my rants! ill go n with my seriously peevey life....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;DAY ONE&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok  so i was like this is it.&lt;br /&gt;you are out of your shell&lt;br /&gt;this is freedom&lt;br /&gt;and i will experience it to the core&lt;br /&gt;who was i kidding??&lt;br /&gt;i was at the airport.....we were there 4 hours before time as my dad has a tendency to get nervous before seemingly international travels only if it was to india. i was travelling alone FOR THE FIRST TIME!! i was on a high.....like pretty much gung-ho about going off ALONE  on a plane and all......money at hand.....buy something good to read ...i was planning my schedule for the duration of my journey whereas dad was freaking out and mom was teary-eyed and my kid sibs excited. i have younger sister in grade sixth ...ill call her sophi and my kid bro in grade fourth...ill name him labs.&lt;br /&gt;but basically i was worrying about my dad putting me under &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;AUTHORISATION&lt;/span&gt; you know the stuff they do to ensure safe travelling for kids......i was 15 and i was gonna travel with the airline escort. oh my god!! this was THE most embarassing thing ever....i mean which 15 yr old teen travels under a minor tag in planes.......i tried to hide my face .......my dad was convinced i would be kidnapped off a plane or bin laden's cronies would chose to have me terrorised.....gosh!!!&lt;br /&gt;so they called departures......i gave big hugs to mom,sophi and labs and a rather subdued bye to dad who looked on the break of a nervousr breakdown....he broke my heart.....i held on and was led away by the authorisation guy who looked old enough to have a go at me &lt;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he made me "sit" down and all and i personally feel he had a sadistic pleasure seeing me being tortured.....but i was all big smiles.....and eventually took off&lt;br /&gt;and that was when it happened..........15 years of staying wid my parents and my sibs bore down on me on an avalanche of emotions and i could not hold on longer.......i (however embarassing it may be) &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;BROKE DOWN&lt;/span&gt;!!!&lt;br /&gt;i hid my face towards the window and cried for all i was worth . something deep in me realised that this was it!! i was away from home and would probably not be back for more than a month....my shell was broken and i was all alone in the &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;BIG BAD WORLD&lt;/span&gt; ............&lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>this blog will basicall chronicle my every move since from 2 years back because my life changed exactly on april 28th , 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am an indian but spent 10 years of my life abroad....that is in the gulf. my dad worked there and my entire high schooling is from the indian embassy school there......life was a piece of cake topped with all the fruities that it could offer. life was pretty cool what with my mom and dad and my 2 younger siblings. me, the daddy's girl .....it was a amazing ten years! but there it at all ends......seemingly gulf schooling after grade tenth isnt all that great and since i had ambitions that touched the skyi had to return to my homeland,my birthplace....INDIA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;let me talk a bit about dad.&lt;br /&gt;he is the most amazing guy in th world and iam blessed to have him.&lt;br /&gt;he studied under dire circumstances and made it to the creamy layer from a small little village somewhere in southern india....u wouldnt probably find that place on an indian map too. he had high ambitions and made most of what he could do under a finacial crunch&lt;br /&gt;and now he nurtures the same from me&lt;br /&gt;oh yes....i have a great dad but i also have a dad with skyhigh ambitions which i can never hope to fulfill. i mean puh-leese he expects me to get into AIIMS &lt;which&gt;or be a bit of  IIT material. right rom grade five it has been drilled into my mind that these iit-ians an aiims people ARE the elite and evrybody else dirt.......nice isnt it??&lt;br /&gt;and me??&lt;br /&gt;hw could i ever disagree with him......promises and lies and still more promises which kept him satiated and making him all the more  expectant of me...&lt;br /&gt;you get the routine right??&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
