What I both like and dislike about life,is that fact that it brings up the past and it is unpredictable.
Yesterday,somebody whom I am not close to,but I do remember fondly,made my day.Just by one thought,one memory.I had a 'Its a Wonderful Life' moment.
A year ago,I met a junior of mine LM.She is not pursuing a course at a well known institute in Pune and hopes to become an ace in her field some day.I have complete faith in her,I know she will make it big.I hope the best for her.She has always been a step ahead of a lot of people around her,whether she knows it or not.Now,in case you are wondering where I come into the picture.Apparently,I taught her the basics of what lead her to take up this course,sat all night so that she understood it and then she realised it was this area that she wanted to pursue.
I remember helping others,but I didn't really remember this until she brought it up.Even after she did,the memory is only vague to me,but to her it is vivid.I have been proud of her knowing her,but at that one instance,she made my day.
Then,yesterday,someone from school put up pics on facebook.I was happy to see that she got some awards and her parents seemed so proud.She was a school classmate,not a friend but with school classmates,unless they are on 'the other side' they are your friends (and not just merely acquaintances).So,i 'liked it'.The pics made me imagine what a calm teacher she'd be.
After a while I get a message from her 'I don't know if you remember this,but on SG Day,you told me 'You'll make a good teacher' and today I'm on the verge of fulfilling that dream.Thank you.'She thoroughly made my day.
Dear Universe,I REALLY did not realise that I actually had this much presence in other people's lives.I fail to recognise this,sincerely.These two incidents overwhelmed me in a very nice way.
