At times, you struggle to get something and you get closer to the goal but dont get it in real. i m sure that it happens to all of us in various stages of life.
but as they say in hindi "bhagwan jab deta hai to chappar fadke deta hai", i m blogging about a week in my life that proves the saying right.
But,last whole week, commencing from 19th may to 26th may 2007 has been full of surprises and thankfully all pleasant ones.
19th, (thats last saturday) was my birthday and i spent it in the most adventurous manner ever (but, more on the details next year ).all i can disclose is that i had one of the most wonderful times of my life with someone who is special and vital to me for the rest of my life.
The week moved on with a very hectic sunday (without the sun around it was almost pathetic, but had to put up with the pains with a smile so that work was done) at the college progressing with work packed weekdays.
and then ....arrived 23rd may, 2007, it was my coousin's birthday and like any other day i wished and the day moved very normally until my cell phone rang at around 6.0-6.15,my collegue maneesha was on the line wishing me congratulations.
I was wondering why,unable to grasp the context and stupidly asked her what was the reason for the wishes.
she replied, 'manasi,you have passed your first sem (m.arch) with flying colours and not just that you are amongst the top 2 in the university!" I was stunned and paused until i gulped down the news through my glottis.though i inquired about the rest and congratulated her as well for she was one of the three who had secured first class.
I was very happy and full of emotions.i gushed towards my father and hugged him (something i usually dont).
my eyes went moist and so did his.i am glad that after a long time i saw a smile of pride onto his face because of what i had done.
Thankful to god for helping me get here.
I am slowly realizing that the journey ahead is not going to be very easy, it is going to be difficult since i am now loaded with higher level and intensity of expectations and hence responsibilities.
I saw the attitudinal change in people instantly. i wont mention their names but would say one thing for sure that those people who do not leave you when you want them to leave during your tough slots are the true friends, the rest are fame mongers. i m lucky enough to have 2 such people after my parents who have stood the test of time and have been there in my thin, if not the thick to encourage and motivate me.
And last but not the least the most touching moments for me was the midmorning call that i received only to realize that i would be wanted even i am not successful for i shall be wanted for the person that i m.Guess that if there is success in life it is only if one wins the love and affection of people that one cares for.and if at all there is an achievement to be proud of then its the trust, belief and acceptance from the people you love so much.
I shall always treasure these achievements as trophies, as they are some medals that one begets and they never perish with time.you never loose such achievements to materialism and worldly transitions of concepts.
This might be very much a controversial part of the blog, but those who agree please comment and make my day!
