Rohit had a flight to London that day, he was going abroad for the first time so he was a little apprehensive. Rohit’s maternal uncle had a large clothing factory in London. Rohit had studied economics in Delhi from Kirorimal College and was a promising student from the beginning. Rohit wanted to study further at London University but his father wanted him to take over his family business. Rohit had the opportunity to go to London to study on one condition that after completing his studies, he would stay there and handle the business. Rohit was not particularly interested in the business but he could not even disrespect his father. After a full fifteen-hour journey, Rohit reached London from Delhi where his maternal uncle and aunt were waiting to welcome him. After reaching there, he was surprised to see the glitter and glitz there. Seeing big buildings and houses made of glass, he felt as if he had come to some other world. Rohit’s English was very good, so he did not have any problem in talking to anyone there rather it seemed that he was a native. Upon reaching the university, his eyes were left wide open, he had never seen a college so big in his life, where came students from every country to study, including many Indians too.
