The First Day of the Rest of My Life

I graduated from IIMC last week, with summa cum laude no less. I say last week because that is when I went back to one of my favorite places in the world, walked up on that stage and received my Diploma. See I actually passed out last April but thanks to the cabinet reshuffle and the fact that ours is a government institution, albeit the best in my field in India, our convocation happened on 15th of January 2013. The experience was bitter sweet at best. Heartbreaking at worst. I have worked for 6 months, quit my job, sat for an international level exam and found myself new job in the time it took for IIMC to organize our convocation, but it was not until later, tonight to be precise, when I started thinking what it actually meant. No I did not have some great epiphany or even a small one for that matter, what I did however find was something much more profound. As I sat there reminiscencing I realized something. My childhood is well and truly behind me...
