Gratitude

Hello everyone, Sam here.

The month has been oddly satisfying and fulfilling with some moments to cherish forever.

Now, heading on to the blog.

The month of February had less days but more struggle. The first two weeks were quite a rush, one of ex-colleague had her engagement on 14th Feb, so attended that, had been so long for me to attend a function, it was great. I made some new friends in office and outside office too and it was great to vibe with them and bond. Sometimes when you meet new people, you don't realize how quickly your perspective towards accepting a change changes. I had my professional exams in second week of March, so had take leaves for it, they were starting from end of 2nd week of February. Also, My family had planned an outstation trip to Uttarakhand just after my exams, it had been 5 years we hadn't been to trip cause of Covid and everyone's schedule not being matched. Finally we managed for a trip. My sister had came the same week and as mentioned in my previous blogs whenever she comes its a houseful for us. My Mom is a working- women (super women) but the day my sister came it was a late evening but still Mom after coming from hectic office schedule had cooked meat that night and trust me it was delicious. I think its always in the little things, as in life's always meant to be enjoyed thru those minutest of things which we don't value while being in that moment but we realize that later when we look back. Now coming back to the last day before going for exam leave, a colleague with whom I share a great bond and who had became CA, helped me in study techniques and timetables, which eventually helped me later while studying. Its the same little thing which I had talked previously, as in waiting for someone when they are tying their shoes while rest of people move forward.

The last two weeks of February didn't had much but just I studying the whole day and revising with a new friend I had made in my classes. March started and boom we are already in the third month of 2023, time flies so fast. The first week was a tense week due to exam stress and some father side family property issues which are a quite common to most of us ig . It didn't bother me much but it does to some extent. Life sometimes puts in you a state of agony where there are two ways overlapping each other but you need to somehow have to learn to deal with it and let that breeze thru and it gets better just with time.

There comes second week of march - the exam week and guess what ,I hadn't been feeling well not cause of academic stress or so but cause of viral throat infection. I don't know somehow went thru it, went to exams with a sleep of half an hour literally but managed it, gosh! The time gap between two of my exams was very odd but nonetheless I tried and got done with that.Finally got relived from exams and my trip started the second week-weekend. It was honestly a great great trip to the mountains, hilly-areas, nature scenic and so much more. We overtime don't value the peace of mind which outing to a place outside our normal life brings to us. Came back from the trip and the normal work life started. The fourth week of March had been nostalgic as I had went to turf to play with my school friends and it went so good. I realized that we need to catchup with our school friends to let that down the lane memories roll on, which I had been very bad at but glad that I had done.

Something about the trip I had went to - So we booked a cab for our 6 day trips from a tour travels and mid way our driver was changed. This driver when we saw him for first time looked small (we thought might be around 21-22) , he wasn't that interactive but after 2-3 days of trip, dad asked him his age- "he replied 19". Our entire family was astonished as in why he is driving and all, when we asked him this he -said " I have 2-3 sisters and have to take care of their marriage" My respect towards him increased honestly, life is this way sometimes as in we say often maturity comes with age but I think "Maturity comes with your way of dealing with situations around you, being adaptable to it and simultaneously evolving.

Also, This blog I tried a new format of blogging unlike the other blogs.

Lastly, Its the First of April's ,when I am writing this. I hope the one reading this make sure they make something out of their life and make sure they don't make a fool of their life and in a positive way excel in Life :)

Bye,

Sam
