A true roller coaster ride it was. Trust me when I tell you this, it indeed was that, and that too a very big one. So sit with something to eat and let's dive right in.
My journey with Law started in class 9th when I was in Kerala. We'll keep that story for some other time so fast forward to landing in a private college in Jaipur everything was good at the start. I decided that even if I am in a private college, let me do the best of my capabilities and as compared to others. So I did it, participated in extracurriculars and studied hard too. Won the competitions and got above-average marks which I felt is good enough. everything was good, it gave me a feeling of freedom in college ....got friends...enjoyed it a lot....after college scooty ride with a very close friend...she used to take me to some good places to eat...and that's how life was in 1.5 years. After that, we got a news that transfer to Indore is happening and it was confirmed. Life just shattered like the pyramid of card falls. Again going to a new place, starting from scratch, and a lot more stress. Somehow bidding goodbye is and will always be difficult.
Then, came to Indore. Decided to go to one college. Did the process and got to know that if I have to take admission to this college I have to clear 14 BACKLOGS!!!!!!!! Can you even imagine? uff what a day it was. I knew something like this would happen, warned my father also...but he said some 2 or 3 papers would be there and you'll be able to manage it...but was all a waste only. Then? then what, had to give the exams in the leaves of the ongoing end semester exam i.e from 5th semester to 9 semester.
A journey started in the new college with just getting to know people and trying to find team members for moot court competition to go to Army Law College in Mohali, had some people in mind...spoke to them but nobody was really interested. obviously, why will they be with a newcomer? I did my first moot in Jaipur in the second semester and qualified for quarter-finals, do you realize how heartbreaking it'll all be. Anyways, after that Covid hit and then all closed down. In the meantime joined a coaching class and uff what a beautiful experience there. Oh! how can I forget amidst all this my NCC was also going on. Did my B Certificate from Jaipur and C from Indore and that too I did that very religiously, got a Gold medal in CATC camp for Best Poetry Recitation.
Now you realized how the journey was a roller coaster, did college from one state and then shifted to another state, new college, and lots of challenges to face - including 14 backlogs to be covered with ongoing semester exams along with NCC's final year and pressure of getting A grade plus managing coaching and then the journey didn't end there. In my final semester got Covid where I wasn't able to sleep the whole night. The moment I fall asleep I would loose my breath and then would get up immediately. Spoke to college authorities but none helped, for them rules of college were more important than the student's life. Yes, I could have left the exam if I was that much unwell but you see it's the final year and if I leave this my graduation will be delayed for an year thereby meaning that I won't be able to give the judiciary exam in the upcoming attempt. oh! what a night it was before the first exam, took tasbeeh and was reciting Allah hu Akbar so that I would be at peace, won't fall into deep sleep and will not loose my breath and trust me I was at peace only after doing it. Verily in the rememberace of Allah does the heart finds rest. Like that sat in some cabin of campus gave every exam by chewing medicines while writing the exam. Thank fully passed everything and got 76%.
The two most tough moments during this entire 5 year's journey were first to shift from Jaipur and second to write the final exams with covid. But with all the strength that Allah has given I was able to come out of them, now that I look back I realize it was all, each and every moment was necessary for me to go through this otherwise I will never reach such a mental and physical strength that I have right now. Indeed Allah is the Best Planner. Also, I passed Law School with First Division, Alhamdulillah.
Thank you for reading.
