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..:-)

difficult to comment on this because its your own feeling..
some points mentioned are very common to all students who lead a hostel life........
especially the point enlightning about the noisy atmosphere......

U r still a kid ! srry couldnt bear this one... after all it was what you came to learn which i learned a long while ago .. Thr would be many ups and downs but no matter what the days u have are supposed to be the best, coll life is called that .. sophomore year is better than first year at coll .. and so on and so forth. SO learn to live better and better with each stage associated with your life ! Will read the seven laws laid later someday when i have the patience, srry for not having read it completely.

we all learn these lessons , some or the other time ,in life. it's better to learn them before it's too late.
good work !!

Mansi said...

hey Shanti...oops Shayantanii...well i liked this one as it speaks ur heart and some situations which everyone of us has been thru...ppl who aren't from Mody can't actually get wat the topic is all about...but definitely this is a good effort by u to put it into words and present it this way...i liked it..in fact i loved it..but gal there are lot many speed breakers still left..lot many things still to learn....life teaches u a lesson everyday but Mody teaches you a lesson every second...Good luck :)
