Nostalgia- My Memories of 2019

Last year was a year of...

It is a general notion that as the years' pass, we become wiser. We learn new things; experience certain incidents and these incidents shape our very existence. A period of one year can bring in a lot of changes in one person. So was my year, rocky and turbulent. It didn’t have a great start, also the way it ended was terrible. Despite the start and the endpoints, the journey is important as it’s said. Similarly, I’ve had excellent experiences and made memories during the course which were really life-changing.

The year began with intensive study and revision as I had my 12th standard boards in February. My first turbulence was the prelims, and exhausting study and strict routine followed. It was all the more stressful for me due to my nature of procrastination and waiting till the last moment. The exams went well, and I got my results in June. I was excited, but I felt I didn’t score up to the mark. However, I had already made up my mind to continue in the same college, so the marks technically didn’t matter much.

Academically, this year has been stressful. Ushering into the new phase of life, that is, college life, there was anxiety and nervousness. My college experience became more diverse and I got a chance to interact with different kind of people, unlike it was in Junior College. The restrictions reduced, and we were subjected to more freedom. It was all exciting, and I am totally loving this college experience, despite the extra amounts of stress and tension.

On a personal level, this year had been a year of learning, unlearning and relearning. This year, fundamentally changed me as a person. It made me a better person; I would say. This new college experience made me less prejudiced and taught me to be more accepting of people. Prior to this, I was judgemental and thought too highly of myself. Deconstruction of these very basic things has made me a better person and taught me to be more empathetic and kinder.

All in all, the year had been a rocky ride. There was a lot of trial and error. New things were experienced and bad habits were got rid of. I am happy with the progress and I hope for the best.

Pagal Yeh Pagal Woh Pagal Kar de Jahan Bhi Ye Jaye Dekho karta Hai Kaisa Deewana Sabko (oh shin chan) Just like mentioned in the theme song shinchan made me his DEEWANA. As a kid, I was not much of a cartoon fan but shinchan was the only cartoon I used to love a lot and watch fondly. I still remember, the broadcasting time of shinchan was 5 in the evening me and my brother used to stop playing and go sit in front of the tv just to watch shinchan. Shinchan was this naughty kid who used to trouble his parents, teachers but loved them a lot and stood by them. He was this careless kid in the school who didn't care what was going around him , but his friends always had his back. Shimla mirch(capsicum) his least favourite food and choco chips his the most favourite, whatever he did the way he danced, sung dressed up in some weird costume always made me laugh.  I learned few things from him was it's okay to speak out your heart, it's okay to act a little crazy, its okay to not car...

THE NANO TALES

  WINNERS Payoja Mohanty She wiped her tears, put on a smile and ringed the doorbell, 3 rings and her dad opened and as soon as she came in he asked "what happened?". She moved around, kept her bag, and asked " dad have u had dinner or shall I warm it up and we will eat together?" he asked her again " what happened?" She gave a bigger smile and said " the mice in my tummy are rioting" he interrupted her, and said, " you must have wiped the tears but the redness of your nose tells dad everything, now common tell me". She stood still looked at him with a puppy face, he hugged her and the 28-year-old little daughter was caressed and pampered out of a bad day with papa's love. With age, we learn to hide emotions and show maturity, but mom and dad will always treat you with the same love as ever.     Priyanka Rathaur (RCSIESN) The moment I look at you, My heart just melts away. You are my everything and without You, I don't know how ...
