Personal Achievement

Do you remember when Rocky Balboa finished climbing the footsteps or mountain, he always rose both his hands in joy, as if he already won the battle. To me it is not actually winning the fight, but to fulfill the goals, dreams and praising himself for accomplishing the same. In my case, it was not that difficult, but hey, I attained my two dreams. That worth something, for me. First one will be the completing the ICT Green Marathon. The track I chose was the exact same used on 2010, the only race I ever participated. For last a month, I was facing a problem in my left leg for a pair of corns. Doctor cut it twice to completely remove it. It actually put some fear in my mind, that if I walk fast, it will regenerate. But thanks to one trekking trip to Karnala Fort with a pair of Chappals, given me quite a confidence that I can again start jogging. I had in my mindset, that sooner or later I will do that. Last Friday, One of my Pal and I planned for Chorbazar Shopping.So we woke up early, went to busstop to catch a bus. We waited for 45 minutes but not a single bus came for our purpose. It was 0530 hr in morning and both of us got bored and returned to hostel. I was so tossed that I immediately decided to do it. The route was ICT main entrance- Garnish- Dadar Circle- Wadala Station- Kings Circle - Side entrance of ICT. I did no shortcut, neither did any single moment stop, so I was honest to myself at that. I know that this short route is nothing compared to those who runs everyday for an hour, but it is an achievement for me, more because I could not reach the finish line when I ran for the first time. As I was alone, I claimed the first prize and for the first time in my life, I got it, from myself of course and I am not ashamed.

Second incident happened just yesterday afternoon and it is even smaller than the earlier one. Yesterday was Manzar 2013 fashion show and I really hate that, why I dont know. So I went to Worli Sea Face. Ever since I came to Bombay I like that place. Now for the first time, I went near to the Sea, and sat there for one hour or more. I was amazed that so near to the road yet so calm atmosphere. I enjoyed the sound of breaking waves to the rocks and one beautiful Sunset.I did not care for my clothes to get wet and for the reason, my jeans was completely drenched. But who cared for that, I loved that solitude I longed for. Then while returning I took my favourite Roasted Sweet Corn from a street side vendor. The only thing I truly missed in myself in front of the vast Sea was my imagination. I felt I am neither a poet nor a painter to assimilate and express the beauty of the scenery. But I am really that I was able to manage sometime to enjoy that place.

From these two incidents, I regained some of my positiveness and so I am saying these two as my Personal Achievements.
