As a 2-yr old baby girl, I was thin, wide-eyed and sooo loved by all in the family for the way I used to talk and dance.. I loved to dance right from childhood.
My life as a child was sooooo beautiful.
I realized that everyone around me loved being with me. You could call this fame...
But as we know, everythin has a turning point.. I had mine too..
I was admitted to Mount carmel college. The only reason of why I even studied during my 10th was to get some good percentage so that I could get into this college.
My mom is more than a friend to me. She supports me in all my decisions. I always wonder If I could ever so trust my kids too? Well, later about my mom..
And so, I scrapped through and got an 82% in 10th(Thank you Jesus!) and got into Mounts; My dream.
I enjoy dressing well... In fact, I enjoyed it soo much that I used to design and stitch my own clothes. So, Me n mom , we got into a deal.
Mom told me that I had 2 options while getting into a college. Apart from studying well, She knew that I also loved being in the limelight. So, she sensibly offered me an advice. She said, If I am to enjoy my clothing, then Its best to get into Mounts which is all girls; In which case, I would not feel conscious about my clothing. And If I was ready to give up on that, then I could continue own the limelight in Christs college with my dance.
At that point, I didn't realize that my mom was actually insecure about me being in wrong paths. She probably felt that It was always safe to be stylish, well dressed and happy rather than allow me to study with boys and bring troubles home.. hihihihi.
Anyways, I finally chose Mounts. That was my journey from School to college. But whats waiting for me in Mounts? Was it what I expected??? Am I still gonna be in the limelight?? NO.. I was not.
It was here, that I realized that all the hails I was feeling about myself in my heart was not even 1/4th of the talents the girls in this campus had. Being the best in Dance in all the groups I had been soo far, I still had to struggle to even join a dance team in the college. But I somehow gave a good performance and managed to get into the Western dance association of my college the next year.
This was probably my first lesson as a teenager.
"Never boast or have an attitude even if all the people around you set you for an example, coz you never know, You may actually be nowhere in the next crowd you are to dwell"
