Destiny and me

I was a blog virgin so long. The pangs of frustration, loneliness and partial joblessness drew me into the only savior – blogging. The contents of this blog are purely my thoughts and my own. Being my first post, I thought I should first give an introduction to me, as, after reading this, you can decide whether to read further posts or not.

Who am I?? I guess this page reflects enough about me. I am Hopie. I hope and hope and hope that things would always turn better – and when I’ve reached the corner, I begin to hope again. Not that I’m all that optimistic, but there’s no other way to get going, is there? I am old fashioned and like things neat – note NOT attractive but neat. I take care in choosing things. The third part of this page is the most crucial one – Making A Difference. I take pains to make an impact in the lives of everyone I come across. I make it a point to make them remember me for at least ONE thing. When people think of me as just “one among all” I take those extra efforts to move one step higher. I’m a perfect Gemini. I wonder which twin of mine is writing this. If ever you notice any inconsistency, perhaps, say hi to the other twin in me.

My “MAD” voyage began approximately 22 years ago when I came into this planet. God gave me many gifts on my zeroth birthday – people – caring parents, loving grandparents, a gorgeous sister (who came to visit me after her first day of school), a whole mob of aunts and uncles and cousins to come and with time to come – friends; time and happiness. I vaguely remember, I was put into this play school (well, if you could call it so) christened “Chandra Montessori” (pronounced Chandra Maandi Seri). I remember this teacher who would say “azhugaya niruthu” (Stop crying). That’s one lesson that I’ve never been able to learn till now. A seed of sensitiveness was planted in me and it’s still growing.

I went into the same school as my sis (thanks to appa for standing in queue at 3 am to buy the application form). Many people danced in and out of my life ever since – Friends. It was tough to move on – I still think of them and think if they’d ever think of me. The period I changed my school had a drastic impact on my life that was coming up. I was still an introvert and yet managed to make friends and move on. But the ‘people-leaving-my-life’ journey continued. For the marks that I had obtained, I decided my career would have to be civil engineering. But destiny had something else in store for me. I went to do my graduation in Production engineering at a local college and I’m doing my masters now.

This is my 22 years of life. Te one thing that I had to always face was people walking out of my life. Sometimes, time gives good answers and most of the times it doesn’t, and when it doesn’t?? We wait. I’m still waiting…

In the posts to come I’d be writing about those incidents, timeless moments rather, that really made an impact on my life. I’d be writing them from my perspective – cause its my blog after all. I choose not to pen some of them – trust me you’d be better off…

Aren’t articles supposed to have morals?? What happens in the end after all the reading and living?? Through the voyage of life, we learn and learn and in the end? We begin afresh.

Cheers,

Hopie.
