TGIF! Friday evenings are true bliss. Nothing beats the excitement and contentment of a much deserved weekend. I decided to leaf through my journal which I had started 10 years back. There were poems, short articles and even few daily entries of usual chores. It was fun reminiscing my life! The memoirs are mere humorous anecdotes when we think of it now!
There was one such article which is worth sharing on a blog! It goes like this....with a bit of editing!
Stroll down the memory lane
Those lovely years have come to an end. Those years with bitter-sweet memories will be cherished forever. That carefree life as a teenager. And every word uttered by parents were termed conservative and orthodox! Long hours spent on phone calls and on internet were common complaints by all parents.
School has always been the platform for heated discussions and debates on latest trends, books, movies and gossips. As usual, there were group of girls literally engrossed in their textbooks who were branded nerds and bookworms. Another clutter of girls chitchatting happily who considered school as a mere playground. But at the end of the day, the dreaded and much hyped up board exams made us maniacs!
Entering the engineering college was a dream come true. I loved the fact that I was enrolled through the entrance exams. Life in India was more realistic and practical quite contrary to that in the Gulf. The silver spoon had been taken away and "survival of the fittest" best described our life. Nevertheless, it affected positively on our personal development.
We have now entered a world with new responsibilites to shoulder and experience the sweetness of the life yet to come.
Life is a series of experiences with a wide array of lessons learnt. As a wife and a working woman now, I live a new phase of life with yet another set of challenges. But I still face life with the same smile and the zest as I did a decade ago!
