5yrs…so what?

It was another day, a Saturday. My mom and dad bid farewell. With lots of thoughts and fuzzy ideas, I reached Srirangam station. A surprise in the form of pshyco and Yupiee awaited  me at the station. Typical to a political leader, they welcomed me and wrapped me in a fake silk shawl as everyone watched another mockery in the happening. After some joyful talks, I boarded the train at 645 in the morning, reached mambalam around 1230.

It was madhan, who received me at the station. Chennai, a place which I hated even before I did my college, a place with which I fell in love with over the last few years, a place which promised much of my earthly learning……..Two days later on 18th Jun 2007, a monday like today 5 years ago, I joined my place of work with 1000 other familiar and unfamiliar faces. Little did I know then, this journey will last for the lifetime.

As I browsed the calendar two days back, I realized the importance of 18th June, the day which marks the completion of 5long swift years. New acquaintance, new friends, new thoughts, new habits, new places, new agendas, new targets, new aspirations, new lifestyle, new dreams, new expectations…yet many disappointments, bunch of failures, life time lessons, few partings, little losses and tons of heart wrecking moments……

So much have I learned in the 5years…that I realized my leanings are nothing and the best is yet to come If I have to thank each and everyone who has helped me reach where I am, the list is indeed long…but I did take a moment to thank the god for letting me have them as part of my life……Do I miss anything now? Not of this world…..I just miss kalyan….I wish he was here, he was here to put his hand on my head, on my head when I bow down to touch his feat…I miss him dearly more than anything I have ever wanted to have…..

 

Let glory be with kalyan.
