Miracles - thank God for Small Mercies!!!

Well, where do i begin, its been a while since i blogged....
past few days and by past few days i actually mean many weeks and a couple of months.....bascially since beginning of this year, i've been at home all day, watching TV, listening to the radio, reading books, chatting online, working a bit on my thesis, going for long walks, meeting up with old friends, watching movies (on tv and at the theatre), sleeping alot, you know doing all the fun stuff that i've never been able to do when college and classes were on. So one can say this period has been like a rejuvination time or a meditative period for me.
Its wonderful to watch time pass by. i've been quite reflective these days...replaying those amazing moments that happened last year, those moments of success, learnings (i mean failures which actually have more to teach than success), fun, and adventure. I'm once again at the threshold of another phase in life....a year and a half ago i was standing at the beginning of a new phase - post graduation. it was my first step towards framing a career path....i had many roads ahead of me and i tried visualizing what consequence each road would give. And as i choose one road (SBS-MBA at Alliance Business Academy) i thought i had already figured out how my life would turnout at the end of 2 years there. well, to my credit or so, part of it turned out just the way i had imagined but the other part was completely a surprise. it is the latter part that my future from now will be based on. as i stand yet again awaiting an altogether a new phase in life i thank the divine source for the wonderful life it gave me in the past that has paved the way for my future.
Thank God for small mercies.
To my SBS classmates....
During my MBA days i've made alot of friends. some seniors some classmates some people from other batches pursuing different courses.....all have indeed added flavour and spice to my life at ABA. this journey has been really amazing. i dont know how to servour every last moment i have now...my student days are coming to an end (of course i'll always remain a student for Life) and we're walking out into the corporate world....the real test of of skills is yet to begin...like gold becomes pure after passing through the fire test we too will become refined and mature and hopefully become Alchemists.
i know the journey does not end here. the world is too small for us not to bump into each other every now and then. as we pursue our goals we will be asked to help one another, it maybe a small favour or a big one, but we must help nonetheless. the scent of the rose remains on the hand that giveth it. we've grown up together these 2 years acting as pillars of support to the other. each of us has rubbed off some quality onto the other in the process. we have learnt from and taught each other. we were brought together by fate and destiny shall separate us but we do have the choice in our hands to make our destiny. we should keep in touch if not physically and atleast rememeber each other in our prayers. distance is no obstacle as long as the heart feels. Life brings us many opportunities those which we can pick and make gold out of it. but while we make gold let us not forget our roots. As one climbs up the ladder do not forget the people you met on your way up, 'cause on your way down you will surely meet them again.
