I have often wondered why bad things happen to good people. My heart went out to a particular person when tragedy befell but certain behavior over the last few days has managed to erase every sympathy I felt. I have always believed in the saying, 'What goes around, comes around'; today I reiterate that to myself with a lesson, that I may sympathize with them but when the inherent wickedness shows every emotion melts away showing the reason for the 'bad things' in the first place.

My Identity

Clearing the ever building up clutter in my cupboard I chanced upon my mark sheets collected and preserved carefully over the years. I looked and smiled in wonder knowing that in some time to come they will be nothing more than pieces of paper having served their purpose long ago. I always had a yearning to create an identity for myself where I would be known as myself and not as someone's daughter or sister and hence had decided to work after I finished my studies. This decision stuck with me for a long time but little did I realize the aim was achieved the moment I had started out to achieve it.
A few months back a chance encounter with an old teacher brought about the realization, that I had indeed created an identity for myself in the places where ever I have gone. I have created for myself what I wanted with people whose opinions mattered and I have left lasting impressions on those who are not easily impressed, so much that one meeting and we have remembered each other for years to come. There cannot be a bigger achievement for me academically and professionally.
Hence today I can rest in peace knowing that I achieved what I set out for in every dimension.
