Its 26th January and I knew it because today mess is off and I have to travel to RD for having my breakfast. In the past 3 years 15th august and 26th January passed just as another holiday. Though it was a festival for me in my childhood.
It was a very special day in Navodaya. Full day we were busy in some activity be it march past, cultural show, art exhibition or cricket match. I wish to thank Navodaya for giving me a wonderful childhood.
I once participated in the art exhibition and got a consolation prize. I never realized that even me can be on the rankings. I was too happy that day. Now I feel that this thought that I am not a good artist made me a bad artist. Similar things happened and everywhere I thought I am not good at this and didn't even give a thought to learn them.
Class six was a observatory year for me. I expected every one around me was brilliant than me. Though here I thought to compete. I tried and I was happiest when at last I became the topper of my class in eight. I learnt by myself that "nothing is impossible" you need to just keep moving and a have burning desire to do so! I succeeded and I kept talking what made me this? I kept my observation till class ten and by that I was a strong person mentally. Then I realized the power of thought and thought process.
Then after reaching college everyone was somehow like me every one dreamt and worked very hard to get here. Today when I look back I consider myself lucky that I didn't listen others but myself. I was very less influenced by the society I was in.
Now when I look back I see how something was most important than all other things. I was a geek and its not a superlative. How I missed my love because something was more important than this as well! This was a thought that involvement in any other activity is detrimental to my career and I avoided all of them. I might be wrong at this point but that's how I was I didn't take risk when it came to something related to my future.
If you see my dedication you might tell I couldn't get what I set to achieve! You can well think where I might have been had I not put even this much effort!
