JUST MOVING ON-60


These days,I've been working more than I usually do,so there have not been a lot of moments when I felt bored.I've been progressing with my studies as expected but there is some amount of doubt in the mind regarding my preparations.I don't test myself often so it is unclear whether I've prepared enough or not.

Time has been passing smoothly,the only thing is that the more I try to control it,the faster it appears to fly.For the past 4 months or so,i've been at home,studying but there has not been a single day when I could say well,I've got nothing to do today.Some day or the other comes across when I sit down for hours just thiking and planning and not doing some 'substantial' work,but all this is a part of life.Now as I've not more than 3 months to prepare for the exams,I feel there is still a lot of work to do and I might lag behind.I have joined a research project and for the past month,I have been working towards it as well,although it does not take a significant amount of my time.I have enough time to study,and recreate.Its just that,the free time I used to spend at my home,is being used working/studying at the lab.The tuitions I picked up a few months back,have almost ended.But I don't feel anyting bad about it at all.In fact,I took up these tuitions to utilize time is a constructive way,in the first place,so now if I can use up that time in the lab,does it bother me?No way!Although I can't 'earn' money now,for some days at least,but money making has never been my priority!

On a personal front too,I have been a lot busy these days.i travel for almost 3 hours on a daily basis,sometimes I study some book on my way,sometimes just kill the time.In the lab we usually spend entire day,sometimes studying sometimes learning the techniques which might,in the future help me in my research career ahead.At home,I usually study for lesser hours these days,and that is a matter of concern.In the past year,which was my final year of college,I spent quite some time daily studying at home.In the college library too,I used to study often.This resulted in rise of my percentage in the final year.Of course,hard work always pays and I have been a witness to it quite a lot of times.

I feel happy that the mental turmoil which was dominating my character a few years ago has slowly receded and I can calmly face the situations of life.I have a lot of expectations from me and slowly I'm realizing a lot of other people do expect from me as well.All of us,being apart of the society have to rise up to the expectations,and I'm no different.This sort of thinking gives a meaning to the hard work we do on a daily basis,I feel.Otherwise,there can be no motivation for others to work hard and succeed in life.I although don't interact with a lot of persons,still there is a feeling inside me to work for the welfare of the society we live in,for me that is enough.I don't think anyting beyond this.

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

FIRST TRIP TO THE NORTH EAST-MIZORAM

Around 7 years ago during the final year of my school, I read a book about the various tribes of the north East India. Already fascinated by a place so serene, yet unexplored and heard stories of the people inhabiting those lands, the book generated in me a desire to visit the places as soon as possible. The author of that book visited the entire North East as a part of his assignment for All India Radio (AIR) during the 1970s and the way he described those tribes and the places, a strong desire arose inside of me to visit these places and see for myself how beautiful that land is, how well mannered those people are! It is aptly called the 'unexplored paradise' as I discovered. But the idea materialized only in March, when financially empowered by a scholarship from ISRO, and constantly motivated by my best friend (who could not resist travel, and hence accompanied me!), I planned to visit Mizoram. Why Mizoram? There is a particular thing about the mizos, and if asked com

TRIP TO HARIDWAR AND RISHIKESH

A trip to places like Haridwar and Rishikesh is always a source of peace,joy and spirituality and when we went to these places this month, it was no different.We had some free time and I along with my two other friends decided to visit Haridwar as well as Rishikesh for a short 4 day trip.As I had spent my childhood in a nearby town,naturally these places were well travelled by me . Day-1:Bus to Haridwar We got up early in the morning,at around 0445,hurriedly got dressed up,called each other and ran off to the ISBT at kashmiri gate to catch an early bus to Haridwar.I was extremely careful to catch the bus as early as possible because of the traffic at the border growing up a few hours later.We expected to catch the bus at around 0700,but as it always happens,we were delayed by around 30 minutes and managed to board the bus as 0730.It was a smooth journey,early in the morning a lot of fresh air poured in,later as it was not too hot,we enjoyed riding the bus in the bri
