JUST MOVING ON-68


For the last 8 months,I have been sitting at home,studying for the entrance exams.As the exams are over for the time being,I feel lonely and work less these days.I get bored easily on account of this.It has been almost a week since I opened any book or did anything meaningful.I have been sitting,the only active work being going to the tuition classes 4-5 days a week.With the academic year about to end,this too will halt for the time being.

As I was studying for an entrance exam,I had a study plan.If I manage to clear the exams,I'll be very happy about the success of my plan while if I don't I'll feel sorry about wasting time for so long.Frankly speaking,once you fail everything you did in the way appears wrong and everything you did not do hurts.But whatever,whether I succeed or fail,one thing is clear and it is that I managed to kill a lot of time doing some work or the other.Initially,I framed up a study schedule and managed to follow it till the end.I had a lot of syllabus and plenty of time to cover that over and over again.I studied for 4 months at a go,devoting two weeks to every unit of the syllabus.And as soon as I finished that,I started doing questions a lot of them.It took almost 8 weeks and I was looking at the exam 1 week away.It was a crunch time.Sometimes I felt like time was passing too fast,sometimes I felt like doing nothing but studying.Whatever,I spent a lot of time studying for the past few months.If I fail there will be some disappointment but it does not matter much.Afterall,one exam is nothing.


The thing is that,at one hand I was studying 8-9 hours a day,and these days I am down to zero.This sudden change is hard to adapt myself to,but I have to be this way for the next two months at least.I will of course utilize time to study some thing or the other,but then I don't have any academic commitments as of now and it is really frustrating.I am waiting anxiously for the results to be declared.I have a hunch that I won't be able to make it!Yet,there is a feeble chance of making it and this is the reason I am anxious.


The TV doesn't entertain anymore,I have a ,lot of books with me but there needs to be constant motivation to read a particular book.I have some religious books to which I read occasionally.These books provide much needed calmness and hope these days.I am facing failures one after the other.I hope the point where I'll start succeeding is not far from here.


Inactivity which was boring me a few months ago,has sadly returned to my life and I'm thinking of ways to beat it now.I plan to visit some outstation places once the academic year is over.I have collected some money which I'll use to visit the outstation places in the coming days.There are a lot of places to visit.I have a long list of places to visit,so I'll start this year.Then I have to secure admission to some university this year.I f I don't it will be the end of road for me.Then I have to stop dreaming and start compromizing,which I think will be hellish for me.I have not prepared myself for a compromizing life ahead thus I think,it will a horror if I am forced to do so.

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...
