Being Ordinary by Choice

One of the most delightful things of all time is to walk down the memory lane. Irrespective of which stage of life you are into, reviving into incidents, people, situations, times, etc. recharges your mood and day, without a doubt J I genuinely feel that this attraction towards old and especially childhood memories is because of its authenticity. Childhood times are unalloyed for each one of us. The innocence that we carry into our behavior, our physical or mental state of being is unmatched, solely because it is super concentrated by purity and absolutely undiluted.

The examination day was at doorstep and he was now realizing that more than the result which he will have to face, he lost those precious days of practicing perseverance to get through any small or big milestone in life.

He tried to combat the situation but somehow self-condolences went in vain. Days went by, Rahul was heading towards utter silence. After few months, one day his father was back from his work and called Rahul in
