METAMORPHOSIS…Transformation from a timid caterpillar to sans soucy butterfly

My first day of college….i entered the class dressed up in chudidar with chunni pinned up,oiled plaited hair,wearing thick specs .I felt like odd man out seeing other people, as I was the only proper south Indian among the girls .I wasn’t sure where to sit as I was worried how other girls would receive me.The only girl I knew by that time was Vani and I preferred sitting beside her and mamta sinha .I was very excited to meet new people of different cultures,languages which I was totally unaware of at that time. Slowly people came to know I was good with my academics and they started taking help from me regarding studies.

Slowly my friendship improved as I was very friendly and good to my co students and many of my friends like shikha ,vani,shivi helped me with hindi which made my staying here a lot easier.I learned many things regarding dressing ,talking to boys etc etc .

I used think that for making friends with boys gals shud have great looks , smart talking skills blah blah…

Coz of few comments I used to get from some boys,and in my B.ETC lab group I was the only girl and no boy used to talk to me initially.

But once I started talking to my 1st few frnds among boys ricky ,thapa,termi …my opinion changed.They treated me twith much respect and I really felt very great and comfortable in their company. I felt confident that luks,language all these don’t matter for being gud frnds with any person..it’s all ur genuineness dat matters.

With the change in my attitude my wardrobe also changed.Now it included new pair of lenses, jeans & T s(which I nvr used to wear when I was down south),proper chudidars……

Once I became confident ,I used to interact with all the people in the class, used to help everyone in which ever way possible….especially my helping thapa with exams made me pretty famous among other branches .

During freshers I was actively involved in many jobs and made friends with almost all the branch including Le’s, branch changers. This experience earned me great friends like puja,sony,amrish,kaushal,ajay,roshan,sunny....

With my spending many hrs in reading room to help my nepali frnd with his exams , I made many new frdns like romi,nidhi,jiggi,payal,nish,anki……….

Initially I was so regular to classes but once after this transformation my seriousness towards studies also changed . I used to bunk classes or run away in between the class,put proxy ,became a back bencher and used to make “halla” in d class.My interest towards sports increased as my friends play football. I attend every match they play.

My attitude towards life changed after seeing my friends. Initially I used to panic for very small probs but later on I took any kind of problem easily and my belief became life without problems is boring and every problem has a solution ..the thing is jst have to find the solution.Once this attitude came into me ,everything around me seemed so beautiful and lively.I njoyed each n every moment of my life and understood the importance of self confidence and independence.

Now I am not wrried about my appearence or wat people speak about me or wat life has in store for me.i am ready to take any new challenge .My college experience In these 4 yrs prepared me to step into the world and make it a sky for my wings to fly.

sahi hai jaya.
jab se hum logon ne tumhe jana tab se bhi u changed a lot in appearance.
we can say a total transformation from a more serious jaya to a fun loving gal who wants to enjoy every moment of life no matter how it comes to u.
that's the attitude which makes u different from others and why we feel proud to b u friend.

Jaya,you have done a great job in coming out from comfort zone and adapting in a environment which was completely new to you.

"A person with average look but excellent moral values is far better than a person with attractive look but with no moral values".

Have a bright future,Jaya.
