Kodaikanal Christian College....the place where i have memories to cherish

Being my first blog, i would like to start up with some beautiful moments that i would cherish forever.
I remember those days when i was in the mist of taking a decision about my career when many advices and comments popped up by my near and dear ones. Being a girl child of a mallu family, i was persuaded to take up science and get into medical field. After my 10th, like most teenagers do, without understanding my interest i took up science. Very soon during my 12th i realised that my desire to become a doctor(people who know me well, please dont laugh) will be in dreams as i was not all that great in science. Then comes the question what next after 12th? After thinking a lot i thot of taking up nursing and continue till MSc Nursing and was all geared up for that no matter what happens. lately, i realised that it was not meant for me either and i dunno how but god put across things for me which i never thot of. After i got my results i saw this prospectus of KCC(Kodaikanal Christian College) and something drove me to go to that college and study.I discussed with my parents and my father being a pastor of a church couldnt afford such a huge amount to spend for my studies.
I must tell u this that when i was a kid and used to see such beautiful places in TV, i used to dream of studying in those places and i also remember of asking god ' will i ever study in such a place'(just like that). i started praying about the finance part and i saw gods grace working in my life. The chairman of the institution offered a 50%scholarship on the fees(whatever fees the students paid for a semester, i used to pay the same for a year) . This was a miracle for me.
Then comes 'the day' of me leaving to kodaikanal. As i climbed those beautiful hills and saw the beauty of nature i was thrilled and started thanking god. I was blessed to see my dream come true though i never thot of it happening in my wildest dreams.
My journey of understanding gods grace started from then. It was a place that made me complete in my personality, gave me wonderful friends who are very close to my heart(these are friends with whom i share a great bond than any other friends), made me spiritually strong and also gave me lot of beautiful experiences. The fun that i had there, havent experienced anywhere else. I got the chance to interact and learn from lot of foreigners, try different kind of cuisines, style, ...etc. Moroever i got the learning to interact with diff status of people. I was a person with stage fear and i remember that day when i had to give a presentation in front of 300+ students and in front of the College Chairman. i had sleepless nights for a long time. God, with his grace helped me to give a fantastic presentation which helped me to groom myself and now i dont get scared to face a crowd :)
I had both happier and tough times but i dont complain for that coz the life that god gave me in kcc made me a strong package with lot of qualities personally and profesionally.
I can truely say it was a period of testing and refining done by god in my life so that i could come out as a PURE GOLD.

Then comes my next stage of studying further(Post Graduation).....again an experience to share.
I again got a 100% scholarship for my MBA and completed my studies. God proved to be amazing again. My journey to my first job starts from here......which i will share in my next blog.

God bless u all :)
