Memories are the only things with us forever. See the light where the sky meets the sea it calls me;I know i'll go....If I call they are just not telling how far will I go.I know everybody on this Island seems so happy, I'll be satisfied if I play along but the voice inside plays a different song.... how deep it goes... and how far I'll go.... 

My 1st International tour to Australia.

Image
' Let's find some beautiful place to get lost' I want something just like this....The first time I landed to Melbourne with lots of hopes and dreams in my eyes. I'm so grateful to my Institute back in India for sending me on Exchange Programe to RMIT at Melbourne,my parents who supported me and all those who have directly and indirectly helped me  & have been my well wishers to make my dream come true. I was stunned seeing the beautiful sight of Melbourne's City lights. I was travelling for the 1st time by flight and that too was lucky enough to travel Internationally. It was an exciting and amazing experience. Worthwhile!
