14 May 1986, the day was my birthday. Before I opened my tiny eyes there were already many eyes were watching me. As I opened my eyes with sweet blubber I was introduced me with my family, i.e. my father mother and sister. After 21 days of my birth I was named Sankar because I took birth in Sankranti on Tuesday. As per saying everyone takes birth for a special reason or special purpose, ergo I did. As we know time wheel never stops, I also picked up a speed of growing. As I kept growing day by day many dreams came to my mind and were dancing in front of me. Then I asked a question to myself "Is human life just a dream, from which we never really awake? Are we submerged by our feelings, by our loves and hates, by our ideas of good, bad, beautiful, and awful? Are we incapable of knowing beyond those ideas and feelings?" One cannot believe but its true, one day I was piping my eyes near my nana (father), a rough image suddenly appeared before me, I could clearly guess that image and that was Lord Krishna, I scared and closed my eyes. Then I realized and opened my eyes but image was vanished. I felt sorry for the did.
My mother says I was very obedient during my childhood though I cannot remember my days, but my sister was very naughty. That time my sister was severely affected by motion , even there was a time when everyone quit the hope of her alive. But by the blessing of God she recovered soon.
1991, I was 5 years old. My parents were probing a good name for me for my school. (Of course everyone does the same). Then I was named Anuraag (It means love, affection), though the name was very commendable but I didn’t like that because I loved to name me ‘Mithun’ (Because I am a great fan of Mithun Da). Initially I was afraid of going school and making friends. But slowly slowly I enjoyed going school and making friends. I can still remember my first school friend Mohan. I used to go school with him only even I was like a tail of him. During those days I was good in studies and I made many friends. School life is always golden period for everyone, so my too. I was good in sports also. I participated in many sports but running was my favorite sport and I always stood first in that.
After completing my schooling up to 5th standard I had to shift to another school for 6th and 7th. That was also a good experience for me. Soon after completing my ME school, I took admission in High School. I studied very hard and consistently obtained good marks. And in this way I completed my 10th with first division.
This was the time when I had to decide what for I should proceed; many suggested me for Diploma and many for +2. I finally decided for +2 in Science. I studied average in +2 and how ever I passed the exam with 2nd division. I was very upset due my results. Suddenly a first class student goes down to second division was not acceptable to anyone. I was very depressed but no one could do anything. Finally I have to obey the fate’s decision and planned for my future. During that time my college organized entrance test for getting Honors’ subject in graduation. From starting I was a good student of Mathematics even I got money reward in Matriculation for getting 147 out of 150. But many said Physics would be better for honors. So I decided to appear for both entrance for Physics as well as Mathematics. By that time I was preparing for NDA (National Defence Academy) exam in Berhampur. So I was seriously preparing for the exam, and ignoring the graduation period. By the time entrance result announced, I got to know that I stood 1st in Mathematics and 4th in Physics. I could choose either of the subjects, but unfortunately I was not present during counseling i.e. allocation of honors subject. Next day I went to college and requested to my principal, but he refused to listen me and finally I had to continue graduation without honors. Really that was very shameful for me. All my elders and friends were unhappy on my act. Then I decided myself that I should engage somewhere and used to see employment newspaper weekly without fail. After some days I saw an invitation of Indian Navy. I casually appeared the exam and luckily selected for the service. There I m today. Slowly slowly time went on I am completing 7 years of my service this January. When I look back to my life it seems very complicated but was not. My thinking made me complicates to choose a suitable career. Though I was keen of doing a good job in any private sector, but something else is written in my fate. No one can change their fortune. But I am sure after completing these 15 years of service I will definitely go for a job of my own desire. So readers wish me luck.
