Its just a season.

Today my result for final semester of M.A Economics was declared. Well I am very satisfied with my result and i cried tears of joy when i saw my result. I am overwhelmed with joy and that's not just because I passed my exam but because it reminds of me of so many incidents. 

I remember the days when i was looking for a college to enroll myself in after my graduation for my post graduation. I tried in few other colleges but couldn't get through and that did discourage me but I didn't give up. I kept trying and finally got a call from the college I did my MA from and this college was in a city I had never been to before. I knew no one in that city but I didn't want that to stop myself from joining the college so I decided to move to the unknown city. I traveled to this city for the first time on my own. All by myself I reached the city and contacted a friend and moved in to a paying guest house with her. I had no idea that I would be spending my two years in the city in the same paying guest house but well I did. My roommates changed each year because my first year's room mates passed out the year I reached my second year. I had to travel 15 minutes by auto to my college from my hostel. I have always stayed away from home and so being away from home was never an issue for me but being in city full of strangers was. There were times when I felt very lonely and cried few drops of tear but I kept encouraging myself to be strong. At times I survived with very minimum amount of cash and there were times when I had to control my hunger just to save my money for travel (especially by the end of the month) because I never wanted to miss my class by not being able to pay for my travel. I somehow completed my first year and by the time I reached my second year I had really good friends and then i didn't even realize how time started flying by. 

We were bunch of crazy people always making plans but not always fulfilling them, we had lots of fun together. We (around eleven or twelve of us) would suddenly enter one of our friends' house and would not come out without a proper meal. All of my friends' moms were very loving and hard working women who never for once failed to provide us with great meal. I really admire moms for that, I hope I will be such a mom someday.   I remember the exam times when we would gather in one of our friends house (because in our hostel boys were not allowed) and then sit for group study.

Our group study would be more of eating and chatting but of course we did study too. There were times when we would plan mass bunk from class and if someone would attend class that day we would keep nagging on them till they feel really guilty (really childish I know but that's how we were). 

Well I must say that I found awesome friends in this city that was stranger to me once. Of course we argued and misunderstood each other at times but that did not rule out the fact that we were friends. If I have to go into detail it would to be way too long but my motive here is to keep it short and to bring out the fact that life comes alive when we go ahead and start living irrespective of the situation and circumstances. This is just a part of my life, I am sure each one has their own story of how things fell into place as they moved along the way. 

Life will not always come in a complete package with everything prefixed, we have to take every bit, fix it and make it the way we want it to be. Life will never be perfect but its up to us to make it beautiful or ugly. Don't give any one or any situation the right to rule over your life, its your life and only you know how you want it so make the best of it. If you feel like all the odds are against you and life is not fair just remember that its just a season that will pass by and a new season will be here soon. Till then just make the best out of today and live the best life possible today. When the new season arrives you definitely want something good to look back to. You are making memories each day so why make bad memories when you have equal option to make the good ones. Its just a matter of perception, choice and time. 

Keep the right perception, make the right choices and be patient when the new season is on its way. Live this moment you have because whether you realize it or not, this is best gift you have been given, how you handle your present will to large extend determine your future. 

Whatever difficulties you are going through today just remember that its not here to stay, its just a season that will pass by so keep up a good attitude, put on your beautiful smile and don't stop living. Life is too short to waste on any matter that is keeping you from living the best life. You deserve to be happy and live to the fullest so don't compromise for anything less. Be more grateful and less critical, then see your life  being transformed. 

All the best for the best life you will be living.  Your Best Days are not far off, prepare yourself well. God bless you.

Loads of love,
