It's not an easy feat, packing your entire life in few bags and leaving behind the only home you have known. Especially for someone like me, who have never left home for hostel or anything. But sometimes, leaving is necessary for growth. I need to get out of my comfort zone, then only I can achieve my true potential and know what I am actually capable of.

What a relief it was to finally reach Delhi after about two days of journey!

First the Rajdhani, we were supposed to travel in, got cancelled. Then, we booked tatkal tickets on another train, but it got delayed for 12 hours. When we reached Cuttack station to board that train, we found out the train hadn't even started from Puri, its destination station. We had to wait for another 4 hours before we could actually board the train and start our journey. And after spending about 36 hours on the train, we reached our destination.

But our journey didn't end there, as we had to travel to my sister's house in Panipat. After spending 3 more hours on the bus, we finally reached the warmth of home.
