Dear Aum,
You will embark day after on a Solo journey of a different kind. It is aptly called "The rites of passage". You might want to go someday to the works of Arnold van Gennep to understand the genesis. But let me make it simpler for you. The Rite of passage is a state of transition induced by a separation or shift from an earlier environment, group, or in your case the family, to a new environment which is your school, and then a a return or a reinclusion...

Learning The first thing that you will learn is that any shift or transition or separation is quite painful for us humans, and it teaches us some emotional skills to tackle the pain. I honestly hope I learn some new skills for what has to come...
It is a very emotional moment for us, and the only relief is that you are going to a school which will offer you much more than this busy, overpopulated, and mis managed city.
When you read this, you would have probably spent some time at the school, "grown up" a bit, maybe sprouted a mustache...
Loneliness The empty spaces, moments, and one way endless monologues will trouble you much more than they will hound us. We both and you have to traverse this path together in order to reach a better destination, a better future. The Mumbai city does not offer that morrow...
Friendships
That's beautiful. Lots of friends. Some heartbreaks, some shocks. Some relationships that will last a lifetime. Loads of sharing. You will enjoy this Aum, because you are so friendly, helpful, understanding, and appreciative. You also have to learn inclusion. It is a natural progression and will happen. You must learn to nurture relationships because they are a gift. Friendships are the treasures that life offers. There is little else that will give you more satisfaction than this.
More to come...
