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...

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...
