I know – no connection at first but let me explain.
In life we always tend to assume about many things. What we like, what will happen, how things will go, how life will be. What not. It is really difficult to escape these assumption trap and think clearly- not always- but many times. We form a translucent layer in front of our sensory organs to filter out the information and feeling what exactly we want to feel that actually what we feel. Most of the times, we perceive things not based upon what they actually are but based on what we assume them to be.
These assumptions have ruined things – relationships, trips, new place experience, movies :P and what not… Enough of fandas..
What I realized yesterday that Tuticorin is not that bad place to be – actually I am loving this whole new experience…
My view till yesterday: When I first came to know that I have to do my internship at a place called Tuticorin I was sad, dejected. I felt like I am leaving the living vibrant world and stepping on some dull boring alien planet. After coming here, I cursed this place like anything. But at least the work was interesting that made me feel a bit better. Such a small town – not options of eating out, no hanging out places, no Hindi/English, no Hindi / English movies, even Discovery channel in Tamil, eating big pile of rice and maida roties every day…. Not my idea of a perfect fun internship!
So I dragged myself to complete each day. I even made a table in sheet of paper and stroke off each day at night! ( Ramya hope you read that ).
Now 20 days old in internship and happy to get stipend, I came back from office early yesterday. After getting down from the bus, instead of going to apartment, I decided to have a stroll in neighborhood. I walked on the street, in and around residential area, inside medical college premise, went to a mandir nearby, found out a market about one km away from our apartment and found a courier place… and I had a big smile on my face. I was enjoying walking there. These days I am unknowingly humming Tamil songs! ( hey, I know I don’t understand Tamil, but music has no language ! :P one more fanda…. I know I know… )
All in all, it’s not that bad as it seemed…
