Few days back my mother asked me a question “Since your sister and other cousins are ready to get out of house and face the real world, what is the one thing that would you ask them to do (or not do)? What is the most important lesson you have learned in last 8 years?”
Answer to this was very simple – never keep yourself confined to one group. Looking back I can see how mingling with different sets of people have made me learn so many new things. Mingling with different people not only help you adapt better and easier transition but also paves the way for new set of learning. Understanding others, their viewpoint rather than protesting and being reluctant to change, makes it much harder to adapt to new settings. In last 8 years, I moved to three different places – every place had different language, culture, eating habits, climate, political viewpoint but transitioning to any of the places was never a problem for me.
