Take a chance

This might become  the worst post ever aired on web but making and completing a promise is far greater than taking a chance.  I am not at all a typical writer, novelist or author but I hope I can  justify this title "take a chance" from one of my latest experiences. I took almost a year to finally pad up myself to contribute to  the "world of blogs". Though many people have helped in padding me but let's move forward without giving  them much credit because it is me who is doing a final task of bringing my thoughts down to the paper. 

I am 21 right now and I am quite a serious looking guy as always quoted by my friends but I never felt this , not at all actually whenever I stand in front of mirror I find myself pretty cool handsome guy. Ok ! no more jokes on personality because it is something god gifted, so respect it always. But I wonder how a good personality, a good tongue to speak, will hinder the way to success. I strongly believe we can climb on to any hill but what all is needed is "THE SELF CONFIDENCE". Trust your instincts and move ahead. 

It was told to us by our college administrators to arrange for the  winter legal internship on our own from December 2014 to January 2015 as a part of degree program. Arrange for law internship! That was enough to blow my mind. I was having no clue what the legal internships are all about. I am in the 4th year of B.Tech LLB course but studying laws are really a difficult task for me and all of a sudden, internship for a month, was really a good way to spoil our winter vacations. 

I never intended to do an internship in winters, it is a time to pack yourself in blankets and enjoy your hot favorite dishes. So to avoid this interruption in my happy life, I found a way. I knew one of my father's friend who is a lawyer, working under him would be the best option to enjoy the vacations at home and getting a certificate to present myself as the hardworking guy to the world. So I conveyed my genius thoughts to my elder sister, I never expected that but how easily she managed to throw my genius thoughts in the bin just by saying to me, "don't waste your life working in a small town . You should search for better opportunities in big cities and make your career". That was the moment I realized what crap I was generating in my mind just to enjoy winters which comes every year or may be to rest at home and enjoy a lavish life with mom's love.

That night was the turning point which made me realize my mistake. I started googling renowned law firms and mark down most of the   opportunities available to my field, now mobility was not at all a question to me. May be because something has hurt my ego in those two lines or may be broaden up my mind, this is a still a question whose answer is not with me for now. I never knew but doing this, a wee search of mine, will shower me an opportunity to travel to 2250 kms away from home.

I was prepared with the list of contact details for the winter law internship. Luckily I got off from the college as the preparation leave for the exams which were scheduled to take place in December. I was hardly left with five days to find for the internship which I was supposed to get started just after the end semester exams. I drafted a cover letter and modified the CV according to the internship. 

Hundreds of question ran into my mind, I can actually differentiate all the three parts of my brain at that moment, that was the nervousness I suppose or the over excitement of sending a mail along with the CV attached with my name to different people whom I don't know. Finally with all my power, needed for the first click acting against my hundreds of questions, I sent the mail. Now second, third, fourth, fifth ....................ty.   It took five minutes to send the first mail but hardly 2 minutes to send it to the list. 

I was so happy, feeling out of the world, for the things which “everyone do”. But sending an application is not enough, reply to that application is the most important. I started checking my mail every day, without getting late by a second to see the level rise in the pool of messages. Finally the wait was over, a single number rise in the inbox, fortunately someone replied. From the long list I managed to get only one reply within three days. Quite disappointed. But that was enough to make me happy that someone is there who actually read my mail. 

The mail was the computer generated copy by the firm thanking the mail they have received and asking me to wait for further information. Now the time was for the miracle to happen. I received a mail from a national law college, my eyes opened as widely as it can be, National Law College, the mail was addressed to me in a very professional manner and subjected as, "Behalf of your E-mail dated 21.11.14 for the internship at ................. this is the acceptance letter issued under the ........................." 

I was not on the ground for that moment, I called my same sister, actually same means I am a proud brother of three sisters, so I called her and told about this and forwarded the mail to her. This was not enough, the next day I went to college and started lullaby to my friends about the acceptance of internship from a dream university of lawyers. I never expected that to happen with me. 

I realized that day, if I would have prepared myself to set back with the same thoughts of reaching to the place which is easily approachable, I would not have enjoyed the ambiance of  a nation level treatment. That moment the only thing coming to my mind was the wallpaper I downloaded few days back and posted on twitter, it was a bird or a butterfly, still could not differentiate, flying to the most beautiful line "take a chance".

This experience is related to my life and I am eagerly waiting to experience more so that I can bring it  to you. Happy blogging and always prepare yourself to take a chance.
