The Journey Unimagined

Sometimes late at night I lie awake and ponder over my journey of life so far. Well, yes here I'm a little nostalgic while writing this blog because just in a few months time I will be graduating from college and honestly I have no clue what holds next. So in times like these I cant help myself from thinking about all the pleasant & unpleasant experiences that added on to my 20 years of a life experience in totality.

When I rewind back to primary schooling, the school playground, the swimming classes, the P.E drills etc enthral me even now and I possess the urge to get back.

But in those days it was all about moving forward and getting bigger and better and gaining more freedom in all aspects.

So when I just turned 13 I thought this was it, just like the Baby sitters Club, I can live my life like them and have my own club with lots of girls and lots of gossip. But sadly it turned out to be the same, just like I was 12.

Then I looked upto being 16, Oh boy!! what a Bday!! A surprise in Burj-Al-Arab, the most talked about Hotel in Dubai ...WOW!!! I started dreaming like Mary-Kate & Ashley and how they got their new Ferrari just when they both turned 16...but alas...still the same and what made it worse was the Board Exam fever...!!!

This was it...School was killing now and the only thought that ran in my mind then was "COLLEGE..COLLEGE..COLLEGE"!!!!

So yes I turned 17 and there it was a book of options with ennumber of colleges opened with huge arms wanting to embrace me for another 3 years..but leaving everything aside I chose MAHE- Manipal Campus, Dubai. The doors opened and the choice was disastrous but yet I was left with no option but MAHE!!

As days passed by Mahe seemed like a home away from home yet the strangeness always engulfed me and my thoughts seemed to wander every now and then on different life issues..be it Friendship, Relationship or Studentship...

At one point all of them were sailing and the same boat and the next moment all of them would drown together or one would try to save another...It was a game...either a tie or a straight goodbye to one of them...

But in the 3 years every step that I took and every experience that I mistook added on to the so called learning experience of LIFE!!

And I grew so much more as an individual that now I can See the practical aspect of life and think like a mature gal who definitely knows how to deal with life as it comes. Its no more being dependant on people, being emotional for apparently all reasons...my surroundings seem more understandable now that ive started understanding it. Its no more a Fairytale where the Prince is wating for you or a land that is made up of chocolates, or a Happy Ending!!

Its a cycle where emotions, both gratifying and dispeasing are goin to surround you all the time.

Though I want to rewind back time and play all those moments I had 1ce upon a time cherished, Im also looking forward to new challenges that are lined up for me and new people who are going to be a part of every step of my life.

Until then
Adios
