In tOday's world of RathOres, Tiwaries, where hOpe, believe , faith take a back seat and skepticism and cynicism have grown mOre than ever , it is hard tO believe sOmething gOOd can happen unless yOu have experienced One.
My jOurney fOr hOme during winter vaccatiOn was at a shOrt nOtice . SO , I cOuld nOt get a cOnfirmed seat. I was traveling On a wait listed ticket . I just packed my bag in 30 minutes and left for the train . In haste I fOrgot to take blanket . Anyway I sat a seat meant fOr Rsc . Initially,when train started everything was comfortable .
But as night grew , sO did the cOld. Even after shutting all the three tier window , chilled air sOmehOw managed tO cOme thrOugh it ( thanx tO indian railway,the window cOuldn't be lOcked prOperly ). All Other passenger were sleeping in the warm cOmfort of their blanket.I was literally shivering in all the cOldplay . Suddenly something unexpected happened . One fellOw passenger got up .He saw me in that cOndition .He was appalled . He tOOk the bOther tO OPen his suit case , tOOk Out a blanket and offered me.
It was really a feel gOOd thing . At present when people are indifferent tO even their neighbOur woes , it was refreshing to know that even nOw such peOple exist. it was really a ' Pay It FOrward ' mOment . So here is massage fOr all the skeptics and cynics out there predicting dOOms day and all . Till there are such peOple nOyhing like dOOmsday will ever happen . After all God can't be that crazy . So always hOpe and believe in best .
PS better late than never "Happy 2O1O" .

Reticence : Evil or Good

Of late I have seen and read much on the importance of expression . Express yourself has been the Tag line of Airtel , one of the leading telecommunication company . But is it necessary to express ? I beg to differ . Everyday , we meet almost a fixed number of people . We exchange pleasantries ,the formal hi , hello , bye etc . We say good morning , shake hand and many other things . Words like all the best , congrats have become part and parcel of modern lingua . These are uttered , even when we mean otherwise , although it is not the case always . Many time congratulatory messages are said with well intended meaning . Some of us tend to feel offended , if they are not wished say for example on birthdays .
Let us not go into debate that it is right or not . Every individual has his own thinking . I just want to present my case here . I am not the kind of individual who believe in such kind of ritual . Of course , I also want that my friends , well wishers always succeed in their venture . I , too feel delighted when they achieve something . Only thing is I am reticent . I believe that if they know me well enough ,they wont' mind it . And , If because of my reticence somebody has been offended , I am really sorry . So , next time if you are venturing to achieve something , remember there is one who is always wishing you the best .
PS aal izz weel.

Happy HOlidays

Hi ! It is time of fest and festivities . Eid has gone by and Dussehra is knocking . So , just I was thinking about the Different kind of Gods , and need of multiple God .The denouement was pretty interesting . Each God has HIs own specialities and qualities like us human . And we can idolioze any God we like . Let take the example of Lord Ganesha . Glutton can always look towards Him . But He is very Intelligent and God of intelligence , too .Similarly , Lord Shiva is the perfect idol for youth who likes a bit to indulge in drinking and smoking . Lord Krishna may be the impeccable example for Romeos , Lord Rama for a normal human being . Thus God have also idiosyncrasies and foibles . So , what are we human ! But what make them God is the fact that they are perfect in at least one qualities . So , We human should also try to perfect at least one art ... Anyway enough
Happy Navratri And Dussehara . Hope Your and Mine Prayer Is herad this Navaratri .. Jai Mata DI.. Happy Vaccations...

Memories Never Die

It was All well planned , approx . one month in advance .We were to leave for Puri , Konark and Bhuvneshwar on 14th of August 2008 . On that fateful day , It was raining cat and dogs since early in the morning .We were to leave the campus at 1400 hours . Two of us have Lab classes (Genetic engg , if i remember ) in second half . We thought The prof would allow us to leave the class @ 1345 . But he was hard nut to crack . He turned a deaf ear to our request . Anyway we left the class , at cost of one attendance . The rain had abated little bit . We collected our luggage and took a ride in auto . But Despite all planning God had some other plans . As soon as the auto reached near Mishra Xerox ( hardly 200 m frm campus ) , Auto came to a halt . When inquired , driver told there was no petrol . Wtf . The nearest Petrol Pump was On Bit Mor . Somehow the driver manged a can and a bike and went to fetch petrol .He returned in half an hour , But it was already 1445 hours . Our journey embarked then and we were blabbering and bantering , unaware of what was waiting for us . About 100 m from Kanta toli , we could see a serpentine queue of vehicles . It was a long traffic jam ! There was no sign of the Jam ending in less than a hour . It was 1530 already and our train was at 1600 hours at Hatiya station . All our hopes of making it to Puri was shattered in one go . Some of us lost our cool and started hurling abuses to the driver in Frustration , as he wasted our time in fetching Petrol . Suddenly one of us came with an idea that we leave this auto , take our luggage and , move out of Jam on foot . We agreed , and waded through all the muddy road , We hired an another auto and left for Hatiya , though It was 1550 already We reached Hatiya station @ 1615 hours . The scheduled Departure time had already passed and the train was From Hatiya itself .
When we entered the station , with dejected spirit , I heard One man talking that the train was Late for 1 hour . I cant' tell how relieved were we . The feeling was simply ineffable ! I never thought I will be so happy because of a train being Late . But the such is life . Anyway Train arrived 90 minutes Late , we boarded the train . But there was another surprise waiting for us . Due to some brilliant enterprising idea of Mr Lalu Pd Yadav each compartment had 9 seats in place of orignal 8 . Thanks to Mr yadav , It tok 30 min , For figuring out our berth .After train started discussion started , some of us played card and so on . But as clock ticked 8'0 clock , hunger striked , but we had nothing to eat . All the Little snacks we had , were finished . It was still 2 long hour before we would reach Rourkela and might have some food .Any way bearing hunger , we reached Rorkela @ 2230 hours . All of us were voracious by now . But as we searched food on the station all we could get was 8 ood puris and 2 plates of what they said was veg biryani ( for 7 person ) . All the food vanished in second , but hunger didn't abated . But what to do . We slept then .
When we got up next morning ( 15 August , 2008 ) , it was 0800 hours already . It was still 2 hour before we reached Puri . After having tea , we started inquiring about rooms . Guess what we couldn't find any . The hotels were either full , Or were beyond scope of our budget or far away from the town . In the end we reached Puri , hired an auto and asked the driver to take us to the beach . After , 30 min of traveling the sea was visible . Ohh ! what a exotic scene was that ! Simply mind blowing ! It recharged us and we wanted to dabble in the sea as early as possible . But alas ! we were still a vagabond with no room .We started room hunting expedition again and reached to hotel Puri . After much persuasion and prodding the receptionist conceded that they have one double room vacant and two would be vacant in evening .So we got the room , put our luggage there , and moved towards the beach .....
If you think , It was end of our nightmare , you are wrong ..The remaining part of this nightmarish yet mind boggling journey in the next post......

The Price Of Success

What is the price of success ? Do anyone appropriately know the Complete answer to this question ? My guess is nobody . But of late I have seen that many of us are willing to pay any price even for trifling gain . Some of us are willing to change yourself . Its true that nothing is permanent and change is inevitable . But believe me something are intrinsic and better left unchanged . If success comes to you by changing your inner self , you will regret it later . One get involved in flattery , unctuousness . But , such success is temporal .The goal that enjoins you is not what you deserve . Changing your inner self is bigger than any success . It will make you proverbial " colored Jackal " who became the king of the forest , but was ultimately doomed to death .
But what is worse , is that you betray someone for petty gain . Betrayal will certainly lead you nowhere . You may escalate new heights by bitching against people who trust you , by being unctuous .But your free fall from that height is imminent . And once it begins , there is no stoppage . You will reach to a very abysmal state . They say hope can lift you up from any situation , but in such cases even hope will ditch you . Even your inner consciousness will curse you . There is no other way around .
All these things I am scribing here because I have seen many people around me have suddenly behaving in a very strange way , in a way I never expected from them . Or may they were like that only , and only demasked now . What ever may be the case , I just believe that success or happiness that comes your way by being yourself is the real one , the rest is only a beautiful illusion . So, please always remember to be yourself .

Kabhi Kisi Ko Mukammal Jehan Nahin Milta....

I really don't know how to begin this blog , but I feel like rambling . In the mundane activity , most of us are running a blind race , towards some unknown goal ,almost without passion and they say " passion is the most important thing in the life ." Where has all the verve dessicated ? Why are we all adjusting ? I ruminated on these queries for a long time , but I was unsatiated .
Many a time , a person gets something that he doesn't want , while another coveting it is left deprived . There is so much disparity . As an old adage goes " nothing is impossible " But Is it really so ? As far as I am concerned it is Bullshit . Despite all his effort , human can't achieve everything he wants , because there is a thing called luck and he can't nullify it. At his best he can only assuage the situation by dint of hard labour .
Or is it the other way out . One takes the thing easily achieved as granted , and always pursue something else . In this pursuit , he is dissatisfied . He is sapped of confidence and feel like crap.
Anyway I still can't figure out , what is the real situation ? I am discombobulated .
I will like to finish with a couplet
" यूँ तो गुजर रहा है हर पल खुसी के साथ ,
फिर भी क्यूँ कोई कमी सी है ज़िन्दगी के साथ "
And , If anyone has answer to this riddle please comment .
