JUST MOVING ON-55

I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.There is no other option.Sometimes I have to yell these words to me so that I don't lose track.Well,as I planned to drop an year and prepare for the examinations in the subsequent year,I expected there will be some low points.There will be moments when I lose motivation and question my decision altogether!

This kind of feeling has its roots in self doubt.But if self doubt is the negative thing,the positive analogue of it should be self belief.I have belief in myself,but sometimes distracted by others' opinions,some amount of doubt settles in.Then I start thinking 'realistically' which translates to reduction of extra amount of self confidence or I should say extra confidence!The notification,for the exams I'm preparing is out,6 months in advance and there is no better time than right at this moment to visualise the goal.I have to clear the exam,there is no other alternative.I personally killed all other alternatives to concentrate on one thing and one thing only!So one might imagine what I should be feeling when even an iota of self doubt settles in.

The preparation,although substantial has not been up to the mark and I have to admit that.I managed to study around 84 hours in the last entire month when I should have been getting at least 40 per week!A success rate of 50% only.It's not that I did not have the time or motivation but I lacked a proper plan.Now with a colleague of mine,I managed to put up a plan for the remaining 20 weeks or so,and which will direct my preparations as well.I have the ideas,motivation as well as plenty of time.Now I need books,a lot of them with a lot of questions.

Having a distraction free mind is the key and so far I've not been able to do so satisfactorily,and paid the price.Now I have the opportunity to apply the control techniques I've learnt in the past year and then get the expected results.If I manage to succeed this time,a lot of credit definitely will go to the teachings which changed or I should say revolutionised my life.I had problems earlier and could not help but worry about them constantly.I still have problems,of a lower magnitude though,and the added benefit is that I don't have to worry about them at all.A unique calm has engulfed my mind and whatever might be the situation I don't lose myself.Although my social interaction has been far from normal,but I have taken it to be a habit so no worries in this lifetime,at least.My interactions will be far from normal and I don't have any complains as such.

A proper study schedule was the need of the hour,I got it,A few books are being arranged and soon I'll start rolling.Still,even a little bit of self doubt is harmful for the health and I'll be very cautious in the future;when talking to persons who induce self doubt in me.I have confidence,will and the resources to succeed and I can't accept self doubt ruining it for me.All luxuries can be suspended and all pleasurable moments will have to wait at least a few months.I don't expect them to be easy or comfortable but I have to work hard in order to succeed.This is what has been done until now,this is what will be done in the next few months although efforts need to be multiplied greatly.

The thing I'm aiming for is not hard to attain for one who is willing to work hard.Things will always be difficult for lazy ones and often sometimes one of them pops up and says-hey you know what,I don't think you can do this!!!!!
The first thing I have is anger then I have pity and then after a few milliseconds I forget he even said that.All these actions take a couple of seconds but sometimes the anger doesn't recede and then I have huge amount of self doubt all due to the lazy man!or is it due to me?Of course I need self control,a lot of it because ultimately I'm the one being a subject here!

A calm mind,a clear view of the future and having enough resources wit me I will work harder and harder till I succeed.This is my resolve and I can do it.

NAGALAND: FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Not too many people have Nagaland in their bucket list. Uncomfortable roads, poor transport system and a lot of corruption are a few factors which contribute to it. Added to it the stories of still active insurgency, Nagaland although an extremely beautiful hill state doesn’t manage to have a lot of tourism going on except for the Hornbill festival in December every year. But, my case is slightly different. Affinity towards the culture of the entire North east, plus a desire to visit not to tourist frequented places made Nagaland a definite must go. So, when I got time and saved some money, I immediately planned a trip to the beautiful hilly state with my girlfriend. The Nagaland express Since, th is was my second trip towards the hills of the North east, I was more confident and familiar with the sytem than the previous time. We booked a filght to Guwahati and from there we took a train to Dimapur aptly named : The ”Nagaland Express”. This...

IIT-JAM,असफलता के बाद आगे बढते हुए............

19 मार्च का दिन था।हम सब परिणाम का इंतजार कर रहे थे।तभी मेरे मित्र ईशान का फोन आया कि परिणाम आ चुके हैं और उसने मात्र ५ अंक प्राप्त किए हैं।मैं आश्चर्य चकित था कि जब इसने इतना बुरा प्रर्दशन किया है तो मेरा क्या हुआ होगा।मैं झट से दौड़कर अपना परिणाम भी देखने पहुँचा,और पाया कि मेरी रेैन्क भी उम्मीद से काफी कम मात्र ११५७ रह गई।थोड़ा झटका तो जरूर लगा पर चूंकि सफलता की आस कुछ वक्त पहले उस मित्र से बात कर के लगभग समाप्त सी हो गई थी,तुरंत ही उस झटके से  उबर भी गए।मेरा एक और दोस्त भी साथ था,उसकी रैन्क मेरे से बेहतर करीब ५०० थी।थोडी खुशी हुई पर उसकी भी दाखिला लेने की संभावना काफी कम है,ऐसा हमें कुछ देर बाद पता चला। तुरंत ही पिछला एक साल आँखों के सामने खड़ा सा हो गया।मन में आया कि इतनी पढाई कर के भी सफलता हाथ न लगी। कहीं वक्त बरबाद तो नहीं हो गया? कहीं हम गलत रास्ते तो नहीं चल दिए?  फिर अपने मन को समझाते हुए मैं घर पहुँचा,तो यह पाया कि मेरी सफलता असफलता का प्रभाव  मेरे प्रियजनों पर ज्यादा नहीं पड़ता।मैंने भी औपचारिक तौर पर यह बता दिया कि इस बार भी नहीं हो पाया।फिर अपनी किताबे...

JUST MOVING ON-17

Before I begin I want to confess that I don't have an expertise on philosophical concepts and ideas.Most of the things I say have no relevance or relation with respect to the existing ideas at the present.I may sound stupid and this is the reason I don't make my ideas public until I'm fully convinced.It's more like a kitchen kind of thing.You don't take your cooked meal out until you are convinced about the taste whatever be the ingredients! So now let's begin with what I intend to put here.I won't go round and round as I think matters are more clear in concise form.Whatever we do has a definite cause and will have a definite result,this is what we are taught from the very beginning but as we grow old and educated and things become much clear ,we start questioning this kind of thought.Some of us have a strong belief in religion and most of the time the answers are clear from a religious point of view as we introduce God everywhere we find things hard to ex...
