for granted. Going back to India...will surely be a change...as both these cultures are two poles apart (well...not literally!!!)...say traffic...from a 20 cars/minute to 200cars/min...minimal to maximal honking...right-hand traffic to left-hand traffic...rare appearance of people unless there are any signs of sunshine to lots of people on road irrespective of the weather...organized to self-organized traffic...(and this is just the TRAFFIC...huh...) the list just goes on...

I am surely waiting to meet my family members...who themselves have been eagerly waiting for me for a long time now (It surely was a long wait) ...! Then there is my niece who would have grown up a year from the last time I saw her...ahhhh...how I miss her cute innocence...some more days and you will be able to see her...great isn't it...???

My stay here in Norway has been all experiences...small and big, good and not-so-good...! I have met people of all kinds, my first long experience being 'home, away from home' ! But then life takes you places and that's how grow your perception, thought process, looking beyond the horizon...! I know I still have a lot to learn, but one thing that I am sure about it...
"...But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."
