Peace At Last!! (An out of world experience)

Time stops for no one and i guess i ain't so lucky that life would make an exception for me. Its just like that college started yesterday and now the time is such that i am making plans and taking decisions as to what i would do next. It was a tough call between taking admission in an MBA college or joining my father's business. But in this case i have been lucky. God made the decision for me. He made me falter on the day it mattered and shut the doors to the colleges i desired. It hurt, hurt badly but i guess one only learns when one is hurt. The pain makes one extra perceptive to the circumstances around. Being down and out did a good thing to me. It woke true me up from a deep slumber.
When i entered college i valued learning from experience. The pleasure to do things with my own hands gave me immense pleasure. But as the college progressed things changed. The lack of resources on one hand and my own want to give 'it' a break for some time, put my earlier self to sleep. But a bad luck with the MBA entrance exams was the gun shot which broke the sleep.
But i guess it would have been better had i allowed my person to remain asleep. Its waking up to the real world which ain't the world when it slept. When my true person decided to take a break, it was at its peak. One shot and it entered one of the coveted colleges. Another shot and it scored a 90 in boards. It slept satisfied of what it had done assured that the other me would take care of the rest. But i guess my person was wrong. Life wasn't easy in college. Thrown in with a different set of people than those i had became accustomed to over a period of 6-7 years and then asked to build a life around it wasn't easy. After making these adjustments facing the first pangs of love and then being spurned for someone else wasn't easy on poor me. Life twisted and turned sooner than ever experienced before. So i wished my better person to sleep as long as possible, keeping it away from the changed scenario. To prolong the period i even tried getting into an MBA college though there were interludes when the sleeping giant grunted and advised against it. Once it even pleaded that it would kill him if i continue on the chosen path but i ignored him. I thought i knew better than 'it' and am doing the right thing. But as it goes every man has to live upto his own destiny. As it goes the winds of change started to blow. The true me, the man who wanted to be a true engineer not one of the namesakes churned out by nsit, at first started to shift, opening an eye at a time, creating unrest in the other me who by now has become accustomed to the easy going life. After nearly a month of uneasiness with my other self trying all the tricks in the book to put to sleep the sleeping giant, an accord has been reached. After rounds and rounds of negotiation the two of them for the complete me have decided to live peacefully side by side. The worldly wise other me has bought to the table its invaluable experience of seeing life from different angles while the true me has agreed to bring back the vigour, the love for work, the dogged determination which put the complete me in college in the first place. The true me has put in the contract a clause which states that if i really wish to learn now, i have to get in the ring known as world. To be satisfied for the rest of my life, i have to take all the punches on the chin advises my true self. On the other hand the other self has made it mandatory to enjoy the events of life. It has vetoed against going back to the earlier grumpy self and has threatened to kill the true self this time around if its advices are ignored.
I cannot express how it feels to be at peace with oneself. While my friends still grope in the dark with a lucky few getting hold of the candle just now, i am lucky to have seen the light. I know its a tough road, the journey is to be full of surprises and shocks, but i atleast have found peace.
