Job life..it is..

So I left the realms of my college and entered the so called professional life ....sure it is professional..
The changes are stark and at times threatening....Though the ppl are good and supporting but the perceptions have changed. No more you remain a kid whose ignorance is inncocence...Every word you speak ..every question you ask .. every answer you give..becomes an instrument of your appraisal.. No longer you can make a silly error and escape..the accountability is too high and so is the mechanism for judging...
But as the saying goes .. a silver lining accompanies every thunderstorm .. so is the case here ..
The responsibilities endowed upon you gives a new meaning to life..The sheer pressure of working upto the expectations and to supersede them is enthralling. I seem to gain a new sense of respect for my capabilities. The power to create unique stuff from scratch .. to make things work .. to change things....contributing in my own special way to the functioning of the world is really amazing. Being a part of an organisation and working in unison to achieve the larger objectives simply makes you feel proud..
The job gives you an opportunity to create a niche for yourself in this vast dynamic world. This provides the kick to get going. I look forward to gain from this vast institution i.e. life...

End of a phase..marks a new beginning..

Today we had our last exam of B.Tech. It feels tht a lot more than jst xams has come to an end.
The last four years i spent at IIT Roorkee have been one of the most memorable years of my life so far. With these xams a realisation has dawned upon me ....the one I was still tryin to avoid...yes its time. Its time to pack off your bags and move on to different destinations for fate has determined our lives. I feel intensely helpless ..why cant the time stand still, why cant I reverse the time .. why cant it let me hav the pleasures for ever. As they say Time reigns supreme. In a few days I ll bid adieu to the closest of my pals, to this place which had been my home for four years. This moment reminds me of the various wonderful moments I spent with my frnds doing all sorts of mischieves. I remember the forging of bonds with complete strangers.

An incident which I would like to share, which changed my life so much and gave me a group of frnds I have no words for. We were standing in a queue...queues which are so common and i met two of my best frnds .. Ravi and Divye. That day we roamed about in the campus ..without caring about the seniors, visited all the places and returned back. Till then we didnt even knew the names of each other. Finally Divye put this at night..."ab hame ek doosre ka naam pooch hi lena chahiye" ..n we had a gud laugh over that. So much for our desire to form new relations.
So many of such small..yet momentous moments mark the eventful journey of four years at Roorkee.

From the day I came till date every moment has been filled with pleasure and fun. The memories are deeply entrenched into the core of my heart which I ll never ever forget.
More than anything else its the frnds that i made here tht will bind me to this place.
I shared lots of things with my pals and got so much love in return tht i never felt like living far away from home. I hope these strands of friendship remain as strong as ever for the rest of my life to come :) .

College life... life never ll be same again...


Yeh Degree bhi lelo, Yeh Naukri bhi lelo,
Bhale mujhse lelo woh US ka Visa,
Magar mujhko lauta do college ka canteen,
Woh TeeKha Samosaa, Woh thanda saaa paani,
Woh Teekha Samosa, Woh thanda saaa paani…..
Woh College ki sabse - purani nishaanee,
Woh chai vaalaa jisko - saare kehte the... jaani
Woh jaani ke hathon - ki 'cutting' chai meethi,
Woh chup-kese journal - mein jo bheji thi chitthi,
Woh padhte hi chitthi - tha uska bhadakna,
Woh chehre ki laali, woh aankhon kaa gussaa
Woh teekha samosa, woh thanda saaa paani………..
Kadi dhoop mein - apni room se nikalnaa,
Woh project ki Khatir - tha dar dar bhataknaa ,
Woh lecture mein doston - ki proxy lagaanaa,
Woh sir ko chidana, aeroplane udaanaa,
Woh submission ki raton - ko jagna jagaanaa,
Woh vivas ke kisse, woh pracs ki kahani....
Woh teekha samosa, woh thanda saaa paani………
Woh dena Bimaari - ka har time bahana
Woh doosron ka assignment - ko apnaa banana,
Woh seminar ke din - pairon ka chat-patanaa,
Woh workshop mein din bhar - pasinaa bahanaa,
Woh slogans banana - aur Gym me rakhadna,
Phir Exam ke din ko – tha bechain hona,
Woh teekha samosa, woh thanda saaa paani……..
College ki thi - woh lambi si raatein,
Woh doston se tapre pe - pyaari si Baatein,
Woh gathering ke din ka – jo ladnaa Jhagadnaa;
Woh kudiyon ka yuhin - hamesha akadnaa;
bhulaaye nahin bhool sakta hai koi -------
Woh college, woh baatein, woh guzara jamana…
Woh teekha samosa, Woh thanda saaa paani…….
Woh teekha samosa, Woh thanda saaa paani...

Life..a dilemma !!!

What is life??
It feels tht life is a plethora of contradictions.....bringing bursts of laughter at times ..
and moments of despair at other ..thts why it is life so unpredictable ..so undependable...
Sitting right now u cant think wht ll be my nxt step...coz u dont kno ..how n in wht manner life unfolds itself infront of you...
U feel an immense urge to kow wht lies in your future as if a peek in the future is the solution of all ur sufferings and maladies...u feel tht knowin future u cn control ur destiny...but again the question comes wht is your destiny? is destiny a tangible and pre determined destination which u ll reach eventually or is it jst another of those abstract concept which leaves u with more questions than answers...u dont know n u may not ever get to kno coz once u reach there..ther ll be nothin left to kno..thts the dead end...
lookin again into wht it would be if u cn see wht lies ahead...it ll create whirwinds into ur life..it can change the course of ur life ... u ll be able to modify ur actions in tune with the foresight ..but will it happen ..coz if it happens than it ll contradict wht u saw... isnt it strange how u cm bk round circle ..with nothin worthwhile in ur hands. Predicting sm tradgedy is another sad facet of this possibility...
On the contrary ..it looks like "ignorance is bliss".. more u kno more is the turbulence generated in the pacified ocean of life...Life with all its uncertainities is a life worth living...
the vagaries inherent in its nature is what makes life worth living....

Life Rocks when u rock!!!

Life Rocks when u rock!!!
Today the second day of Thomso ..our cultural fest..
Enthralled by the beats..with music oozing out of ur body....n u r tryin to assimilate every ounce of it ...to take u away from the realms of the world..in to a place where its only u and the music...an eternal bliss...

An awesome experience.. my sis's marriage


Marriage for me till now was a 5 min clip in some odd movie ... but 2day as i come bk after sister's marriage.. i realise it as a union of not jst two persons but creating a bond between two families, uniting together two cultures.. establishing a plethora of new relations..
The last three days of my life have given me an insight into how life transforms itself within a moment bringing alongwith the much cherished serendipities...
The rituals and traditions lookin strange at times.. have a unique mesmerising effect on the human psyche. Without even being aware of the nitty-gritties of the events u tend to fall for them cherishing n rejoicing every ounce of it..
The cheers and laughter, that each moment is accompanied with, will form a golden chapter in the repertoire of my memories...
