Leaving Pittsburgh

Today's is the last day I am going to be in Pittsburgh.I am going through a mixed bag of emotions, my student life is coming to an end .Am I feeling happy being relived of all those assignment, project work so on??I do not know, I am still feeling a little dazed .

Am I looking forward to a new life ,a life of my own , being independent, working in a IT company ?... hmmm that at least sounds positive to me

Surprisingly I am am not feeling sad at leaving Pittsburgh,apart from being aware of the fact that I am going far away from some of my very good friends.But in this IT age, long distances do not mean anything.

The reason I am not going to miss Pittsburgh apart from the fact that it is a very morose place for student's would be that I had a long struggling period to get my job. In this period I found new friends and lost trust on some of my friends whom I thought I could count on, but as they say "In life everything balances out" , I was delighted at having found some very good and trustworthy friends.Ironically I got close to one of my dear friends after a very bad fight.

My most memorable day's in Pittsburgh would be the period where in I stayed with my friend's in their house for doing my project. Right from my "Ultra heavy" milk consumption to my cooking fiasco, where the kitchen almost caught fire and all I was trying to do was to make Maggi (bought from Indian Store) , I still wonder , how the hell that happened??. Then how can I forget the way my friends almost rolled on the floor with laughter when I was cooking (trying to ) and asked for BLACK DOTS , I could not remember the name of mustard seeds so I blurted out the first thing that came to my mind.

I was really happy talking , sharing and fighting with these three guy's . Well , it is said "all good thing's in life must come to an end", and with my Master's coming to end and all of us relocating to different parts of the US to pursue our professional goals, did exactly that. Well that's life.A big change in me was that finally I started listening to my friends.I guess that has made me may be a little more patient and willing to hear out things .

I believe the reason for my disappointment was my high expectations from people whom I assumed to be my good friends.I failed to judge people.

I have learnt a lesson.I must treasure my friends. I can learn from them and their experiences .The only way to be happy is to be independent and be self reliant .
