The Journey of a ‘Courier Delivery Boy”

The Journey of a ‘Courier Delivery Boy” 

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." – “Deuteronomy 31:6”

Yes, we all Love changes and changes are inevitable part of our journey. In our life, we find many moments that are beyond our understanding. Questions will be arising, “Why all these are happening?” In most of them we adapt to situation while sometime we take a decision for change.

Till the day of today, I had to make many bold decisions for my education, career and job. As an aspirant writer, I take it just to learn for myself, but there is something that makes me really happy, for I had chosen a tougher way, I have chosen a right way.

In the year of 2006, I was working as courier delivery boy. That was a time when I was in latest phase of my teenage. Unlike my co-workers, I could communicate in English very well. With my strong logical interpretation, tracing new areas was easier for me, thus resulting to higher no. of letters delivered. I had a zeal to success and I wanted it with reaching many hearts and soul.

My boss, being very happy told me that I will be able to earn good if I keep up this job. His word of praise used to give me happiness for a moment, but inner part of me was not happy at all. I used to ask myself, Is this what I have been searching in my life? The answer was strict No. I have longed for success but this was not something I was waiting for. Lots of Money? Hmmm…  may be not. I always knew I want to reach many soul. I also knew this was not the way.

I wanted to start my study again and so I discussed with my family. Person beyond my family suggested me to go gulf/Middle east and earn there as I will be having good opportunities and earning good money in less time. Restarting study will take many years and I haven't passed class 12 yet. Graduation was the most I could think but it may not earn good success. At those time, thinking to do graduation Masters was nowhere in sight.

I had to take this bold decision, whether to continue with my earning or re-start the study. Some suggested me to go for professional work, some suggested me to commerce while doing job, but I was like I want to study science only.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
         Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
         So are My ways higher than your ways
         And My thoughts than your thoughts.”-

“Isaiah 55:8,9, The Holy Bible.”

It was bit of craziness and irresponsible to ignore family conditions just to achieve my personal achievements but life was all of taking strong decision. I did.

In the next two years, I completed my senior secondary exam through National Institute of Open Schooling. There was a option to take engineering. For this my financial condition was not so good and even I wanted to go with Basic Science through 'Mathematics'. People cautioned me, I will reach nowhere through B.Sc. I ignored them. I completed my B.Sc Mathematics. I had appeared for entrance exam of MSc Applied Mathematics in prestigious University of SAARC, i.e. South Asian University, New Delhi. I was selected and I also. I got scholarship to study my M.Sc and I could finish it successfully.

Now while I am working as Lecturer, I know money still lacks here. Quality Life might be far, still I know today I have got the satisfaction to reach young minds and nurture them. Most of all, I have an opportunity to eradicate the weakness of many youth which they find in their life, both within and beyond Mathematics. I have shared my journey story with my students and I believe it has indeed inspired many of them.

And about my family! Yeah, My Parents are happy. They are happy that I took good decision on that time. I am happy and I am able to make others happy. What else I need? All thanks to Almighty who had all planned for me. Glory to be his name.

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
Philippians 3:13

I don't write this post to boost about my achievements. I don't write this to make myself feel proud. But today I write it to inspire and nurture those minds who might be going through similar phase like of me. When you believe in yourself, Just go with your dream, whatever it may be. At the end, you will be happy along with those who longs you to see happy.
