Sometimes, due to some funny imbalance or impulse of the moment, we forget that special thing we wanted to say that was to spring from deep within our hearts.
Those may be a few words that we wished to say to somebody to inspire, please or rejuvenate them but they just get left out.
This happened to me twice majorly and I can't do anything but feel bad.
After our secondary school certificate examination results were out in style, an event was planned to distribute trophies and prizes. My principal requested me to speak a few words and I was actually ready to address the younger batches.
I told them about how proud I was about our batch result and I told them about the various benchmarks and trends we had set for the school in the recent years, like increasing the no of Scholarship holders and merit holders and so on. And on a concluding note, I quoted the performance of a senior friend, Abhijeet whose score was yet unbeaten till then, I.e July 2014 and told the youngsters that they were extremely capable of breaking that recording and setting many more in the near future.
I had dearly wished to quote the names of my school founders : Phatak Sir and Madam, who used to love not just me, but every other student in our batch. They were proud of our every achievement and took active interest in awarding and praising us and I remember this right from kindergarten.
I wished to tell everyone how proud they would have felt if they were here to witness the glory of millennium and the successes and feats yet to come but it just didn't come out on the stage.
But, my words turned to gold as the very next year, that is this year, my friend Tanvi Ganu not only bettered my friend Abhijeet's 97% with a 97.2% by topping their batch and in addition to that the entire batch turned up the result a notch as more than 53 students crossed the 90% mark which was a significant increase from 34 students above 90% from my batch.
Truly proud of her, and their entire batch. I'm glad my motive was clear to them all and my words came to life due to their focussed perseverance.
