Gratitude letters

Gratitude letters!
Never heard them? Try them out!
            Gratitude is like thanks giving! When you are thankful for something that your dad got for you, what do you say?
Thank you!
When a friend does something for you, what do you say?
            Thank you!
            But what if you are have been with the person for a long time and there is a lot to thank for? What do you say?
Say thank you man! This is what gratitude letters are about! Make a list of people
who you are grateful to. Write thank you letters to them and pour your heart out. Tell them all what you feel about them and see how you feel?
You will feel so so so light! And your relationship will also grow stronger! Try it and see the difference.
                  I am saying this from experience. The picture below are letters I wrote to my college mates thanking them for being part of my life and making it so beautiful. It is truly an inexplicable experience.


You can also mail me your experiences at ashini17mehta@gmail.com.

College-A chapter in the book of my life

3 years back I was thinking, college will be like this, college will be like that. After that, college started and it wasn’t what I wanted it to be. It was so different! I took time in finding good friends. I wanted to explore and learn a lot, so I joined the Entrepreneurship development cell of the college. It was one hell of an experience. Business inspiration! Meeting new people! Making new friends! Organizing events! Juggling between Ed cell and classes was an experience in itself. C’mon, who doesn’t like bunking class? But because of this I couldn’t bond a lot with friends. But then again I met friends from different departments and that kinda compensated.
            I was just going with the flow in college when suddenly I (like all the 3rd years) realized that a big chapter of life was coming to an end! Things never seemed the same. Last internals! Last class test! Last project! Last ethnic day! Last culturals! Last bazaar! And then came the last day of college! I see 3 years of my life pass by like a wind. It came and before I realized it went away. It seemed like yesterday when I was imagining, thinking, dreaming and wondering how college will be……
            But apart from this I would also like to thank the college for giving so much exposure and learning and friends for teaching the life’s lessons.
            Today was the last day of college and it was one epic day. Bonding is so much fun and that is what we did. Playing games, crying, taking pictures, hugs, goodbyes, keep in touch talks and goodbye letters!

            Every college student would be going through a whirl of emotions at this moment. But everyone also knows that this too shall pass and that they will get busy in building a career, family, etc. This is an experience in itself. Its human nature to feel. So feel sad but also be excited for a new life that is going to come your way! Laugh! Live! Love! Learn! Explore! Fall! Get up! And just go with the flow!
