Having Said That...

“Foreign Dreams Stayed at Home”
Situation
Gurpreet had plans for Canada. IELTS coaching done, file prepared. Then his father’s small transport business began struggling. Relatives said, “Business will manage.” Friends said, “Once you leave, you’ll never look back.” His father said nothing directly, just worked longer hours.
Thought Bubble
If I go, I’ll always feel I escaped. If I stay, will I always wonder?
Having Said That…
He stayed. Business was messy, stressful, unglamorous. Years later, it stabilised. Gurpreet still feels a pinch when friends talk about foreign life. His father never mentions Canada. That silence feels like approval.
