I have been waiting to write this for a couple of days but as usual work, life & other commitments kept me pre-occupied... So today I decided to pour it down....
How was your first day in school, college... your first job or anything which is your first experience... Yes this is what I thought I ll capture it to relive whenever I want ...
First day in school - Seriously I dont remember it too well.... All I remember is my first school was right in the middle of a ground under a shed (Today's Playschool in crude form) in Jiagunj (Murshidabad) where we used to get biscuits in break :) ... Other than that its all erased memory.
First results : Once we moved to Kolkata ( then Calcutta) I was into a proper or not so proper school called MILTON DAY school so after the whole term I got my results & I stood second in the class.... So wonderful feeling.. But only to realise that I have to change school since the class strength was only 10 kids :) ... So all the good feeling goes to drain....
First Medal : In my next proper school ( this time I can call it) which was GSS Girls School we had this Annual Sports day in a huge Stadium in Kolkata.... We had practiced for a month in the close by park , the drills, the PT, the marchpast... It was so much fun.. No studies and all of us in the park preparing for it. And finally the D day came. I had taken part in multiple sports competition like Three legged race , Lemon & spoon race & Opening the knot race. I was the first to cross the FINISH line in Opening the Knot race... The feeling was wonderful.. I got a certificate & a Medal and I was wearing that Medal for almost a week ... I was so Happy... I thought I could join gymnastics :) ....
First Date : If I can call it a date then watching the movie Aladin with lot of friends around at the age of 14 yrs.. then yes this was my first date.. But I would prefer to narrate my experience of First date in College : Second year exams over and my Boy friend or Boy as a friend who had come to see me from a different city was suppose to take me out... In the month of May when Delhi is boiling we went to Ansal Plaza.. In my heart I was so scared since I come from a very traditional mindset and was really scared to go out with a Boy whom I had not met for a really long time.... But having a Burger, french fries & coke in Mc Donalds in Ansal Plaza South Delhi and talking about our aspirations in life..,and then he dropping me home in Auto where I m scared that no one should see me with him....Yes this was my first date... Pretty simple and if today someone reads it they might laugh ...
First Stage performance : I performed a bengali fol song "Phoole Phoole Daale Daale " which is about flowers & spring.... I performed when I was just about 6 yrs old in the Annual Function of my first school MILTON DAY in front of 100 or 200 odd number of people. A solo performance drapped in brown & golden Silk saree with flower ornaments.... Yes I felt the an unexplained Happiness... And this is where I guess I started my Dancing journey.. Its my passion to dance.... & I pray to god to let me dance till I live...
First Disc Experience : This one is very interesting... Elevate in Center Stage Mall Noida is suppose to be the most happening Disco Thique In NCR.. And when DJ Shakeel was suppose to come on that day was when I had entered a Disco Thique for the first time... With my friends Anita, Amit & Deepa... It was so much fun . Though it was so crowded that after a point I felt why do we need a Disco.. Our house parties are better... Its so fun fun and we can have our own music and change it the time we want it.. but nevertheless I wont forget this experience we all dressed up to dance.... And at 2 in the night we came back home and stayed back at Deepa's place... And then it was just the beginning of our ( Deepa, Anita & Me) dance & disc fever... We have tried and tested Ice Cube, Chicane, Crown Plaza, etc etc.... And trust me gurls I have had the most amazing time only with U .... Hope we get one more chance of shaking a leg together...
First Interview : All of sudden when I finished college Bcom... the though was what next and dont know with some thing in mind I told my Dad in my best ever conversation ( I call this one a MAN to MAN talk) I wanted to do CA ( Chartered Accountancy) not knowing what are the process or stages of the same.
The very next day my dad had spoken to this Auditors and discussed about my Articleship. For those of you who are not aware, CA course consists of not only Giving and Clearing 6 (Inter) plus 8 (Finals) paper.. but alsoa mandatory 3 years Articleship under a CA wherein you do practically audits & other related activities to gain exposure.... Now that dad had spoken already I had to prepare myself for the interview... With butterflies in my stomach I took those 8 steps and waited with a one page resume of mine where I had just given my Finals Bcom results awaited.... Still I dont know how I got thru but trust me the learning it Never go for interviews unprepared...Once through the next three years just went by in Audits, classes and exams....I completed my Articleship from Lodha& Co New Delhi ... Got great experience learned a lot under my seniors & made some friends for life ... Thank U all...
First Day in College : I rememeber how I waited outside in the bus stand for a friend to join me to enter the college ( JDMC) since I was scared of ragging... After having waited for almost an hr when I call her home landline I knew she is already inside the college... I felt this is it.. I would never get friends like my school mates... and with tears in my eyes I was back home and wishes I never had to go to college again.... But there again as time went by the next three years was again fun.... :)
First pay : Even before I could join a job after some professional qualification, I used to take tutions for 2 kids while I was in college. A girl who was in 3rd Standard for all the subjects and her Brother in 9th Standard for Maths & Science... It was fun & also required a lot of patience but when at the end of the month I used to get that 700 Rs. I think it felt the best.... True now when I look back... Money value has changed so much within the last 10 yrs...
First day at Work : After finishing my CA I got an offer in HCL as a SAP consultant ( My current professions) ..... I shopped to join my first job... New trousers, shirt, Lipstick mascara... And my closest friend dropped me there and wished me luck with flowers... I was very scared to enter the corporate world.. Just didnt know after School, College, CA what kind of people I m gonna meet here in this new phase of life.. But at the same time I knew the time has come to take control of my life and things... and live the way I want it.... And then on now it seems history.... But yes I love HCL and would always treasure my experience there... I think first job is like first love U never forget :)
First Dance : No this is not one of my stage performances, this is something which is very close to my heart... My dance with my husband Gomes...Soft music I just called to say I love you , Candle lit and just US... I dont think I can write it... Its treasured in my heart.. Thank U Gomes for giving me that moment .....
Yes there is a lot more of my FIRSTs... but since this post is already very long... I would write it in my second part.... So think ..... look back and figure out your first experiences ....How was it ????

A very sweet post. While you recounted your firsts, I started to relive mine too. Some wonderful and some very painful. But the thing is, these experiences have shaped me into what I am today. I turned out alright, I think!!:-)
ReplyDeleteMy very first post on my blog reflects some of my firsts of the romantic nature. I suppose you must have read it already
