I promise

Last night as I was trying to cram in maximum for the
Costing exam ( which btw sucked !) .
I heard the sound of gentle rain against my window pane , unable to concenterate I stood by
the window .
I wondered what my future has in store for me .
All sort of arbid things came into my mind
(ps : at most wrong times my mind will try to seek answers instead of doing whats required like mugging costing ) .

I thought of the past four years in college , It's highs and lows , All the ppl I meet and their strage ways, All the men I've seen and gradually loathed .
All the things I've learnt admist embarressment and laughter .
Some tough lessons and the growing I had to do .

I remebered the day I entered the portals of MCC i promised myself I will do whatever I felt like learn and freak out but never will I settle for
" The mediocre , never will I allow myself to perform averagely "
Thats the worst thing to do...... settle for mediocre . It's unpardonable .

I made several more promises last night as it rained .......

I promise to take things in my stride ,
never losing hope or letting my goal go out of sight ,
I promise never to let emotions come way of reasonable thinking ,
I promise never to let anyone or anything come between my dreams and me ,
I promise never to break another boy's heart ( I do feel guilty *sometimes*) .
I promise never to give up until I reach trhe mountain top
and never to let anything other than the top distract me .
I promise tha no matter where life takes me I will never forget
the small things in life
to smell the earth after a rain, to smile when I see the sunset ,
To argue with Nainamma about short tops and boys ,
to thank god for each passing day .

I promise never to give up ,
I promise to never let the child in me die ,
I promise never to loose that sense of wonderment ,
nor feel too big in front of the ocean
I promise to remain the crazy individual I am ......
I promise never to settle for mediocre

( I also promised never to study last minute but that's something I say after every exam )
