Three of us used to sit in the same bench 7yrs ago and dream of greater things than what other classmates used to. This made us feel special about ourselves and made us a strong, isolated clique. Time passed, each one of us put in efforts in their own ways, dreaming about the same things, nevertheless complacent with what we could achieve even though we were not even close to the beautiful dream. But one among us could accomplish what we dreamt…no more than what we dared to dream. Today two of us are pursuing studies in Hyderabad but ‘the one’ could enter IIT and now he is in MIT, yesss The Massachusetts Inst of Tech, Boston.
It was very thrilling to hear that one of us could attain great heights, and spent the whole of evening in elation but at the end of the day realised that the little more efforts, which he could put in with a perfect strategy, worked wonders for him. Yet again I realised that ‘a little effort of today can yield you great results’.
For people over here MIT is like a myth. We know that it exists on the other side of the globe where the greatest minds of the world are at work, but never even dare to enter it cause it is not one of the best but ‘The Best’. One can see Stephen hawking pass by, noble laureates present their talks, work with the kind of technology, which the world witnesses after a decade. They are ahead of time. I am proud that one of my best friends will sit with the cream of world academician community and who knows, he can become one of the best civil engineers.
Yesterday was exciting but a lot more inspiring. Thank you my dear friend for making me feel that way not by words but by the mere presence.
