When my name was announced on the stage held before about two thousand people sitting in a beautiful very large glittering white canopy tightened in lush grassy place. The chilly noon made me shivering or calling my name from such a big stage blushed me I don’t know exactly. The moments when I was going to the stage to receive my crystal shield handed by the chief guest and other stage companions, were unbelievable, being spotlight and hundreds of people clapped in a loud rhythm just for me made me proud. These were my moments, this was my time. The eyes were on me, watching me walking to getting near and near to the stage. My heart was pounding with pleasure and happiness. My mind was calm left thinking; I was enjoying being the figure of time. What a kind time…!!!!! What a great moment..!!!!! I wished to keep walking…keep stepping towards the glorious stage of achievement…keep listening the big bang of clapping …… marching in a pompous spotlight….feeling encouraging….may be  bit jealous eyes on my face. ………

I was getting nearer …approaching the marvel stage….and after some seconds I stepped on the stairs to the awesome stage…breath taking moments were on me ….trotting upward stage-stairs my eyes were on the figures standing tall on the glorious stage and looking at me …. Waiting for me….a splendid recognition waiting for me ….I was away just for few seconds. A destined elegant recognition was sure after few seconds. A spirit of proud or might be it was a true soothing satisfaction being recognised my hard contribution for my company, overwhelmed me completely.

Finally I stepped my right foot on the magical platform …..I heard my name again from the podium…….how wonderful it was to hear my name ….my ears couldn’t hear anything anymore after that. Stood behind the chairs my colleagues were shouting and their hands over the heads clapping just for me. Lots of flashes on me standing next to the chief guest who greeted me with a kind smile, wondering if he was on the best position or I. He was holding a beautiful crystal shield on it my full name was illuminating; it was mine …it was mine … my heart was throbbing. The famous figure advanced to hand over the shield to me. At last I held my destiny in my hand; felt the charm of success; grabbed the moment of pride; witnessed the achievement. Cameras were on me; the moment was captured forever; it was on me; I was enjoying the kind magical shower of blessing.

The most desirable thing in that large enlightened canopy was in my hands. Everyone under the white magnificent shelter was in love of this crystal beauty and ………. It was mine ……only mine… it was destined to be mine. The hundred of audience was clapping; they joined their hands beating their palms; there was nothing between their palms but just a sound which gone with the wind. The beauty was in my custody. My heart…my mind…my eyes ….my all senses were busy in thanking to whom ……who bestowed it to me. And when I raised my crystal shield in the air and faced the cameras with sparkling eyes and smiling face, I felt the power of success.

I wished I could stand there forever feeling the magical power of success.
