An Unplanned Get Together!!!

1:30PM: Having my lunch at home with my mother after a long and busy morning, suddenly my cousin sister showed up. She had come down to my place for a regular meet as I was to leave to Pune this evening. She was to leave for college soon after seeing me. In talks she invited me to drop in her in her college. We talked for about an hour and then she told me that one of my closets friends in school is with her.

2:30PM: By now I had finished my lunch and was in talks with her and we left for her college. We reached her college and I called him up from her cell phone. The Bell Rang….. TRING… TRING…. He picked up the phone and I had to say what I really wanted or needed to rather. I just asked him to come down to canteen I told him that this was someone special….

3:00PM: He arrived and as soon as he saw me the smile on both of our faces was worth having a look…. (THIS WAS LATER TOLD TO ME BY MY SISTER. SHE TOLD THAT THE SMILE WAS PICTURE PERFECT). His name is Saif Shaikh one of the most sincere students in school was there standing in front of me in his college UNIFORM with goggles hung up in his shirt with beard and mustaches like a PUCCA Loafer…. My Eyes were stunned for a second… A PAUSE… Glimpses of what I had expected were now shocked big time. I could see the contrast in the person’s expectations.

3:15PM: We ordered a cup of coffee and sat at the table for talks. As talks began small small memories of the school days were recalled. All the little mischief of those wonderful days of my life came in the front of mine. The incidents of being expelled from class for late reporting after the lunch break… Being taken took the principal Sr. Muriel for misbehavior….Be it Mrs. Wakare’s mimicry… Mrs. Vimal’s Dialogue…. Sir Varghese acting….. Incident of the monkey showing up in school…… Mrs. Sulbha’s Dramas of discipline….. Getting a beating from Sir Naresh… weather it may be on account of the march-past or on account of a failure to win the basketball matches…..etc etc….. And what not…..The list is endless…….

5:00PM: The talks went on and on until this time I got a call from my mom about my where about that I realized that I had to leave for pune the same day…..

I’ll always be very much grateful to my cousin sister for showing up and giving me an unforgettable and a naughty and one of the most memorable afternoons of my life…. THANKS Krutika thank you!!!!!

Oooohhhhh! A Memorable day!!!!

On a bright and sunny morning on June 5^th, I awoke with a start and knew this was the day I needed to prove to myself what I was capable of. Could I run after my dreams and not only run after them but to achieve them. Got up early and was having my breakfast when suddenly my brain just had a flashback sort of light and all the good things that happened to me in my entire life came across my eyes. This was the moment that I realized that yes this is my day and I could do it. This was the day I needed to perform and I knew it that I was ready.

Those were the days of placements in my college and the day of my first real challenge. I was the only one to test myself.

            I had chosen not to appear for the big brand companies which all of them dreamt of and go for a new company which was in my field of interest and which really mattered to me. This was my first and the last chance to try and to show myself rather than showing others what I was made of. I had decided not to register for any of the other companies with the guidance of two of the most important persons in my life without my life won’t have been as simple as it is. When I told one of them about my decision he had just one thing to say……

“This is your decision and you should be ready to face the consequences. You have made the game the binary and you know what the result should be and what should be done in order to achieve to same.”

            I got it. I knew what I was supposed to do. They other important person in my life approved my decision and just said “GO FOR IT.” These were the words which got me fired up.

            As I was having my breakfast a friend, who was going to appear for the same company met me there. As we talked he told that he too had the same plans that I had and I learnt a very important lessons from him.

JISE KARNA HOTA HAI WO DHINDORA NAHI PITTE. WO BAS KARKE DEKHA TE HAI.

As I talked with him that how he was more clear with his goals and clear in his vision and how much how I could learn from him. As both of reached to the seminar hall I was very nervous and how much he was confident. After the presentation during the aptitude test I thought of only one thing I wanted to do it. As the coordinator announced the result, my heart began beating faster. As I heard my name being announced, I told to myself “First stage cleared.”
