After a long time I was happy that my dream was going to be a reality in few hours .....i was with much joy and was congratulated by all my friends, collegues and others (? ;-) ).
I waiting for this day since my childhood.
My family came from bangalore to hyderabad to bid me off...all my mother's sisters' and my granny came to give me a send off.....i was happy and enjoying all these moments which i was sure of missing in US.
the 4 days which were for preparation to move to US was hectic, lots of shopping...and yes lots of calls to attend.....
the support given by Sai, Shami's cousin in Hyderabad should be remembered as he was with me till the last hour ....
and bobby, my little bro in office...he is a charm to be with...he supported me by ferrying me between office home and Mashah alla office......
i got all help and then got ready with all the luggages...2 luggage bags and one carry bad....
on the D-day i.e 24th March 2007, i went to the Hyderabad international airport ( Rajiv Gandhi International aiport as renamed by congress govt there ) with my family and friends who came to see me off.....
those last moments were really so nice and memorable....my mom was almost crying but was not showing it off on her face... all my family gave me some gifts and asked me to take care....
my friends - suri, his roomie caleb, dinu, guru, nikhil..etc...i dont remember others ( sorry, u need to remember that my brain does not have more capacity lol).....each and everyone pulled my leg as that was their last time to do so ... lol.....
atlast i checked in and was waiting for security check....my papa and mom who are bit traditional took me aside and told "harsha, neen maduve agohagidre indiadavalanne agappa " i was surprised and shocked to hear those words and i said to them..dont worry...i stayed here for 3.5 years and did not do anything....will i do anything over there .... lol ......
after that i started my journey to mumbai from where i will be boarding the US flight to NY Airport....
In Mumbai airport i met Jagan who was a TL in REUTERS project which was my first project too..he helped me a lot in my first journey and was there till i reached NY and from there i started to Albany.....
US, the dream land, the land of opportunities.......a country which some people hate , some people dream about... i reached there safely....
Albany is the capital of NY state and Schenectady is the place where GE office is located and am supposed to report there.........
hopefully i would enjoy the stay here
