GOODBYE-2014


Today is the 31st of December 2014 and this year is about to end.For me personally,it was one of those years which you want to cherish.I graduated form college on one hand and managed to find some ways to earn money on the other.Moreover,with a peaceful mind and a healthy approach,I feel I'm a better person than I was an year ago.
I started this year on a positive note,with my studies going in a satisfactory direction and my life totally stable.I consolidated this situation with my devotion towards studies and a resolve not to indulge in any activity harmful to myself.The last semester of the college was always going to be a memorable one,and it was.I remember the good days we used to have in the college.We used to spent a lot of time in the winter sun,sometimes having tea in the canteen and sometimes discussing our lives,careers and politics.In the class too,the syllabus was not that difficult and being the last semester,we all were used to handling studies quite well.It was not much of a worry anymore.The last days at our college were spent recounting the good days we had together and how we were going to remember that in the future.

Then it was May,the semester was over and with the final exams finished, our association with the college too was over.We were no longer college students.There was no regular going to college and we were supposed to move forward to the next thing.The results were out in June and with that it was confirmed that we graduated.After that,I sat for two exams in order to get into a Msc program,but unfortunately I could not make it to the merit list.So I planned to sit down for an year and then appear for the various exams next year.I anticipated it though.I was already planning what I'll be doing in the year long break.
I picked up a home tuition in the very month of June with the sole objective of killing some time interacting with the students and teaching them concepts and making money doing the same.It is a satisfying job experience.You get to learn teaching techniques,people respect you for what you do and you can make good money out of it,if seriously working.For me it was never about the money.But working there has instilled a sense of confidence in me.When you get your first salary it always feels good.You start feeling that finally people appreciate your hard work.Before that,my teaching experience was limited to my brother,whom i taught for two years and a few colleagues of mine whom I helped if I know something they did not.It was the first time in life I earned some money and of course it was special.So then I picked up some home tuition,and made a study plan for the coming months.I was planning to study for the IIT exam,which is not a piece of cake,and requires rigorous study.I am still preparing for the same and it will be two months,before I know whether I succeed or not.I ad a plan and I divided my study time into weeks.I had planned to study on a weekly basis and followed the schedule,which is being followed these days as well.

Meanwhile,as I had cleared the CDS exam,earlier in February,I had an opportunity to appear for the AFSB interview at varanasi.It was my maiden interview and it was really amazing to be there.I learnt a lot of things in there,and probably the next time I might succeed!I did not appear for any other exam as I think it might be an unwelcome distraction to my studies.Right now I am focused on only one thing,which is the entrance exams for MSc.

I have grown up personally too as I don't think I am the same person I was an year ago.I have developed a lot of understanding,confidence and compassion for people around me.I don't go sulking after people,and I don't feel the world is bad anymore.I have to live here,until my time comes.I have accomplished a few little things in this year which provide a source of happiness and yes I think this year was a successful year for me.As I end this year,I hope the next year too brings with it a lot of hope and success for me.May I be more compassionate towards people,may I succeed in the task I perform.These are the only wishes I have from the upcoming year.

Goodbye 2014 ,welcome 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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...
