13th November 2010...Nothing special about this day for any normal person, except the 18 million who have their birthday today and me, as today is the day that I start my own blog. Well most people find blogs outdated, a thing of they past they say, but for me it is the only way I can connect with a hobby that is truly dear to me, writing English a habit that was lost as my school life ended. The only English I write these days is for answers in math and science, quite sad I guess......
Oops overexcited about the blog I forgot to introduce myself. Well my name is Nishit and I'm a 16 year old college going student. I guess this should have been a time when I concentrate on studies and help in building up my career rather than "wasting" my time writing a blog , but a guy should maintain a healthy hobby so here I start my first blog.
I'll start with my tenth standard life as it was quite important to me. It was only last year that I gave my first board exams. Tenth class was one of the greatest years of my life. It was in these ten years that I had made a few friends who were quite close and dear to me. Even though I had a whole year of fun and frolic the few months before the boards were some in which I had studied a whole lot. The exams were over in a pleasant month’s time and I was quite happy with how I had done.
It was at the end of this month that another confused mind was born in this world...me... I had to choose my career path and it was to be done now. This sudden change took me by surprise my lenient parents were now adamant for an answer and many of my friends had already made up their mind. I didn't know what to do. How is this happening so fast? Am I really this old now were some questions that roamed my mind. As confused as I was I chose to move with the crowd and took science. The decision was a tough one because I had no idea of any of the three streams. It’s strange how people expect a student to make such tough decisions of his life without giving him any knowledge of the path ahead. I believe our education system is built that way.
The coming month was filled with the hectic schedule of my classes... I now had to study in one day what I used to study in 2-3 weeks. It was a really harsh period of my life but I'm still trying to get over it. Some days are great others, not so much. It sometimes does make me think twice, but life still is fantastic
I do not know if my decision is right or wrong something only time will tell. But I surely know that no matter what may come I will always try my level best to keep up with what I want and try to achieve the goal I have set in mind. Well as they say all good things come to an end, I just found out that bad things come to an end as well as I end my blog on this note. I hope you had a good read...until next time if there is one I hope...
PS- Please do comment if u read my blog...I'm new and really want to learn what people liked and what I should improve on...Thanks and have a great time.....
Hey!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, congratulations on starting a blog! :)
Good to know that you’ve extended your writing skills to write a blog & maintain a ‘healthy hobby’ as you call it.
Now, comments on your post:
The Xth to XIth phase that you’ve described is like everybody’s story (mostly).
The studies before the exam, fun & frolic after the exam, the month long vacation everything is unforgettable. But then suddenly every other uncle-aunty starts asking ‘what have you planned for the future?’, ‘what’s your ambition?’ et al. And somewhere when you don’t have answers it gets to you. Like you described, even I was surprised with the change in my parents. Most of my evenings went discussing with my parents what I want to do, where I want to join etc. Every other weekend I would find myself sitting in some centre may be with a few schoolmates giving the entrance test for some coaching centre.
Agree to your thoughts on everything abruptly catching pace in life and compelling us to make decisions, the ones which could change our lives.
The class schedule still never ceases to scare me. Hehe…I know you’ll understand!
Liked these lines: “Some days are great others, not so much. It sometimes does make me think twice, but life still is fantastic”
The last Para reflects your determination to do your best. Good luck! To make a mark, you gotta stand by your decisions & give your best!
Well, I think this comment got a bit too long! Lekin picture abhi baki hai mere dost! (Too filmy, I know)
As for scope of improvement:
“Well as they say all good things come to an end, I just found out that bad things come do as well as I end my blog on this note.” – I think you’ve missed a few words or the meaning wasn’t clear.
Had a little bit of trouble in reading it due to the bg…but forget it… anyway I’m half-blind.
Count me in as one of your regular readers. Do send me a msg. when u update next.
I don’t know if it’s allowed or not but can I make a request? Can you write a travelogue on your Kashmir trip? Pretty please! You know why I am asking for this.
Eagerly waiting for the next update
Ciao
Thanks a lot for taking out the time to read my blog Sreejita.. I don't mind the long comment on the other hand I'm happy that you care and that I have my first follower.:P
ReplyDeleteYa I'm thinking about changing the background. It looked really cool but it really is a burden to the eyes. I read some of the mistakes myself but had no time to correct them that day..
The line actually was "Well as they say all good things come to an end, I just found out that bad things come to an end as well as I end my blog on this note"
Thanks again for reading and will surely message you when I update next..:)

And thanks a lot for reading.. :)
Dude, Great start first of all! Much better than me definitely :P My Start was not so good but I guess I turned out okay!
ReplyDeleteUnlike you, I knew I was going to do IIT. What I did not know was how damn tough it was going to be. I mean I knew it was tough, but I had no idea how much!
The part where you mention how the days are always topsy-turvy is quite true. It happens to me too. You doubt your decision sometimes. But I guess you gotta trust yourself, your judgment and just go for it!!
Thanks for reading Shaishav..
ReplyDeleteWhat you say is completely true and I guess these two years are gonna be a tough test on our ability and patience. Passing this test with flying colours is our main aim... I'll inform you about the next post. Will be writing it in the coming week perhaps!!!
