JUST MOVING ON-63


For the past few months,as I graduated from college,I have been busy providing home tuitions to students.Although I have limited myself to just 2,it still consumes a lot of my time.Nobody has forced me into this,and of course if I have to succeed in this life and beyond I have to learn to work hard.

College was a different ball game altogether.We had pressure but we had equally funny ways to overcome it!We'd come up with ideas ranging from ridiculous to stupid,and it used to be all fun even amidst pressure.Here in real life,things are different.Nobody comes with any ideas here,we have to figure everything out ourselves.Working for 5 continuous hours and returning home on a chilly evening,all tired but nobody there to hear your problems!Yes it is the real life,and it gets tough with time.I have to get used to it,for the long run.

I have to study in the meantime as well and it is supposed to be my top priority.I have just entered the part where we have to maintain a perfect work study balance.I can't commit myself to either of them looking at the circumstances and I am talking about a few years from now.People have been doing that for years and I'm no different.I have to get used to such life.There is a lot of stress and the least I can do is to ignore it.I don't have a nature of victimizing myself,and thus I am all happy and cheerful when someone meets me.Stress is a part of life and we have to bear it.I have reduced a lot of factors contributing to the same,but the stress on the body and the mind for working long hours,can't be reduced,not at the moment.And by acknowledging it,I can do a lot good to myself.The body stress can easily be eliminated by a good sleep at night and as far as mental stress is concerned,I have enough ways to relax myself. I have a habit of traveling and spending time with people on sundays.It charges me up and proves to be a good time killer for the weekends.I often feel lonely though as I don't have a lot of immediate friends.Sometimes I just want to talk about myself,my aspirations,ideas etc but find no one interested.My parents are different kind of persons,not the ones I'd like to share my aspirations with,for sure.Then I am left with myself and often write down a lot of things which works quite well.

Time changes continuously and with that our perceptions change too.In fact everything changes,with time.I did not imagine I'd be here doing the things I am doing these days.But the key thing is that I was aware of the present and I'm still aware of my present.This is the most important thing,I think,if we talk about our day to day lives.There is so much to care for in the present that we don't need to waste time feeling guilty about the past.A few months back,I used to blame myself over a lot of things,as I felt I did a lot of wrong things,but what was I losing?I was losing an opportunity to live in,and enjoy the present which was guilt free of course.Now I do understand this,and thus one can't find me crying over the mistakes done in the past.

Now almost 6 months have passed since I finished college,there are around 6 more months before I join the next one,and in the meantime I have a lof of exams to appear in.This month has almost passed,and I'm through with almost the entire syllabus I assigned to myself.The only thing that has been lacking is my lack of enough practice.But if I manage to clear the exams,it won't be much of an issue.On the other side,it will be something extremely disappointing if I don't do.I aspire to become a scientist one day working in the best of science labs here,and if I don't manage to secure the admission I'll be forced to take up things I don't want to.I will eventually adapt but it will be a long and painful procedure,undesirable for sure.I have a habit of looking at the bright side,and I definitely hope to secure a good rank in the IIT-JAM coming ahead.When I'll do it,there will be a
lot to celebrate.I will have the opportunity to follow my dreams and then I can march towards success.Until then,even though I manage to sneak in tiny bits and pieces of pleasure but deep within there is a lot of restlessness indeed,which I can't reveal to anyone!

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
