Mein Kampf is the autobiography of Adolf Hitler. The word is a German word and it means- “My Struggle”.
This was the book which took me longest time to read. No doubt it’s a bit painstaking to continue reading this book. At times you will tend to loose interest and think of read a later. But if discontinued it will be harder to read the book. In the starting I found book really interesting, but slowly-slowly I did not find much interest in the book. Though I never felt bored while reading this.
The book has two volumes and I found volume two more appealing then the first one.
The book contains various statements which are worth pondering and debating. The way Hitler has interpreted the situation and understood is really appreciable.
Hitler thought of various names for the book but then he finally decided on Mein Kampf. He wrote the book while in imprisonment in 1924 and in this book he has encompassed his life from childhood, his struggles, his political view and his learning from life as yet.
The book presents a deeper look into the history of Germany and the world from 1918-1923. The book reveals a lot about Hitler, his thinking, his philosophy for life. Hitler was a racist and a true national. I ever in my life as yet don’t know a person as patriotic as Hitler.
No doubt after reading the book you develop a soft corner for Hitler. He from childhood was having an artistic mindset and was not violent. But the struggles he faced in life, the ruling by Jews on Germany and the vulnerable attitude of Germans made him take violent step against Jews. The time he wrote this book he was in the process of making his party, and arising in Germans the need for war against Jews for preservation of their country and their race. Nazi party is no where described in this book.
Hitler was very intelligent and life taught him a lot. He was a brilliant orator and his philosophy by large could be well accepted by people.
Though there were some criticism for the book itself and he was criticized for getting racist in his views and approach.
There is also a sequel to Mein Kampf, named “Zweites Buch” (Second Book) which never got into public domain.
Overall its good reading, just you need to maintain your interest. Personally I liked the book and would like to read it all again.

Anyway
It is a poem by Mother Teresa which i really like-
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God; It was never between you and them anyway.

Happpiness!!! :-)
What is happiness?
To a child it is a new toy
To a girl it’s a new doll
To some it is a box of chocolates
But to me it’s the chirping birds
To a mother it is her smiling baby
To a father it is his scholar son
To a teenage it is no restriction
But to me it’s the blowing wind
To a nation it is sovereignty
To a man it is growing profits
To a woman it is undue attention
But to me it is the blossoming flower
Happiness has no bounds
It is present everywhere
It is in nature, in mind and heart
It in you and me and all
To a child it is a new toy
To a girl it’s a new doll
To some it is a box of chocolates
But to me it’s the chirping birds
To a mother it is her smiling baby
To a father it is his scholar son
To a teenage it is no restriction

But to me it is the blossoming flower
Happiness has no bounds
It is present everywhere
It is in nature, in mind and heart
It in you and me and all

India
Writing on one’s own country can be easy also and at the same time a tough task. India a land of unity in diversity, a country of rich tradition, culture and inventions and great people. It is a vast country wherein various nations of different beliefs are bundled together to give a definite shape. Perhaps it is the only country in the world which has assimilated so many contradicting beliefs, religions and traditions in one rope.
In today’s world where casteism has taken a ugly shape imagining a country like India is really a whim.
Every country in this world has got its own beliefs and they hardly can accept the beliefs of other people. But in our country every one has got right to practice its religion in the way it wants. We have got largest number of temple of crores of Gods and Goddesses.
Still we respect each other and accept as they are. But then for how long will it be possible. We can see some faction demanding their separate state; we have already witnessed some pie added to the already existing cake. We have also seen various cities have got their name change. We have seen political parties emphasizing on their culture people, language and values. Some where people have started keeping the state and the religion before national interest and jeopardizing the unity of the country.
This is not the only challenge affecting our country. There are various other challenges which can dealt a great blow to the country’s existence. These are-
Terrorism- there is nothing to be said on this
Politics and its dark side- we have largest number of political parties which are more of a religious faction then a national party. The fight just to fulfill their mean interest without giving damn to the nation.
Our values- yes somehow and somewhere our values are also affecting us. We are too compromising, people blessed with weak memories when it comes to remembering the blows dealt on us by the foreigners. Whenever some incidence of terror attack happens we just forget everything the very next day. All these things are taken for granted.
Internal conflicts, internal act of terrorism
Lack of education and lack of sense of responsibility for own country and the list goes on.
I am not criticizing India as man people do. Infact I consider myself blessed to be born in this country but then we have to leverage upon this blessing and fight against various evils afflicting our country

Boys Vs. Girls
One of the most controversial topics. Right from early childhood we can find males and females fighting over this and trying to prove their superiority knowing very well that o on will come out as a winner. And infact no one is superior to other. Both are unique having particular behavioral aspect that separates the two. But for a successful living actually both of these behavioral aspects are needed.
Lets take women first (Ladies first concept)!!!! Women are more emotional, less logical, emotionally stronger than man and very creative. They are more flexible easily adaptable to any situation and are also good crisis manager. They are less demanding, more childish, understanding, good listener and so on.
To highlight a few negative aspect then- they are too emotional to handle this emotions. In the gush of emotions they don’t logically weigh the situation and may take hasty decisions which they at times regret later. Also they are very impatient and can get hyper even in those situations which can be handled peacefully. Undoubtedly, they are good at maneuvering, scheming and can change the face of the situation in a subtle manner. They know how to leverage a particular situation better than guys.
and ofcourse the biggest strength and weakness is their tears
As far as guys are concerned they are no doubt logical, business oriented, focused and ofcourse less creative. They are in the better grasp of the situation which needs to be handled with patience and logic and do not get carried away by emotions. They ofcourse don’t understand subtle emotions which they call as small-small useless stuff. They don’t have much ego issues and can prove as a better friend only if they know how to maintain the relations. They are good at taking care only if they know how to show it.
But then they are highly stubborn and this stubbornness of their can injure great relations. They don’t give a damn to emotional aspect which at times is necessary. And ofcourse they are more insecure and suspecting when it comes to relations. They value everything in terms of money.
But ofcourse then both are needed to run the family, society and this is world.
World cannot be imagined in the absence of one.
Birds !!!
I love seeing the birds flying high in the sky with virtually no restrictions, no fear and no bondage. Daily sitting in my office I see a group of pigeons take long flight together making loud sound, atleast twice a day. I love watching them flocking together in the group and see the camaraderie between them. Ofcourse I am not an ornithologist to understand this aspect of birds (but I would like to know if someone can tell me).
What I imagine is that I also want to be one of them flying high in the sky, without caring for anything or anyone, deep in own thoughts and masti.
Really if we want to learn then the animals and birds have lot to teach us.
They are free from any bondage. They don’t carry any emotions, grudges or ill feelings. They are all independent and blah, blah and blah.
But ya then they do not have family system like us, they don’t fall into emotional traps which at times may be good and they don’t have mind to perceive so many things.
I am thankful to God to grant me this life but still I would like to fly high in the sky like a bird away from this material world.

Movie 2012
I am not a movie critique, but then there are few movies which inspires/force you to write about it something.
Movie 2012 is a theme based movie, with good animations to be watched on a big screen ofcourse and not devoid of various stupidities like catching the flight while running, escaping danger every time, to name a few.
However what touched me the most is the underlying theme of this movie which is- “live your life as if it is your last day”.
This movie touches on basic emotion of human beings- the love for each other. We love our family, relatives and friends. This movie reminds us that today in this fast paced world we have not just got away from them physically but even emotionally. We hold onto grudges for long and don’t forgive our kith and kin-which is actually bad. But we fail to realize that we have just one precious life which is very uncertain and we may not know when the person we love go away from us. We will not get the time to communicate our feelings, to say the person how much we love him/her, to ask sorry and say thank you.
Hence this movie is a good reminder to forget the past, start a new beginning every day and express our emotions atleast to the people who value them.

Thanks to Orkut
Friendship is one such topic, on which one can write anything in length and anytime. It’s a blessing in disguise, a precious gift and for some a river of sorrow. But one thing is for sure it is like a rainbow, full of colors and when it is there in your life, your life is worth it.
But how about when your friend goes away from you for any reason- may be change in the location, job, college or school or any other reason. I know its pretty sad.
And then one fine day you either receive a surprise mail, call or just a scrap on your orkut. How do you feel??? Surprised!!!! Happy!!!! Don’t know how to respond!!!
Similar was my state on Saturday November 7th 2009 when I received a scrap from my old school friend. She was not in contact with anyone as such right after tenth std. as she moved to Mumbai. Just a few days back I was remembering her, the precious phone call from her when I was in tenth std. regarding change in exam schedule and simply everything. And now today I received a scrap from her. I was indeed flabbergasted, not know for a moment what to do, how to respond, what to scrap her and is this a reality. But ofcourse this was a great moment of my life. Same day I saw scrap from one more school friend with whom I was not in contact after leaving school. Its really great when your old friends come in your life.
Thanks to orkut and other net-gifts that help us finding our old friends and be friend to them.
Similarly I received mail from one of my friend and I am still in soup as I am not able to recognize this friend of mine. This is pretty sad but I will recognize her very soon.
No doubt, net- surfing is good.
Vulgar competition
I guess this is the most befitting term for the competition that is witnessed by various players in the market today. Major industries are telecom, communication and retail.
To attract customers and to prevent churn rate the companies are on a price war.
To justify lets take example of telecom industry. More and more players are coming into the ever-growing market with varied schemes to attract more and more customers. Schemes like STD @ 50.ps, pay per call, pay 1 ps. and talk unlimited are deluging in the market.
Then there are schemes going in retail segment also. Like the past decade witnessed the tough competition between cola companies. Various FMCG companies, apparel industry are also witnessing this cut-throat competition.
No doubt the customer is at an advantage as he gets the bargaining power and a wider basket of goods to choose from. But, till what point of time?
At some point the balance has to come and market will see the saturation.
One more question comes to my mind is that are customers paying some indirect cost may be in form of hazard to environment, inter-generational equity or any other hidden cost which will show its face in future.
How about companies, there profitability, effects on shareholders, employees and various other stake holders? Are they not into loss?
All these questions need to be answered. No doubt, competition is healthy, but excess of it is not ripe for the market. There should be proper regulatory framework to address unnecessary competition in the market and make it a fair play.
Learnings
We all might have read a great many quotes. Mails are abounded with the stuff on positive quotes. At times its seems good to read this quotes, but then there are the times when our life is a damn hell and we feel what the fuck this quotes are and they are just good in preaching but not in practice. Very true!!!
Only we can understand our problems, how gigantic are they and we only know how difficult it is to come out of them. And you can always find every second individual crying on his/her fate. We keep cribbing on various things. And the only reason for this to happen is that we forget our core values along with others, our very purpose of life. We just know that small-small problems takes the shape of big problems, but we don’t know that small-small blessings also add to one big blessing. We forget to delite ourselves from small-small things.
Just have a look and you will find-
That the world is really beautiful. There is Mother Nature to enjoy with; there are atleast few friends in our life who are angels on this earth for us. These friends might be far away from us but then they are somewhere in this world praying for us. We have relatives, siblings and above all our parents.
When we have so many blessings then why do we cry for small-small things that are actually insignificant and beyond our control. I know these words are easy said then done. I also know that when someone else is in problem it is quite easy to assuage that other person. We may give wonderful sermons and allay fear of other person. But when the things come on us, we forget everything. Then we want someone else to remind us these wonderful words.
But then there can be times when we are all alone and at that time we should count small-small blessings of our life and increase our joy and not pain.
Worldof my dreams
I close my eyes to see-
The birds flying high
The waves swirling high
And the kids playing sci-fi
I close my eyes to hear-
The chirping of birds
The roaring sound of waves
And the twitter of children
The world is so beautiful
Full of love and happiness
Full of peace and freedom
Far away from hatred and violence
But then I open my eyes to find-
Birds no more flying
Waves no more swirling
And Children no more playing
What I find is a world-
Full of hatred and malice
In the grip of terror and cries
Forcing you to move with fright
Hence I pray the almighty
To peep into the world
And to set the things in order
Or let my eyes close forever.
Where are you???
You came as a stranger in my life
Became integral part of my life
You walked away from my life
Leaving indefatigable scars in my life
My eyes keep on searching for you
My heart still sings the songs for you
And it keeps on asking a question-
To me- why did you leave me far behind?
Whose fault was it?
Or the time was not ripe for it?
Did I fail to understand you?
Or you took me on a ride all the while?
Alas! There’s no more time-
To question or answer;
To crib and to blame
Or to cry over the fate
Now is the time
To take a decision
To wipe the tears
And to forgive and forget
Became integral part of my life
You walked away from my life
Leaving indefatigable scars in my life
My eyes keep on searching for you
My heart still sings the songs for you
And it keeps on asking a question-
To me- why did you leave me far behind?
Whose fault was it?
Or the time was not ripe for it?
Did I fail to understand you?
Or you took me on a ride all the while?
Alas! There’s no more time-
To question or answer;
To crib and to blame
Or to cry over the fate
Now is the time
To take a decision
To wipe the tears
And to forgive and forget
Learning from life away from home
As a child I always had a dream to live in the hostel far away from home and experience what this life is like; which is praised by many but at the same time also criticized by many. I am living this dream in reality for past 2.5 years. No doubt, this life has got both pros and cons.
00.0- The life in the hostel starts with B’Day bashes, cakes, hullagulla and dance and masti.
01.00- After enjoying cake comes time for movie and IP bakar. This continues till morning 03.00 o’ clock and then perhaps it is the time to sleep.
08.00- alarm continues to ring. Get up, hurry to get ready for class.
17.00- if there are no classes then this is the sleeping time.
21.00- dinner time
23.30- time to get to the rooms after a long blissful walk and ghumofying with friends.
This was typical hostel life at Nirma. But now after getting into the job this life has taken a shift. Now no late B’Day bashes, no IP bakar and hence no late night parties.
Now almost everyone goes to bed in so called right time and also gets up at right time.
But then there are few things that have not changed and this are learning derived from this life.
No doubt the life @ hostel is full of fun and freedom. There are virtually no restrictions and you can do whatever you want to do. No one to guide you, no one to keep a check on each activity of yours, no one to peep in your cupboard, or your precious private diary or no one to eavesdrop on your long distance call.
But then there are times when you miss your home, your old buddies, food prepared by your mom, the hide and seek you played with your things to hide them from your siblings and the list continues.
But when the freedom comes it comes bundled with responsibilities. If you are financially independent then you have to also manage your own finances so that you don’t fall short of it.
If you there is no supervision on you, you have to be supervisor of your values and be careful that you don’t go astray.
At times when you feel sad and lonely, you have to be with yourself. You know that you simply can’t keep on whining and call your home for petty issues. Hence you have to maintain you calm and blithe.
Right from small-small issues to big issues you have to take a call all alone.
Hence, the life which at portico seems to be really heaven is not so from inside.
Many of friends are too eager to leave their home and experience hostel life. Indisputably, everyone should live such life atleast once in their life time. It teaches a lot and experience learnt here becomes life time learning.
In nutshell, to me 3H- Hostel, Heaven and Hell sounds synonym.
Old friend Vs. New Friend
“Make new friends,
But do not forget the old
As new may be silver
But old is gold”.
These are few lines many of us might have heart of before, especially through sms or on friendship day. Well how relevant are these lines I really don’t know. Because we keep on making new friends at every new step of life. When we leave school we make new friends in college and our contact gets lessened with the school friends, still moving on we go on making new and more and more friends. Sometimes we think that this new friends are our real true friends. We thank God for giving such good friends. But then a point comes in our life when we start missing our old friends, those old mastis and their sweet talks.
I don’t buy the above mentioned lines because then one more sms comes to my mind-
“Friendship is not about who came first, whom you have known the longest or who cares the best… its all about who came and never left”.
For me friendship is something a feeling, a matter of intuition. If I feel that the person can be a good friend of mine then I extend the contact else I don’t. This had assumed great significance particularly in recent times when I am in process of making various new friends. In some cases old contacts are getting revived up and in some cases new friends are getting in touch may be due to any reason.
But then you have also to decide are you really in need of this new friendship. I mean will you be able to handle this new friendship. In this fast moving world, which is a complex maze, will you have time and moreover patience to handle all your friends. It is very difficult.
Well the definition of the friendship differs greatly and hence I will not say much. Hence I end this topic abruptly.

Run Away......
Run away…
My heart says- run away;
To the place- Where you find peace
To the people- Who are your own
To the home- Which is yours
And to the world- Which is filled with love.
Run away-
My heart says- run away;
These are not your people
This place is not worth living
And this is not the life you dreamt of.
Then what are you waiting for?
What are you looking for?
Are these agonies not sufficient to run away from?
My heart says- run away dear, run away!!!
My heart says- run away;
To the place- Where you find peace
To the people- Who are your own
To the home- Which is yours
And to the world- Which is filled with love.
Run away-
My heart says- run away;
These are not your people
This place is not worth living
And this is not the life you dreamt of.
Then what are you waiting for?
What are you looking for?
Are these agonies not sufficient to run away from?
My heart says- run away dear, run away!!!
Childhood :-)
If someone asked me the most perfect age to live and cherish and the age I would like to visit once again, if given a chance, then I would say – “CHILDHOOD”.
Yes, according to me this is the most exciting age when you enjoy yourself to the fullest. Some of you may not agree, but let me explain.
I know as a child theoretically there is no freedom, no choice, every time we have to listen to our elders, we are not decision makers. Someone else makes decision for us and those decisions are forced on us. We are not choosers in any case. But hey wait. Have you thought of the numerous benefits of this age that is the period from age of 3-7 years, when we are at a tender age.
Though there are restrictions of all sorts on us but we are a free bird from our mind. There’s no ill-will in our mind, it is free from clad of emotions of all sorts. We do not know what is right and what is wrong, who is right and who is wrong. We simply do not know the language of emotions like love, hatred, anger, lust and discrimination. We are simply involved with ourselves, in our own world which is full of play, fun and no tensions.
No tension of schooling as such, of job, of family and all sorts of responsibilities. We even don’t care as to what is going on in the world around us. We are above nitty-gritty of life and everyone loves us.
I guess this is the most perfect age to enjoy, to cherish and simply to live.
But the sad thing is that we understand this only when we grow up.

HOLLYWOOD Vs. BOLLYWOOD
Many of us fond of movies. Some of them are such movie freak that they watch all movies that are released on every Friday in cinemas. For them the type of movie, the cast, the performers are immaterial. I really doubt how can someone watch all kind of movies especially when I am not a movie freak.
Infact before joining Nirma I rarely used to watch movies, but hostel life, IP messenger and availability of various movies teaches you how to watch movies. I have quite a good number of movies especially English movies after joining Nirma.
After watching Hollywood movies I can say that they are better than our so called Bollywood movies. And the reason why am I saying so is because they touch emotions in a much subtle way. Whether it is action movie, or comedy stuff, or romantic movie; the emotions are depicted in a better way than our Bollywood movies. The concept is also a bit different and all the movies I watched had a different underlying theme. Further they are comparatively of short duration. Hence, I like Hollywood movies now more than Bollywood movies. Even performance of many actors and songs are much better.
This should not suggest that I am a critique of Hindi movies; I like them also and watch them. But now-a-days there is a dearth of good movies, good themes in Indian movies.
Waiting for some big blockbuster to come.
Hope it comes soon.

Job Life!!!
The life after college when you step into the real world, standing on your own feet (I mean definitely when you start earning) can be so thrilling and tempting. You are into different planet at times just at the thought of “Glamorous Corporate World”, “Hefty Pays-scale”, new locations, new friends and so on.
But at the same time you may be also gloomy at the thought of leaving your alma mater, your old friends, end of college life (a life of masti, dhoom and no real world tensions), leaving your native place or your family and so on.
However after stepping into this real world you realize the sheer glamour, which might be a mask for some, simply dabbed with glittering powder and mask. Though the real world is not bad, after and all it gives you the opportunity to come to face to face with the cruel realities of the world.
Some are people are too happy with their work, while others are not. Reasons may be many like higher expectations in terms of work profile, salary, location and work culture not to forget. Some people seem to be too happy with their job however it might be. This may be because either they don’t have high expectations or many of them have lost the hope of a better job prospect coming their way. Some are happy because their job is actually worth it.
While many I have seen are not happy with their job and I found them cribbing them for reasons I mentioned above. If the current scenario is taken into consideration then getting a desirable job is a challenging job in itself.
In some case it’s not the job that becomes a cause of misery but other disturbing things happening in their life ranging from some daily home issues to breaking of first love or whatever. In this case even if the job is lucrative the person is not able to take the full advantage of the situation. And in some case when the above situation ties a knot with the so called- bad job; the situation perhaps can’t be described in words.
Hence many people life becomes- “as usual” once they start working; i.e. whenever you ask them- “what’s going on”, they will reply sheepishly- “as usual”. Even many of friends I guess are under same situation.
But however it may be, it is also a part of the life and must be enjoyed. I guess some research can be done as to- how to make job life more interesting?
Though my job life is good but ofcourse I would also like to know the answer to the above mentioned question.
So anyone with any suggestion please suggest them.
But at the same time you may be also gloomy at the thought of leaving your alma mater, your old friends, end of college life (a life of masti, dhoom and no real world tensions), leaving your native place or your family and so on.
However after stepping into this real world you realize the sheer glamour, which might be a mask for some, simply dabbed with glittering powder and mask. Though the real world is not bad, after and all it gives you the opportunity to come to face to face with the cruel realities of the world.
Some are people are too happy with their work, while others are not. Reasons may be many like higher expectations in terms of work profile, salary, location and work culture not to forget. Some people seem to be too happy with their job however it might be. This may be because either they don’t have high expectations or many of them have lost the hope of a better job prospect coming their way. Some are happy because their job is actually worth it.

Expressing Oneself!!!
Has anyone thought upon the power of language, power of words- the enormous power through which you can express your emotions, your feelings and feel free from the trap of all emotions?
But even if we know about his power do we rightly use this power?
I guess no!!!
We actually don’t make the right use of facilities given to us especially if there are no restrictions on them.
Many people are extra-extrovert while many of them are intensely-introvert. Some are so extrovert that they just don’t know how much to say and some are so introvert that they even don’t reveal important information which is their duty to reveal. I guess both are truly irritating, atleast I found so.
Many people don’t know how to express their feelings, when, where and to what extent.
One such emotion when people usually lose control over their tongue is when they are extremely angry. At this time they just don’t know that- “everyone can become angry, it’s easy. But to become angry to the right extent, on the right person and for the right reason is not easy for all”.
Similarly there are cases of extreme emotions when people loose control over themselves and outburst all their feelings. Many a times it is because they had enough of it in their heart. And now the swarm of feelings wants to gush out of their heart. This is usually considered to be a very dangerous situation but people are usually trapped into this. And it is indeed a very difficult situation when people just don’t know how to fight with the situation.
Hence, both the cases i.e. when people express themselves much or don’t express at all are complex. But then where does the balance lies.
How to find the situations when you don’t know how to react to the things happening around you? Who can be trusted? Whom to approach in times of emotional turbulence?
Further, what are other ways of expressing your deep seated emotions without speaking to anyone?
All these are big questions perhaps without any answer.

Where am I???
Reflecting on the past
Brooding about the future
I was caught in the grip of-
Anger, regret and fear.
Looking back, am forced to think-
What have I achieved?
Am I on the right path?
Or have gone lean.
Life has been full of-
Heartaches and pains;
Failures and celebrations-
With little to cheer and game.
So many failures
So many heartburns
That many deceits
All trapped in one.
But this was the past
How about the future?
Will it be little better or more worse
That time will only answer.
Caught in this labyrinth
Of past and future
Of somber reality and hope
I forgot to live in the present.
Friendship
Friendship- a word with various definitions
A word with various interpretations
A bond that makes the life
And a bond that can destroy the life
From cradle to grave
A friend comes every way
That may make you say –
Pal! Where have you been these days?
People say it’s great to make a friend
To smile and to cry
To live and to die
To say hii and then bbye
This is sad but a true picture
Everything that comes has to go some day
Friendship is no exception
It lives and then leaves you all alone some day.

School life
OHH NO!!!! aaj bhi school……….hmmm mumma nahi jana…
Oofff yeh homework kabhi khatam hi nahi hota….
Ohh No. exam time table, abhi last week hi to the aur Diwali ke baad exams it means no celebration… this is not fair.
So do not these lines take you down to memory lane when we all were in school doing loads of masti but at the same time criticizing the system? Getting up early in the morning, daily studies, homework, punishments in school and all such things were not they vexing?
At times I and my friends used to criticize our school, its regulations and simply everything. We used to criticize our very own teachers especially some of whom were really partial and perhaps not fit to be a teacher. We used to crib at mess food (though I liked it). In our school every morning there used to be a prayer session of about 30-40 minutes, which was at times really harassing especially if you have to stand under scorching sun. But something I really liked were first the Prayer itself, which was composed by the school authorities itself, the thought session and not to forget the moral songs. Though a majority chunk never appreciated this but I did this. Then at regular intervals there used to be meditation sessions followed or preceded by some spiritual lecture series. This also used to be vexing for the students but somehow I appreciated them.
My school has taught me loads of things, besides giving the basic education. The sense of Yoga, meditation, feeling of spirituality and above all the confidence in dealing with the public is a gift to me by my alma mater. It was my teachers who instilled confidence in me so that I could become a good speaker. My drawing teacher provided me with basic skills needed in sketching so that I can become a good sketcher (I guess this is reflected by my sketches), the knowledge of language, the hand writing and various small-small things are a gift to me by my alma mater.
However sports were not very much appreciated in our school hence I am not good at sports. Still we used to play a variety of games especially Kho-Kho. Further the sports period was more of a chit-chat time for we girls and we used to enjoy this session a lot.
Our group was very big and indeed famous in school amongst students and teachers. We used to sit in one row, took lunch together, played together and simply enjoyed a lot.
We also named out group as “AAAA…..” Group because the names of everyone had “A” as the last alphabet (except one girl). I really miss those pretty fun filled days.
There was stiff competition between me and the topper of our class and we used to fight for quarter of marks also.
I remember as a child we used to be jealous of our elder siblings who were in college or had finished their studies. But when the final D-Day came I mean the Farewell eve, everyone was simply getting poignant at the thought of living the place where we have spent a major and the initial part of our life and the fear of starting a new life full of challenges and uncertainties. For me it was perhaps more difficult as because it was the only school I visited.
No doubt I will always miss my school days which were really amazing. Also the friends made here are precious. I don’t know how many of them will remain in real good contact and for how long but they are all my great friends who also taught me a lot many things. Some of the teachers are very dear to me and would never ever forget them.
Thanks to everyone who came in contact with me during my schooling and gifted me something very precious which perhaps I will never get back.
Hope this days come back once again!!!!

“Apnu Ahmedabad”- a place for all fun, frolic and money
Hello everyone,
After living in Ahmedabad for more than two years I am in a position to pen down some unique features of this tier II city.
No doubt it is a very good, developing city with a better standard of living. People are quite jolly, friendly and lively. Every weekend is meant for outing after and all, all home makers also need weekend. Hotels have waiting queue of about 1-2 hours every weekend. Even after having restaurants every few kms., it is still a good business opportunity to start a chain. As compared to restaurants, hotels are less in number.
Almost every MNC has got its branch in Ahmedabad and is providing employment to a vast majority of people. It is a good place to work, with good transport system (better than over crowded trains of Mumbai), good infrastructure.
No shortage of power, water and other amenities.
The government is keen on developing this city at quite a rapid pace and it is a lucrative place to start any business.
Roads are excellent, suited for long drive with Highways like Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway very well built. (I really miss this highway; have traveled a lot owing to my alma mater situated on this highway)
Dalvada, Gote, Thepla, Khakra and Undhiyon are some famous delicacies of Ahmedavadis.
Mount Abu- one of the most common destinations for outing besides Saputara, Udaipur and Diu.
Festivals are also a name of celebration. May it be the most famous Navratri of Gujarat or Dussherra or Diwali or Uttrayan.
I need not describe about Navratri- no doubt Gujjus’ dance to their souls. They do Garba in their own groups with varied steps hard to imitate.
In Diwali vacations you will find not a single shop open, not a single vendor on road. It’s a total shut down here and all neighboring tourist places are occupied by Ahmedavadis. I found it a bit strange as because in my home town I never saw something like this when people lock their homes during Diwali and go out for trip.
The very next day of Diwali is celebrated as New Year of Gujaratis with all fervour. And you will find people wishing “Happy New Year” more often then “Happy Diwali”.
One more tradition attracted my attention this year. There is some thing called-
“Labh Pacham”. That means people will start their business after Five days of Diwali. Hence there is total Shut down for 5 more days. Good Vacation time!!!! Strange, but true!!!
Uttrayan or Makar Sankranti is another famous festival of Ahmedabad. Jalebi, Khaman, Khandvi and loads of kites, all scattered on terrace of people is a common sight on January 14th every year. Every person irrespective of age, gender is busy in flying kite and shouting- “Kaipoch che”. In the night skies are filled with glittering fire shots and roads and food joints with people.
No doubt, people celebrate every festival with gusto and the festivals are nothing but another name of Celebration.
People are quite friendly, calm, relaxed, broad minded and at the same time conservative also. They are very passionate about their language to an extent that if the person opposite to them does not understand the language they will continue speaking in Gujarati. However, it is not a very difficult language and those who know Hindi will not find it much hard.
The big business mind of people walks with people and follows them everywhere. After all Gujju’s are known for making money out of any and every business.
Half or more than half of Gujarat resides in USA. There is separate community in India known as NRG- Non Resident of Gujarat.
Overall Ahmedabad is a good place to live and enjoy and earn money.
“Atyare atlu bas thayu”
Jai Shree Krishna!!!

Poverty- can we fight it??
This is one of the most perplexing and at the same time a question embedded with various emotions. We see poor people almost everywhere atleast in our country. We can see them in our locality, near temples or bus stands or any other commercial place begging for alms. And its really sad to see young kids spreading their hands and begging. Instead of going to school and using their hands, mind and time for some constructive activity they are forced to slog in heat and run after people. We can find these people spending their night and days under open sky irrespective of climate, eating anything that they can find and simply trying to eke out a living.
When I see these people I feel vary sad and a question comes to my mind that can’t we do anything for them. Can’t government or various NGO’s do anything? What are NGO’s and Governments meant for?
Many people say that we should not give alms to beggars for various reasons, should we not?
Today, various schemes run for the benefit of the poor people. But either the poor people are not aware of such schemes or they get caught in the labyrinth of the corruption and mal-practices existing in the country.
Even about NGO’s you may not be sure whether their practices are genuine or not.
Sometimes, I think that we can create a fund (may be in our family, at our work places) wherein every earning member will have to contribute some amount daily; it may be a rupee even. Contributing a small amount will perhaps not e a burden on the beneficent but these pool of small contributions can be used for removal of poverty. But is this possible? Or is it just a whimsy?
But if this possible then I sincerely urge dear blog readers to do something to fight poverty and let it be a history-never to be repeated.

Rules as per convenience
What are rules???
Well, they are the principles that govern the conduct of a person in a society.
Who frame these rules??
The rules are framed by the Government, the Judiciary authority of the country, by the elder members of families and society in general.
For who are the rules made??
The rules are made for everyone and everyone should follow them in unison.
But does it happen so?? A common saying goes as- “Rules are meant to be broken”.
Further, it is also said that rule makers, are not rule followers. They make rules for others to follow.
But this is all about the rules that generally govern the society in large. What about the rules that are made by individuals themselves for themselves. These rules might be in agreement with the normally accepted principles of the society or might be a taboo.
But I have seen some people for whom rules are nothing but a way of life that suits their life style, their ego and are there to ensure a comfortable living at a cost to others. Also, the application of so called rules changes with the people. I will not elucidate it with some example, but this thing really irritates me.
Why cannot be people consistent with their ideologies atleast when it comes to following them? And I am not talking of some great dictates, but of small-small ideologies that people make for themselves. They then don’t think about the implications of these rules on others. They don’t care about others but act in most selfish way.
What should one do in such circumstances? Shall we stop dealing with such people or???

Dreamz Unlimited
Sitting on a lonely bench, feeling sad
I prayed for a true Friend
From a distant corner you came
Asking me to smile all again
We sat together for hours
Not knowing what to say
Watching the deep black sky,
Understanding the chemistry of moon and stars
Sitting together all the time
Speaking nothing any time
Developing a true bond
Supposed to be lasting for lifetime
But... Was it a dream, or a reality?
Or the sun rose very early
I felt as if I was in deep slumber,
Away from the world and its wonders
Soon, the reality dawned on me,
I have to realize that everything was a myth;
The dreams are meant to be cherished in dreams
Expecting them in reality is just a whim. Birthday Surprises
We all eagerly wait for our B’Day (atleast I do) and when the B- Day comes we all want it to be the best day of the year...(after all it is.)
We want to celebrate this day the way we like- may be with friends, with family or by doing something innovative like charity work and so on.
But how about our B- Day celebrated by others, wherein they organize surprise parties for us or do something to surprise us. No doubt that B’Day becomes the most special day of our life.
This reminds me of my B’Day of year 2008 when all my friends due to work overload forgot that it was my B’Day. Since no one remembered it there was no celebration. Also, as I was away from family and my old friends and no celebration, I got disheartened. This way more than half of the day passed. Then in evening one of my friend happened to remember it by chance, he wished me and informed others also via mail.
Then by late evening one more friend of mine told other friends about my B’Day. However it was so late that in starting no one was ready to believe. After words arrangements were made and cake was brought and then there was more cake on my face than in my mouth. It no doubt became one of the most memorable B’Day of my life. I always wanted to have such a B’Day.
Thanks to both of my Friends for making my day really wonderful.
This reminds me of my friend who perhaps had her best B’Day. Her best friend visited her from a distant place, brought all sorts of gift and was there at her doorstep at 00.00 hours.
No doubt we all want to make this day as special as we can. However, given the realities of life where we are away from our kith and kin it is hard to celebrate it in the desirable way. Still we should enjoy this day to maximum as it is our day.
Intensions Vs. Actions
One of the most controversial topic whether in public debates or crime or relations.
Yes, what is in your mind and what comes out as your actions might be two different things; hence which should be believed??
Some say- that at times people have good intentions, still they are forced by the situations to act in an unacceptable manner. Hence they are not guilty- but is it right??
It means I don’t have bad intentions in my mind and still I stab someone owing to any reason- so is it right???
Similarly there are many small and large circumstances that we face in our life for which we have no right answer. At times we are not able to decide that whatever we are doing is right or wrong. It is possible that we do something without realizing its consequences and may regret later.
This was about having good intentions. But what about those people who have ill-will in their mind and on face they appear with a facial mask of goodness, fair nature and all sorts of pretensions. I guess perhaps they are more risky then the people who atleast are genuine in their mind.
But how do we distinguish between the two??
How to decide what is right when we are ourselves in the same position- when we know that intentions are not bad but actions might be??
Integrity Challenged!!!
Has someone ever raised a question on your integrity?
How do you feel when you are being blamed for something you have never done?
How do you react when your propriety is being challenged?
Why honest people always suffer and are rewarded for their honesty?
Well these are some serious questions of life which people face and often do not know how to react. One may react either very strongly or drink the bitter juice and say nothing.
But when you are being questioned for your integrity; I guess it’s perhaps one the devastating moment of your life. You feel like reacting very strongly, thrashing the person and say him whatever comes in your heart. But then every time the situation is not in your hands. At times you don’t have option to react and you are left to burn in the heat of agony. Sometimes this may also lead to some serious consequences wherein in the people can’t forget the charge and they take extreme steps.
But the question arises that what should one do in such a situation. It is possible that in working life you face such situations more often. And all the times you can’t react.
I believe that- “jo jaisa hota he who waisa hi sochta he”. If you can’t react then better forget it and prove your mettle by concentrating on activities which are in your hand.
But is this right and sufficient??
Missing Good Old Days…
Yesterday night I was watching snapshots of Nirma.. Today I watched a video of Nirma..its so nostalgic. How and where the two years have gone by is hard to imagine. The life was indeed good. Living with different people in altogether a new set up and atmosphere wrapped up with learning, challenges and fun. The life was really great and today I miss that life, the old friends; and am forced to think that when the reunion of all friends will happen… will it ever happen??
Today I miss those IP messages fully loaded with BAKAR of all sorts, the long walk I used to take in Nirma, the hostel and its life and simply everything.
But I know these days will never come back again. Even though I am in Ahmedabad, in the same city as my alma mater, but I don’t wish going all alone there. It induces more sadness now when I look at the places I enjoyed with my friends- the benches, the stage, the long roads the institute and the mess. It’s all very nostalgic.
What to Write???
Well after posting so many blogs, am in a fix now- what to write next??
At times many topics come to mind but they cannot take the shape in form of words. Sometimes topics have to wait before they can be posted on the blog and sometimes I am left blank.
Hence I request dear readers of this blog to kindly suggest me some topics on which I can write..
Waiting for the response..

Realisation and confusion!!!
At times when you realize a few things happening either in your life or in someone else life your doubts are either solved or they get multiplied.
Same is my situation right now.. I am in such a confused state that I even don’t know what to write and how to express my feelings.
In past few days I have been thinking about a few things and I am not able to take my mind off from it (though I want to)
1- Good Vs. Bad
We all know that both the things are prevalent in this world and one thing makes us realize the presence of other. But then it is also said that ultimately good prevails bad…..really????
I think yes this is true but then at times when you are true at heart, in your deeds and true to others- in relations, in work and while helping them, but if you are ditched then you are forced to doubt the relevance of the title. You then feel why have you been so good?? What did you get by getting good?? You did well to others and now you are at loss. As is rightly said by someone- “Neki karo Dariya mein kudo”. This statement seems to be more relevant at such times.
2- Who is a Friend?
We all know the basic definition of a friend- someone who is there in your times of sorrow and joy, some who is genuinely happy for you and someone who genuinely cares for you, perhaps without expecting anything in return. But is it possible such a person in life??? I guess so it is hard.MOM
Everyone’s mom is special. Children are perhaps more close to their mother as compared to father. But do we really realize her importance in our life, her selfless caring and her sacrifices she does simply to make us happy.
It is said that we do not realize value of a person or a thing until and unless we go away from them.
I always knew how importance my mother is in my life but after living in hostel for more than two years now I realize her importance in every small-small things.
I remember how she used to take my tantrums easily and used to cool me and make me happy when ever I felt sad.
If I did not like a particular thing she used to cook something else. Whenever I am sleeping she used to make sure that no one in home makes any noise. If I cry she used to first scold me and then love me and try to assuage me so that I stop crying.
But now the things are changed; now there is no one to pamper me, to tolerate my whimsies and then you feel as if you are left all alone in this world.
But now it’s high time that I do something for my mother. Hence even if I am so far from her I try to do little things that will make her happy. And this makes me doubly happy.
Hence we all should try to do something for our parents for they are everything. They are your real saviors, real friends and simply everything.
Do something that will make them feel proud of you and also happy for you; for their happiness lies in your happiness.
Never ever forget your parents and never ever blame them for your failure or for anything. They can never do anything bad for their child.
Hence in the end I would say-
F- Father
A- And
M-Mother
I-I
L-Love
Y-You
Be Yourself!!!
At times it so happens that someone comes in our life and make us forget the time. At times, some incidents happen in our life which makes us forget everything. And these are the times when we forget ourselves also- who we are? What are values? What are our goals, our priorities and so on?
But we should ourselves for anyone. Everyone is unique; we should learn to accept people as they are. We should not force our thoughts on others and at the same time be aware also that other people do not get too imposing on us.
No doubt we should try to change ourselves given the circumstances; we should learn new things, embrace new ideas and imbue in us good qualities that we perceive in our surroundings.
But then we should not deviate from our core values and priorities of life.
We should be ourselves, so that everyone feels proud of us and they try to emulate us rather than us emulating them.
Hence know yourself, believe in yourself and Be Yourself.

May Be
MAY BE…
Maybe. . we were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that
when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
Maybe . . . it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it,
but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Maybe . . . the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past;after all,
you can't go on successfully in life until you let goof your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.
Maybe . . you should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy .
Maybe . . . the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Maybe . . . the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word,
and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
Maybe . . . happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all those who have searched, and all those who have tried,
for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.
May be . . you should do something nice for someone every single day,
even if it is simply to leave them alone.
Maybe . . . there are moments in life when you miss someone -- a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child --
so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real,
so that once they are around you appreciate them more.
Maybe … giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back.
Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart;
but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
Maybe . . . you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want To go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of, and want to do.
(this is one of my Favorite poem)

Thats Love
That's Love-
If you love some one because you think that he or she is really gorgeous ....then it's not love .. it's "Infatuation"
If you love some one because you think that you shouldn't leave him because others think that you shouldn't ... then it's not love.. it's "Compromise"
If you love some one because you have been kissed by him ... then it's not love.. it's "Inferiority complex"
If you love some one because you cannot leave him thinking that it would hurt his feelings .. then it's not love .. it's "Charity"
If you love some one because you share every thing with him ... then it's not love... it's "Friendship"BUT...
If you feel the pain of the other person more than him even when he is stable and you cry for him ... that's "LOVE"
If you get attracted to other people but stay with him without any regrets... that's "LOVE"
If you let him go knowing that he has to go but he doesn't want to ... that's "LOVE"
(Of course this poem is not written by me but this is one of favorites)

A Dedication to my Best Friend
This was the peom i wrote in a Creative Writing Competition. however this was written by keeping in mind my best friend..
Hence this poem is dedicated to him..
Those gingerly eyes
Those curly lips
That killer smile
That makes me go on ride
Your firm hold
That makes me bold
Something that need not be told
Your love your care
Something which is rare
Is there for me forever
About his innate behavior-
Somu a bholu,
Not so bholu but a motu..
and I call him a “sweetoo”..
A cutie pie
..a innocent guy..
A dreamer and a worker
A helper and a shelter.
A shelter to me in every new difficulty
A sweetie and a mighty
A donkey and a monkey.
In short my cutie pie, my sweetie pie, my lovely pie
Together we make a wholesome tie.

Nation
This was article written during a competition ehld at my college on creative writing. i do not very well remember the title now.
OHH Lord!!! OHH Mighty King!!! of our nation lets all rise up and the storm broke loose!!!
It is well known that the “Pen is mightier than Sword” but at times Sword has to play its own role and honorable king the time has come that that we take sword into our hands and stop the word game, we have been playing for past few months.
Ohh Lord!!! Today I want to speak the hearts of people of your own land who have been with you every time and have seen all seasons of life. I know right now it is the autumn but then we should not forget that Spring is not too far and we have to fight to make this spring, the most cheerful season for everyone.
We all know the whole truth, we also know that we are armed against weakness and uncertainty but then we don’t forget that the blows of war gives us additional strength, firm resolve, and a spirit to overcome all the difficulties, that the nation is currently in grasp of.
Now is not the time to ask how it all happened. The fruitless debate can be postponed for later discussions. At present it is important to know that our hands are active but our consciousness is at rest. And it is the high time that we wake up ourselves.
We the people of this great nation know that we are brave enough to look danger in the face then act decisively with our heads held high. Everytime we have showed the strength of our words, our character and our sword to our enemies. And this time also the history will repeat itself. So let it be today.
Let me remind that this is not the war just against our enemies but this is the war against all the injustice that the people of this holy land have been facing, all those pinching memories of chilly winter that the people want to forget. This is not the war of establishing dominance but is the war to restore people of the freedom which is exclusively right and to spread ray of hope to them who have not cherished it ever.
My task is to give you an unvarnished picture of the situation, to bring forth the feelings of people and to reiterate again-
Now The citizens of this great Nation, Rise Up and Let the storm broke loose.

Mystery Continues....
Hello everyone,
In my previous blog on friendship I tried wrote on what is Friendship and how many perspectives this word has got.
Here I am writing on FRIEND.
In the previous blog I wrote in last line that a Friend is a person who is there for you every time.
Herein I would share my experience as to what I feel about my close friends. For me a person is your friend with whom you can be your natural self without thinking what your friend will think about you, your actions or your words. If you have to think before acting or saying anything infront of your close friends then they are not your close friends, they are simply your friends. As said in movie Mohabbatein, “koi pyaar kare tumse kare, tum jaise ho waise kare, koi tumhe badalkar pyaar kare to who pyaar nahi, soda kare aur sahiba pyaar mein soda nahi hota”.
Further it is possible that the other person might not be having that a great feeling as you have for him/her. But if the relation is true from your side, then sooner or later this fact will be realized by that person and s/he will also consider as your good friend, My Experience!!!. It is also possible that at time your close friend gets away from you, I know that it is perhaps the hardest moment of one’s life, but cannot do anything because you cannot force friendship on anyone. In this case I would say just relax and have faith on your relationship. If even for a moment you had true relation with the person s/he will realize your value in his/her life and will come to you.
Once a friend of mine said that if I can say to my family and my friends that he is my friend then our relation is true, well it is also one of the dimensions of a true relation.
However there is a thin line of difference between a friend and a lover. You have to be very clear about this because you may never know when your true and close friendship may get converted into love. Hence be very clear with your relation. Also, never hide anything from your close friends, be absolutely truthful. Whatever you feel, whether good or bad simply say to your friend and sort out the issue. It will simply strengthen your bond.
It is said that if you have made atleast 5 true friends in your life then your life is worthwhile, so now count how many friends you have with whom you can be your natural self and also absolutely truthful.
Enjoy, Cherish and have faith on your FRIENDS!!!

NEVER THINK…
After reading my friend’s blog I am tempted to write another blog….. “Never Think”..
Yes we as individual can never control our mind and keep on thinking a lot. Infact, it is rightly said-
“When you are alone control your thoughts and when you are in public control your tongue.”
Whenever something good and exciting happens in our life, good thoughts keeps coming in our mind; whenever something unfavorable happens then the bad thoughts (may be for ourselves or others) keep flocking in our mind. I don’t know how far these thoughts take the concrete shape (thought at times they do). But most of the time they don’t and we simply waste our precious time and at times even our precious relations.
Hence it’s better to prevent our mind from thinking anything bizarre. Instead use the time to think some thing constructive, think about the work pending; about the good things that we can do that will make difference to us and others lives.
If I have to share my personal experience-
My mood changes very frequently. If something good happens, good thoughts come to my mind and if something bad happen in my life all sort of negativity surrounds me. And I have seen the effect of this thinking on my work and everything that happens around me. If I think good then the good happens and vice versa. But, whatever I think hardly takes the shape (except dreams which we definitely want to take the real shape).
Hence it’s better to stop thinking something futile which is not going to make any constructive change to anyone’s life. However it does not mean not to think at all.
Ofcourse both sides of brain should be utilized properly.
Hence keep thinking.. Its good for health only of it is a god thought.

WHY?????
Why it happens so that the people who are good have to face various hardships??
Why is it so that the people who are most cheerful are the ones who are actually very sad from within??
Why is it so when you do good to some people they don’t return the good, rather act in most selfish way??
Why is it so that the people who create basic necessities of the human life are themselves deprived of these basic necessities??
Why is it so that even after fighting very hard one does not get the desired success??
Why is it so that the person whom you love the most will go away from you just in a blink??
Why is it so that sometimes the solution of the problem is a big problem in itself??
Why is it so that all the problems comes on you all of a sudden??
Reason, Season and Life Time…
This is one of the very famous mails and I am sure you might have come across this mail- that people come in your life either for a reason, a season or life time.
If I look back at my own life I find that there have been instances when people came in my life for a reason and for a season. There have been instances when I wished some miracle to happen and some stranger came in my life – for a reason.
People come in your life for a season also was felt by me while I was studying in Nirma. There have been instances when I can say that some people came in my life for a season. After passage of that season whether they are more in my life or not is immaterial, but ya they were surely to make a season bright and cheerful.
Who comes in your life for life time is pretty difficult to find and hard to retain. In our life we make numerous friends right from cradle to grave and we ourselves with whom we are going to remain in contact for how long. Physical distance creates distance in emotional bondage also.
However there is one person who will always be there with you for life time. And that person is no more that you, yourself. A person is the best friend of himself/herself. So make yourself as yours best friend at the same time remembering those people and their contributions who came in your life either for a reason or a season.
Mystery called Friendship!!!
Friendship.. a Word which everyone of us has heard of. We all have many Friends in our life. At every phase of life we make friends.When we take birth and learn to walk and talk then we have friends of our age in our neighbor. In most cases our siblings are our friends. Then we go to school and there we make many friends. We count and compare with our other friends as to who has maximum number of friends. We feel happy.Slowly as we grow we further make friends, some of our old friends are left behind and some remain with us. This process continues as we continue our journey and by the time where I am i.e. doing about to finish my PG course, end my classroom study life I have many friends right from childhood. But now a question comes to my mind as to Who are FRIENDS???? What is FREINDSHIP????Nice question but with not just one reply. The answer is very subjective. For some people it is a great bond that can never be broken, for them friends are everything. For some as people say it is like a chewing gum, chew it and throw it (I don’t at all like this definition, but sometimes it is a fact).No doubt friendship has many definitions which changes with our relation we share with various people around us. With some we are in close contact, with some we are in a formal contact that is alive till the time we are together at the work place. But this is life…..At times we consider someone as a very good friend, but the other person does not and this might be hurting also. Here I would like to say that friendship is a matter of feelings and this feeling should be absolutely unconditional. “Fate decides our Relatives and we Decide our Friends”. Relations may be conditional but friendship; it should be unconditional and like a free bird with no restrictions. Hence in end I would like to say that try to have atleast one friend who is there with you to guide you, to help you, to give you a shoulder when you want to cry and bring a smile on your face, to be in times of joy and…. And…..Simply be there for you!!!!!
Deep thoughts....
Hii,
Well this blog was written by me last year when i was pursuing my summer internship.
I am just about to finish my summers training, not at RBI, but at TCS, and would like to share some of my experience of these two crucial months.Well what the summers are meant for????According to me they are meant for two things:Adding to your technical (I mean subject knowledge giving it a practical touch)Providing deep and reach insights from so called “Glamorous Corporate World”.As far as technical knowledge is concerned it depends on the project, the company you get. It is possible that you might not get a company of your choice or the project you get may not be of your interest. Hence as far as addition to all ready existing technical knowledge is concerned it might not be great.If I talk about myself, the company I got is no doubt one of the dream companies of many people. But as far as the addition of technical knowledge is concerned, I did not get into the same domain I wanted. (I wanted to go for a finance profile, but it being an IT company…..). However as far as addition to behavioral aspect is concerned it definitely provided me with great insights. I came to know about his glamorous corporate world, how “professional” people are here and how even your friends get professional by getting here. Some thing that I have learn in these two months is that life is too tough and no body is yours. It’s your life and you have to fight it too hard. In this corporate life everyone is there to bite their own share and everyone wants this biggest pie. To get this they are ready to go anyway. Further, I have learn that what people say and what they do are entirely two different things. (I know “Saying” and “Doing” are two different things). I at times used to believe that in this world there are people are of integrity, but after this two months……. ?????Sometimes I feel that in this world there is no space for people who are sober, calm and introvert. It is a world of people who are diplomatic, cunning, and selfish and on the top of boot licker. And one day perhaps everybody becomes a boot licker. Some of the minor issues that I have faced in this two months were related to general life like living and commuting problems, though at times they used to take a gigantic picture, But a few things that needs to be ponder upon areIs the world full of BOOTLICKERS???What does a person get by deceiving others???Who gives right to anyone to hurt others???And finally whatever we do as a part of corporate life (may be the work we do not like but we continue to do it, or anything else) why we do it???? Just for sake of some money and actually let our real person dies a ghost death.Is it right to compromise with your definition of life???These are some of the unanswered questions.Hope to find answers from you all.
Start of the blog....
Finally after thinking a lot I am starting my own blog.
What made me start the blog- I have got the habit of penning down my thoughts…. whether good or bad, but I never wanted to start my own blog. The main reason for this is that I want to be regular if I start the blog but I know it would be difficult.
Previously I posted two blogs on my friend’s blog when we were in the same college. But I know, this is not possible anymore as we have got very far from each other. Further, after getting into job, at times it is very difficult to maintain your creative spirit on. Hence I started penning down my feelings too frequent. When one of my friends made his own blog after reading it I thought let me also make the blog and try to be regular.
Ofcourse I will not be regular in the posting as no net connection at home with blog being blocked in office, I will definitely write something daily/
This will also improve my writing skills.
