Well..just taking my memories back in the early years of my childhood..when i had just started feeling my lil presence in this world..i was blessed to be the first child of my parents..long-awaited too (born almost after more than 5 years).. so, now one can sense the amount of warmth, care and affection that GOD had written in my destiny since childhood..am grateful!! And top of that, I had the privilige to take birth in a joint family with all close relations under one roof..however, owing to the same reason, my mom used to remain very much busy in her daily chores and could not pay much attention upon me...but somehow I always used to manage this by catching her attention crying aloud now and then :) after all that's the privilege a lil child can only enjoy n i was simply giving doing justice to this fundamental right ;)
When i grew a lil big, i got a cute company to play with, to fight with..n that was my golu molu cute sis!! She was really very cute when she was born and unlike me, never used to cry also...but always remained cheerful..though i was quite young, but somehow i cud relate her to me as someone close..well, the time just passed by with its own speed and then i grew a bit more to be sent to school..
Being born in a traditional family, I was admitted in a hindi medium school with my other cousins.. We all used to go together..I remember how I really used to enjoy going school, studying, giving exams, participating in school activities..and that was the time when i first time realized that I simply love studying, learning and growing..as a result of which I used to flare better than my associates in every exam..
But the credit of having this first Self-realization goes entirely to my papa..who always had taken a deep interest in my studies since my nursery and had never seen me as a normal mediocre child but always as someone very bright!! He completely beieved in me..and may be that's one of the big reason that after my two years of school, I was admitted in a convent english school..the first girl in our family to be sent to english school..I still rem the time when my papa used to daily ask me about all what i studied in school that day and i, so enthusiastically, used to explain every little thing..Before my exams, he used to prepare practice exam papers for me..and then used to check them..i can't express how much he used to do everything for me..and i, in turn, used to enjoy learning, studying, growing, getting the best out of me..and making my parenst feel proud!!
That was the time..and till date..i am still in the process of learning..which i truly enjoy doing!! I have realized very well that I love learning..growing in life in every aspect whether it be intellectual, spiritual, personal or professional..I can never see myself ever stopping..and if I do so, i will be stealing some good things only from myself..I would never want to be that thief which steals one's own potential to come out!! I am sure if I ask you..even you would never want the same to happen with your life..so just go ahead..keep learning all that life has to offer and retain the lessons with bigger perspectives..u never know, when these perspectives become a daily part of ur life and u start growing each day with ur REAL GREAT SELF!!
I feel that every aspect of LIFE gives platform to learn, to grow..and this Learning & Growing gives meaning to my Life..the more i learn, the more i wish to learn..and i wish this unending quest never ends..till the time i unfold every hidden potential within me and learn to give and only give..by making a bit of difference from my side..
Amen!!
