To get along with 'The Change'

                 So finally on 5th December,2010, I entered to a place where I am going to spend the next three months for training. Actually real training was started when I got my joining letter. When I came to know the word ‘Coimbatore’, for 1-2 hours I was feeling something awkward but after wards I made up my mind and with blessings of God I got the strength and courage to come at Coimbatore because at a moment I was ready to leave the job as I have never been away from my home for such long period of time. But finally I am here and here is something about Coimbatore.

                       Firstly, I am an outsider here so from that point of view, I found this city very nice and peaceful. I must say people here are very much helpful and kind towards us. And the most attractive thing about this city is its variable climate. Here you can get Sunshine in morning and in evening gray rainy clouds takes over and feels like winter atmosphere in rainy season. You have a beautiful scenario of Mountains spread around in every direction from terrace; it is a pleasure to watch such natural beauty.  I felt like a stranger for first week as it is new place with new people and above all, new language which is totally out of my reach. Because here you can read only prices in some restaurants which are in English, the items listed are in Tamil so that is the funniest situation. Most of the time, we can communicate in English and Hindi which is helpful. One more thing is that as time passes, the feeling of being away is decreasing instead of increasing which I am finding strange. But may be the city has something which attracts and feels like home. So overall I love this small, sweet and peaceful city. Feels Good!!!   
                   I do not  miss my hometown or my family too much as I always talk to them by video calling. And I have also got too many too good friends here so I spend 'masti' time with them everyday. The change which I feel after coming here is that so many things I have learnt about life rather than regular studies. I came across different kind of people, observed their nature and lifestyle and took good things from that. But one thing I have noticed here is that More or Less the old habit of  'showing off to the society'  is here too. People wants to be too good, too smart and too knowledgeable on front off others. I am not much used to handle these kind of things so I found it strange rather than difficult but now I handle it and also learnt to enjoy the thing. It is really great fun!!!   

                   As everybody knows, I follow 'Happy Go Lucky' strategy everywhere. I mean Live totally in Present,  Never to worry about tomorrow's test and Little bit of planning to perform good. As I admit sometimes this 'Lucky' goes more 'Happy' then she should be so the result are reflected in some tests. But still I think If God has put me in this situation, He must have thought of the solution to get out. So I have no need to worry about the next day or even the next minute. And this approach has been very useful to me in Life because People generally miss their family and friends when they get tensed or when they are in problem, this makes them weak and also they lose their self-confidence to overcome the situation. I never take tension about anything or any small or big situation in Life because I believe that every problem comes with a solution as 'No Lock is made without a key, you just have to wait for the right time and the right key.' Here many people find my strategy surprising as they say,"'How can you be so calm and relaxed? It is about our future." I always reply, "I think my future is not totally in my hands. So I honestly do my best with dedication and never worry about the results. Because I have done work of my part, I have no control over what goes on next so I don't waste my time thinking about that. so I always Be Positive and chill!!!!"  

             So I know I should not do this but still I am advising you to Be positive in every situation as this thing has helped me a lot to adjust and to cop up with the changes which I felt after coming here..... :)
