Expansion of Boundaries

Several generations ago, one of my forefathers ventured out of the little village of Mahensar in Rajasthan to seek a better life. Not sure what exact route was taken but my grand-father ended up in Bhagalpur, Bihar. The expansion of boundaries from Mahensar to Bhagalpur is lost in the mists of time, but after that, we know what happened. My father expanded his boundaries from Bhagalpur to Amritsar, then Gwalior. And thereafter began the international expansion, with his jobs in Nigeria and Trinidad. The next generation, i.e. my brother Udit and I have now expanded to the USA which is now our home.

From a tiny village that you can't even find on a map to the USA ... what an expansion of boundaries!

I don't know what will happen in the next generation .. perhaps an expansion beyond the planet Earth? Maybe not in my lifetime, but I am sure that future generations of the Mahensaria clan will expand to realms that we can only dream about today!
