LOG 40: optimum speed for lift-off

End of School. Something every kid dreams of, to be done with the entire school routine, for once and for all. But (not so) surprisingly, this wasn’t something that I was particularly enthusiastic about. In the last repetition of my final year of school, I had seemed to grow even closer to my school than I could have previously ever imagined. It could have been because of the team effort that was being put in into my, or rather our, cause by the entire school.

LOG 43: Congratulations

Gosh! Can you believe it? Three years. It has almost been three years. If you ask me, it doesn’t nearly feel like it has been that long. It would be no lie if I say that everything about the past three years has come as a very big cascade of surprises to me, much like a cascade of dominoes except that things seemed to be standing up instead of falling down… like dominoes in reverse. From Day 1, nothing about my episode was a planned event. In fact, we didn’t even know that anything remotely this life-altering was about to…
