Transformers and transformations of my life

So getting back to my journey (ok I promise you all this would be last time I would be talking of me!!!!!!!!).When I got NIT Raipur as my college, the happiest person in this world was……..not me, neither my mother……it was MY FATHER because now he won’t have to send his dear daughter away from him. Starting from the day my result was declared till the day I got a seat in Raipur he used to tell me the advantages of studying in Raipur.

LIKE

Ø I’ll not have to live in a hostel, away from them.

Ø The environment will be homely for me in this college as we had a family friend working in the college as Professor so I could take his help whenever I needed.

Ø And above all I would be a B.TECH instead of a B.E after 4 years……..

So like a good and obedient daughter I finally became an NITIAN.And my studies started. Here in college I always tried to be a sincere student (Let me mention that my sincerity really costed me much sometimes!!!!!!!!!).And then it was exam time.My first exam of college.I really faired well in all my exams and…… tell you all something I used to assure my parents saying”You don’t worry I’ll be among the toppers of the class as I thought that I am the ruler of this world and everything(atleast from now!!!!!!!)will happen as I think.But again I don’t need to mention that nothing happened like that.Topper?????????? I could not count my rank in the class (Although my marks were quite good).And I certainly did not want to start counting from the end.Only then I realised that I’m among the rulers of many worlds……..rather many rulers of the world.

Towards the end of my first semester I had started understanding that I’m not here just for scoring marks but to strengthen my practical and theoritical knowledge.And when the second semester was approaching its end I had already left my typical “TOPPER’S MENTALITY”.I never in my life was in favour of mugging up everything and vomit it out in exams and this habit helped me a lot in my college.Theory seemed to be easy to me because of practicals(and of course vice versa of it is also true!!!!!!).

And guess what?????????during all these times I saw myself enjoying myself,………my college………..and most importantly my branch!!!!!! I had totally become an electrician…..Whenever any electrical appliance had to be repaired……..I used to search my part in it….wire broken had now become open circuit for me………and to fix this problem means to short circuit it to provide a path for current to flow !!!!!!!!! Isn’t that great!!!!!!!!

And there’s one thing more I have to mention in special……….and that is my classmates……..Anybody can work properly and efficiently only when he has an environment favourable and comfortable for him .And I thank God for providing me this.During my one and a half year way I discovered some very good friends……..who are supportive and co-operative and encouraging(……..and all good adjectives of this world till now accepted in English dictionary!!!!!!!). I did lots of masti lots of fun and spent (actually spending) the great and best days of my life(so its my SUMMER OF 69!!!!!).I sometimes silently thank my Father and Mother for making me do what was the best for me.

I still remember once in Bhopal when I was alloted this seat and college I asked my cousin who went with me for my counselling “Bhaiya what do you think?Is this college and branch good for me??????” And he had replied”Take my words……..After one year you would be arguing with me that electrical is the best branch”.And that’s what happening guys!!!!!! Now the scenario is that I keep coaxing (Actually irritating!!!!!!) my brother who is in class 12th saying “Bhai Electrical is an evergreen branch………………think dude!!! its a mother branch……… So keep two things in your mind while you go for your counselling

Ø No state or college is inferior or superior.Its the way you take it.So have no preconceive notions in your mind about any college or place

Ø And………..just go for ELECTRICAL BRANCH wherever you find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the funda is no one knows what tommorow’s gonna be like………hence live life to its fullest……..

And just believe in one thing………(But before that I want to assure you all………. I am not transforming into a PHILOSOPHER!!!!!!!!!!!)

ü God never gives you the thing you want……..but he provides you with the thing you actually NEED.

Young India and the social change it can drive

When most countries in the world are experiencing ageing problem, India is lush with about 65% of its population below 35 years of age. The youth in India has emerged to be a great force marking its presence in politics, economy, science, civil services and many such important avenues. I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said that there could never be a better time to be ‘young’ in India. People could write at lengths about the positive changes that the Young India engenders but still there are some important avenues that need our immediate attention. If Wikipedia were to be believed, India’s charity index ranks 91 st in the list of 140 countries and the United States of America, 2 nd . The list of most Philanthropic people in the world starts with Bill Gates, an American, and features many more like Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg etc. There does appear an Indian in the list, Azim Premji ranked at no. 4, just one Indian in the list of twenty. India never lacked rich people; still ...

LOST........

This new poem of mine depicts the disappointment that gets associated with the failures in life.... My life is completely lost around me, is mist and frost. The life which once was bright is now just pale and white. Some challenges that I had to meet, some promises I needed to keep are now seeming too far away cos its my luck that has to play. I had to keep a promise I made to my mother as I once said, "Mom you'll one day be proud of me" that pride in her eyes is all I wanted to see. All I wanted is to spread my wings "I'll touch horizons" I used to think. Whom my father would look and cry "That's my daughter touching the sky". There were people all around me 'A loser' in me they see. I had a challenge to prove them wrong and break the jinx that existed so long. I wished to be a reason for them to smile those people with whom I went miles. with whom no sadness was ever allowed I just wished them to feel proud. I had reasons so many to s...

Where CRY means smiles :)

Image
It was the end of November and it was ‘that time’ of the year. Every year I would save up all my holidays for my annual visit to my home country, India. As expected, I had a full agenda during my visit. Meet all the relatives, eat street food everyday, attend a friend’s wedding and do lots of shopping, the regular roster. This year however, I had another item in my to-do list. Ever since I started working for CRY in Seattle and learnt that they have a project in my home state Chhattisgarh, I had made up my mind to visit the project, the next time I went to India and now was the time. I was really looking forward to the visit! So having coordinated all the plan with my friends at CRY, I was all set-up to visit Gram Mitra Samaj Sevi Sanstha (GMSSS) project in Kartala block of Korba district in Chhattisgarh, Here is what I expected my day would look like and how it actually turned out to be EXPECTATION REALITY Leave the origin ...
