JUST MOVING ON-75

I often face a lot of problems dealing with other people. One common accusation I face from others is that of being a hypocrite. But is it really so?
I don't think I am a hypocrite but yes it is true that I hold views that might be contradicting in nature at times. Before I start a full scale investigation into my personality and what's wrong with it,I don't think we can do away with the fact that I am a 21 year old person and it is but normal to hold contradictory views,as I'm ye to know the full picture of anything. Even Confucius said:At 15 I set my heart on learning,and by 30 I took my stand. So we have to wait a few more years in order to make my stand firm. What can be the factors for this contradicting views?
One very significant factor is that I still am in a learning phase. I am yet to face the many ups and downs of this life and thus am an inexperienced person,a novice. Now to expect an expert like behavior from a novice is a tough ask and I realize it. Take for instance,the career path. Of course,I am trying hard to get forward in life,and there have been moments of failure resulting in the feeling of huge disappointment. Now in order to beat that disappointment have to come up with some idea so that I don't fall in depression. I don't find a lot of people around me who support me,no matter what the case may be,but I have plenty who'll make fun of my failures. This is the main reason think it is better to make me look like a loser or someone with a very dirty mindset,so that I can be left alone for some time. This is a very negative thing to do,and probably worse that alcohol or drugs as my relationship with people could be on the line here..but I find it is an easy way.

All the problems I have in relationship to people around me including my parents and my brother are related to my career. On a personal front I have no problems with anyone. The only complain people have with me is that my words don't match with my actions and sometimes I am self contradictory,and I think it is deliberate from my side to make them think so. I am on the safe side as I don't indulge in such behavior with other people outside,but then the people on the outside have nothing to do with my career of failures regarding it! Thus if given a chance to spend some time with a person I know or with a total stranger,I'll pick up the stranger without a doubt. The stranger will have nothing to do with my past or future and we can have discussions with the present in mind. The problem with people you are acquainted with is that they always talk to you keeping in mind the past and often misunderstand you. There is no such problems with people you meet for the first time.

So is this a problem worth wasting my time upon?Not really,but I have to be quite careful while talking to people who already know me. They'll undoubtedly take me to be a hypocrite. Also I face a lot of trust issues . Somehow,I am not able to convince a lot people and often people doubt me. I can't name a lot of people who'd trust me,or have belief in me. I have become that story book character who brags a lot,nobody trusts him,and people make jokes behind his back!

But,amidst all this gloom,the positive out of the situation is that I don't take these things seriously. Someone cracking jokes on me is just like someone cracking jokes on someone else. I don't get hurt by these things. I see no insult I someone pointing my hypocrisy to me,but then I'm aware of the difference between facts and accusations. Anybody can crack jokes on me,in fact there are times I join them in making fun of me. One thing I'm absolutely clear about is that all these accusations or jokes are going to exist for a very short time. The moment I succeed in what I'm doing,all the criticism will subside and a new approach will await for me then!

Meanwhile,I am strong and brushing the allegations of being a hypocrite aside,I move forward. The life is too short to worry about the perceptions of other people,which otherwise are subject to change with time!


Whatever the case maybe,I love the character I play here,and will continue to do so as long as I'm here......

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...
