The Unknown.......

Few months back I had read the blog of an ex-NDA personal (Rajat Mishra) who had cracked IIM A and ISB. One thing he kept repeating in his blog was that life is uncertain. Life is iffy - Rajat's life revolves around this sentence. Since I was going through a rough patch as well, these lines had a great impact on me too. I didn't find any solace in this line but accepted the truth that what we dream or think doesn't become a reality always. Things might go awry as it happened in my case.

I still don't have any clue where I will be 1 year from now. I didn't have any idea a year back what I would be doing around this time. Life would have been simpler had everything gone as per the plan and I would have joined Infosys. I would have had a nice work-experience in a good company, a great chance to convert any top 30 B school and a good bank balance to support my MBA education. Fortunately or unfortunately, the things didn't transpire in this way. The cloud of uncertainty has been hovering around my life for more than 2 years now and I have no idea when it would make way for a sunny morning. It would definitely come, but question is when and in which direction would my life take me then?

I am waiting..................... for the unknown.....

A Year Later....

Sometimes we want time to walk slowly... sometimes we wish that time run like an athlete in a 100 m race. Different situations, different wishes. I never wanted the happier moments I was spending those days to end ever. Alas! It was almost like asking for a 'Amrit' to become immortal. That time ended very quickly while the last two years were like a hell for me. Time was always moving with the same pace. The only difference was the way I was looking at it.

On August 31st, 2009, I had mailed her to let her know my feelings and get the answers to all those questions that had been puzzling my mind for long. Some of them were answered, many were left, though I could finally convey my feelings to her. I had hoped that my mind would finally be at peace, but I was wrong. You just can't let go so easily the memories of your first genuine crush. Things have changed a lot in last one year. I am not a UG anymore and have got a beginning as well. If I had thought that moment that slowly her memories would be erased out of my mind, then I was wrong.

She is still there in my heart and mind. I still think about her whenever I get little emotional. Perhaps this city won't let me forget her. She was never involved and so she must have forgot my mail within a couple of days only. But she remembered it very well that I should never feature anywhere in her social networking profile. A friend request on Facebook was rejected 3 months later and I could never muster up courage to send her a request ever again. She has put a stop from her side but I haven't been able to do so despite many efforts.

A year later things haven't changed much for me.
