Life,Just Started
I asked my parents how my life was when I was a toddler,the response: fun -oriented,inquisitive,vulnerable to diseases( Had even been admitted to a hospital for Pneumonia) & wanted to be in the company of my Dad.
I recall my first day in Pre-Primary school,it was war,I didn't want to be separated from the warmth of my parents.With time I got used,but I can't forget several incidences:
One is the porridge we used to take(hated it,but you had to take under supervision).
Second,the final exam used to be oral where you had to identify colour and alphabets.(Failed to talk, therefore it was decided I can't proceed, but my Dad insisted I had to re-take it in the presence of the head teacher and him too,it's then that I gathered courage and was allowed to proceed primary).
Third,the do's and don'ts and the final prayer of the day that used to go:"Thank you Lord for your care from morning till now Amen"And chuup! run out of class like we were from a jail.
Life too is so,has such experiences even as we get older and older:
#We tend to Love to the status quo.It will always drag us behind never to cherish the coming opportunities.
#Separation is part of our day to day lives,via circumstances,it will happen,we get separated from our old friends,acquaintances,colleagues,parents,fond times
#At times we will be forced to do things that are not pleasing or we even fear,but they are of great help to our endeavors.
#No Matter what we're going through it will soon pass,and chuup! we'll be free at last.
