Excerpts from my diary……...........

Feb 15 7.15 pm ………..my first memory of my infant days is a very cute one. Trying to lick honey from my mother’s fingers. The taste must have been really sweet, the tang of honey flavored with my mother’s sweetness. ….. The very first memory of my school days….hmmm…without doubt a beautiful park (guess it was the real reason I agreed to go to school in the first place). A beautiful park, an enchanting play house, toys, board games, cycles, lots of grounds and very friendly teachers. That was at Vishwajanina. Then the sisters of Carmel, the park again, the grounds, the various activities. Moved on to Nirmala, to become a true nirmalite to the core. The beautiful grounds of nirmala Bhavan, all those lovely trees, and their shades were our favorite haunts. It was there I forged life long friendships. The teachers were more friends, second mothers to us and not simply knowledge imbibers…. It was at this place I spend 10 wonderful years of my life, where I learned to learn, behave, enjoy and above all to love with all my heart… Then moved on to Bhavans. A good school and good teachers. But somehow the atmosphere there was very different from what I was used to. The 2 years there sped fast. Now at NSS College. A very nice place. With good teachers and good friends. In 3 years time I would have left here and found a new place. I hope it will also be a good one. Then one day I want to try the mountains and after that bikes… one day I want to own my own business however small it may. One day I want to become a successful civil servant. Someday I want to marry and be the part of a very beautiful family. And some day I wish to travel the world with just a back pack. I hope all these days will come in my life. I fervently hope it so. I long to see the day when I will recognize that I have fulfilled all these wishes……….
