TRAN$ITION

what is past is forgotten,what is present is achieved & what is future is still not conceived.i gave this particular article the title of transition coz it's about the many phases of my life that has transformed & evolved me as a n individual.in a nutshell it's about "my life","my struggle" & "my achievements".i roughly divide my life into 3 phases.

1)pre high school

2)senior secondary

3)college

my pre high school had an early start in a convent school.as expected out of a student of a convent i grew up with the morale & principlesof high virtues-honesty,sincerity,respect,adoration,calm mind & a sound disposition.what was missing was a fire.a desire to succeed.being an "average" i was always let to believe that i had scope of improvement yet i was not "perfect"!!this idea made me explore the unexplored talents in me.i grew up to be an orator & eventually a performer on stage for plays,dramatics & debates.with the continuous persistence of the world who believed that i could do better with a "SCIENCE",seeing myself struggle for good results in chemistry & physics(which i still dread) & the futility of holding on to science on the basis of "biology"....i went forwardto take "humanities" at senior secondary.convent helped in all but one thing---seeing a world outside the sphere of "science"(which again was more a compulsion than a choice)!highlighting circumstances propell your decisions.

who knows if provided with a mentor or a guardian i could have excelled in "science" stream.nevertheless my decision for "humanities" was more need-based & I DON'T REGRET IT NOW.

pre high school thus prepared me for future difficult tasks of decision-making & adhering.i realized the difference between "taking the path & actually walking it".the whole process of suppression & expulsion ,the feeling of futility at one instance & of extreme importance in the other helped me choose (at least what was expected of me)my potentials & "follow what my heart said" ( a popular phrase indeed)!

it's not a passage of extreme hatred for an institution that ignited the spark of my literary career but a mark of gratitude coz it enabled me to decipher "other" aspects of life.i had an all together different perspective of the world i was about to b a part of.i was calm & rigid yet engineered with ideologies that i will never surpass.

I know now how to control & command conflicting opinions to use it as a stepping stone to success....
