Fortune was in favour

Phew! What a day! I was dead scared about the fact that today too, the bank, the post office, the college and the university will delay all my work. But thankfully nothing as such happened and all was done smoothly. I posted some five letters, because both my personal life and my professional life demands that from me now. I also find joy in writing letters. Though direct communication instantly, is deferred but it is good to experience it. It has that retro charm to it. And as far as the professional writing is concerned, by now I am a pro in writing all the god damn it stuff. But the good thing is that once it is posted and delivered, they contact you via your email Id. The post office thing was my first work today. Going to the bank was my second. And I was just hoping for some miracle to take place and it did. The bank was almost empty, except for me and another elderly lady. And my work was done in a matter of ten minutes and I was happily out of the bank. All the bank related matters in Kolkata, settled for the time being. Next was college office. Surprisingly they did not make me wait either. All my documents were signed,sealed, ready. All I had to do was take it from them. Can you believe it? Because usually the office asks you to wait till 3pm even when the work is all done by the authority. I was about to leave college, since there was no class but suddenly the thought of collecting the marksheet arrived in my mind and I wasted no more time. Climbed up the stairs, got the marksheet and then happily left for University. Happy because half of my work was done and I was ready to spare two hours in the university campus. But then fortune was in my favour today. I went to the needed office and submitted the required documents and my work was done. Can you believe? It was done. All that I had to do on my part is over. Now the rest is on the authority and I have decided to leave it here from today. I shall run no more for this cause. Now I took a bus and instead of getting down at my destination, I hopped down at Hati Began. Let's just say I am not a spendthrift or rather I am known more as a miser. And for those readers who don't know me properly, let me tell you something. I will be a miser till the day I get my first salary. So till then, happy to be one. But today I was favourably in a good mood and thus I bought a beautiful, beautiful bag for my mother. It was anyway from the money I earn by my private tutorship. I felt good about it. Shopping independently makes a woman happy. Okay- not true for all women. But holds true for most. One version of femininity that some women can embrace. I came back home. I gave my mother her bag. She was happy. And whatelse? The best gift for me is her happiness. All I have is her. All my happiness is for her. Things have become easier with her in Kolkata. Matters that bothered me in the past don't bother me anymore. She has always been an inspiration and she keeps on telling me that ' in a world filled with sadists, you have to remain optimistic'. So even after all that had happened in the past few months, I have pulled through. Why? Because of my mother. Because of my father too, because he was so, so strong mentally. Now I know that. Because of my grandfather. Why? Because I am his pride. Because of Souvik too. Why? He is just making me stronger each passing day. I am happy of my upbringing. I am happy that I can claim that my maturity is more than many of my classmates. I am proud that I don't have any nasty notions and feelings against me or anyone. And what more? I will just keep up the fight and work towards what I have always dreamt for. The path is still risky. But I am ready to take up the challenge. I firmly believe in God and his usually not so good ways of making me a better and stronger human being.
