Chapter 7: When Home

-
After 6 years of hostel life, these days I’m craving home badly. I wish I could stay a little longer at home, but dreams and responsibilities are calling from the other side.

Now, when I’m home, I feel like… studies, job, life directions, marriage — as a woman, when I rest at home for a little while, all these thoughts start surrounding me.

Chapter:3 Immaturity Unmasked

-

               23/10/24, Wednesday, I felt very stressed because, last night there was a small misunderstanding with my favorite cousin. She is always special to me because she was part of a very important and special day in my life. That was the happiest day in my entire life, and at the same time, it makes me equally sad now, because that day will never come back again. If God blesses me with a gift to relive one day in my life, I’ll ask Him for that one day, and that was the first day I met my cousin. I was studying in 4th standard at that time, and she was studying in class three. After that, we didn’t have contact for many years.

Every Sunday, I used to meet her in the church, and sometimes we used to hang out. Last night, we had a late-night conversation. She was upset with me because of her clingy ...

Walking alone to church, sitting there in silence, and praying without the comfort of a familiar circle around me. There’s a special peace in those quiet moments, just me and my thoughts. I love walking alone to my dance class, especially across the bridge that connects East and West Tambaram. Traveling alone by train to Chrompet, buying my own ticket, crossing the busy signal in front of MCC—all of it makes me feel independent and strong. And there's a unique happiness in helping elderly people carry their heavy bags on the train or guiding them to the right bus. These little moments bring a quiet sense of fulfillment.

Chapter:1 JOY AND PLEASURE

-
                                          JOY AND PLEASURE 21.10.24, Monday, first hour: it was Professor Samuel Rufus Sir’s class. I was late. I knew Sir would not be happy if I was late. I was confused about whether to stay out, join the next class, and miss the inspiration, or to get scolded by him and attend the class to receive the valuable motivation and inspiration that no other staff gives. I was aware that if I attended his class, I would get something better personally, so I chose to endure the scolding and seize the treasure of inspiration. As I guessed, he was unhappy with my late entry, but he was kind enough to let me sit inside the class. He was teaching the poem "The World" by Henry Vaughan, and the class was really interesting. During this class, he talked about the difference between "JOY" and "PLEASURE," which opened my mind’s eye. He explained that "PLEASURE...
