Those Goosebumps on the Stage...

I am writing down the memories of one of the happiest days of my life...

It was a pleasant Wednesday morning. The faint morning light and the chirping of the birds made it more peaceful and joyous. But the state of my mind was indescribable that morning and thats because I knew the evening was going to be even more joyous and memorable...

It was 14.10.2015- The Foundation Day of RK University and The 3rd Convocation ceremony, which was going to be memorable for thousands of graduates and their parents as they were going to get the degree on that day.

Again the reason of my happiness was a bit different...I was not happy just for the degree or the ultimate completion of B.Tech, rather, I was excited to receive the gold-medal that evening...

The joy and excitement of that victory of the 4 years journey was clearly seen in my eyes... I was waiting for the sun to set so that a new sun of my life could rise... 

The noon became pleasant due to the meeting with the old friends after a long time. Seeing people who helped you, in some or the other way, to achieve a new pinnacle of your life, is equally joyous. But the real bliss was felt at 6:30 pm. When my parents were instructed to take their position so they can be on the stage for the honor and I was ready for the procession towards the venue...

The procession began in no time... Being surrounded by the dignitaries and the cameras from all the sides was something that obviously made me get the goosebumps. Reaching the venue, I took my seat and moments later my name was announced and I was supposed to be on the dais, with my parents, to receive the degree certificate and the gold medal... I was still normal and conscious but the moment I climbed the dais and saw that my father was awarding me the Certificate of Merit with tears of joy in his eyes, I got the feeling that I had never felt before. I was on cloud 9 and somewhere deep inside, I was thanking God and my teachers to bring me to that culmination in my life..!

The day ended with a wonderful interview, delicious food and a chat session with faculties and friends...But the memories of that day would never end...It has been imbibed in my heart and will preserve that for life time because all the feeling of complexion and dis satisfaction that were there in my mind previously, were washed out that day and some sweet feelings were replaced...

I wish every deserving person could live one such day in his/her life and make their contributors proud...
