Every day hordes of people migrate from their native to
different parts of the globe to fulfill their dream. Some travel to
study, some for pleasure, but most for work. Settling down in the city
of unknown is a challenge of sorts for any individual. Away from family
and friends, life in city can be a bit monotonous. It is like making a
new beginning altogether.
For person moving to a metro has to grapple with lot of issues.
Accommodation for one, a person has to go through tedious process of
house hunting,the rents as it is are sky high in most cities. One also
has to go through the hassle for house hunting every year or at least
get in with all legal matters of renewing one (this is the law I guess
so no complaining, but imagine doing this every year). After procuring
the house, one has stuggle to get the basic amenities required. Traveling is
also a dilemma, considering the fact that one has never traveled in a
jam packed trains of Mumbai or Tokyo, facing the maniac traffic in New
York or New Delhi. One also has to deal with various political parties
(at least in Mumbai), rooting for localities right for job, house & what
not. You also have to adjust with the pace of life in a city.
Maintaining the monthly budget is difficult to adhere. The biggest
factor that one face when move to new city is intimidation. Some get
intimidated by the concrete jungle, some by the free spirited
localities.
You have to sustain and make some sacrifice to achieve your goals. As
the adage goes, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.
