It’s been almost 6 years (approx.) of Delhi life that I have tasted so far and I won’t say that I am not enjoying if fully. Yes, there are occasions when I feel I have landed in a city that appears vague and weird to me but then there are certain opportunities and freedoms that I would not have got in any other place, especially considering my College and University.
The decision to leave my family and the cocooned existence in my hometown was of course a challenge for me. I wondered again and again if I would be able to stand up to the rigours that my decision implied. It was not easy for me, not at all- to adjust in metropolitan Delhi and to carve my way amongst lakhs of people. Initially things didn’t go well for me and my preconceived notions about Delhi were strengthened. My preconceived notion said that Delhi was one place which kicked newcomers, trying to throw them out and only if you could “take” these kicks without getting frustrated, would you be accepted here.
