So , I decided to do things for myself , and allow me to be what I am . I wanted to do things without any doubt in my mind ; no more “ ifs and buts ” in my life . I know it is hard to take such a stand , but I envisioned my life this way and know there is a “ sunny day .” I remember the poem from my school days , penned by Robert Frost :
“ The woods are lovely , dark and deep . But I have promises to keep , And miles to go before I sleep , And miles to go before I sleep .”
The morning came and I packed my luggage and left OU .
I come to OU now and then , not because I am free , but to re-create , rebuild and to meet MYSELF in every inch of OU , and preserve the lessons in my heart . OU is not a part of my life like other institutions I studied ; it is my LIFE where I met my true SELF . Now , I am proud like my Dad ( who is an alumnus of Arts College ) that I belong to the alumni of OU .
Remember guys , “ OU may or may not give you great opportunities , but it definitely teaches you how to be great .”
Phone rings . It ’ s Akshay , my classmate who is leaving for Saudi Arabia today , for an on-site assignment . The call was to check how things were going on in each other ’ s life . After the call , I marked the date on the calendar : 25th December 2016 . I counted the seconds for that day to come . So that I can again become a human from this machine life and to once again live LIFE .
( Note : I wrote this article for people who always become what they want to be rather than being what they got to be .)
