Hi. This is my first day here. First I would like to tell you guys that I graduated today. Hurray!! Yeah. But that feeling hardly stayed with me. Because today is the day when my father has also retired. And I don't know how to feel, to be happy for my achievements or to be upset for the man who has given 35 years of his life to service and I know that despite his effort to hide his emotions, we all can feel how heartbreaking it is to him. And it's somehow eating me with guilt because by now I should have been capable of looking after him, my family, but here I am, sitting on the couch, wandering around my thoughts like a teenager. But today a tiny part of me felt a bit sad for me. See, that's because I've never really celebrated my "achievements". Be it, being 1st in the 1st grade or 1st div in 10th or 1st class jn degree. I still remember I had to compete with my best friend to be in the 1st rank and stick to it. The minute the rank changes ,my mother used to go bananas. And I don't blame her because education is no longer a platform to gain knowledge, it's all a horse race now. Then during 10th, I got 75%, now that was a miracle to me , so I was dead excited but that happiness didn't last because my sister got around 50% in 12th so my parents were kind of freaking out. Then when I got above 60% in 12th, taking science, it may be a glass of water for many people, but trust me with this, I literally cried when I saw my results. But that day too , my father got to know that my sister wasn't doing well in her studies , hence our whole house was filled with sorrow as someone had died. Today again , same thing happened and I don't blame anyone here, I just felt a bit sad for myself and I guess that’s okay. The reason for me being here writing my heart out in this platform does not mean I have no friends or someone close to share, I am not just comfortable and honestly speaking , these days everyone is busy and occupied with their problems, don't want to vent and add to it. Thank you if someone reads this. Or maybe not, but I am feeling damn light. See ya.
