My Life....

I wonder if I can call myself a good human being. I'm no saintly figure neither do i boast of any great humanitarian acts. Then what could possibly be the reason for my existence. I've always been notorious since childhood and learned most of the lessons in life the hard way. I was blessed with the most loving and caring family that I could have asked for always there for me whenever I've needed them but I Still wonder if I've been doing justice to them or should i say " Do i really deserve this love and attention?" To think of it, let me admit I've never worked hard for academic scores. I was least bothered and I still believe I'm into the wrong course at the wrong time. I was not a bad student, but never took a liking to academics. Thank God, I'm blessed with some wrinkles in my brain that I can capture parts of whatever is taught. IF only I was more persistent and hardworking.....

Most of us dream to live a life of a Rockstar, Actor, Cricketer etc. I was no different, except that i woke up early from the dream. Though I had a brief stint as a sportsman playing Badminton and Cricket at various levels, it never catapulted me to reach higher levels and I remained one of the person in the crowd who disappear without anyone knowing their existence. Those days will be missed when we played for pride and honor be it at school, university, state or national level. If only I was inclined towards studies.....

I have always been blessed with good people for company right from my childhood. As a person I was extremely shy, timid and an easy target for the big boys in school but I was in the good books of the teachers though I'd not say the same for the grades i got(Laugh n Wink). My friends were a great bunch of guys and girls who shared their tiffin box if not anything else (LOL). Ok, I'm kidding. I have had a great group of friends right from my pre school days. Some of them having played a vital role in my development as an individual. We played together in school, because when they were studying, I was still playing on the field (LOL). Some of my friends will always be a part of me in some or the other way. I have to admit that we did have our up's and downs in the relationship, but what the heck you still need someone to fight with at the end of the day. They were with me till H.S.C
After which they went out of town for higher studies and I lost a year doing extra curricular activities. If only had i not lost that year......

After moving out of Ratnagiri, I believe that I've really changed a lot in terms of knowing myself. Though I would not say that I've transformed myself completely, I felt certain changes in my mindset, behaviour, likes and dislikes etc. Pune really made me feel at home right from the word go. I finished my graduation there and I've tried and experimented on different things which I could only dream of while in Ratnagiri. The city with its youthful appeal made me see a bright ray of hope in the worst situations. My friends in Pune have all been great buddies. We enjoyed a lot. Partying and fooling around till the wee hours of the morning. Those were the days that I really enjoyed. If only I could get those days back.....

Coming to Hyderabad was what was destined to happen. Not having prepared for the entrance test, giving a casual interview and getting an admit to the so called Top 10 B-School of India. Everything fell into place as if it was part of a well planned strategy. I did not enjoy the city life in Hyderabad. It was apparent after experiencing the Pune life style. However, in company of some really good friends, this was just a shortlived nightmare. I've met people from various backgrounds and made friends with a few. In fact I've met some people here who will be a part of my life from now on. They are such wonderful beings that its hard to believe that such people actually exist in the world. You may feel I'm exaggerating however its a fact. Not many people would even understand the kind of bond we share. Our group ( which has 2 girls and 4 boys ) is a total maverick. We enjoy trying out new restaurants in the city, watching movies and doing just about anything that can make us feel good in a city where you cant really "HANG OUT" till late night. My friends group here in IBS is an inexhaustive list. There are so many batchmates that I still dont recollect faces in the campus. Call it population explosion or population exploitation. (LOL) Well to talk something about the city I have to admit that I don't hate the it but there is nothing to be loved about it either. If only I could explore the city more.....

As i've mentioned earlier, I've always been blessed with some of the most amazing people in life as my family, friends etc. My friends help me stay afloat away from home, my family really close to my heart, my better half is a true inspiration, my sisters the most beautiful gift and my parents make me forget my sorrows and my cousins very affectionate. I've even had some of the most loving and loyal pets for company since childhood. Growing with them has taught me a lot about them and they are an integral part of our life forever. What more could I've asked for? I've learnt a lot in their presence and have grown with them. They were my guiding angels at some or the point in life. I do not want to take names here but they will always remain close to my heart. These people are from my family, my relatives, friends and well wishers. I dont want to miss out a single name here because I'd feel very bad if that happens so writing this for you all. If only....Nah...This time I'd not want to ask for anything more than what I've got. Thank you everyone for being there for me. Love you all.
