A 5-part story of ‘growing’ happened within first 48 hours in the land of free!

Believe it or not, in just 48 hours (or less), I transformed from a wide-eyed dreamer with aspirations of studying in America into a self-reliant man. Who knew adulthood came with such a swift delivery service? Certainly not the curious boy I once was!

To my delightful surprise, my mini stories chronicling the first two days in America garnered more attention and heartfelt responses than I ever imagined. Huge shoutout to all of you for the overwhelming response, comments, and kudos. Your enthusiasm is like a shot of espresso to my writer’s soul—much appreciated!

To make your reading experience as smooth as a jazz performance, I’ve rounded up all five stories in a neat chronological order in this post. If you start with the first one, the magic of technology will seamlessly guide you to the next, and the next, and so on.
