Nostalgia ! ! !

I was born in the year 1986.Then came 1987,then 1988 and then 1989...I was admitted to school on my 3rd bday 23rd June 1989 :).After 15 years of school and almost 4 years of college life,one fine day..reality struck me...hey ! I'm there ! The year i always dreamt of "2008".The year I would be graduating,the time I would take my first real step in this unpredictable world,the transformation from a "gal" to a "lady".

I remember all those years I spent eagerly day-dreaming about 'growing up'.And now when I'm almost there,when my life is about to change,when I'm actually transforming,when I'm beginning to understand life,I wish...I realllllly wish...I could be that same little innocent girl once again !!!

Over the years,the people i've met,the situations i've been in,the relationships that i've lived,the bumpy roads that i've travelled,the variety of books that i've read,the tears that could never come out,the mysterious smiles,the expressive eyes,the silences which were often stronger than words have actually changed me completely as a person..The world is no longer a fairytale with rainbows,colorful flowers,beautiful dresses,a prince charming and happy-forevers.There is much more to it.The struggle against oneself,the grabbing of opportunities,the patience,the determination,to forgive and to forget,to smile even when in pain,to identify your well-wishers,to not carry the burdens of the past to the present,to respect God's decisions and keep the faith in Him and yourself alive...This and much more is all a part of growing up.

Gone are the days of ignorance...of bliss.I'm happy to move on..to enter a new phase of life but I'm sure at times I'll miss the Saniya that I once was.The one who lived in dreamland and who believed that every story has a happy ending :)
