I have always had feelers from many persons that many a times the hard work they do unidirectional goes to a waste for it has not given them good results .

In my own life i have felt that no work whether done in the right direction or wrong goes as a waste . It always gets registered in the blackboard of Time and yields results at some point of time in life .

I will again quote my own life experience . I had affinity for languages at a very early stage in life . I was always crazy for excelling in languages and hence i used to practice Hindi diligently at home . I use to write pages after pages and practice the subject quite hard . I used to write a diary in the night before going to bed . I had given myself a pen name Stella Waugh as i had a fancy for Australian Cricketer Steve Waugh .

In that diary i used to pen down my day’s experiences and my doings throughout the day . In a way i had developed a passion for writing both languages . Though as a growing up individual i was not very good at communication English but slowly but unconsciously I developed a passion for writing .

My thought process got structured and i became focused in writing . The immediate result was I got one point or 90 marks in Hindi an unachievable step 40 years back that to in ICSE board . I got good grades in English too . At that time i was only penning few poems in English and Hindi but slowly and steadily I didn’t realize when it got converted into a passion for writing .

Today i have many books to my credit .

It is the result of that small hard work which went a long way . Though i never took up Hindi in my later years of studies and i am a science masters but my practice went a long way .

Same is for Sanskrit a language for which i had inherent fascination . All has helped me in building my vocabulary and helping me to write .

So just persevere , every act is getting registered in the black board of time . The Harvest would be reaped at the right time .
