The Start

Good evening to everyone reading this, this is my first blog and i dont know where to start from. its been about six months that i have been living in China, for your record i am a medical student under an international MBBS Program. Most of you must really be wondering why China above all places???????to tell you the truth i dont know it myself why i chose China, but now i am glad that i did.

i set off from India on 10th September, 2005, completely unknown of what was in store for me. well i didnt have a very good start though.........on the flight i had to sit beside two selfish and disgusting boys..........well i will tell you the whole story. actually i wanted to see the take off so i requested the boy occupying the window seat to kindly swap places, but i was curtly denied, he was so cold.....and then when i tried to sit on the seat next to him, he "informed" me that a friend of his was supposed to sit there and it was beyond my reach.........how rude is that???????? well even after being so rude he didn't hesitate to ask my help regarding changing of channels and tying seat belt. and later on after the take off when his friend joined us, well it was worst than a nightmare on the 1st night away from my family. i felt that there is no way that anyone can be colder than they were to me. we had to take another flight from Singapore to reach Chengdu Airport (about 3 hrs from my college in Luzhou), and i took an oath not to even look at their faces ever again......

but i guess the 1st impression is always not the best one. in our dormitory, these two became my new neighbours!!!!!!!!!!how hilarious!!!and no one will believe what happened next..................i don't know why or how, these two guys because the closest friends i ever had. we three are now a part of each other. oh by the way their names are Sandipan and Ripunjoy and they both are from Assam. we are so close now that we do almost everything together, starting from buying our very own computer, washing machine to buying our regular groceries.

this is how my journey started and thanks to God i have got something now which i lacked for the past 18 years..............two best friends. in the picture, the boy near the window is Sandy and next to him is Ripu.


For the past 6 months, thanks to my friends, i hardly missed my family. oh by the way people, all three of us successfully passed our 1st semester as medical students.

this is just the start, wait up for the most exciting things that happened to me here in China, but that my friends will be in the following releases.
