It is always a dream for someone normal to visit a foreign land.
It was mine too!
2 Years back, I was denied permission to visit my brother in Canada. This time in 2019, destiny smiled on me and in return, I smiled broadly. I finally got my visitor visa to Canada.
I was apprehensive about getting a month leave from my employer. However, they and he were kind enough to grant me the same. Smile widened!
Why was I excited? No 1 - I was really looking forward to see my niece, my brother and sister in law after 6 years. They are settled in Canada. The little one is growing up and I wanted to meet her before she becomes a half adult - A teenager.
Okay, so all set for me and I finally started on my journey to Canada, that too at a time of a family event. But I guess the family was too happy to see me go out of India for once!
After a long 19 hour flight, I finally landed in Canada only to find that I couldn't find my 1 bag. After more than an hour, I finally found it lying around in a corner.
And I was on my way with my brother to his home with my niece in the back seat.
Beautiful roads, disciplined traffic (rare in India, but now becoming common) and a great weather welcomed me.
And then finally, a great welcome from the little one and a cup of cold coffee and food!
