On December 23, more than a dozen people packed into four vehicles and drove all the way from a village in the Kaithal district of Haryana to the Delhi Airport to see Sanjeet off on his long journey.

Friedrich Nietzsche had once said, “The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.” Whether one actually enjoys such a situation could be a bit of a debate, though.

As a reference, let us try to evaluate this real-life experience of a young man from India. Young Sanjeet* was all excited to start his life in Australia. His student visa arrived on time, but then COVID-19 struck, and lengthy border restrictions began.

After what seemed an eternity, restrictions were eased, the respective governments opened the skies for international travel once again. Finally, the day arrived when Sanjeet was to fly to his dream destination, Australia. The whole family was excited. Sanjeet’s friends were more enthusiastic. Everyone wanted to wish him goodbye.

As is the norm and tradition, an elaborate farewell followed. Countless hugs were exchanged, promises of phone calls and letters made, as Sanjeet finally prepared to go through the entrance. It was then that he realised he had left his passport at home.

Everyone broke into a state of intense panic for a while, but nothing could be done as the passport, they realised, was at his home, almost 3 hours away.

A source aware of the situation told NRI Affairs that Sanjeet missed his flight on December 23 and had to take the flight the next day. However, not many people turned up at the airport to see Sanjeet off this time.

The young man has arrived in Australia and is now settling down to begin the next episode of his life as a student.
