Transition-Progression!

Every day you wake up to something new. The day is afresh, your mind clear of things of yesterdays past, ready to take things ahead with a stride.

Today was one such day. The chilly Post December winds lashed my body. A muffler and a cap, I walked down one of the city's busiest roads. Perturbed by my emotions, ranked by my peers- I had never been more disturbed. A meager 60 days remained until the final sword of the 12th Grade Rote slashed at me. This was one time I would bet against my surreal optimism. 

A few years ago, I had my mind set on the Premier Technological Institute of the Nation- the IIT. Back Hunched and Skin Paled I worked meticulously for the final two years of my schooling to get that firm foundation of "knowledge" everyone talked about. 

Rewarded by 'Nerd Brownie Points', smug and arrogant, I walked the halls of my Pre-University days like a devil reeling his bait. Passion turned to Pressure, as days counted down, and my jolly o'l first fist in air, turned into a swaggering shell of nothingness. Before I knew it, the wind was lashing me hard and fear was lashing me harder. 

A fiery Red Building, age old in stance, futuristic in delivery crossed my chilly tread. I stopped to search for a by-pass. A little devil popped up in my head. Why had I not considered it earlier? 

My oration was far superior to anyone I had conversed with. My literary skills, stronger than the books that sold millions. Had I been trapped by the Indian Customary “Engineer Son" bracket?

Over the next few weeks, the thought probed my mind. The end was nearing, and I had to make the choice. 

Bold, yet timid I faced up to the task. Words were exchanged, queers were discharged. I was going to be held liable for my 'rarest of the rare' act. I had to ensure, I would not fail in the process.

Time swept by. I spent the last few Cramming up IIT hour's with legal material to climb my own Uphill road. 

Learning, how Chemicals were formed was replaced by learning how they could be protected.  

Rationales of Physical Science were unbound by the Legality engulfing them. 

Numbers no longer made up for everything I knew. 

I was running a race. A race I entered a few laps late. A race I knew, I had to win!

Every day you wake up to something new. The day is afresh, your mind clear of things of yesterdays past, ready to take things ahead with a stride.

Today was one such day. The Clear blue summer sky smiled down upon me. The gleaming black advocate's gown picked up with the wind funneling through the sun scoops on my Convertible. Tranquil-ed by my emotions, ranked above my peers, the sense of Transition gripped me hard. I took a moment to grasp it all. For it was this, that put me here.

Today, I had TRASNFORMED. Today, I had PROGRESSED!
