New Places….

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
