2012 has been a momentous And Not-So Momentous year For ME. It has changed me in ways that I couldn't really think of a year ago. In the words of Apple, Also being The WORST Year Came Out to be the best Year Of my further life From Now on!!!
CONFUSED – Read It On . . . .
It only seems like yesterday when I remember talking to a friend of mine about
my resolutions for the New Year (That only Last for A Few Days ;-P) However, on
further inquisition, it doesn’t seem as though it has flown by like a
super-sonic jet. It has paced itself pretty well.
2012 was a year of experiencing and learning new lessons. When I look back at
the person I was on 1st January,
2011 and the person I’m on 28th December,
2011. I see a lot of difference. (All being a positive change In Me)
Finally back on the right track . . . !!!
If there’s one thing that I’m glad happened is that I’m finally starting to
realize the importance of Real *Studying*. (It’s Not that I Dint do it earlier.
. . . But This time it was Quite New
and a Massive Change for me! ) I mean, 10th grade
didn’t really go well for me. I lost my some ways in studies. Sure, I did do
better than the average kids in the exams but nowhere near what I was capable
of. My marks in the prep-school that I attend deteriorated. When I got my
results for the Final term (MOCK) of my 10th grade, all my teachers were like “What happened to you Priyanka?”
They obviously didn’t expect those marks from me. Then, I swore that I was going
to a lot-lot better in my I.C.SE examinations. I even created a note on My
Diary out of pure annoyance and determination to ‘shut their mouths’ (those are
the actual words I used).Anyways. . . . It Really Dint go well!!! The Later
story should not be repeated . . . !! J
It took me a lot of time but, today when I think of myself that I’m finally on
the right track. After 4 full months, I can say that I’m back on the Positive right
track again. On comparing my grades and
other stuffs from class 10 to class 11 ( First term ) you might just see Huge increase Only In
marks. . .But only I know that what has happened is a gazillion times more than
that. I can’t really explain it. Somewhere along the way, I just realized how
fun learning can actually be.
“The marks you get do not determine your life but it’s your
attitude to learning that does.”
My attitude towards learning has undergone a paradigm shift.
(Yes. . . I Can Proudly Say That I LOVE LEARNING!! J J )

Who am I behind the iron curtains?
2012. . . . Was also a
year where I learnt more about myself? Who I really was under the iron curtains. I
stopped being pretentious and started acting more like the *TRUE* Priyanka !! However,
you can’t change a lifetime of acts in a short period of time. I’m trying my
best though. (Yes. . . I am doing it) J
The Real start of “The Journey of My Life” (My Blogging Site)
Also, 2012 marks my *SECOND* year of BLOGGING. It was fun putting all my
thoughts into words. I preserved a slice of my life in these blogs and I love
it And I Also Love people commenting over my blogs and liking it to a deep
extent. (Thanks To My Happy readers). I
still smile when I go through the entries that I wrote while my exams were
going on and how I was battling in them. There’s a lot more to come in the
following years though! Writing encourages me and Gives me Happiness. I Always
Had dreamt of becoming a Writer. . . .From The Time I Was A Little Kid of 4 to
5 Years. . !! J
Other Stuffs That Happened During The Year!!
The vacations To Several places also opened my eyes and gave me a much needed
break. Made me truly appreciate nature’s beauty and the joys of travelling.
- I
graduated From Fairy Tales to mystery and thriller novels. It all started with
a Prisoner of Birth by Jeffrey Archer and around 10-15 novels later, I’m loving
it!
How Can I Forget Chetan Bhagat?? Yes. . . . I Still Love and Read His Books!
The Man Who Gave a New- Born in My Life and a passion to Write More And publish It.

- Got hooked to the serials on Star World. It all started with
Dexter. I just finished watching the finale of India’s Got Talent. I’m currently
hooked to the Nach Baliye (Season-5) And Master chef!!
- I had
a hard time fighting over my addiction Of READING NOVELS 24*7!! :-P I managed
to prevail in the end though. (Thank God . . . I Won’t get any scolding’s From
Mom) And, this blog going popular on
E-blogger was kind of born out of that addiction so, I don’t mind it one bit: D
- I got my Second portable gizmo this year. An iPhone after an iPod
touch. Never mind the fact that it’s the first generation, it still works like
a charm. (Yes. . . A Gadget Who’s More Smart then me): P: P
- I also attended this one summer camp by the British Council
Library. It was a fun-filled 3 weeks and I pretty much loved it. Met a lot of
interesting people there!

The Best Thing To Have Happened This Year . . . !!!
However, the best thing that happened to me was –
LET IT BE A SECRET!!!
And I M ONLY WRTING THE
JIST Here . . . !! J
On September 1st of this
year, I stumbled upon something that changed my life. Literally. . . .
For reasons that are still unclear, I typed “Admissions in Abroad after
Class-12 into the YouTube search bar and the results caused an irreversible
chemical change. The first result read something along the lines of (8.01
Economics and Political Science in Harvard and Colleges after That and Goes SO
-ON.). I was like WOW!!The name sounds familiar. Let me go check” and then, I
pressed the link. (Read the Reason behind It)
#-I Want to Do My Honours in Economics or in Political Science from DU (Delhi University) or from Abroad and both are like. . . Climbing the Mountain Ranges in chilly Cold Winter!!!
To be more precise . . . . Have to work hard and Score High-And Only High!!

As For The Cut-Offs Going More Then 90 % Out There!!!
#-Challenge Accepted!! J
For the next 15 minutes, I was hooked. I probably didn’t even blink. Walter
Lewin amazed me. After 15 minutes, I found myself dazed. Part of my brain was
awed that I could watch lectures from Several DU Colleges on YouTube and the other part that lecturers
could be so awesome as Walter Lewin.!!!:-)
I clicked on their channel and it read “1727 uploads”. I almost fell down from
my chair. After a bit of more search, I was led to their admissions website.
After spending an hour or two on it, I realized something.
·
* I Have To Do something great In My Life -Yes. . . I Will Do it
*
Seriously, from then, life hasn’t really been the same. Reading through the
admission blogs took me into some kind of fairy-tale trip. Each and every
minute on the website just strengthened my conviction that I was made to do
SOMETHING GREAT!
My Tweet over Twitter after One month of getting vast knowledge on October 2011
. . .
Priyanka.Riya12 Tweets-“Feels Like I've
finally found a purpose . . .Emm..Eye..Tee...Here I come!:-P
It felt surreal to be honest. For the first time in my life, I
had a purpose. I’m not kidding.
Life was never the same. I realized a lot of stuff while reading through those
blogs. My view of the world was shaken, never to be the same again. For the
first time, I’d come across people of my kind! I began taking pride in being a
‘nerd’. Also, I Believed That that life
is not all about studying. Find what you love and do it.
3 months into that search, I haven’t really found much but, I’ve
learnt a lot about myself in the process.
Also, learning took a whole new meaning. Learning wasn’t ‘boring’ or stuff that
I just did anymore. I actually began liking studying. My attitude towards it
has changed.
3 months later, I’m still determined to make it there. I frequent their
admissions face book page at least once a day for any new updates. Though
there’s a ~0.25% chance of me getting in, I’m not ready to lose hope
because I know I was meant to be there.
A Sudden sad demise suddenly occurred in my family when
everything was going so smooth and normally.
My Chachu Expired On December 11th 2012! I don’t get
words to describe this sudden incident. All I Can say Is R.I.P ‘Chanu Kaka’ And
Always Bless me and love me the way you used to do!
You were one of my favorite person!! People love you and Miss
you so much here on this Earth.
Final Thoughts. . . . About 2012!! J
In all, 2012 was a pretty wonderful And not-so Happy year. On a scale of 1-10
on how satisfied I was with the way I spent the year, I’d give myself an 8.
I’ll be welcoming *2013* with a grin on my face and hope that it is my best
year yet.
Until next time,
Stay Tuned For my Blogs . . . !! J
Good-Bye 2012 !
Welcome 2013 J
J
And Please Be VERY Good and Honest to ME unlike the Last year!
-Priyanka Dash
So here's wishing all a Very HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013 ! Have a great year ahead :-) :-)
