Is this a dream? Is it really true? Yes, it is. Even if I sit down with a dictionary, I wouldn't be able to find the words that describe these feelings! Happy? Joyful? Grateful? Overwhelmed? It's more than that!
Performing at IIT Roorkee will always be special for me, for a lot, a lot of reasons. I have always believed that 'firsts are special.' Even though life gives you more and more opportunities to relive moments and witness beautiful stories, but these firsts are so pure because you have no idea what to expect. IIT Roorkee was my first college performance! The 17-year-old me would never have believed that she would one day be called as a guest performer. She did know that life holds beautiful opportunities for her, but oh God, to be here, what a surreal feeling.
Here's another reason why this is so special to me. In school, I was always someone who loved being on stage. But in college, neither during my bachelor's nor now, in my master's, have I joined any literary society. Maybe because I had a lot of self-doubt. Doubts like maybe I would never fit in here, or maybe I haven't read enough. But in my heart, I always knew that there's a life beyond these four walls of college, and I am going to do everything out there! Attending this event of the literary club, performing there, and spending time with these talented people felt like a full circle in my life.
The energy of people, the moment when you witness your art creating magic, the moment when you listen to these beautiful artists, that is such an overwhelming feeling for me!
From meeting
@tee_.writes &
@somu_momu to having dinner with these people, and also the moment when the kindest audience came after the event and shared how they felt, everything felt like a dream! Also, the fact that I love giving flowers but rarely receive them, and when I do, it feels so special.
I am so inspired by the spirit that the people of
@kshitij_iitr hold! Thank you for making it so wholesome for us, I will always remember this day!:')
