I never knew if I could ever write or was the whole idea of blogging ever going to work. Though my first post never talked about these inhibitions but it talked about something that was and still is very close to my heart. A story every girl from every strata of society can relate to :- &lt;a href="http://thehope-life.blogspot.com/2009/01/once-upon-time-there-was-queen.html"&gt;Once Upon a Time There was a Queen.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;A post you&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="line-height: 12.35pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;enjoyed writin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="line-height: 12.35pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;g&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;the most: That definitely goes to the one I wrote on my parents 25&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; wedding anniversary. It was the same post that was written on their card and they were overwhelmed on reading it. I can still remember the expression on their face, it was with so much love and affection for us :- &lt;a href="http://thehope-life.blogspot.com/2009/05/day-for-my-angels.html"&gt;A day for my Angels&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;A post which had a great&amp;nbsp;&lt;b style="line-height: 12.35pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;discussion:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;This was surprising one. I never thought I would get such comments on this write up. I wouldn’t really call it a casual one because it was ones that meant too deeply to me. It was an unusual topic and very different from what I normally write on:- &lt;a href="http://thehope-life.blogspot.com/2010/10/conversations.html"&gt;Conversation with Death&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;A post&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="line-height: 12.35pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;on someone else’s blog that you wish you’d written:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="line-height: 12.35pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://artofleo.wordpress.com/"&gt;Leo&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://ladynimue.wordpress.com/"&gt;Lady Nimue&lt;/a&gt; shall always be my inspiration for poetry. So both of them shall come into this category.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Your most&amp;nbsp;&lt;b style="line-height: 12.35pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;helpful&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;post: I can’t really say this post helped someone or not, but it was the post that brought a smile on the face of my most beautiful friend, :-&lt;a href="http://thehope-life.blogspot.com/2011/04/best-wishes.html"&gt;Best Wishes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

What better way of celebrating it than going down the memory lane. Thanks a lot every one for being here for me and my little words.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;I have never given away awards at my blog, but this is the first time I want to give it away to those three people who have inspired, helped me in every way to keep this place blessed as ever.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The first award is for Leo for being my teacher. I have come a long way in poetry writing thanks to Leo. He has taught me the various forms and forced me to write in all those days of writers block. If not for him, I would have given up blogging each time I felt I couldn't write. Thanks a lot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.35pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her words reflect every emotion of mine. And she claims mine do the same to her. She is the one who relates best to what I have written and can very conveniently know my state of mind while writing anything. Blogging gave me a wonderful friend in her. A friend I can always turn to in case of my troubles and I am sure in spite of the distance between us she will understand it all. This one is for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xXjA5xiVy9I/TwdUKDbaCuI/AAAAAAAACNQ/oYRBbeTyLws/s1600/palm-trees-we-heart-it1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xXjA5xiVy9I/TwdUKDbaCuI/AAAAAAAACNQ/oYRBbeTyLws/s400/palm-trees-we-heart-it1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Red is slowly setting and twilight is near. I see the long green leaves drooping towards me as if inching to touch but afraid to do so. I reach out for them but all I touch is the cold black glass. The air conditioner in the car is on and radio seems to be playing my favorite song. All seems well yet a hollowness disturbs the serenity of nature around me. I think that is what my green palms were most afraid of. They could feel the hollowness around me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I shun the thoughts away, letting the nature play it magic on me. The cacophony of thoughts in my grey matter slows down as if the setting sun hypnotized them too. The sun has lost its heat and I can proudly stare at it without blurring my sight. Yes, it reminds me that everything comes to end. Even the best days have their sunsets. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I am far away from home. The thought is disturbing as my entire being craves for the protection that comes with those four walls of love. Yet there is something today in the sky. I can’t really pin-point at what is it that I find fascinating. I unscramble the pattern of nature around me, with a hope of putting the pieces of the puzzle back together. But I still don’t know which part of the jig-saw puzzle am I missing. The Nature is keen on playing hide and seek with me. Teasing my senses, tickling my thoughts and awakening my soul, nature must definitely have something in mind. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The orange has painted the entire sky as if creating a masterpiece and paving the way for the black and the moon. The love of sun and moon, I could never really understand. Why could they never meet? Why does one have t set to give life to another? Some eternal questions that only nature could answer. But she has always been mime in the name of the holy balance she keeps. Must really be a tough job. Thoughts like the setting sun scatter into different realm of my subconscious minds. Some make sense, some don’t. Some I try to read, some I leave alone. Some just bring peace, some leave utter chaos. Some have joy and some have pain. They are I and I am they. We both are incomplete without each other. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As the day sets in and the night follows, I make my way to home with a hope that one day just like today and every other day, my share of pain and fear and agony will set with the red. That would be the day when I will finally touch the green leaves drooping towards me. They won’t be afraid of me and I won’t be afraid of them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I try to reason with all the grey&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;That its not the battle of wrong and right&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the winner and loser, are both her knight&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;She reminds me of who she was&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A glorious past, the love of ocean deep and vast&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;And I remind, that none of them did ever last&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;To this her words lose to a mute silence&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;And I realize, half battle I have won&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;But the pain of her loss lingers with me&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Though not long enough to fall weak&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;From her pain, my pillar strengthens&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Her numbness has now reached its peak&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Her slow and steady death, lies on my hands&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Deep blood red is all I see from where I stand&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yet no guilt sweeps me into its realms&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I am the winner, I am the loser&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;In this battle I rage against time&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;In those words of ink, she once wrote&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I search again for the lost rhymes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hoping to retain a piece of her&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;In the change, that has made her mime&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;With a part of her still locked in those secrets&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I turn to a new era, I turn a new leaf&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;With a hope to shun away all grief&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A little hope has laid down its seed&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now blessing of the almighty is all I plead. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hp0g7MB2odw/TvyzNc-xzjI/AAAAAAAACMc/uGTZVlTcobM/s1600/happy+new+yr.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="340" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hp0g7MB2odw/TvyzNc-xzjI/AAAAAAAACMc/uGTZVlTcobM/s400/happy+new+yr.gif" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Another year has come and gone. It is actually in this part of the year when I realize how time flies. 2011 is bidding goodbye. Last time when I bade farewell to 2010, I was cynical about it. The year had taken a very important person in my life. I had wished for a better 2011. Were my prayers answered? I don’t know.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But over the time I realized no year is good or bad. Its just some incidents happen with each month passing that leave a heavy imprint on our minds. These imprints may change you for good or bad, but that completely depends on the kind of a personality you have. So am I transformed person by the end of 2011? No, I am not even close. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2011 was a very neutral year. It just went on. In a way it was just a manifestation of 2010. Or maybe it was just me, a grown up me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I have changed a lot in this one year. Some don’t like the change and some maybe don’t care. And some, just a handful of some who have accepted the changes in me with open arms. In this stage of my life, a very good friend of mine advised me, that its not wrong to change as long as you give a positive direction to each and every change in you. I have tried my very best to achieve that positive outlook. And funnily I have failed miserably at it. but very honestly I do not dislike the changes in&amp;nbsp; me. Maybe this outlook is short lived, but as long as its there I might as well live it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Overall 2011 was a very uneventful year except of course of the fact that I got a job in one of the leading firms around the globe. Other than that, it was just I me and myself. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But I have learnt to enjoy the company of myself. The numbness in me has brought about a kind of healing on the scars that 2010 left. The banner of avoidance is still flying high. I am not proud of it, but I don’t want to fight it eider as long as it gives me peace. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Death and I have learnt to accept each other in our life. I lost a lot many relations this year to him, also not to forget my favorite ghazal singer, Jagjit Singh. I hope his soul in a better world than this. But it didn’t hurt that much. Maybe I am too immune to it by now. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2011 has made me learn my lessons, lessons I shall carry with me for the rest of my life. I have demolished my weaknesses in a way that they haunt me only when there is no shadow to be seen. My pain has strengthened me, not into a rock but into a pillar. A pillar that will help me to support myself and not depend on others. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;My parents have become my top most priority. Their happiness and joy comes above all for me. This is the thought that makes me get up each day from my bed and walk the day through its ice and fire. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As I bid goodbye to 2011, this changed new me welcomes 2012 with a hope that it would bring more peace for me. Only resolution for 2012 as of now is to lose weight. Rest will be added as each month passes and till this most talked year 2012 leaves us too. Happy New Year all. Keep blogging. Blessed be……..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Birthdays have always been my favorite time of the year. The wishes, the gifts, the love, the happiness and everything the birthday represents, I have loved it since forever. So I had hoped this birthday wouldn’t be any different yet it was. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Well its not like you turn 21 every year. Oh I still can’t come over the fact that I am 21 and next year I will be a graduate. And believe me, everyone around me shares the same feeling. Meaning if I hadn’t reminded my neighbor million of number of times that I am about to finish college, she would still think I am in school. Yes, I would take that as a compliment when I enter my 30s or when I have a teenage daughter, but till then remember people I have GROWN UP. Period.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Coming back to my birthday, my birthday was sad on the family front. Some terrible developments had taken place and everyone was so occupied with it that I almost felt no one even remembered I had my birthday. Not that I can blame anyone for it, yet it kind of feels creepy when your family isn’t really into a celebrating mood.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;But then that is where comes the role of my extended family, my friends. I have never been the outdoor girl. I still am not. Yet each and every of that enthusiastic wish since the clock struck 12 left me smiling. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Some called twice to wish me, some made it a point to wish me first, some surprised me by even remembering my birthday, some tried their best to make me smile, some called up after waking up from a hang-over(well that’s a call I won’t forget), some almost made me feel like a princess and some calls made up for the gloom at home. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Such little precious moments made up my day. And like I said before, each call would leave a huge smile on my face. Heartiest thanks to all of you who wished me and filled my day with joy. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;But then the best part remains my outing with my bro and his wife. I love you both to core.&amp;nbsp; Thanks for staying with me because in spite of all the calls I was having a lonely birthday till you guys turned up. Lots of junk and yummy food followed by Lots of laughter and many jokes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;A quite dinner at home ended the day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;As the day came to an end, I thought about everything that had happened and realized this was the second birthday you didn’t wish me on. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Well next year I know the count would be three, but somehow my heart never stops hoping. Missing you has become the part of my life yet one of these days I might just stop counting. One of these days I would stop wishing for you as I blow away the last candle. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;So good news and a bad news for all. I had my campus placement this Monday, 12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; September for Infosys. I cleared the aptitude test and the interview round. In short, I am selected for INFOSYS. It’s a great company as far as I have heard. The training is very difficult but worth the name. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;  &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And I am very happy for myself. My future is secure after college. I don’t have much to worry about like many of my friends. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tracing back to this one month, its been hectic with so much to prepare and I only know how much pressure I had to clear this one paper. Because most of my seniors had said this is my best chance especially as rumors are there that recession is seeping in again. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sumit sir&lt;/i&gt;, thank you so much for all the guidance you gave me. Had it not been for you I would be lost from where to begin and how. You made me at ease with my preparations. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for all the support you gave me. Believe me I wouldn’t have made it without you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Aakrit sir&lt;/i&gt;, I copied all your lines in my interview. : ) : D Thank you for encouraging me so much one day before. As much as I was scared, you made me believe in myself even it was only till the time I was talking to you. Your words were a good antidote to my nervousness. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;My darling sweetheart, &lt;i&gt;Sheetal&lt;/i&gt;, thank you for scaring me and making me as nervous as you were. Thank you for holding my hand while our names were called out. And above thank you for being the first one to hug me after the result was announced. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Richa&lt;/i&gt; for telling me I wasn’t alone when I was scared and worried. Thank you for getting selected and giving me the solace that you will not leave me alone even there. : ) : )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mayi&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Parul &lt;/i&gt;for believing that we will make it. For all those wonderful messages that made me smile when I was on the verge of tears with so much tension.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So that was the good and the happy part. I wish I could omit the sad part. Nevertheless, like I believe there is always a price to be paid for being happy. God must be a good tax collector. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If I put the sad part in one word it would be “Dad” or in all "Parents". As much as he was happy on my success, I could still feel the sadness in his eyes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The next thing he said after congratulating me was, “You will also leave” and I was in such a euphoria that his words didn’t register that time. It was the next day when he said that “empty nest syndrome is about to strike” that I realized the reason behind his sadness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yes in these 21 years of my life I have never left home and my mom teases me all the time that after marriage you take your dad along with you. When I stayed in hostel during Zest, he messaged me in the dead of the night that he missed me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What happens when I leave for 9 months? When he is unable to stand 24hours, how will he cope in those 9 months?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mom is working on her International Paper and as usual she needs my help with the graphs and the editing part. I told her today to do it on her own as next year I wont be there to do it for her. And she burst into tears saying they will get alone after I leave.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And that is what makes me sad, and guilty for being so happy for my placement. I know they will never stop me and from what I have heard my training will be so hectic and will take away most of my time. So mostly I won’t have time to miss home. But they will.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Each day when they will come back to office, I won’t be shouting at dad for not picking me up from the stop. I won’t be fighting with mom that she doesn’t cook any more. Dad wont be able to call me for the evening tea. He wouldn’t be able to force me to come to walk with him. Mom will have no one to download songs for her and transfer it onto her cell. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yes, little things that make my life today. And suddenly this time next year it would all change. Change is the ultimate truth of life. True. But when the change hits the people we love, it hurts. So leaving my parents alone in this home of ours is a price of my happiness. A huge price but may be that is where my destiny will take me….After all this is the time when I can make my career.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
