Convocation, Day of self-realisation :)

Since I am 3rd in my department, i thought i will be receiving my degree on stage( as my parents are coming to see convocation, i have deeper wish), but to my surprise college announced that only department topper will be receiving the medal on stage. I felt really bad from the day the news was announced, i am disappointed so much and was not able enjoy the moment. During the convo i went to deep thoughts upon the incident. Then i realised some thing great, i have achieved want i predicted during my college life in relation to academics, so why should i get disappointed? These are few things i want to achieve 
  • Get a CGPA of >9.13(don't ask me why 9.13, it just first cutoff i have made in first few days of  college life)
  • To be in the top 3 for the final year, since it will fetch me Honor on the stage during institute day 2009, which i wanted my parents to receive.
And i realised i made it, my CGPA > 9.13 and i am in top 3 for the final year, so from that moment i stopped cribbing about not letting me on stage and started enjoying "the moment", Our Convocation. By this time the chief guest started talking, and it's good. Spent a great time with our juniors, batch mates, fellow gultis, playing cricket, meeting Master Ashok Raj, my Karate Master, chatting with faculty of ur college and so on. Finally there ended the "4th Convocation of NITT", one of the moment of achievement of the life for me and and memorable moment for my parents :). Gone home from there to celebrate Vinayaka Chathurdhi with parents.
