My First Pay Cheque !!

"Mom !! Dad !! I got my first cheque !!" 

"Yeppie !! I got my first pay cheque, Its party time !!"

Some of the gestures that would have taken you to the flashback, the moment you would have read the title !!

Yes, I can too surely connect to it... MY FIRST PAY CHEQUE...!! Its an awesome feeling that places you right on the top of the world !! Whatever the amount be, what matters is the hard work that paid handsomely!!

At a tender age of  17 when I decided to take up a part time assignment to earn some pocket money for myself, I was quite apprehensive. It was a promotional activity of a product that involved standing under the scorching sun, trying to speak to the people, informing them about the services. As the days passed, I came to realize that the task was way tougher than I thought it would be.

A typical day of mine used to look like this:

1. Get up at 6am in the morning !! 

2. Go to College !!

3. Post college rush to work - slog my ass out the evening !!

4. Walk back home !!

5. Again leave for tuition classes !!

Everyday seem tougher than the previous one !! Many times I asked myself why I need to do so much of hard work !! At times I got scared that is this how the life would be after college?

But, then I smiled and decided to learn as much as I could !!

Days kept passing.. Experienced few difficult moments, few funny moments, learning moments and many more. At last the day came for which I was waiting anxiously -  The "30th DAY" of the Month - "MY FIRST PAY CHEQUE DAY !!"

Tears rolled out of my eyes when I took the cheque and studied the amount written over it !! I realized how hard people work for, which we often spent in one go !!

Its been years since that incident happened. I completed my graduation & post graduation as well. I started working, earning and making my cheques look even better. However, nothing can replace the excitement & the charm of the feeling which I shared with my "FIRST PAY CHEQUE !!"

I know those of you who are already earning would cherish this feeling & who are gonna start earning would very soon experience this beautiful feeling !! ALL THE BEST
