JUST MOVING ON-64

I have been sitting home for the past few months and I feel there has been a lot of change in my day to day life.I was not used to this kind of lifestyle and it has really been an interesting experience trying to get into this new kind of routine.These days I get up in the morning,then start my day with some study and then try to study for as many hours as I can.

I think I should write up my day to day activity which will serve as a reminder in the future.I am having a lot of happy days nowadays.So starting it up,as I already mentioned,I get up early in the morning and start studying.Before that I do some sort of exercise,for a few minutes to get warmed up and fire up the muscles.It is necessary as otherwise I'll feel sleepy for a few more hours into the day!Tea is a staple for me and I usually sip up to 7 cups a day.So its not unusual for me to start my day with a cup of tea.After tea and exercise,I used to go through the newspapers but I have stopped it now,I was bored of them.Also I don't want to start my day reading criminal stories.I then pick up my books and start studying.

I manage to squeeze around 2 hours during the mornings.Then at around 1100,I get up for the bath and some TV viewing.I finish bath and lunch in about an hour and by 1200,I am ready for study again.But then inertia steps in,and I end up sitting and doing nothing.Sometimes I watch TV,sometimes i read some other book,sometimes I listen to music.Then the time period between 1300-1600 is also meant for me to study.But I end of studying for an hour or so in this period.Then at 1600 I have my tea and then I get to the next time period which is 1630-1730.I sometimes study during this time sometimes I don't.Then I get out for some time,preferably to my local market to see a few faces,the crowd and to have some street food.I return around 1830 and then have tea and then I sit down in front of my computer,browse the Internet and do things related to it.During that time it is almost impossible to study and I can get quiet environment only after 2000,so I study for an hour there too.At 2100,it is time for news and then dinner.After that I read something for the bedtime.I generally get to the bed at around 2230 but manage to sleep at only about 2300.Then I get 8 hours of sleep to get up at around 0700 the next day and continue my cycle once again.

But,I have been teaching a few students in the meantime as well,so on those days that I have tuition,the schedule gets tweaked a little bit and I have to study a little bit myself as well,before I go to them.At most the tuition take up about 5 hours of my time but generally it does not meddle with my study schedule as I have free time between 1500 and 2000.The stress due to these tuition,although small in magnitude,sometimes casts me into trouble and I end up getting distracted.But then I ascertain that my priority is to study myself and these tuition only are there to kill some time and make money doing it,so it does not have to play a significant part in my life.

My exams are approaching fast and I don't have any other option but to clear them with a good rank.I have  a lot of confidence,have studied the subjects but still there is some sort of fear related to failure which lurks inside my mind.This gets me down sometimes but I have managed to control it to a level that it doesn't impact my preparation.As they mention it often in the tips,we are supposed to have a lot of self confidence,have healthy food,study a lot.I am doing all of that lets see if I succeed or not.

These few months have been a learning experience for me.Personally I have gained a lot while some important opportunities have been lost owing to my negligence.I have managed to control my emotions to some extent,my mouth still needs a lot of control.I have build up a lot of self respect,but then it needs to be kept in check otherwise,I might end of like one of those self obsessed fellows who care for none.At times my behaviour seems like one of those,but I don't have anything to gain from people.

I have been following the path satisfactorily and have made fewer mistakes.But still,there is a long way to go and I have to do a lot of hard work in order to move forward.I'm committed to 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

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
