Today I visited my dad’s hometown. Under the scorching heat we decided to pamper the thought of having an ice-cream. We headed the nearest ice-cream shop. Uncle James served us three Choco bars . Uncle James my father’s school mate is into this business for a long time now. Daddy introduced him to us as his schoolmate.

My speedy mind started its work , I started thinking if my father were into this business I wouldn’t have been educated in a megacity , wouldn’t have had exposure to a life outside Kerala , wouldn’t have been able to understand the cultural diversity and wouldn’t have  had a chance to visit various states in India including Assam, Gujarat , Mumbai .

A CHANCE was granted to Agnes in her life through her dad’s occupation to be exceptionally brought up in an extraordinary standard of living.

Thanks to CHANCES.  In our case we are talking about lifetime chances. my father made it to find a job outside Kerala , his friend rather couldn’t or say I am glad I wasn’t his daughter . {If asked now}

All that we are, all that we want to be the supreme above is in control and role. I am so grateful to the almighty, through this chance gifted to my father, in so many ways compared to Uncle James’ lifestyle I count myself blessed.

I don’t want to marginalize anyone, I don’t want to discriminate anyone, I just want to state the CHOSEN ones.

Uncle James is leading a contented life , we are glad having heard that. My interaction with him is a reminder that I am so blessed, so this article is in remembrance of this reminder daddy [our eternal almighty]!

Thank you once again! 

Unexpected Beginnings of Yesterday

Nick ranted red fm 93.5  BAJATE RAHO ! when i asked him how much did he score in 3rd grade  examinations as i was a newcomer in the school and he was the topper of our class . The then misfortune was being asked by the teacher to be seated along with him . I  disliked him completely as a student of 3rd -B if i would be asked the reasons he was wrong in many ways as a child i found his acts annoying . So that is nick the intolerable guy who today is not the then Nick anymore .  I wrote a sarcastic poem on  him in my tenth grade , we never agreed on anything but the school days ending year 2010-11 , and most nostalgic 10th -c made us bid goodbye  on a positive note .  Reminiscing the school class photographs i came across his photo too , it is then i thought of contacting him . I contacted him ,  exchanged a few contradictory conversations as usual but greeted after a length of so many years so it felt good. There was a change in him , he had a different feel towards life and people. I  and my yet another close friend Norah felt the same . Norah and i were extremely close buddies during school days , and  yes we still are ! we hated him equally during school days , but yes now things have changed now we have healthy and sound conversations. I apparently had started my new blog on Norah's b'day and i shared this happy news with all my near and dear ones . It was this special moment when i received a call from this intolerable Nick who overwhelmed me with his response on my new blog . That day's talk really boosted me in high spirits to write more and more and not stagnate at all .  And to keep up the creativity and keep moving in my directions ! actively  motivating me and making me realize that the blog is a good start . Today Norah , Nick and i are in talking terms completely  . We have even more good times  and talks to come i believe . 
#PEOPLE IN THE FORM OF BLESSINGS 

Stella , a girl who is not at all deprived of voice . I met her in my school grade 4th . First impression : why doesn't she talk ?
as years passed we were shifted in different classes , finally in 9th grade she was in my class or say i was in her class . Same bench allotted by the teacher ,so no escape she has to talk to me now .  I was determined to make her my friend and she was not thinking anything neither to make or not make friendship . I  had this wish although , everyday i would talk to her , sometimes we had projects to be discussed , sometimes we had endless doubts about each other  which we shared only with our facial expressions , sometimes i would sing and she would patiently listen me singing . Getting a personal smartphone in the 9th grade could spoil our study life[AS OUR PARENTS SAY ] so we managed with 'DABBA' phones basically which only had the facilties of SMS , a phone call and some basic requirements . we bonded over each other time . But in reality we were just bearing each other . My parents were planning to shift me in a different school , this bothered her . We had gtalk conversations as we both explored the internet at the same time always COINCIDENTALLY.  So now it was participation from both sides not me alone but she started giving me TIME and her MIND . We were having a heated discussion on how we misunderstand each other one particular day and she ended with this line: AGNES YOU THINK I AM HARDHEARTED ? and she paused  and expressed herself as sobbing . I was not worried that day at all , because that day i came to know that she started valuing  my words. Maybe a little earlier but i CAME TO KNOW THEN !
MUSIC : one thing that was common among us , as  it is rightly said art has no language , music is also an art which made us express each other to a greater extent making both of us familiar to each other . Bringing us closer and then we had birthdays celebrated together, all feelings one would share as close friends to cut a long story short . WE MADE FRIENDSHIP AND THAT MADE US . It defines us at the same time a poem i wrote about her . I left the school in 10th grade , she didn't . I left the city i previously lived in  but she didn't, but the MIRACLE is i found a wish fulfilled of making her my friend and at the same time we have become unexpectedly the closest pals now . SURELY FEW +RELATION +IN+ EARTH +NEVER +DIE =FRIENDS ! 




I never expected  in my life that i would be able to contact nick , but one phone number made me give it a chance , and i never expected i would be so deeply connected to stella but today i say her : "our souls are connected " . i was sure of a friendship but not with an endurance for a lifetime to come . thanks to EXPERIENCES of my life , or if i say unexpected experiences !
these two people replaced my shallow thoughts regarding them with BLESSINGS, today i am glad i have them  CHEERS! GUDDAY!  


The reason why i have made you read the story of two crazy heads  IN MY LIFE is  to let u know , i had let out the unexpected to happen . Bluntly saying we always like the expected to happen , the expectations to rise and be fulfilled , but the unexpected also stays as a surprise and  amazes us. don't always allow your life to be tamed by the mazes of EXPECTATIONS . Allow the UNEXPECTED to enter your life and see how you discover the miracles and richness of your life . 


THANKS FOR READING 
ALWAYS ,
AGNES
