Event that has changed my life.

Having been biased to my personal Blog for quite some time, I now once again resume to writing..
But how did I come to think of writing on something as tacky as this post?….Well, da idea cropped up after I had this casual chat wid a friend, whoz been given an essay as assignment :”Event that changed my life”…I don’t think he was further specified …for good or bad!
However I discarded it as “one of those shitty assignments”…how can one event be strong enuf to change da entire outlook of your life, it still beats me. But putting myself in his position, I tried to figure out whether at all I wud be able to scribble something, given that da assignment is an obligation..?
One may ask why I bothered to put myself into this world of trouble, let me tell you that my exams starts in just 10 days.And by default anything but that is related to my studies, has to get my prior attention!

contd...
I was 12 then. We friends were playing ,I think it was a winter evening..…and at dat age it dint matter, vacation or no vacation, play was must! Those lively moments … dusky hours that went by like seconds while playing hide and seek,…best friends changed every other day….sight of chocolates ditched all mannerisms…frilled frocks….and this cud go forever. But unfortunately we all grow up…
and how fast!
I came back home and and for some reason wasn’t in a perfect mood that day.Looking at da dispassionate expression on my face,my father enquired casually, “dear, how was ur day? You had sports day naa today?What were da results?”…
Being reminded of the catastrophe I gave a sad sigh…dad we were pathetic! RUBY(that’s da house I belonged to ) lost it again!
Funny to note but yeah…this was da time of my school days when we were just being assigned colour-based houses!Though I myself dint participate in any sport event as such,I had far much conveniently taken da pride in being in a red house(just coz every 1 around seemed to do exactly da same.)
And here was this 12 year old girl….concerned abt da future of her team in a way that a farmer wud be for his coming monsoon yield!
“Dad I tell u I don’t feel like being in this house.” That year Ruby broke all records by not winning in a single thing! “That Shweta(name changed for unidentification) was teasing me so much today…just becoz she is in Sapphire(blue) which happnd to win da House award this year!”….and stupid it seems to me now…but imagine my agony over a defeat…took it so personally that I went to da extent of begging dad to put me in some other house!!
That’s when he sharply interrupted me,..then taking his own time started speaking again.He explained me how a thing…whether a person,team,business,or relationship goes thru two extreme stages…one is its upclimb…da other da downrace.It takes much lesser time for a team to fall than its way upward to glory.
”But that doesn’t mean that you quit your company!Now that you are a part of this team, u surely expect ur team to win everytime and be proud of ur victory..but you should also take as much responsibility in da mistakes that ur team makes…because unless u perform ur team wont win.and this is an important lesson of ur life my dear.NEVER FORGET IT!”he said.
At once i was embarassed and felt like taking back my words ..…”y was I so disrespectful to my house!” I regretted.
And from then onwards I tried to be more patient…even as da asst.House Prefect in std.10th…I hoped da best from my team….and it was something worth hoping! We won da house award that year wid a whooping majority of scores in our bag!
This was 1 event which surely had a gr8 impact on me…for good.J
….now I better go back to studies…no marks for guessing y I love blogging when exams are nearing…
and how fast!

God give me tolerance...
Talk of B.S, B.C, F.C.,.......study the day b4 exam subjects and you would find similar crap in all,which sends a strong feeling in you-a need for having one singlw subject replacing the 3.After all it wud save us 2 long days of studies!!(lolz...)
Ofcourse, am being able to speak my thought aloud only coz am sure of having a concensus of my colleague friends in the matter.
y do i bother so much ?!?!When u have a hectic life u tend to ignore such insignificant matters that come in ur way.But does that mean am in no rights to ponder over something which is a part of our system?
Or should i live wid a consolation that if none, atleast 1 female(to be read as Jaaju mam) who tries to see things from our point of view for once when she says,"In these 3 years(grad. time) da only thing u learn sitting in this class is TOLERANCE."
3 years is a long time,....and we aren't yet done wid our mid-terms.....huff...sigh!!
