Listening to a few songs on my mobile, I sit patiently at the gate. Waiting for the departure call. I keep staring at the wall clock and as I look around in the terminal, I suddenly realize what an amazing journey life's been so far. Why, you ask? Well, I'm writing this post at New York's JFK Terminal 4.
Glancing at the sea of people in the terminal, each to thier destination, my mind drifts to memories of my life about 3 years back. The amazing contrast of my life back then, being a uniformed student at a college, slogging away, taking the packed train every Monday to college. I've even slept on the floor of the general compartment in a train, for a 7-8 hour trip. A trip to the New York just a pipe dream back then, something which was an occasional fantasy which I would drift into as I watch my favorite sitcoms and movies.
Its precisely these contrasts that make life amazing. One moment you may be struggling to make ends meet in India, the other moment you are having a cocktail party on the scenic Hudson river at Battery Park or enjoying the view of the pristine South Beach in Florida. Who knows what life has in store for me next?
