Things beyond understanding....

There are always some things that are beyond my understanding.

Among those things there is one thing that i haven't understand yet is why people run behind the money? Why they just want to earn more and more and more. But the normal trend is to earn but not to spend, sometimes even for basic needs, let alone for helping others. Why is this so? If someone can live comfortably in whatever (s)he is earning even though (s)he remains unsatisfied in monetary terms, always hungry for more. Everyone is eager to earn more and more, not thinking about what is actual purpose for earning. When you ask someone why they are earning, the most common response that you will get is something like...

• Earning to provide easy and comfortable life for family.

But while doing this people don't think that doing this makes them too much busy that they even don't have time for their family.Wants to have comfortable life, but they don't realize that in process of earning a comfortable life they are making it much more uncomfortable. There is a very true saying, "People loose their health in earning the money, and later loose the money to earn the lost health." And in this process the life passed on.People earn for their family, but due to this they have got their life so busy that won’t able to take out sufficient time for their own family which creates distances within family. Like there is a very common forward message which is touchy also, in which a child asks his father how much he earn per hour and then somehow arrange money and give it to his father asking for one hour just for himself.

In the process most of us lost our social life, if you ask someone who is working since last few years that how many friends (s)he have out of work and club(if (s)he has joined any). In most of the cases (s)he will take quite some time to think about it and then realizes that there isn't any one who can be termed as a friend. Those who really were friends are now lost somewhere in this race of survival known as life, leaving behind only those whom (s)he regularly meet mostly at work places or clubs. When people knows that there wasn't anything they brought in the world, and they wont take anything then they go, so why take too much pain in earning so much moolah and making it a big issue. Why dont they just make a line of a famous song as mantra of life "Khali haath aaye the hum khali haath jaayenge, bas pyaar k do mithe bol gungunayenge"

In saying all this i am not saying that just earn and spend, rather earn and spend to meet your needs, its not desirable to live life king size. But its not like that also that live like a poor when you can live and provide comfortable life for your loved ones without extending yourself beyond certain limits.

Life after IIT...

Whenever there is a separation its always painful. And it become even more painful when you separate from some one so close that you can consider him as a part of your soul. Same painful was the feeling during our last days in hostel. Each passing moment becoming heavier and heavier. Somehow the moment of separation passed and we all were out there in the sea known as corporate world. People use to say that this sea is a place where each big fish is trying to swallow smaller ones and grow, where each and every one is like crocodile trying to beat others and gain a lead, where there is no friendship just business relationship, where there isn't anyone to care just a lot of selfish persons who just want there work to be done and nothing else.
But after entering in this sea I found out that world is not like this. Some people are ofcourse crazy about the work but they wont pressurize someone that he buckles up, rather they put on pressure so softly that one even not realize, and found that the job is done and well on time. The biggest thing that I miss even after passing quite sufficient time here in job are those close friends. Although I found some good friends here with whom I share a lot of things but there are always some things that you can't share with everyone and for that you need these intimate friends, friends who are like part of your soul.

But anyways life has to go on and it does With or without your willingness, and everyone has to face it. Even through busyness somehow we manage to have a small get together with close friends within every 5-6 months. Although it lasts only for few days but those few days make you cheer for long time. The biggest positive thing of living in NCR is that its home of one of those friends and its stoppage for another whenever he goes to home.

The time passed with these people was always cheerful whether its our stay in hostel, or our department GOA trip in chilling winters, or its Manali trip around Holi or its trip to Vaishno Devi in summers, or its trip to Dehradun in monsoon. Now upcoming is another trip which we are looking forward enthusiastically, and will be updated here soon.

The unforgettable years...

It was July 21st of 2002 when through out the day I was too much enthusiastic about going to a dream place for mathematics students the IIT(s). Yes I got admission in IIT Delhi packed up and all set to leave in night for Delhi. It’s for the first time I was stepping out of home, entering to a new completely different world, where there won’t be mummy or papa or bhai or sister, but only strangers. When it was time to leave home come I found each step leading outside gets heavier and difficult. That time I felt why I cleared JEE, I don’t want others feel sad as I was leaving them. Although I know they want me to go for my better future only. The next day, my first day in the institute which was dream for many but a reality for me and some others. The place was very much welcoming new students, there was a cheerful atmosphere in hostels as of new students like me and many others. The seniors were too much enthusiastic specially the then II yearites, as of arrival of new fuchhas and they became senior. The first year thus started, with so called interaction with seniors, then a lot of hostel activities under various clubs and a lot of stuff. It was the time when studies took back seat. There were some who manage to keep up with studies but I was not among those people. The majors of first sem were worth remembering when I had to struggle very hard to clear a course, the night before its paper was unforgettable one. Although nothing much prepared I slept at around 12 with "jo hoga dekha jaayega attitude" Others were with score better than mine were fully awake and were amazed. Somehow I cleared that exams and found that my grades suffered too much, I got 5 pointer. This shock was enough for me to be careful in terms of studies for the coming semesters. And thus my CG keeps on improving. The time was passing at its own pace with some rememberable trips, occasions and moments. While entering I never thought that this would be the place where I will find the friends of life time. The friends with whom I shared some of the best moments of my life. Whether its playing volleyball or basketball or badminton specially during exam time at night or going for movies and coming late night walking straight from hall covering about 3-4 kms or trip to manali in last sem or even our after dinner walks, each and everything is very much rememberable. Somehow the time has passed and we come to final semester. The placement season has started, people were getting job where as there were some who failed everytime in interviews even after clearing all the rounds. But there was a hope which helps everyone to get the job sooner or later. Similar was the case with me as I was among the last 20% of the students who got placed on campus. Then there come the last day 16th May 2006, a day which no one of us had thought of till a few days ago. People were packing their stuff and moving ahead in life leaving behind the past, but it was ofcourse a difficult time for everyone as almost all of us had found some friends here in last 4 years. And atleast for me it was difficult to leave the friends and move ahead, but time can’t stop so we have to move on. The feeling and situation was again the same as it was 4 years ago when stepping out of home for the first time, just the place and people were changed. This time there wasn't any family member but there was another much larger family a family of friends between whom I had passed more then 75-80% of my life in those 4 years. It had become hard to step out of hostel leaving behind your friends but in my case it was somewhat easier as I was among last to leave the hostel, with the promise to the close friends to meet after one month and go for a trip with them to Vaishno Devi temple. Now even after almost 2 years, I still miss that part of life. Even though being in contact with friends I still miss them as being face 2 face has much more value than talking them on mails or chats or even phones.
I AM MISSING YOU ALL DOSTO.....
