2013 Panorama.

Without reflection, we stagnate. 

As the year draws to a close, I find myself reminiscing about the end of 2013 and the end of a year which brought with it lots of new experiences, full of thrill, punctuated with the much needed learning lessons

For me, the year feels like it has gone by quickly. I know that in reality one year is the same as the next in terms of the actual passage of time, but it is a truism that our perception of how much and how quickly time has passed, changes with our circumstances and with our sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

When I look back on the year that was, it gives me a sense of astounding belief. Every peak and valley witnessed together weaves a pattern which makes complete sense to me now, if not then. If anything would have turned out differently, I would’ve missed a point. Or rather, not learnt a lesson at the right time.

The one lesson from 2013 which I’m taking with me for life is, to be my own sunshine. People change. Hearts find alteration. Promises are broken. We go places. And in the midst of all this if there’s one thing that remains constant, it’s our soul. Through everything I witnessed, the sun lay like a friendly arm across my shoulder. I learned to depend on myself. I learned to be comfortable with myself and most of all I learned to like my own company.  I loved to be alone, enjoyed the smell of books, and it’s not the end. There is still a lot more to see and there’s way more scope for improvement.

I have learned that, books can be your best-friend. When everyone leaves you, they stay, looking at you. Giving you another chance to get everything.  Standing for you and bringing all the happiness I always wished for.

I loved going here and there, enjoying every British council classes. Meeting new people. Sharing experience. Teaching myself, that YOU are whet you believe and think.

END OF THE SCHOOL-LIFE.

With 2013, my school life comes to an end. 14 years of learning, struggling. Seeing my ups and downs. Failing and succeeding. Enjoying, getting to know people and their mentality, their thinking, their behavior, fighting, losing, and winning.14years of school education has taught so many things, so many memories. I know, this particular life will never come back, the only that will remain is the wane memories. I will miss this life, I will miss wearing school uniform, school shoes, putting up a school bag and go like a child. I miss each and every bit of it.

D.P.S Rourkela.

I will complete my two crucial and magnificent years in D.P.S Rourkela.  Class 11 and 12 in D.P.S changed me in the way; I had never imagined my life “THIS WAY”, What it is today. I had never thought of seeing myself in this way, which I see today.

Though I have spent just 2 mini years in this school (D.P.S Rourkela), I feel like I have been there for the last 14 years. I feel like, this was that place I needed to come.

I had spent 11 long years in Carmel school, Rourkela, from K.G-2 to class-10. But, I will miss D.P.S more than Carmel, I saw my life changing in a positive way after coming here, teachers loved me, they be lived in me, they saw the potential. They saw me as a good human being. They believed in my dreams. They scolded me, when I wrong. Taught me the difference between, right and wrong. Encouraged me.
Life long, I will miss these particular teachers; Sasmita ma’am, Soudamini ma’am, Mamta ma’am, Jitendra sir, Soumendra sir, and Rita ma’am. No matter, how many gurus I come across, these personas can never replace others in my life.
P.S- If you are reading this, than you Jitendra sir, for teaching me Maths. The subject which I hated the most,
Thank you D.k Balkrishnan, for making me understand that subject. You are really a nice person and a true friend.

Over all. On a short note, 2013 was a learning year and I will firmly and categorically take this particular year as a “developing one”, in the coming years.

2013; you were nice. A little harsh at times!
You gave me friends in place of person, I am not  going to  forget. You gave me “things” to hold on to! You gave me thoughts to pen down with permanent INK! You got me places I've never been to! You were awesome! You gave me a million reasons to look forward! You taught me to, "let it be". You taught me to be a listener! You taught me to be good to people, and to hit people with evil minds. You taught me to be there! You taught me realities! You taught me that people will break your trust and promises. You taught me EVERYTHING HAS A RIGHT TIME.

And yeah, do me a favor! Ask 2o'14 to take it easy on me.

Thank you E-Blogger, for giving me the platform, I had always intended for.
