Change.......The effective and quirky thing....suits ;) that has happened to Akanksha ever.....
She now knows better than anyone that dwelling in the past can drain up all the life force in you ..
esp if your past is a mixture of moments that test your tolerance and inner strength.
It was before her board exams...
Riding high...;) That was her :)
Akanksha's typical day was like
School...
Tution(She despised her cousin for getting her an admission !!!yeah...It was a prestigious tutorial point in that town...One of the best...nah!!!It was reigning)
Home...
Akanksha's dad,Mr.Shashank was a very sincere government officer.He worships work and is a workaholic.He taught her dignity of labour.And he is the dad who would come home after work and play badminton or balloon games ( It is volleyballoon actually :D) with her and who everyday listened to all her sulking complaints about faculty or friends and who would advice her not to be dependent on anyone, not even him for anything.On the other hand,her mom Mrs.Prerna Shashank would give her company and would also carp about everything and everyone.Akanksha and her dad would go and watch all hollywood movies ( it was their lil secret they kept from Mrs.Prerna coz its a taboo at home).They were a pretty awesome as a family.
Akanksha studied in an all-girls school and all-girls Pre university college and yet had no qualms about the situations she has to face in future.She was pretty confident that her world will have little impact even if she joins a co-ed college.And it's time for her to start preparing for the graduate entrance exams.There was a lot to do and so little time left.And she found out that she takes more time to remember all the complex chemistry and physics concepts.Bang on!!!! She felt depressed. :( At home she threw tantrums quite often and her parents were worried.Her mom wanted to take her to a temple and pray ( :D she is so devotional which fortunately,the father and daughter duo arent).Her dad however didnt respond.He just told her,"Give it a try,I dont care whether you make it or not.If you can,I will be very happy but if you cant then I just want us to rejoice the fact that you didnt give up.You tried.So dont think too much :) .There is no point in crying over anything.All matters in your life is how much effort you have put in and whether you are happy with that.People think and say whatever they want to.But u shouldnt lead your life depending on what they say.Life is not all about marks and grades.Its about the knowledge and wisdom you acquire through the years.Its your life.Family will support you".He gave a pause to let the words sink in."May be sometimes our views might be different from yours.That just gives you a chance to explore both views and decide and go for the best one.You will then be in a position to support your decision.We wont judge you.We just will try to help you.And we try to protect you.Be Brave and Go for whatever you feel like right.But make sure you are safe and happy.".And he took Mrs.Prerna out for a walk deliberately giving Akanksha some lone time to think over what he said.
By the time they were back,Akanksha was back to herself and was a bit more in peace with herself.The change in her perspective towards life .All thanks to her wise dad and lovely mom.
How wonderful it would be,She thought,If everyone were like my parents.Then The world would get better people and will be much a better place.!!!!Another change should happen then!!!! :)
