7 thngs Mr Life taught me this whole yr!

Ok..so here I m wid my nxt post..Y d delay??wel its silly..bt cudnt decide..wht 2 post nxt!!well i compltd my 1st yr in college n ths yr ws kinda my exposure 2 reality..my so calld journey in2 ths big bad wrld..i hv alwaz been a kind of persn enthusiastic enugh to learn thngs..n probably thts d reasn y MR Life chose 2 teach me a lot of things ths whole yr..so here goes d 7(out of many!)imp thngs Mr Life taught me(nt necessry in d corrct preferntial ordr!)--:

1. Aftr spendng 13 yrs in a co-ed school..whr life rockd..life in an all grls coll can be really tough specially if u r nt d kind who is in2 loads of rubbish talk, gossip,not a fashion freak,treat bth ur guy n grl frends as same..n ya u r nt made up 2 b a hypocrite!Belive me it cn gt extremely irritaitng at times to c d same species as urs anywhr n evrywhr u luk 24X 7..!!
2. I ws alwaz tld by my buddies tht i ws quite an altruist by nature..and sooner or latr it wud hurt me..and belive me it did..i ws kinda persn who wud confidently say" i dnt expect anythn in retrn of whtevr i do 4 othrs"..bt ths whole yr taught me tht FRENDSHP is jst nt a one sided process of selflessly helpng othrs evry possibl way in their time of need..widout expectng anythn!..Rathr there alwaz comes a time someday whn u expect thm 2 be by ur side..whn u need thm d mst..and whn they r nt..ya it does hurt..bt evn more importantly it removes 1 by 1 d bricks of d foundation of the relationship u built n nurturd all these yrs..n yah d feel gud factor vanishes..slowly..
3. D so calld status of being " comitted" is jst like the othr side of d river bank whc alwaz seems greener until u hv been thr..this whole yr witnessed most of my buddies findng there soul mates(atleast they wr in ths illusion!)followd by breakups..again followd by commitments n thn again heart breaks..seemd kinda viscious circle!!It taught me tht ppl call there mistakes wisdom n experience..so its b8r 2 learn 4m other's mistakes thn 2 repeat d same n call urslf experiencd!!n as they say its alwaz b8r 2 be single thn to be single again..;-)
4. It is an egregious mistake 2 lead a fool's army bcoz at d end of day ppl are nvr gonna appreciate ur efforts coz fools r by default made tht way..its best 2 act nescient thn 2 vouch 4 ur dexterity n thn say- i am struck up in a mess!
5. Nt 2 judge ppl by their 1st impression coz u r provd wrng all d time..as ths wrld is full of ppl who r undr d mask of pretention all d time..tryn to b somthng they r nt..n in today's time veritable ppl r as rare as d carribean monk seals..;-)!
6.It showd me my extreme levels of adjustment and tolerance..adjustment 2 coexist peacefully wid all sort of ppl who come 4m equally diverse backgrounds,beliefs n practice irritatng habits..i nvr knew until i lived in a hostel tht a persn like me who gets so easily buggd wid d noise of my bro's video game..cn easily tolerate my wingmate's "ohh!so-pathetic"choice of songs at full volume all nite..i discovrd tht hw mch i cud tolerate n stl smile whn thr is hardly anythng i likd abt a few of thm..it made me realise n appreciate d value n existence of my old frnds in my life..n ya it did teach me hw mch of an ambi-vert i am..!!
7. D wrld at d end of d day is full of gud thngs n gud ppl..its jst tht u need 2 fnd d rite place,rite chord,rite company,knw ur priorities n more so importantly fnd ppl whose existence does mk a diffrnc to u..n belive me wid thm around ths wrld is definitly a better place to live in..:-)
