2017 for me and my family started on the train to Tirupati. Our destination
was the 104the Indian Science Congress, where My Mom, my sister and I were
supposed to present papers in our respective subjects. Well, my dad was the
only one who was there for nothing; not just for nothing but to take pictures
of us presenting papers. Though, the first half of the year went quite well for
me, there were several bumps on the road that made me question a lot of things.
Well, the first month of the year began on the train to Tirupati. We
did enjoy a lot. Besides the terrible food at the Indian Science Congress, we
had the times of our life, visiting Temples, historical places. While returning,
we stayed in Chennai for three days and then went to Kolkata. We stayed in
Kolkata for two days and finally returned home.

The rest of the months went by with loads of assignments and studies.
I started taking driving lessons from 3 am to 7 am and finally my mom bought a car; Renault Kwid, and sold off our Jeep. During the summers, I had to take up an internship at Oil
India Limited. It was horrible and I have no words to describe it. There were
only two visits to sites and the rest summer was all spent in the geology
section.
Then came July, the worst month of the year, when I read the news
of Chester Bennington’s death. The person, whose voice has helped me, though many
dark times, was gone. My day starts with Linkin Park and ends with it too. My
dream to hear him live on stage was shattered. I still wish I could see him one
last time.
The month of August too was packed with one tough fight. I had to
prepare for my driving test. It included waking up at 3 am and driving till 6
or 7 am and then getting ready for class.
Finally, I got my driving license at the end of September. Though I’m
a terrible driver, but I’m learning. Then there were preparation for
placements.
Then came the Puja vacations and diwali. We had a nice family
outing to Roing, Arunachal Pradesh. My resolution to lose weight and begin a
healthy lifestyle too started during this period. I start practicing Yoga and
cardio exercises.

By the end of the month of October, I started to write blogs. I
used to write diaries and poems as a kid. One day I came upon a site stating
about blogs (I don’t remember the sites name), so I thought, maybe I should start
writing one, and here I am.
By the month of December I had finished by course work project and
I was finally able to be a better driver. After all, practice makes a woman
perfect. I finally decided to start my year by being head strong in pursuing my
dreams, what I want to be in my life and not what my parents want me to be. This
is my New Year resolution
