The day Feb 12th of 2013 flew by like a dream..time came when we talked about the events to follow. But before that we had reports to file, newsletters articles to write and website to be updated. Beginners we were. It took us the a full 3 month phase before we learnt these facts and many more to update my site(aah!! how much I hate myself when I don't do thing on time). The L-31 report is filed by every chairperson of IEEE Student Branch after organizing an event. Everything seemed so pressing and weight of the responsibilities I took started falling on my shoulder.
We learnt that a pattern is followed to keep a track of all the events in this vast organization of which we were a tiny part, a particular v-tools was being put to use to keep a track of every event in every Student Branch, every Section in the entire network spread across the whole world. This was to be done, we needed to show that we were one among the branches that set trends, and we did, we needed the world to know.
My schedule got busier day by day..I got absorbed in academics...ahem...in the series of tests which required my immediate attention and this task of updating the site got buried under the many pile of files of my memory. As I write there is a sense of satisfaction and regret at the same time. Satisfaction that yes this hasn't slipped off my mind and regret that I took all this time to start doing what was to be done then.
Funny as it may seem it takes a lot of effort to start something before it becomes a part of everyday routine. Just like a kid on the first day of school refusing to take a look at his classroom, to the day when you cant stop them from being enrolled in an IVY league college far far away from home. This very thought hung in my head as I get the news of my sister's acceptance into STANFORD!! I know it must be a dream come true. Every time we had chat i always heard her say you just have to start and you will know how much potential is hidden inside.

Another lesson learnt from my sister, first step towards success is the step itself. Lets see how far this is going to take me..
