Hi everyone.............
Meet you guys again here on my super late post about my another journey to India by my lonesome.
So this has been my second long trip abroad without my parents.
Anyway, I'm doing one of AIESEC project here in AIESEC Jaipur India.
I surfed for many of AIESEC projects that came over my email every single day that completely make me so extremely dizzy of them.
So there were 2 final options of them; which were one project from India and another one was from Italy. I argued my parents about this yet we finally found the brightest pathway out on pointing the project that they thought it might be suitable for me.
Yea, so I chose WAR Project which stands for War Against Rape Project from AIESEC Jaipur India.
You guys just can imagine how challenging and exciting this project will be. Basically it's because I like human right and women empowerment stuffs so much, so that's why I think this one was so ME!
Well now let's talk about the journey itself. So, I took my flight from Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur-Delhi-Jaipur.
It was pretty long and tiring journey yet I enjoyed it so much.
The interesting thing was it has been my 2nd experience to sleepover in the airport. So I made an appointment with a Colombian girl, named Diana that we're going to meet up at the baggage claim on Delhi Airport. We made it, we met up and we stayed together there till our next-day flight from Delhi to Jaipur.
It was kinda fun to meet a person who you never know before to stay together the whole night.
The next day, which was on July 2nd we took a flight from Delhi to Jaipur. We were in the same plane as well, actually also with another girl from Czech Republic, named Eliska. We went to our intern house, it was in Bani Park, pretty much in the center of the city.
The most common public transportation that's pretty safe to take is tuktuk (Bajaj). Anywhere we go we can take tuk tuk, as a result now I have bunches of friends of tuk tuk drivers. They're all funny.
As you're here as a foreigner, you'll get such most common questions asked to you;
"Hi, what's your name?"
"You come from where?"
"What city from?"
"Where you live here?"
"Until when you will be here?"
"wfhjalijariojaeiofmjadklfnarrughadjvnadvjn"
I got them thousands per each day.
Welcome to India!
Now is about our intern house. So basically, I don't say that now I'm having the best experience with the best quality of life, the best house and the best for everything.
I have to live in a basement of a flat, I share the room with other 7 interns;
*a Colombian girl, Diana
*a Turkish girl, Ceren
*an Italian girl, Antonella
*a Czechs girl, Elishka
*Me (have a bed on the corner)
*two Egyptian guys (in front of my bed), Ahmed and Yusuf
*a Moroccan guy, Ismail.
So, Let's be family then!
It was so fucking awkward, you know when you have to share your room with the people you have never known or even met them before. At the very beginning we didn't even talk to each other, we were so freaking quiet. But as time goes by, I started to make some fun and light conversations with them, and we started to be click to each other, especially me with Antonella and Diana. They're both older than me, so we're just like sisters.
So, it was kinda shocking when you realize that now you're going to live for the next 6 months in this kinda basement you've never expected before. All I did was only complaining and continued complaining as hell.
They totally gave me this shit.
This basement was worse before I started to fire and angry to the AIESEC people in Jaipur. We only have fans above our beds which you only can survive with (in this extremely hot weather), we don't even have beds, they're woods. We sleep on a 5 cm wide wood, there's no even a blanket and pillows. We have only one bathroom for 8 people, we don't have any brooms, mops, and even trash bin here.
What kind of bedroom are you giving us?
Well that was my very first shocking day.
But I tried to survive in this new kinda life and I tried to look at this experience from my positive side of view.
Because I really believe that if you look at something positively, you'll get it the same.
WHAT YOU'LL GET IS WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN.
So it's all about karma.
Well, I was not the only one who was complaining about this kinda accommodation and stuffs. But I won't waste my time (that I supposed to enjoy) only for complaining and complaining. Things to be complained won't be last. Believe me.
Today, July 18th is my 16th day here, and I'm enjoying every single thing I get and I experience here. I swear to you guys that I'm now enjoying every single time, every single moment, every single things I get here. I fell in love with this country and the stuffs it has.
I tried not to be too keen of these things, I mean I tried to be a very enjoy and easy person as much as I could. I won't complain about anything anymore, all I wanna do is now enjoying my time here.
Because I know that I will not live here forever, so I don't really give a shit on the facilities that I supposed to get but I don't.
The point is, I won't complain to have better and more facilities as mine in my real house in Indonesia, but I will do one thing, I won't pay the same amount as other guys who live upstairs, who have much more better facilities and ambiance as a place to live in.
That's it, guys.
The thing that I only conclude from this situation is....................................
"Always be thankful, it will surely brings you another sense of happiness"
"Try to look at something that you don't like from your positive side of view"
"Try to be mature enough to face every single situation in your life, it will teach you something new"
"Don't ever say that you have a bad experience on something, it's just different"
"The only one who can decide how your experience will be is YOU, either good or different"
"Enjoy every single time, every single moment of your life, YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE"
"Don't complain too much, all you need to do is only LIVE YOUR LIFE as creative as you can"
Feeling extremely happy to be able to share these things. Got my super amazing life tho. Thank God for all of these things. Alhamdulillahirrobbil'alamin.
Hope this post helps anyone who's confuse on deciding something on their lives.
Namaste from Jaipur, India.
From India, with love!
