The Caallll - Call it curse or blessing?

                                       It all begins when I was chatting with my onsite manager, when he said my senior manager will call me to inform something very important. My heart started beating so fast that I could hear it. I failed guessing what it was.. Was it my role change (promotion)???.. Oh no how stupid I am to expect it within 2.5 yrs.. Then is it onsite? Yeah there is some scope for it. But my H1B is not initiated in previous slot. So what could be the mysterious call about?
                                          When it approaches evening I was much tensed what it could be.. My heart races with my hand to see whenever my mobile rings but I did not get any call that day. Finally its next day and my onsite manager was online. I decided to put full stop to my suspense and decided to ask him what is all about and finally I asked him too.. But he still wanted to keep it going.. Said I will receive call today.. OMG I have to withstand this suspense for one more day.
                                      Finally the call came from my offshore manager asking me to bring all required documents to initiate my Canada "Long Term" visa.

                                   As in every software engineer's life (Sorry i m test engineer here) Onsite opportunity is long awaited and definitely the one to celebrate. But I m still confused whether I m happy or in grief. But why the word "grief" has a presence here?.. I was long awaited for it. It's one of my aspirations in my career.. But the word long term is creating turbulence in my heart..
                                         Am I going to be separated from my parents for a long time? Am I going to leave them alone at Chennai? They have come all along to Chennai from my native leaving all relatives just for sake of me.. Am I ready to lead life alone? And most important question do I really deserve this opportunity? Will I be able to satisfy the expectation? Will I be able to listen to client accent? Honestly I m the one who cannot watch an English movie without sub titles.

                 Is this called state of mixed feelings... I m experiencing it for the first time the situation which i couldnt call I m happy or sad..

Onsite????? --- Is it curse or blessing? whatever it is i m ready to take it up.. I m going to take it up..
