Dear you,
I am overwhelmed by completion of my degree today. I took my last practical for my Masters degree at Panjab University yesterday, which btw I might have aced too. By my standards, I have actually worked for school over the past year. I have actually studied for the viva I just took. It says a lot about who I have become.
I want you to know that at this time I am glowing with pleasure from almost all facets of my life. I have a gorgeous woman in my life who is so smart and so well put in spirit and on face. I have the best family in the world. They mean the world to me. I have a brother who needs a little support, he is going through a rough phase; but I know he will be fine till he keeps going on, keeps doing what he needs to. The house seems to be a huge problem right now, but I know that would be cleared out as well. It has to.
I am hoping you are a satisfied man, I am hoping life has treated you with a lot of greatness, a lot of realism, and most of all you are the man you always (on a superficial level) knew you wanted to be. It does not matter if your face is not plastered all over walls and on billboards, or your company has a advertising department for big hoardings and such. It doesn't matter if you made a lot of money or not, or if you have an expensive car, butlers and a personal handy man. It matters though you have a zeal for life and your as youthful as you were when you were 16. I hope you have Babbu in your life, it doesn't matter as who. I hope your parents are well and happy, and they are finally doing things the way most people their age and with their wisdom do.
I would like you to remember a few specific experiences/things from your past, from the last one year. I have divided them below into positive and negative experiences.
Positives:
- I passed everything on my 2nd and 3rd semester. Its been so long since I have faltered at school.I would like to keep at it for a lot lot longer.
- My parents have been relative healthy.
- Hitesh is a great friend. We recently went out for 'London Thumka' (Queen) movie. I think I might have seen Bani at the theaters.
- I received one of the best birthday greetings from Prabhneek (not really...he was very reluctant: TIRED PRABHU), Preet and Babbu. It was so cute.
- Shweta has finally come to terms with her and me.
- Shwetas career is on an upswing (*fingers crossed*). I hope she keeps on doing great. She just got a job offer from the creators of Simply Hired. There is nothing greater than recognition for good work. Considering how hard she works, she deserves the world.
- I get a lot of attention these days for how I look. It is a bitter sweet feeling, since I am so averse to attention, and how inappropriately people in India stare. As long as its women its okay (actually great!!), but it is disturbing witnessing men gawking at you.
- I might be ready going back. *Fingers crossed again*
Negatives:
- I might be getting a little too superstitious, case in point the two finger crosses above.
- We had a fight with our neighbors about something stupid. I hate having to be a part of it. I hate it more than anything.
- I really don't like that I don't get to travel and experience things as much as I want to, or at all.
- I am having a lot of problems dealing with not knowing what I want to do at this age. I think of Data Science, Analytics, Statistics some days, Environmental Engineering on others, recently I have made myself believe that I might be best at HR or recruitment. I dont know if I am fit for much else. Of course that might change if I get an MBA soon. But that is then.
At this point my goals are:
- To get back to Babbu.
- To finish off another masters degree that helps me build a career, something I can respect.
- To help my parents out of this shit they've gotten themselves in it. I can't assume I am not in it too.
This is all for now. I hope you're in great health and take time off to do the things that pleasure you the most.
Best,
(The twenty years younger version of you)
