My trip to India...in a nutshell

I had the time of my life.
Some few things I learnt in Mumbai-
1. When my parents wont stand up for their respect, I will, as I did while I was there, even if that meant going against family.
2. My true religion are my parents, I respect them more than I respect God, even if they dont know me enough.
3. As years have passed by, I have become more and more like my dad.
4. Some relationships can never come back to where they were before. The very last time I had met my brother, I had never even known it was my last time. After that, I have only gone to visit the family he is a part of.
5. I can read a lot of minds, I can predict what to expect, my ambition is to be great mind reader, and I can tell I am doing a better job than before in this department.
6. I cannot(absoultely not) multitask.
7. Written words are powerful- much more than thoughts, emotions, speech or actions.
8. There's no better feeling than donating money in charity/at a temple. Once you've done it nothing will make you ask why you did it.
9. When I was rude to some people, I realized it doesnt affect them. They continued being patient to me and being nice to me. I asked myself why, and I undestood it had a lot to with the way I treated them before I left for Canada. It had a lot to do with the way my parents were there for them and it had a lot to do with the love they just contained for me in their sub-conscious mind. I may not take shit from them today, but the truth is that I have become very honest. Much more than what a mango person in India expects you to be. I still love my family and I would do anything for them when need be.
10. I understood why 3 yrs back I took the decision to not go where family is. At that time I didnt understand the difference between dependent and interdependent. I wanted to be called a self-made person. Today, I realize that I could have taught much more to the people who would have been my support. We all would have become interdependent and I would have never have to come to an empty home. I dont regret my decision-though I confess the reasons why I ran away from family were wrong, for which I have and still am paying a price. I learnt a lot more about friendhsip and family in the process. I see a vision to work in Mumbai atleast for a year in my life. A year in my life anytime before my marraige.

The highlight of my visit was Lalbaag gandpati- A dream long awaited came true. I dont express a lot on face these days. But ya, thankyou for everything!:)
