The Firsts of Many

    My life started with darkness yeah you read it right it's darkness but donā€™t judge me right  way hold on what until I take you through my story so yeah it started with darkness because i hadnā€™t opened my eyes yet and then someone all of a sudden said ā€œlet there be lightā€ and that's the first time i opened my eyes and Iā€™m sure someone learnt that dialogue from some random english movie that was running on the TV

    So we are actually going to go through my life timeline until this very day from the first day out of which one indent i have told you guys already 'me opening my eye' it was quiet a big thing for my fans and here by fans i mean to say my parents as they were the ones who were most eagerly waiting for me like a diehard fan of shahrukh khan waiting outside of his house just to get a glance of his face. That was the first of many disappointment that i faced in my just started life cause life was nothing like it was expected the very moment i came out of the womb i started crying, not out of happiness for sure but i was shocked to see many people getting happy upon seeing me cry. reality hit me in the face back then.

    After this comes the first time i tried walking, oh god donā€™t even ask it was a pretty big task back then, like Edison said i found 99 ways not to walk but that meant i had a lot of falls to achieve my first walk and muscles were all sore and that was the best part because i get free massages.

    Oh yeah i almost forgot, my first words well there's nothing much left to guess in it but still Iā€™m keeping it a secret and we'll see how many of you co-relate. It was exciting to be able to speak up those first words that was my first public speech as well.

    Who forgets their first school, on joining school I was made sure I experienced many more firsts of my life which are an everlasting memory and that I can recall up to this day. My firs school, class, friend even the school bus i travelled has an emotional connection attached to it and that makes it special. The first thing to learn in school was obviously the English alphabet and the first time I said all those 26 characters of the alphabet at a stretch, felt like l owned the world. That was when i first tasted appreciation and the thirst hasn't reduced till date and i will continue doing so.

    I must mention about Julie my first pet well actually she's a senior and she's been seeing from the time mom was pregnant more like a guardian would do.

    The first time you get scoldingā€™s or make your parents proud of you or stand up for yourself well these things are such which still fire us up even today, they happen once but leave its effect till the end. The first time I saw my lil brother was the first sense of responsibility and it had come without anyone asking for it.

    The first time I made my parents proud was the first time they saw me on a stage& thatā€™s  the first time l realised I can make them happy. The first fight that I had with my dad, even though it didn't last long, it was a tough thing to do.

    I'm sure not many people remember their first day of school but i still run that memory in my mind every time im low and with first school comes first friend and we know no one forgets their first friend and hey you whoever is reading this if you don't have that friendship running still please don't get jealous over me cause i have been lucky in that case. If you ask me id say making friendship is easier compared to maintaining it, i have maintained one for over 2 decades now, isn't that enough to celebrate every day of your life.

Now that you guys are reading this article just wanted to let you know that this is a ā€œfirstā€ too not for me though but my college but my first article was a long time back where i wrote one bout my dad, yeah I keep repeating and involving my dad a lot cause he is my many "firstsā€ in life like my first hero, friend, mentor and many more its just that he owns a lot of pages in my life book.

    Ups and downs are a natural thing that everyone faces in their life, no one talks about their ups in life cause it doesn't teach anything but is the result of your hard work whilst the downs  are what teaches you what life in real is and makes you ready to face the world i too had many ups and downs mentally and physically, i was at a stage where i was really low mentally and like i said downs are what make you a better person, u donā€™t lose anything when you are down but you gain special friends whom you want to believe in forever, i too met one such friend these friends aren't those who had stayed with you for the longest time but at the right time and bring hope in life and swear to support you in life no matter what and prove it as well but then there are also friends who just stay there with that tag done nothing but texting once in a while just to make sure they are alive and Iā€™m not even joking have seen such friends too. No matter what happens just see to it that at the end of the day you are smiling when you go back to sleep, make memories be it bad or good cause you canā€™t choose what memory you want, yes you can go on a road trip itā€™ll be a memory but we donā€™t get to decide if itā€™s a good one or bad one because you know what ā€œlife happensā€.

    So yeah: thanks guys for travelling through my timeline i have shared a few "firstsā€ of my life with you Iā€™m sure even you would have precious ones like this too make sure that you donā€™t forget them when new things show up.  I have many such firsts but still every day is another chance to make many more firsts again and never lose that charm of ā€˜firsts' or else everything will end up being the "lasts"
