Hello everyone!! Now a days Adit bhai(in India we call elder brother as Bhai specially in Gujarat) is running busy(he said so!! I don' believe it. hahah) that's why I thought I should help him and talk with you guys for this time. By the way, I am Ruju Chotai. You guys might have wondered 'who is she??' when you read last blog and you haven't then please check  (Just helping Adit bhai to increase his viewership. :)) Well, I am a 16 year old just promoted to 11th Grade. An instant question to a person reading this would be, "How can you even give tips to us?.You don't know anything!" May be you are right. I literally do not know anything but all I can share is my imagination on what would have happened. After seeking the blessings of Almighty and good wishes from his family, Adit bhai set on the sail  for his journey.  At this time, all of the emotions in his mind would be fighting with each other  in order to achieve a great future and the on...

Hello Guys, There are two sides of a coin, Heads and Tails. If you want the coin, you have to accept both the sides. You can not only get Heads or Tails alone. Similarly, after coming here in Germany, one does not only feel good things; there are some bad feelings and experiences he/she has to tolerate simultaneously.  As I stated earlier there are many positive aspects of studying here like, great education, international exposure, learning about new culture, meeting new people, independence, future with big bucks etc. And if I narrate the downfalls then there are few, like more responsibilities, stress about studies; and above all the biggest one: Missing everything; country, food, culture, family, friends, habits(seems strange but yes!!), festivals.. Everything. These disadvantages are not as small as it seem like. When I was in India I did not have time to appreciate or even think about it. But after coming here and spending some time over here, I came to know that these...

Have you ever had a thought or nervousness before going to any new place? I had. Not every time, but some times. There are three kind of people; Extrovert, Introvert and Scared. The Extroverts are not scared of meeting new people, but sometimes they also feel nervous, before meeting someone. Introverts don't really care. They have a tiny area of contacts and they are happy with it. The third type is Scared people. Most of the people fall in this category. They(Sometimes me also) want to meet new people, they want to be friends with them, or at least talk to them. But they can't, because of their inner fear. They know this, and try to overcome this, some succeed, some don't. Then they try to be happy with whatever they have and call themselves Introvert. But they are not, they are just hiding themselves behind that tag...      "Hi!! I am Adit from India. And you?" "Sorry, Emm. I didn't get your name?" "Aaadeet." "Oh! Ok, Aad...

Hello Guys, Sorry for the delay. First week in Aachen. Excited. Scared. Curious. Amazed. Confused. All at the same time. Too much  to swallow and very less to omit. As my classes were starting in October, I had only one agenda for whole week: FIND ACCOMMODATION. I had nowhere to go after 7 days, as I have to vacant my Airbnb home. The place was already booked by some new tenants coming afterwards, so there was no chance for me to extend that period, even if I agree to pay more. And I must tell you that, it is so hard for an international student to find a good accommodation here in Aachen and in most of all other cities in Germany. I tried for months. I started to search for the accommodation in June-July, for the month of October. Still no success till end of the September. In student dorm, you have to register at least before 6 months to clear the waiting list. There is one application called Wg-gesucht, which has most of the listings and in that also, when you show inte...

Hello Guys, As many of you requested, I am writing an overview about getting here in Germany. How you should proceed and what are the requirements. First things first, when you decide to study abroad, you first have to decide what you want to do after studies? Do you want to settle in that country? Do you want to just complete you study and come back to your home? Or do you want to get some experience after completing your studies and then go back to your country? Of course, this decision can be changed afterwards, but if you are well aware from beginning, it will be easy for you to decide in which country you want to go and how much efforts you want to put in. For me, I decided to complete my studies and work for 2-3 years at max, and then come back to India. Just for exposure. Now, let's talk about Germany. Fine country, many scopes and good chances for getting permanent residence. The biggest advantage is, free education. One of the main reasons why I chose Germany over o...

Hello Guys, Thank you for all the feedback for last week. I was thinking; based on your feedback that, was it that good?! I mean everyone who wrote me has only praised it. Are people just being nice to me?! But why would they do that?! I am neither some kind of prime minister or president nor I have power to even change a single day of their beautiful lives. So, There are two reasons for this; that they are actually nice people, who wanted me to feel good or(and) the blog was good. Both the ways, thank you. And other reason is, I am enjoying this. So I am going to continue.                                           --                                                                  " Adit?!? " she asked as I was ge...
