Entry n Exit
by Gayatri Joseph on Jul 12, 2007 10:38 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Coming from a typical middle class tamil family, i entered the best college in Chennai, with a borrowed salwar kameez, rubber slipper and my well plaited hair decked up with flowers by my mom and grand mom. Nobody bothered to strike a conversation with me, when there are other girls in fancy outfits coming in cars and bikes and setting their tossed up hair and catching up with their seniors and classmates from their society big named schools in the city, where no one wanting to hear my introduction part on my Government school education and aspirations. I joined NCC and all i could do was get few laurels for my college - being a winner of state level and national level competitions and finally had my name painted in the college board for making it to Delhi through NCC representing Tamilnadu. All i managed to realise and believe is "Be what you are and talk what you feel, people who matter do not mind, people who mind do not matter".

What a quote ! I liked it and salute your spirit. It always happens in life. People you run after , do not care for you, and those who care for you, you tend to ignore them. We always suffer from the complex of not being accepted by high and mighty of society. Just believe I am the best and excel in which ever field you can.
All the best.
