One HELL OF A MAD LIFE!

Well, yes, when people call you MAD in the college, you should know that you have definitely made THAT difference!

A tale of another MADster who got to Making A Difference with a grit! J

When you are 19, you have just entered some grad school. And you have those dreams of achieving success… Being a role model to people… And to prove to the people around you (sometimes your neighbour) that you have it in you to reach the pinnacle.

You know that you want to do something so great that people will quote your examples! “Yes! Bhagyashree did what she had set out to do! She has made us proud. You should learn something from her!” Oh, wow! Wish I would be fortunate enough that my neighbour (they are quite botheration at times like these) would tell this to their sons and daughters.

I definitely wanted to do something awesome with my life! Fly out and reach to the heights which I could have only imagined.

But when you change your faculty from Law to Engineering, there’s little you can do. How can a person who had dreamt of bringing a revolution in the Indian Judiciary system, suddenly bring that revolt in a system as static as a computer!

Moving on.

Exactly the above stated happened with me! The initial one year was one of the most difficult one of my life… If you have watched those “Telebrands” advertisements they show on TV. You can relate me to them very precisely! :D

When I was thinking about all the wonders I wanted to cause, a wonder happened to me.

I got “poked” by MAD!

It was the most thrilling experience I have had in the twenty years of my life! Yes guys, I could actually MAKE A DIFFERENCE in someone’s life. Suddenly I started to realize there was a huge bunch of kids who needed me! Those kids who saw me as the ray of their hopes. I had brought around a whole new definition to their lives. I was their role model. And this revolution though a very tiny one, will shape a whole new era. I had a bunch of small kids, whose ideas I could mold. I could give a new shape altogether. I could take them on a wondrous journey of education and enlightenment. A time when there wouldn’t be any gap in the society because of education! Or ideas!

And what did I get in return? A lot! I got the best lessons of life from my time at MAD. There is so much these little kids can teach you in the passing. Adding the verve, the spice and an awfully infectious amounts of excitement!

Suddenly you get to thinking for the betterment of the kids. Every movement around you will only instigate you to think, “How can I use this in my class?” That creative part of the brain which had only been hibernating, wakes up to the calls of the needy.

After two years in MAD, I think I have turned into the needy one! In constant desperation for the love and attention the kids give you!

Imagine this, when you walk in that door of the center, and one child notices you, he veers everybody else’s attention to you.. And suddenly you are in the mid of a stampede!

When that happens, your heart will give you knock, and say, “Way to go girl! You have Made A Difference!”

And today, when I walk in my college, people will only say, “Hi MAD!” What more can I do but grin and acknowledge the greeting with satisfaction! :D
