My days at Ignou

The sweet journey of mine for three long years at Ignou, where I enrolled for my English honours course, gave me another opportunity to experience life anew. Having spent three long years with formal education I somewhat learnt to consider life from a different point of view. There has been a long gap between my graduations from City College with the one that I had decided to do from an open university in 2017. I truly felt privileged when I again had the chance to get myself associated with education in a serious manner. One of the best memories that I have in Ignou is having the opportunity to appear for examination just like I did during my school and college days. The examination days invoked the memories of my childhood, I felt really happy when after finishing my examinations I went for home thinking of the next examination. Life was not perfect for me when I decided to appear for the course at the Open University, there had been lots of difficulties that I had to go through back in that time. However, amid all these odds; the thought in my mind to be able to study again, rendered me with immense relief and joy.  

The pressure to submit the assignments on time; doing the registration within the due date every little efforts of mine endowed me with the pleasure to see life from a different perception. There was a sheer presence of hope in me whenever I accomplished any lesson or successfully passed the examinations. Now when I finally reached at the verge of accomplishing the degree and I am just left with one subject to complete my honours degree in English it brings about an unknown sorrow in my mind. I am not fully aware of this gloominess that is gradually spreading over the horizon of mind; perhaps the thought of not having any more opportunity to engage myself in study for a definite purpose is the exact reason that begets all the disdain in me.  

Now, when I sit with my old text book of English honours, I just rewind to the time where I began the journey. Those days are absolutely explicit in my mind; I often cherish my memories by recalling every incident that I had at Ignou. Life indeed gave another opportunity to live life afresh, I got new friends, and I earned inexplicable experience which I believe would definitely help me to move forward in life. I hope to experience those days once again and this time may be with a new goal and a resolution in mind. Our life is truly beautiful only when we know how to derive rapture and pleasure from our daily life and assignments.
