Flying overseas ?? This should help you a lot

Hey! I am so glad that you are all set to chase your dreams, heading to a place far away from the motherland. I hope you have packed all the essentials, your ID, passport, certificates, electronic devices, the capsule wardrobe, instant food, the gifts, the blessings, the memories, the promises and the determination. It will be too exciting to visit, the exotic beaches, mountains, valleys, sands but the sky will still be the same and will remind you how vast the universe is and how insignificant is the distance between you and your home.

So before you leave I have some words expressing bits of my concern to keep you safe and remind you that you are taken care of irrespective of your geographical coordinates.

First and foremost, the climate might not be favorable, eat properly, you might not get the Indian food there which might affect health still try to stick to the balanced diet, follow the regular workout routine, sleep well, avoid stress, dress up in accordance with the weather, take good care of your health, no excuse is permissible, make some good friends too, then only you will be able to work productively. Because one needs sound physical existence in order to interact efficiently with the material world.

Further, living in a different country will make you an oblivion in the beginning, you will have to be a little careful about that because seeking validation of being by socializing is instinctive and within those margins people may execute evil plans, so do not trust strangers, do not hangout with people whom you do not know, meet them in public places only. Keep the official documents and the precious belongings close to you.

Quality of your work will matter. Focus on your work. Do not forget the purpose of your stay there. There should be no compromise when it comes to working. You will not only be representing yourself but the Nation too. I hope your conduct and the quality of work will make us proud as a nation.

Explore, travel, go places where you have never been, try local food stuffs, taste the spices, check out the local artwork, visit the museum, the art gallery, the local theatre, the library, meet the local artists, go to the junior school to see how young humans are shaped and nurtured, closely observe the beauty of the culture tracing back its roots and then coming all the way back seeking its signs in the ruins present today at the corner of some street or in the disfigured statue of a curly haired boy kept outside a museum or in the young boy with curly hair living next door. Try to learn about the possible sequence of the events concluding today making the two societies so different. Look for yet more amazing fact that despite so many differences by nature we are still the same.

Stay in touch with the family and friends, with the present day technology it is not a problem to stay connected, always inform someone close or document your whereabouts along with your companions before leaving for any unofficial occasion, carry your ID proof with yourself, avoid arguments. Please make sure that you are in proper contact with the Indian Embassy, have their details with you so that you can inform them in case there is a problem. Stay updated with the news, if the state has any sort of civil unrest against foreigners.

Shop only the signature stuff that you will not find anywhere in the world to keep luggage weight reasonable, click some good snapshots of the moments you want to keep in your memory forever. Keep cautious of burglars and scammers they might be offering alluring deals for quick money, do not get into their trap.

Being an Indian some of us do not have good exposure towards spoken English hence, feel hesitation while talking. For many universities, who follow English in their curriculum may ask you to appear in a standard test which is accepted worldwide. One such test is Pearson's PTE academic test which serves this purpose. Check out #DefinitelyPTE for further details I think that was enough of advice, have an awesome stay there, enjoy within the limits of safety and never forget India is always waiting for you. Thank You.
