आशा की एक किरण……

I stand in front of the mirror and keep gazing at myself for a while…This combination of black and white makes me feel like a soldier with hidden weapons …after exactly 7 seconds I look at my watch ,every ticking minute signals and says just one thing “DARLING…..IT’S  SHOWTIME”.

When the month of October started it not only ushered the placement or the corporate job season it also brought with it a package of emotions be it anxiety,fear,disappointment,happiness….you name it and I have experienced it. My moral and enthusiasm has been like the never stable graph of the stock market.

Where I am super happy for my friends…painting their doors with message of congratulations….penning happy messages on their shirts for a bright future……but in some deep corner of my mind my anxiety level reaches a notch higher.

WHEN WILL MY DAY COME?????

But then hear is where my intelligent heart steps in and it brings in a ray of hope of positive and bright future….it lightens आशा की एक किरण within me.

When I was a little girl my world revolved around the word आशा (Aasha). This one word summarized all my dreams, my desires, my hopes for a life that I always wished for.

As a super imaginative kid I had the ability to imagine the most fancy, unusual things and happenings and every time I used to narrate these out of the world fantasies of mine to some elder I was in for a very good lecture on reality and maturity.

But isn’t maturity overrated??? What a mundane life it would be if it is filled with the calculated cruel reality

Despite all the lectures and scolding’s I have my deep faith rooted in my hopes and dreams.

So keep wishing and desiring because when both of these stops failure knocks in…as someone has truly said:

जहाँ हिम्मत समाप्त होती है.
वहीँ हार की शुरुआत होती है.
आप धीरज मत खोइए.
अपना कदम फिर से उठाइए
Never lose faith in yourself because somewhere there is still आशा की एक किरण 🙂
