5th July 2014

I don't know why I feel so lazy to write nowadays. May be it's because I'm spending so much of time indulging in other things. Vibha is having her exams now. So I try my best to help her in every subjects. Amma already started pressuring her by saying that 10th board exam marks are kind of a huge thing. But to be frank i find it bland. There's nothing great about scoring 90% above in boards. Boards are nothing but only the beginning of harsh realities of life. When I look back i truly regret for not spending too much time with my friends.

But I also understand ammas dreams for me. She wants to see me as a doctor and i would do anything to make it come true. Last month was my entrance examinations. It went pretty well. But at the same time I'm truly scared. What if i won't make it? Amma had already spend too much for my studies and she has to take care of vibha too. I miss appa so much.

Good night journal.

Guess what? I cracked it. Yes I cracked my entrance and I got admission in one of the topmost medical college in Hyderabad. Deccan college of medical sciences. I can't wait to start my college life. Oh wait, i can't leave behind Amma and vibha too. But I guess i can always make them proud.

Hi journal. My classes are starting tomorrow. I'm kinda nervous. The hostel is fine. I've got roommates. Preethi and Ayesha. They are so sweet. I miss Amma and vibha so much.

23rd October 2014

I don't know if today was real. I met someone. For the first time in my life I felt my knees going weak over a guy. Yes...A guy. I cannot believe that I was having these feelings for someone I met just today and someone i didn't even talk to.

Let me tell you what happened in detail. Preethi and I are were walking outside the class after our first morning session. I liked the campus and everything about it. There was a different postive vibe all over it. Suddenly some guys came out of nowhere and started ragging us. They were our seniors.

"Hey pretty. Can I know your name?"one of them asked.

I was scared so I quickly clutched preethis hand. Preethi is much more bolder than me. So she held my hand and tried to ignore the guys. But they wouldn't leave us.

"Leave her hand. We're not talking to you. We just want her. Remember we're seniors. So just leave her hand and go"one of them said to Preethi.

"I remember reading in the instructions that ragging is strictly prohibited in the premises. So you asses, better clear our way before we file a complaint against you"Preethi said boldly. My heart started pounding in fear.

"How dare you talk to us like this?"one of them roared in anger and held preethis hand. She tried to slap him but another one held her from behind and took her away. I tried to stop them but the guy who stood in front of me, held my hand so tight. I have those handprints in my wrist.

"Please leave her sir. I beg you"I pleaded

"Oh poor you. This is just a starting lesson dear. You shouldn't be this sensitive. You're gonna be a doctor in five years. So you gotta be bold. I can teach you some self defence in private. What do you say?"he asked and laughed, followed by others. I was hurt but I tried my best to take my hand off.

"Let go please"I said.

"Keep trying sweetheart. If you succeed I'll give you a kiss"he said. I was angry as hell and i was worried about Preethi. So I did something in reflex. I punched the guy in his nose.
