My experience in India

I have been in India for more than 6 months and I have gained lots of experiences over time. I came with lots of expectations and one of which I'm grateful for is the expectation to adjust to whatever I come across here, whether it be the physical environment, the way of life of the people and others.

When I arrived here in late October 2023, I was welcomed warmly even though I was also being welcomed during the winter season which makes the environment colder than back home. I received lots of love from the people I met here, both from my country mates and others. 

My first challenge was adopting to the menu being served at the international canteen. The food here had very little resemblance to the one back home and it took some time till I adjusted to the food taste. Since I have adjusted, I've realised that it is not that bad and the food is actually tasty.

My experience concerning  the learning environment is quite an interesting one. Since I didn't use to watch Indian movies/Bollywood movies, I faced a little challenge in understanding their accent here especially since it was what I should be expected to learn with. As I kept participating in the class and being frequent in class, I started to understand them and they too started to understand me and we, including my fellow classmates and teachers, began to work together. 

Overall, my stay in India is one I am proud of and I'm also grateful to the people I've met and those who have come my way. I look forward to meeting more people, getting more experiences and getting more knowledge also.

Thanks for going through this brief experience of mine. I hope it helps those who are planning to come here and make those who are already here to create a positive feeling towards everything and strive to be successful of whatever they came here to do.
