Everything Everywhere All At Once

Hello again, Sam here!

Everything I could ever experience highs or even lows, this month had it all.

The month had unexpected experiences & expectations to the core, you will know about it in the further blog. Moving on with the blog.

The month of April started on a higher note which was my sister becoming a doctor, everybody around were jovial, in-fact my family was more happy then her. I personally have seen the amount of hard work she had went thru right from her NEET preparation till her last year, including my parents struggle.(There's always gone be your parents behind your back the amount of time and effort ,a parent puts on their child to be successful no matter what they have to sacrifice, often it goes un-noticed so make sure you value that and respect them)

I gifted her a doctor caricature which arrived the next day after result and she liked it very much and I'm glad she did. A week later she went to her hostel for the internships and I insisted her to take that caricature (gift) with her but she didn't as dad told her to keep that at home at-least her caricature would be there at home always :)

The mid of April was exciting as IPL had started and there was some local league tournament in the society named as SPL. It was a great event, unfortunately our team got eliminated in league stages. It was a two day event (sat & sun) which was indeed very exciting as some sort of such tournament was happening for first time. The next day i.e. the morning were the results of exam (ACCA) which I had given in March. I had given 2 subjects but cleared only one. Guess what! I failed to clear the other paper (FM) by just one mark. Honestly, I was shocked after I had seen my result, I had failed in exams but was never this close. I broke out, yeah this failure just broke me from inside, cause the amount of effort I gave but still couldn't clear -the fact wasn't digesting for me. (But that's life it ain't stopping so you got accept and learn the ART OF LIVING) I talked to everybody -each close friend, colleague, mentor, teachers it helped to cope to some extent. There was a revaluation option which I opted for which meant if there was any error in valuing I might get that 1 mark, everyone suggested if you are confident go for it, there was 1% chance of error by Education Institute (ACCA). The second day after my result was my birthday, so I just thought of not celebrating even thought of not going to office but some of my friends in the office insisted to come, so I did went and they bought cake and gave me gift was overwhelmed after seeing that.( I feel that the real earnings are the people who you earn gradually in your life and they literally make you feel secured after every break-down or rise ,grateful that I have such people)

Days were passing quick and with time everything was coming to normal but life ain't that easy, the same weekend I was talking to one of my close colleague in office (Yeah, It's the same colleague I had mentioned in my previous blogs) and she said "I am on notice period and just a week is remaining". I was astonished after hearing that but she said it was confidential so couldn't disclose. I planned a surprise for her "gifting a CA caricature" so ordered that and the delivery came right on the day of her farewell, her last day in office ;)

Went to the farewell party which was in the canteen of her client place (Birla Office). It was a great one - she ordered food for us and while having food she shared her memories with each colleagues and even we did, quite nostalgic we felt & some colleagues even cried. Then comes the gift part, other colleagues gave her a Laptop bag and then in last I gave her my gift she was happy to see and she liked it very much and then gave her a final good-bye.(Everybody you meet in life keeps a part of you with them, even when they leave you the part of you as a memory would still be there forever make sure its worth remembering).

The starting of next week- Monday one of my other close friend from office had her birthday and she was very much excited. The Monday came, after the lunch time we bought a cake and she treated us with Pizza and we gave her a gift which were Noise mini air buds from . After receiving the gift she literally cried. ( Sometimes its just the little thing which truly matter, so much to learn from joy of simplicity and being kind which is literally free) .

The IPL season was on the verge of ending and for the first time I went to watch an IPL match that same week. My uncle got the tickets for us it were free as they were sponsored. It was for MI vs RCB and I supported RCB like every time ,that match as always ended up on RCB losing side but it was a great experience and felt surreal indeed watching Virat Kohli that close was a minuscule dream come true.

Life goes on as usual , I'm onto my next exam in June with a fresh mindset and this time with intense hard work and focusing on the process as MS Dhoni rightly points out every-time.

Lastly, The results of my evaluation came the next and it were negative which meant the money I had spent on revaluating (around 52 pounds ie.5200 in rupees) were gone and my result would be even unchanged, felt uncomfortable that week.

Now, The day I'm writing this blog it were the last league stage match of IPL- Virat Kohli scored a hundred and still ended up on the losing side and they didn't win the cup even this year.

I just feel that I connect with him on that aspect on a whole different level - giving your everything and still losing .but it happens that's Life ;) right ?

I'll leave you with that question and hope the person reading this never goes thru in life what I and Virat went through :)
