The First Stint

Hello! Welcome my blog.

While I start afresh, I gave a thought to the words first time, & its importance in our lives. Isn't the first time always special? Our first love, first car, first job, and first flight - we remember every bit of it, no matter how many decades have passed. From our childhood to our old age, we come across many such 'first times'. Below are a few first times in our lives that we never forget.

First Prize

Remember the inter-school competition back in school, where you won the first prize for the first time. Be it music, dance, sports, elocution, the prominence of the prize is priceless. You suddenly start getting lots of praises your way. Your school mates congratulate you, your friends merrily tease you, and your teachers tell you how proud they are of you – Good feeling eh? You’ll feel good about it even today, when people recall this long lost memory of yours.

First Crush

That ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ moment when you start liking someone - The girl/guy at your bus stop, the new joinee in your class, or that distant relative you met at a party. You blush at their sight and fumble when you talk to them, but you won’t miss a chance to catch their glimpse, even if it is for a few seconds. And while you read this, a name crossed your mind- Yes, that’s the one, your first crush J

First Day at College

Dressed in your best attire you attend college on the first day. Every class has an ‘Introduce yourself’ by your lecturers, you meet new people from different schools, & even different parts of the city as you progress in college, and also a bit of ragging from seniors (not literally). You still feel like a bird set free. No Uniform being the best part of it, & there is something about this day that you’ll never forget.

First Love

‘I fell in love with her eyes’, he said.  ‘I fell in love with his voice’, she said.
Love is one of the most profound emotions that human’s exhibit, and there is something intriguing about your first love that you can never forget. It can be the way they talk, their appearance or maybe just the way they make you feel. Even if you not together few years down the line, you still search for ‘that one thing’ in every person you meet.

I personally feel happy to see couples who have been there with their first love for a decade. It’s like you love them against all odds, go through ups & downs together & then get married – True pursuit of happiness I should say.

First Job

Your first job is a vital step in your life to your future – Not only does it keep your pocket full, but it also creates a brand for you. A job into some good organization & your neighbors & relatives go – ‘Arrey, Apna Suresh Engineer ban gaya hai kisi badi company may’. [I picked up Engineer because half of our youth are engineers, by degree :D )
While you keep waiting for the joining date, you go shopping for new clothes, new shoes, and accessories for yourself, to get the ‘first impression is the best impression’ look. The first few days of the joining- You meet new people, make friends out of choice and have loads of fun.

For most people, their first job is their best one as it gives them lots of learning, & also an exposure to the real world.

Keeping it short, first times in life are the best times. There are many more first things that you’ll come across in life, which will mean more than this. But for youth, these are the few crucial things that will matter initially, & as the Blog’s name goes- Youthcetera (aimed for the youth), I’ll have many more such posts oriented for the youth.

Hope you’ve enjoyed it.
