Coming together as one

Well, this was some 2 decades back. Doing my graduation in English from Rabindra Bharati University, I was skeptical about how I am going to adapt to a student life that was so different and diverse from my schooling and high-school background.
No moment passed, however, after completing my graduation when I have not said to myself in introspection or loudly, "those were the best days of my life. "
A few of us used to be backbenchers, at times even trying to avoid the eyes of seniors who used to visit our classes regularly to keep a watch on us. One fine day, out of nowhere, a senior announced my name and declared that I am the CR from that day. Gosh! Not again, I thought after heading houses and teams from school & high-school. 'What did I do now to get noticed? ' I wondered.
The decision taken by senior union members could not be undone and I continued to be selected as CR till my completion of graduation. Well, again, not a day in my life when I regretted that phase, or looked back at those days with bitterness.
Do you know why? Because of the way I evolved as a human. I grew with learning. I developed my skills. I participated in activities which I never dreamt of in my wildest dreams. We walked, talked and moved as a team. Nothing could come in the way. No fights could break us, no barriers could stop us from achieving our goals or aims and come together as one to ensure a fruitful result. The education that came outside the classroom instilled new learning and hope for the entire life.
Do you know why I am writing this today? Because I am working in a college /institute that enables me to learn everyday. There are good and bad moments. We all face some incidents in our student life which may not leave very good memories.
But I always made it a point to carry the good memories and learn from the bad ones. And I always share the fact with every student I befriend in college, 'make good moments, carry memories that will make you laugh out loud at some other stage of life, that will make you realize, "those were the best days of my life. "
Celebrate Your Worth everyone. Lets make moments that will last us a lifetime. Lets learn from the bitter memories and move ahead in life with the knowledge gained and positivity.
Lets all make Spardha2020 - Annual Fest of Praxis a grand success, to look back and be proud of what you did, how you did it. To be proud as a student of Praxis. Thank you all.
