I did Flip the Page

They Say, "Your destiny may not always be what you dreamt of".

I've always struggled to accept that, Maybe because I've been stubborn believer in stoicism, In the idea that a person can write his own destiny with discipline, Intent & Relentless efforts.

But then comes the inevitable question,

"If I believed that so deeply then why wasn't I able to Destine Myself to NLS/NALSAR Or any top 5 for that matter?

Why did I make peace with CNLU Patna?

Answer sits in blurred multifaceted dilemmas of efforts, Distractions, fate & Fairness.

Some answers I do know infact but they are really hard to accept,

Some are burried deeper in the question of fate and fairness

I may never fully know that was it the ink that spilled writing my destiny or it was the pen that dried out at the wrong moment.

But atleast I realised that life isn't a page but a book and now I have flipped the page again from CLAT (1126) to AILET (674) to CBSE Boards (90.8%)

It took me time to realise it's always reading the book even after the page doesn't turn out the way you imagined.
