Finally, Leaving India? OR Just for Travel? Actually, It was for Solo Trip.

Moving further ahead with my story, as I said in my previous chapter I had fixed my mind to go to Thailand only, and before the end of 2002 I finally started planning to go to Thailand. So the person whom I trust I started talking to them. There was an uncle of mine who was close to me and currently lives in Dehradun, he already had a trip to Thailand, so I went away to ask him about the atmosphere, work availability, etc., just to gain some confidence, as I was getting nervous to travel alone to Thailand.

How Did I Plan My First International Solo Trip?

At that time yahoo chatting was in trend, and use to have rooms, so until and unless the opponent doesn’t accept your request, one cannot do the chatting. I also started chatting in the Thailand room and at that time people use to be friendly and become genuine buddies with whom one can daily chat. Every day in the evening I use to go to the cafe to do chatting for a couple of hours in Dehradun.

My USA dreams were shattered in Bangalore in 2001. The course I was taking before studying was a fraud, they locked the company and run away from that place.

Now my Bangalore journey was above to start after Kanpur. As I mentioned in my previous chapter that my contract got over and have to leave the job, so whatever amount I have saved (approx. 80000 INR) I went to Bangalore with that in search of a new job, which was an IT hub. For once, I had already visited Bangalore so I know how the place was, this was a time to find a job. I reached Bangalore and was staying at my friend’s brother’s place.

My Job Search Experience In Bangalore

For the first time, I realized how exactly one stays with students and felt that stuff because I never lived a hostel life and always lived with my family only. It was a totally different experience for me living with students as the way they use to talk, eat, hang out, etc. kind of stress-free life. I was the elder one amongst them as they all were studying. Three to four students were staying together so I thought that I will stay for a month till I got my job, then I will move to some other place once I get the job. The way I had started my life in Kanpur, in the same way, I will do my fresh start in Bangalore. Every morning I use to prepare breakfast for everyone as I was living there without rent so this much I can do for them. After that, I get fresh and up and went in search of a job as I use to have certain companies address with me

After a couple of weeks, I received his mail saying that by train come to Mirzapur and rest we’ll talk over here, so I ask about staying, and he said not to worry about it, everything will be done.

My Life Experience in Kanpur & Mirzapur

I just took my suitcase and purchase the ticket to Delhi via Mirzapur by train without giving thought and was thinking that there will be someone who was going to pick me up from the station, so there was a driver me, I feel good by seeing him and the driver straight-way drop me at the hotel by saying that he will come back to pick me up for office at 9 am. Mirzapur seems like a small village kind of place and I went with him to the office, the office was huge enough with many employees. The driver said to go and talk with the boss, I said ok but was very nervous from within, as was not good at speaking English at that time.

Now, I am moving ahead with my autobiography, as I previously said that in the year 2000, I don’t have a job and was looking for it. My struggling period was going on again, lots of stuff was happening in my life along with my studies. I have degrees but no job in my hands, during that phase of my life, a thought came into my mind that I should go out of India, I had this thought in my mind since I was pursuing a computer course.

I Was Trying Hard To Find New Job

I don’t have much confidence at that time and there was no passport, and my education was also not completed. I hold no certification, I was unable to speak English nor even hold any corporate base experience letter. So in short thinking about all this, I use to think that I won’t be able to go out of the country and the second thing was that from within I had a feeling that I don’t want to go out of India. Many people use to advise me that I should go to Delhi, Mumbai, etc. place to get a good job and there was nothing in Dehradun, as at that time I use to stay in Dehradun. I don’t know why I never get attracted to Delhi and Mumbai, all I use to think was I will stay at Dehradun or will go out of Dehradun but not Delhi/Mumbai.

This is all about the year 1999 when I was pursuing my MBA along with M.com. My MBA University was far away from the city around 5-6 kilometers distance. Now, it was getting tough and time-consuming to go on a bicycle, so I decided to buy a motorbike, during that time Hero Honda was more popular. I thought to buy the bike on loan for 2-3 years of loan time and I can arrange the EMI amount of 1000 INR easily. Actually, this was also my dream to buy a motorbike, my motorbike was black in color.
