A LESSON FINALLY LEARNT!

Sometimes very small incidents change our life by a huge extent. Well it was just yesterday and i was still in my “haven’t got a single call from a company” mode. It was evening and i had been to the nearby lake just to feel better. Luckily i had a camera and was taking some snaps of birds there. I had finished it and suddenly i heard someone saying hi. I turned around to find out that it was my lecturer who taught me CAD in the first year of my engineering. He casually asked me how are you doing? I told him that many of my friends are placed in multiple companies and i haven’t attended a single interview yet! He said you’re spending great quality time . I saw you taking snaps and how involved you were in it! You know something its not easy . Youth today loose their hopes over pretty small things even when they have so many opportunities. I’m glad you were enjoying your time.

Placement , something that makes a student believe himself and also standardizes his ability. As depressed i was of not having heard from a single company i stopped living life. Life just went on the way  it could probably go. I started becoming isolated and far from everyone. No new clothes , no buying anything new. Finally i started doubting myself and my  abilities. The hurricane of not being placed hit me and hit me real hard! I was shredded into pieces. I  even stopped talking . All my friends wondered what’s with me because i was always a blabbermouth. Well life seemed to have driven me into oblivion.

Coming back to the evening at the lake, i wondered what he told me about and it lead to the inception of a  series of thoughts in my mind!  I know placement or even attending recruitment programmes builds a lot of confidence in you. But it doesn’t mean that you cannot succeed if you you’re not placed! I’m not saying that we all can be Narayan Murthy , but becoming ourselves is the greatest thing that could happen for us . The greatest person we can ever become is ourselves. That’s when i felt that without drawing and writing my life would’ve been so pale. There’s so much to life than just success or failure. All we have to remember is to keep trying. Life is to enjoy! Doing what you love the most. So whenever you face failure, draw someone’s portrait! Help someone find their moment of success! Write something that comes to your mind! Feel the chilled breeze in the evenings breath it in and feel the love in it sent by someone somewhere in this world. When it rains get wet in rain, get your clothes dirty! Hangout with your loved ones! You’ve got just one life ! Live it like never before. Don’t spoil it because of someone or something. Life is a gift to be enjoyed not to be sad upon. Nothing heals wounds the way  time does. Just keep yourself interested in something and you’ll transcend through any phase of your life! Celebrate success and failure equally!

We all come across such people in our lives who although, are not close to us impact our lives to a great extent! Help us realize what we are. All we have to do keep our eyes wide open to everything that we come across in our lives and we’ll surely have our share of sparkling moments of our lives! Cheers to life! Cheers to the greatest gift of God!
