In my five years of career, I have
moved and lived in various places, met many people and learned many lessons
from experiences in life. So far I have lived in six cities and one country. It
is now time to say goodbye to Abu Dhabi. This Thursday I am going back to India
with mixed feelings in my heart. I am happy that I will meet my family but at
the same time, I will miss all my friends I have made over here.
During these seven months I have
learned many things. First time I lived alone in an apartment. Living alone is
all together a different experience. You start feeling responsible for your own
safety. Before sleeping, now I never forget to double check whether all
switches are off and the door is locked properly JJ
I learned how to respect other
customs, culture and other things without losing my own identity and culture.
Abu Dhabi is a cosmopolitan state of UAE where you find people from all over
the world. It’s a beautiful and well planned state regarding infrastructure.
I also learned that at the workplace,
it is very important to understand and value human emotions. Many a times when
we feel low or stressed, we need people with whom we are comfortable with. I am
lucky that I have a few friends here on whom I can trust blindly.
Before
coming to Abu Dhabi I was a little bit scared about the new country and new
assignments. But now I can say that if you ever get a chance to live in a new
place just grab it. It will open new doors of exploration for you J J
