A friend of mine told me this today.
"Eh! I know the results!"
My heart was racing. What? What results? How did I fare?
2 minutes later, the world seemed to tumble down on me as I learnt the truth. The truth was - It had not turned out to be what I anticipated.
I felt like a total failure. Questions kept popping up in my head. After I hang up the phone, I find it hard to keep myself cool and banged my table real hard. Images of my academic results and my graduation ceremony slipped past in my head. Then tears came rolling down my cheeks. I cried.
He became the most hated man I had in my mind at the point of time.
I walked on the streets thinking of the possible reasons. Just what could have gone wrong?
A friend once told me this, "Do you know that your actions are exaggerated when someone happens to step on your toes, even accidentally?"
Now I guess that he was right. I would elaborate it here because the idea that came across my mind was horrible.
Now, I know I must work doubly hard from this day onwards.
Because what you gave is not equivalent to what you receive. And perhaps, it was right to say that having a certain kind of relations do make things work better. Easier to score. Just because there is a relation. Facts I saw proved everything right.
Pray hard.
