July1, 2008 (Delhi, India) – Guri dressed in her beautiful green dress says a tearful bye to her parents and starts looking for Geet. Delhi Airport is in a mess due to continuous downpour outside. It has been raining since last two days. Guri wanted to do some more shopping but time was short. She got to know about her travel plans only a week ago.
There, standing next to ticket counter, she spotted Geet as usual talking over her mobile. She was parallel trying to pull the Red suitcase on to the trolley. But it was falling side ways time and again.
Geet had a small frame and long black hair pulled back with a black clip. She was very touchy about her hair and took lot of care. She also got to know about the travel only last week. She is very happy about this trip as since long she was wishing for a short trip to US.
Guri pushed the trolley loaded with two big suitcases and a laptop, and moved towards Geet. By the time Guri reached Geet, she was done with her call. They greeted each other and started moving towards immigration counter absorbed in their thoughts.
July 2, 2008 (New York, USA) – After a tiring journey of 14 hours, Geet and Guri came out of New York Airport. Guri is all smiles and happy about being here. This was a dream come true for her. Both of them are here for a project assignment. She can feel the air of independence around her. They hired a cab and started their journey towards hotel Grand Hyatt. Guri with her beautiful eyes wide open is trying to absorb each and every scene around her. Big tall buildings disappearing in to sky, fast moving cars on busy roads and people from different ethnic origins. Everything is so new and different to her. She is feeling as if she has been yearning for this throughout her life.
Geet tapped Guri on shoulder when she found her smiling all to herself. ‘I am soooo happy today.’ Guri said. Geet smiled. She was happy for her too. Soon they reached the hotel and were settled in their queen size beds after a hot and lavish bath. This was second time for Geet in US so she started telling Guri about few pieces of information which will be required initially. They soon slipped in to a peaceful sleep with smiles on their face getting themselves ready for a challenging day ahead.
July 3, 2008 – Geet dressed up in her black skirt and light blue shirt, is busy reading newspaper. She loves to keep herself updated with the latest happenings. It is 8:30 Am and they need to reach office by 9:00 Am. Office is just across the street so she is not bothered. Guri comes out of bathroom with a comb in her hand. She is dressed up in her favorite black trousers and off white shirt. ‘Do I look fine?’ Guri asked. She had a worried expression on her face. This is her first day in a client office. She is tense and excited at the same time. ‘Yes, you look stunning. Now stop bothering yourself too much. I am sure you will do well today.’ Said Geet with a cute smile on her face. Guri smiled too but she had a lot of things going on in her mind.
It was not long before they were absorbed in the days work. Before they could even catch their breath, it was time to leave back for hotel. The day had been very fruitful and client was very satisfied with their presentation. They planned to go for exploring near by areas before going to hotel. Guri was very much relaxed now and a feeling of comfort and belonging was already settling down in her. Guri and Geet talked about their days activities and cracked jokes about the smart manager who was all the time eying Guri. She had handled the presentation very well. By the time they reached hotel they were too tired to change and slept in their office clothes.
Life moved on very fast from this day. Guri had found a new world here. They had explored a lot of places by the end of one month. Guri had even started driving a car there and now she was completely independent. Geet is going back to India tomorrow and is picking up her stuff, which she has thrown all over the place in last one month. Guri is helping her do the packing. They talked about all the fun things they had done together and how much they enjoyed each other’s company.
July 31, 2008 – Guri dropped Geet to Airport before going to office. Guri is going to be here for few more months. She has made a few good friends in the office. One of them is going to move in with her by next week. “I will miss you’, Geet said while giving a big hug to Guri. “I will miss you too”, Guri said. “Don’t miss me too much else people will doubt”, Geet said with her mischievous smile. They parted their ways and started moving towards their destination. Guri came out of the Airport. She was ready to spread her wings and carry on with the flight of her dreams. Life moves on…..
