Lights out Alice!
As you would have already gathered, I am the kind of person who is foolishly ignorant of how lucky I am to have met with the kind of awesome people who were a part of ESI over the years. I had a strong presence in the competition for over 4 years (* who am I kidding, I used to breathe ESI), and because of my role, I had up close and personal interaction with a lot of people who were really good, scratch that, great at what they did while being truly humble about it.
I am grateful for Soumya, the head of the event at Enduro Student India or Baja Student India as it was called back when I met him, for showing faith in me, giving me the opportunity to prove myself, having patience with me (I cannot stress this enough), and moulding me into what I am today. I have learnt a lot, a real lot from him and he will always be my mentor.
I am grateful for the friends I made from the competition; although I am a lousy friend in specific and person in general; they took me in as one of their own and never did they make me feel like an outsider. Sachin, Somy and Deepak aka the Scolarian crew always turned up with a smile and worked their backs off at the competition. The calmness about which they went on their jobs was eclipsed only by their relaxed and helpful attitude at all times, be it 6 am in the morning or 11 pm at night. They were always there for us, for the competition, for me.
All the others I met through the years, a list too long to write and in fear that I will miss someone out, were all an integral part in moulding me. Although I have not yet reached my final form or have left behind all my sinister habits, I am a better person than I was 5 years ago and I owe to all to them (after my parents of course).
Hope I can keep getting better and one day rid myself of all vices that keep ailing me while forever respecting the people around me.
May you always look to do better in life Alice!
