Graduation! It's a day where students wait eagerly during the beginning of a year and a day which they don’t want to come during their final year. It is a day where maximum of photo sessions
are seen like it does during a marriage. It is an emotional day where you don’t
want to let go off your memories with your friends, teachers and the campus.
Erika, who was a graduate that day was beautifully dressed in a
saree. She had a smile which radiated through her eyes to the people indicating
the joy of graduating and her smile also radiated a vision which was within her
to achieve big in life with flying colours.
Erika was very
different compared to other girls of her age, she was a happy girl and was
matured enough to handle things. “Happy girls are the prettiest” she used to
say and move around where people surrounding Erika would be happy seeing her happiness.
It was a lesson for other girls to know that happy girls attracted the most to
people than any other prettier girls. Erika’s maturity and her character made
her have a lot of friends. She was the college topper for that year and she was
a few moments away from receiving the felicitation from the principal.
All of us
would feel the same on graduation day, that the time period in college passed
very quickly and so was the case of everyone in her college.
Erika,
before receiving the certificate of graduation from the principal wanted to
meet a person who was solely responsible for her to be the way she was. The
anxiety of meeting him for one last time made Erika fear and slowly started
walking towards the staff room where Vijay used to sit. Vijay was busy posing
for pictures with his students.
“Ah! There
you are” said the master happily to Erika. They both shared a very good
chemistry in the college of a student and a teacher and Vijay had helped Erika
a lot in her personality development. One of the statement that Vijay had
taught her was ‘’Happy Girls are the prettiest’’ which made Erika be a happy
person.
“”I’m going
to miss you so much” said Erika to Vijay where tears were about to roll down
her cheeks. Vijay casually held his hand over her head and said, “I surely will
miss you too my dear.”
Then Vijay
congratulated Erika for her performance in academics and Erika just wished she
could’ve received the certificate from the person who mattered the most in the
college, Vijay. Vijay wanted to tell Erika what always kept him worried at the
back of his mind when he used to think about women today.
In this
society, we always find a girl who tops in school, we always find a girl who
tops in her exam during college days but where is her performance as she starts
getting older? This always used to worry Vijay regarding his female students. Their
contribution to the society is not appreciated and the perception about women
doing something for themselves should be changed. They too have dreams, they should be allowed to fulfill them and do something big without having to
compromise. Vijay advised Erika regarding this and finally their talk was over
when Vijay wished Erika to make it big in life to her maximum capable potential.
Erika gently smiled and thanked her master who was her inspiration. Their
conversation ended with a smile and finally the master had some expectation of
women too achieving the way he dreamt of.
“I’ll not compromise for anything sir, the days of me reaching
the top are soon to come’’. I will do
it, I will do it, she said to herself and moved to the auditorium to get felicitated with her degree.
Dear women, do not compromise on your dream for anything. Your potential is being appreciated during your younger days, continue to make a difference as you grow old. Finally WIN WORLD BY LOVE.
