*******************************************************

"The passengers of flight number 56023 have......" the electronic sound of the announcing lady is reverberating in the airport lobby. Finally! finally, I've landed in the Chatrapati Sivaji International Airport Of Mumbai after a long flight of nearly 12 hours. Phewwww!

Yipeeeee!!! I'm now in India. Wohouuuuu!!!! I'm so so so so happy. Eight years, eight years I was away from my land. My country which has given me loads and had conveniently taken away loads as well. Ahh, Anaya not again! Nevermind! Just chill and focus on good things Man. So finally, I'm here and is gonna have a gala time before heading back to Vienna. Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet okay so let's do that first. Hey! I'm Anaya Shekhawat, 30 years old working women settled in Vienna after studying there only. I'm a lively person who tries to live this gift to us humans by the almighty called, Life to the fullest. Like every other person, I've my share of baggage..... Ok, will talk about them later. Ooops I forgot to fetch my Luggage. Shit!! *facepalms* Guys gotta go byeee.

Hmm, at last, I'm in my cab. Ufffff it took nearly an hour to find my luggage at the airport and to find a cab for me as well. It had tired me up more now. Goddddd!!! How am I gonna attend the Wedding and its never-ending functions now? Oh, I hadn't told you yet about my purpose here so here we go: I'm here for the Wedding of my partner's cousin. In short, I'm here for a vacation full of fun for 2 days with my partner. And yeah I'm heading towards the venue now. We will rock!

I lowered down the glass of the window to let some fresh air inside when my cab entered the famous Sea-link road of Mumbai. I always love to do that because the air has some sort of belongingness and motherly love in it. Of course, it is natural to feel like this because I've been away for so long but still I don't intend to come back here ever. Umm maybe some occasions like this might compel me but to come back here for forever will be the most difficult thing to happen in future. Hmm, leave it, Anaya. Enjoy the breeze.

And suddenly my eyes diverted towards the magazines and newspapers tucked in the back pocket of the passenger seat and the most surprising thing which has caught my attention was the headline: 'RAINBOW NATION' on one of the crumpled newspapers. To say I'm shocked would be an understatement. I quickly checked the date and it is a one-year-old newspaper hence describing its crumpled appearance. Heck! It's already a one-year-old decision. How come I didn't notice this development? Ah yes, at that time I was tied to a hospital bed. Nevermind. But it's such a historical decision of the Apex Court to decriminalise Section 377, at least now Love will be free for everyone legally. Though the society will take a lot of years to understand this at least now there won't be any legal repercussions for this. Ummm talking about society and being here in my country that too in this windy atmosphere of the Sea link is hitting me with a wave of memories etched deep inside my being-

The first day of college and I'm here being a proper nervous wreck. I'm anxious about how my first day will be. Okay Buckle up Girl, Let's face it. With that determination, I entered my new campus. I tried to hide from every possible senior but how can God be happy without troubling me. *sighs*

Someone behind my back called me," Hey you! Freshie in Black Tee. Where are you going? Escaping your Seniors? Han?"  That's a girl's voice. I stopped immediately hearing it. That was an orotund voice yet it felt so alluring to me. I turned back slowly to face her, of course with fear and didn't respond anything. She first checked me out from top to button and asked me," Were you escaping from us, Seniors?" And I denied frantically nodding in a No. "Okay! It was pretty much evident by the way, no matter how much you deny... Why are you wearing that Old fashioned Watch on the first day? People generally wear new and branded items on their first day, so why?" she asked me by cocking an eyebrow. My eyes welled up on that question. It was a gift from my late father to my Dadi and she has given my mother to give it to me on a special occasion. It was a precious memory of my Father and I valued it very much. On noticing my glassy eyes she started," Hey! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you in any way. I'm not a Senior as well, I'm also a Freshie like you. Look I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were already so scared. Lord! What I've done on the first day! I messed up again. Sorry, yaar!"
