Moving to a new city often comes with challenges, but it can also bring experiences that shape a person’s outlook on life. A woman has shared how living in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Dubai at different stages of her life taught her everything from adapting to new cultures and handling everyday responsibilities to understanding the importance of professional networking.
“I did not learn how to be an adult until I moved to a new city and had to do my own laundry. Here are three cities that I lived in which shaped who I am. First, Bengaluru. I was born in a small village in Andhra, and I was studying in a Telugu-medium school. “Second, Hyderabad. I never had a hostel experience during my college days, so I always wanted to live in a different city. So, I took the first opportunity when I got a job. This is also the city where I first joined a gym, bought my own groceries and also did my own laundry,” she added.
At the age of 10, my family shifted to Bengaluru, and I was suddenly introduced to so many languages, cultures and people.
Bengaluru literally showed me the world when my world was literally my village,” she said.
