April 10th
Oh April 10 th today! This day had been a v important day in my earlier days.
This is the day, me, my parents and neighbors too would look forward for! This is the day, I would get results for my efforts through out the year.
For ages ,I remember this day! Every year,I would go to school with mixed feelings of happiness and heaviness in my heart. Meeting friends,known faces and few teachers after a break would be bliss. Seeing fresh flowers and trees blooming in my walk way path to school was so beautiful. But that happiness would drop immediately after getting marks card. Cos it was always lesser than the toppers!! And that would break my heart those days. Now nothing can…cos time n life has taught me more! evening ;)
After reaching home,dad n mom will have their resentment. Of course neighbors would all be waiting for some drama at home!! If by chance I ever scored 90 in any subject, my mom would ask why I lost those 10 marks. Such was the expectations which I would never ever meet!!
The whole vacation would go either in getting scolding or advise, making me feel miserable for entire vacation.
Even during such times, I would try myself to be happy in any small thing around me. Playing under trees, eating fresh raw mangoes,gauvas from trees in my home garden, watching roses blooming and of course day dreaming a lot!!
Amidst of all this, I would look forward for the vacation in Grand ma's house for at least 10 days. Cos there nobody would question about my performance!;
Awww nice good old days. This day10/4 taught me about handling criticism,taking advises, introspection and being mysel
f even during crisis. And hoping to overcome failures and grow up every single day!! Awww still growing!!
Love and gratitude,
Uma
