The experience of being away from my daughter was something I had not  imagined. I had thought I will feel lonely but it was more than that. The thoughts of her doing so many things in a new city, in a new college, in a new atmosphere and that too all alone ....were that made me sad. Little things that were so insignificant at home were difficult to adjust in a new place. Food was a major issue.
I was remembering my Mom how she must have felt when we moved from Delhi to Bahrain. She must have felt very bad and lonely.
