Little did I know that I was in for a lot of challenges. Preparing for the entrance exam while working extended hours in office left me exhausted. Thankfully, my efforts paid off and I was selected for the course. The bigger boulder now was convincing my family to let me go for the course. As per a majority of Indian middle class families, 25 is the perfect age to start looking for a groom for the girl. Under peer pressure, my parents tried to convince me to not step out of utopia and 'settle down'. With due conviction, I convinced them after multiple attempts to let me go for the course.
Life isn't same now as a student. I am still adjusting to the drastic change in life style. I miss my old circle of friends but I am trying to fill up the spaces with new ones. Unlearning and learning is a real pain. I am still proud of the decision I have made for my own interest. I am sure that things will work out even better again. I will create a new utopia again.
