Another Memory For a Lifetime ...

In one of my previous posts I had written ....

" When we want to relive the experience, we should know that we experienced true bliss. ........ Going by my theory ... is it true that I have not been truly happy since long? Or is it that the happiness that some of my past times gave me was so enormous ... that everything else fades in comparison??"

I now realise how close I was to truth. Yes. I had not experienced true happiness for a long time after the 'L' chapter of my life ended. What had actually followed were short sudden bursts of being happy. Thanks to almighty, I now have another period in my life, when I experienced true happiness.

I am talking about my US trip. Surprise? Well, so was I. In my previous post, I had written how everything went wrong at the start of the trip and how I was not looking forward to the trip at all. Well as often happens, underdogs sometimes outperform and the very things from which you have no expectations leaves you completely satisfied.

To start with, my bag which had been lost by the airlines, was returned to me two day after I arrived at Q-Center. But that is not what really made my trip. I would say it was my attitude towards all that had happened that made for a good start. I had decided that whatever has happened cannot be changed. I could sit there, cry, curse myself and God for all but I decided that none of this is going to help. Instead I chose to make the most of the trip which I did.

Secondly, I would have to give it to Q-Center. Although I firmly believe that people actually make or break a place, but if you take that apart, in my opinion it was the most beautiful place I have seen in my life so far. Especially since the autumn season was on, there were 'Mohabbatein' style leaves everywhere, trees in red, brown and yellow colours and an air in which there was no pollution at all. There was a beautiful pond which I could look to from my room window which made the place look like a fairy land with the fountains and lights in the night. I have yet to come across a more comfortable room than I had. Everything that I required or did not require was present there. And the staff was so good. Sarah, Lori, three cheers for you!

Finally, I was very apprehensive about the company I had. But then people are just different. They are not necessarily good or bad. And I somehow allowed myself to open up and interact with as many people as I would normally not do and by sheer like found a very good company. Whether that good company would translate into a friendship or not, cant say at this time but then it made all the difference to my trip.

Although, nothing can ever match the time spent at 'L', this period has still given me another memory .. for a lifetime. (More to come on this trip :) )
