Gold Smith

I am 30 years old. Due to an OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE ABYSS DISORDER I suffered, my mind is half my age. But I didn't want to stop my education using my disorder as an excuse. Also my FATHER thought that GYAN had a power to eliminate the worst of diseases. It was time for me to enroll myself to an institution that would aid education to special species like me. I left my FATHER to make a choice for me as I trusted in his judgment. After completing the procedures, the D day arrived when I would first step into the PRUDENT INSTITUTION.

While stepping into the institution, I had no idea of the disciplines that were offered for a course and neither did I knew my major subjects. The moment I stepped in all I saw was a library. There were no teachers, no classrooms, not even fellow students around me to discuss with. Added to all this, there wasn't even a degree I would be certified with at the time of leaving the institution. All that was there in the institution was a light-house within the library that always flashed light on the book I must read and an audio-visual interface to discuss any doubts/clarifications I may have on the books that were on the light house radar.

I went home to my FATHER that evening disturbed and had a long argument with him as to why I couldn't go to schools like other friends of mine where there was soo much fun, colors, philandering romance, sports, outings etc, essentially covering all the ZING things of life. My FATHER had a smile on his face and asked me what mattered most to me? A piece of paper that certifies me as a professional for having ZING things for 5 long years without even having a grasp to handle challenges life bestows us with or an INSTITUTION that grooms a human into a stronger individual that can handle LIFE with all its attributes. I still trusted my FATHER and went to bed with no further questions.

The next day I stepped into my institution and walked up to the book that the light house pointed. It read "Choices to make in Life". I opened the first page and found myself totally absorbed in it. I used the audio-visual aids to learn all about "Choices to make in life" and how important it becomes for our growth. I didn't feel like going home that evening and stayed back for a special hour (like a special class :-) ) to learn about the attributes, factors we need to consider to make the best choices in life. I went back home nostalgic about the Gyan-room. The influence of the Gyan-room was soo much on me that I kept retrospecting the remaining part of the day through the night on the essential GYAN I had derived. It was inspiring and fuelled me to strive for excellence.

Days passed and the lighthouse pointed at various books that dealt with "Righteousness", " Restraint ", " Confidence ", " Precision ", " Completeness ", " Assertiveness ", "Duty", " Detachment " , " Commitment " , " Strength of Character", " Simplicity " , " Rationale ", " Sense of direction " , "Focus" , " Honesty " , " Integrity " , " Absolute truth" and the subjects list went endless. It's been 5 years in this institution and I am still going strong. I didn't care for any degrees or certificates any longer since being associated with as esteemed and noble institution of this stature was more important than a piece of paper that would get dissolved in a RAINFALL. All I wanted for the rest of my life to remain an honest student of this institution.

I took a day off from the institution to go for my routine check. My DOCTOR was surprised to see my disorder cured magically. I had grown to my age finally :-). I kissed my FATHER's forehead for his guidance and judgment to enroll me to an institution that filled in the ABYSS of 10 years in my life. I stood amidst my friends, family and the entire world strong, shining and pure as a diamond. I had developed the immunity to the diseases in this mortal world and moved on hale and healthy.

I would like to extend my token of gratitude to the Institution of Gyan for bestowing me with all the ingredients to move strongly in life...for refurbishing the lost confidence in me...for being that Gold Smith who ensured I came out of the FIRE as a fine piece of JEWELRY than a burnt metal...

No more to my Pen...
