A Journey of Different Kind
It was a different kind of journey last month. A journey that made me realize: “time flies fast!” It seemed just the other day she learned to take her first steps, get her balance and walk.
Now almost into her 18th year of her life she took the first step to live away from her parents, carve out an enriching world for herself.
Ever since the results of her exams were declared 2 months back we were in a spin.
The news of her successful admission to one of the premier technical institutes of India left me dazed on several aspects. One, I was proud, but then it also meant she would be leaving us all.
Finally we parted!
The lonely moments spent while flying back home left me choked, trying to quickly hide tears flowing out uncontrollably among strangers in flight.

Congratulations to your daughter and the parents.I wish her all the best.
This is a real good news. My sincere congratulation to your daughter and to you, the Parents.
All the best to the young lady!
Many Congratulations Indrani di!! Yes I can understand your feelings. Best wishes!
Exciting & I can relate…but, at least, she is in India. Now, my three sons tease me, "Good grief, Mom, you're jetting off 7000 miles from home so you can never mention it when we head off into the sunset."
Congratulations to your daughter. The sadness will fade away as you see her achievements. 🙂
Under Indian conditions its quite a big blow. Now on wards the daughters will be on their own.
I never thought you'd write this post…. full of emotions of both kinds.
Best wishes to your daughter Indrani and once again congrats to you too. 🙂
The treat is still due. 😉
Congrats to your little girl.. little because however big she grows she will always be your little girl for you 🙂
You must be a super proud mom and deservedly so 🙂
Wow, congrats to your daughter! I am sure you will miss her while she is away at school.
Congratulation to your daughter!
Seeing a child go off to college is a bittersweet experience. Although we are proud of them, it means they are no longer our little baby.
Time flies fast and everyone moves on even our children.
All the best to her … it is such proud moment to you and your finally … and yup blr to goa is not that far … you can always fly to be with her plus an amazing vacation at Goa 🙂 🙂

Great news Indrani…she has grown up to be a beautiful lady…let her bloom..blessings 🙂
Best wishes to your daughter. Beautiful shot.
Lovely expression in words! Best wishes for your daughter… Excellent shot
That is life. Slowly but continuously on the move. We do not even realise it is moving.
It's very hard when your first child leaves home. I remember well.
Best wishes for your daughter! You took me ten years back when I, all of 17 parted from my family for higher studies. Mom cried for seven days and I went a bit numb. But these are real exciting times for your daughter. A whole new world awaits her!
Best wishes to your daughter Indrani 🙂 and congrats to u too.. Time for both of you to grow and know more about yourself.. As parents, we tend to limit our life around children.. Once they are grown up, we should reclaim our life back but with them in our hearts 🙂
Nostalgic…nice click!
Yes, one day our kids leave the nest. Time goes by so quickly!
Best wishes to your daughter for a bright future!!
Well done to your daughter! Such a lovely shot. It's a sad yet proud moment for us parents…
That looks cool.
Congratulations, and bless you and your family on this great accomplishment

Congratulation to your daughter. Hope se will reach her dream soon. Good luck!
wow, for the starter I wouldn't have imagined you have an 18yr old!
Congratulations and good wishes for your daughter for more such proud moments. I can't really speak for the emptiness you are feeling as of today….but I'll remember your feelings and be able to relate to it when I will be ready to cross that bridge….TC.
I can understand the mixed feelings of parents at such moment! wishing her all the best!
awww! good luck to your daughter and congratulations, too!
It's never easy to see them move on to their own world even when it is a good move for them! I felt that way with all four of mine!! I'll be holding good thoughts for both of you and congratulations on her admission!!
My best wishes always.. and congrats on getting the admission
