MIND TRACK: Coping With Loss

There is just one permanent thing in life and that is CHANGE. When any change happens in our lives, there are certain loses and gains which take place with it. We can say that no two days are alike. Life sometimes offer us all joys, pleasures, success and popularity. There are no obstacles and pinpricks to bother us. We may have everything aspired for in life. The journey of life is very smooth until... we meet with an accident. Destiny that had been so kind to us, all of a sudden gives an ugly turn to the smooth course of life.

Yes, something like this happened with me. I was born and brought up in Delhi. I spent 14 years of my life there. I was very happy and was enjoying myself to the fullest.

But then I had to come to Chandigarh. Well I prepared and adapted myself in this BIG change. But there was one thing which was killing me the most, leaving my school. I was studding in Mother's International School since class nursery (1st April 2000) but then like it's said-'All Good Things Come to an End'. It was very hard for me to leave Mother's and come in a new environment. I had to leave all my friends, my beloved teachers, the school building which was like my second home.

On 30th June 2011 I went to the school with my mother to collect the Transfer Certificate, when I took that piece of paper in my hands, I was totally freaked out to see that I'm no more in this institute. I saw my name was being stroked out from the computer. I felt like crying.

On 2nd July 2011 I'd gone to my school to meet my friends and teachers. When I entered the gate I suddenly realised that I'm an outsider now. The Matri Store, the roads, the benches in the field, the football field, badminton and basketball court, the jungle gym, class rooms, activities rooms, canteen, stair cases, Mirambika, and each and every bit of MY school made me feel so homely and nostalgic. I met my friends and teachers and it seemed like that nothing had happened, they were the same

I love you all so much.

Mother's International School gave me a lot, this institute taught me how to live your own life. Although I was not a bright student, I use to break the rules, not listen to the teachers and things like that, but what MIS wanted that I have good values and lead a powerful life. The teachers supported me in all circumstances. My friends were always there to help me, cheer me up when I was low. Leaving MIS is the BIGGEST change I've ever come across.

MIS owns a special place in my heart, MIS has given me the best 10 years of my life and nobody in this universe can give me such joy, pleasure, enjoyment, values etc which MIS has given. It is said that 'The Mother's International School is known for a difference' Yes it is actually known for a difference, It made a great positive difference in my life, and now it's just that I'm not present in MIS, but I'm a flower of MIS even after I die.

Because Once a MISen is Always a MISen.
