India and I



It all started when I discovered that this life is more than my city and the people in my city and this was 9 years ago. I was young and restless , I had a great group of people around me and we grew up being invincible till the age of 14 years old , when I moved in another part of the city. 

It was then , when I became more self aware , shaped my strong points and curiosity became part of me. I started to visit a lot of cities in Romania , to meet people from all over , and leave footprints on the hearts of many more. I was falling in love with places and people every single day and some of them I still love and nothing will change that. 

I started my journey outside Romania in 2006 and since then I have seen around 10 countries and 1 dot in the Asia Continent, a quite big one India. Why me and India or India and I ? Because here I have the chance to be with people from 28 countries , work and have fun , experience diversity in culture.I love India , I love the experience here and I hold on to my natural me so that I can have the most out of this experience. 

Sometimes when you look at the reflection of yourself in a still water all is calm , but if the wind blows then the image becomes blurry. This is how I can describe India and Me and India, sometimes we are warm and chill and sometimes blurry and from this I learned that even if you can't control everything you can still make your choice without changing who you are. The contrast here sometimes makes you wanna run away and sometimes to explore more and more , lose yourself in others life , at least for one day,hour, minute.

India and I = rainbow , sometimes needs a rain to come out and when it comes , you have so many colours that you are just amazed and share the whole not only one of them. If before coming to India I had a self awareness quite complete , now , here , I question that. Here , respect is respect , people are warm and honest and these are some qualities that from my point of view most of the time, Europe lack.

 India and I = challenge . The challenge to be who you are , to not lose yourself in people from so many countries , the challenge to adapt and be flexible in the same time, the challenge to questions and be rational , to appreciate more the warm and calm part of you and be these things, challenge to overcome and forgive , to explore and admire and the list goes on. 

India and I = Friendship . I have found here some people that will stay forever in my heart , they are honest , warm and kind , smart and beautiful and never stop to be like that no matter what, I love them and I really appreciate them. 

India and I = Love . When you feel love , joy and happiness , even if it is an inside one , it means you are in the right place. India and I = the craziness of the storm . I can see and feel India with my eyes and heart open or closed, I close my eyes and I see India , I see it even with my eyes opened and I can't make other explain how this happens, the craziness of the storm is in me and me now means India . 

Kind regards,
