Zindagi-Do pal ki...

"When you want to enjoy life, think today as the First day of your life."

The day a child is born,he is taught how to fight the world.How to work hard and strive for earning a filthy paper-money!!Every where,every one says the same thing, "beta mehnat karo warna piche reh jaoge"...At this juncture a dialogue of famous movie "3 idiots" clicks to our tired brains.."life is like a race,if you don't work hard you will be like a fallen egg.."
But has it ever clicked to our minds that what if we don't study?What if we roam about?What if we get close to nature and admire god's beautiful creations?Will it harm us??..In a way NO!Because whenever you follow your heart you'll never go wrong.Do what your heart says.Listen to that only buddy in the left hand corner,it will never take you to the wrong track.
Life is too short.You never know..today you are there,tomorrow you may not be!!...enjoy each and every moment of your life.If you want to do something just do it!!..don't think about what others will say.If you love someone just say it,may be you may get him/her..never wait for tomorrow,because you never know but it may happen that tomorrow never comes!!..Eat,drink,dance,love,enjoy,party...do everything you want to..beacuse yeh zindagi sirf do pal ki hai!!..kab khatam ho jaye kya pata!!..

Someone special : Beyond Bf and Gf

"If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?"

We "the homo sapiens" are basically animals. But social ones! Each of us has basic needs like food, clothing, shelter etc. In modern times, mobile phones and laptops have been also added to list. But what makes us different from those animals which we say are not social? Strong bonding and relationships. Humans crave to love and being loved.

We "the humans" have named each relation. Mom-Dad, Brother-Sister,sister-sister,brother-brother, uncle-aunt, boyfriend-girlfriend and list in endless. Whenever we see two people talking we tend to name their relation. Why? I don't know!.....We introduce ourselves as son/daughter, father/mother etc of someone.


In teenage we have a great urge to know people......get known....see our facebook friendlist ticking.....!


But among all the relations most controversial relation is between a guy and a girl. (who are not brother and sister). The moment you see a guy and a girl taking to each other....we think that they are bf-gf! Why?? Don't know!! And I really die to know!....Can't they be good friends? 


Situation is such that "guy n girl" always keep on CLARIFYING that they are just friends. "Just" friends? I strongly feel that word "just" should not be used with "friends". Friends are precious possession. Being friends is special....something unusual....a kind of miracle...a beauty....everything that is good!


There are few relations....that are too special to be called as Gf-Bf....there is no expectations, no complains and no demands......just being there is important! There is no physical desire...nor they have any plans to marry each other.....just .....no words to explains.....But this relation gives an inordinately positive feeling.....


U see charming face of that person...and that is what makes your day! Again I must stress...There is no expectation...or plan to see that person....but still you bump in to each other many times...You like helping that person...You wish to see that person happy and successful....You are ready to lose just to make that person win....! That person is known yet unknown to you....strange na? But all of us must have had this kind of relation sometime is life. If you did not have such relation...I believe that you have wasted your life.


It can be online even....a girl/guy whom you know since years but never talked to him/her in person. You see him on facebook and chat regularly.....Please don't ask how can you know someone with whom you never talked! Sometimes we hesitate in talking to someone for simply no reason....foolish of us! So just get out and talk to people...U never know you regret later!

Jisse dhoondta hoon main har kahin (My First Crush)

This isn't about University Crushes which are normal and everyone has got one girl they would die for :). This a story of a innocent boy having a crush on a sweet cute girl. And as we all know No.One is innocent at college/university, so back to school days. :)

What follows is a dream, rather a blur memory stored in some back part of my brain. Whenever I recall my school life I always enjoy the following  moments.


The story is of  the academic year 2000-2001. Only a couple of years since I shifted to Gandhingar, Gujarat. I hadn't made many friends but still was enjoying the school life.


The first day at school after a long summer vacation seems to be the most exciting one. A new bag, new water bottle, a new uniform nicely ironed, the crispy collar around which a nice bow tie had been tied, in the hanging on the shoulders would be notebooks labeled as per subjects and all wrapped in a brown cover which is hardly seen in colleges.

Then the excitement of meeting the friends after almost one and a half month. Flaunting the new haircut and the wrist watch which you got as a birthday present. I'm one of those (un)fortunate guys who have their birthdays in  summer vacation. I never had a chance to celebrate it with my school friends. 


In the morning Dad dropped me at the school gate and I ran towards the school building as it was almost 7:05 and those khadoos volunteers won't allow me to enter the building if the prayer starts. I ran fast and got in. It felt like I won the 100m sprint with those volunteers :) :)

I was looking for my new class and my new class teacher. Then I got a glimpse of my then good friend Gaurang Soni (I don't hear from him much now though.). Finally got my class and my old classmates. It was then when I felt, that really I was in V standard(grade). All my buddies were there at the last benches and and so joined them at the back.


The prayer started, followed by the pledge, today's thought, headlines, and at last National Anthem. After all ended the late comers started to enter in the class asking for the permission from our new class teacher Mrs (Ops I forgot her name. never mind ) the whole class was busy talking about their cool summer vacation. I was too discussing things along with staring all the late comers with a feeling of pride of getting to school on time.


Suddenly I noticed a girl entering the class.She had a nice black colored bag nicely being carried on her shoulders. Also, she had the same green colored MILTON water bottle which I had, but mine was smaller than hers. She wasn't in the usual school uniform, she was wearing some colorful dress which made her look different from others and that was exactly what caught my eye.


She asked for the permission, entered the class and sat on the second bench, almost 5 to 6 benches ahead of in the adjacent row. 


Then something strange happened which hasn't been repeated till now in my life, I got up from my seat, took my bag and went upto the second bench and accompanied her on the second bench. 

After that I don't have any memories, maybe they faded away for a reason. I can't recall the name or her face (her face is kind off blurred in my little mind which I can't make out who was she ) but yup that black bag still hangs out in front of my eyes whenever I remember this incidence.


I know I was too young to be impressed by a girl do such a thing but don't know what was it that made me join her on the second bench.


Sometime I try finding loop holes in this faint memory of mine and I even succeed in finding some but don't know why my heart doesn't accept those.


One of the explanation which I thought would be an appropriate to mention which could be the cause 


"I was more of impressed by the bag and bottle which she carried rather than the girl " 


At last a request from my side if u like this then 

Planning commission says "If you can spend Rs 33 you are not poor."

You may feel that this post is bit out of place. But as a university student, it does concern us, particularly for two reasons. First, many students cannot make up till university just because of such ridiculous planning. Second, we as a future of nation should try to know if this planning holds water? 

I analysed my own expenditure. I am a simple university student. Just like anyone else. And by writing this I am not trying to say that all of us should be below BPL. But I want to throw some light and put my opinion that planning should be reasonable. 

All the children has a right to education. There are typical costs that are needed for education. For example books, fees, transport etc. If we just account for these cost, amount of Rs 32/- will sound like a joke. 

First comes the college fees. Minimum fees for engineering college is Rs 1500 per year.. This fee is only for government colleges. For SFI fees are much higher. But leave that apart. So I can say it is 1500/365=  Rs 4.11 per day. Balance left = 32 - 4.11 =  Rs 27.89/-. Further each typical semester has 6 subjects. Each subject has at least one text book. Each books on an average cost at least Rs 150. Per day I spend 150*6/182.5 = 5. 1 semester = 6 months. So I have taken 182.5 days precisely. Now I am left with Rs 22.89/-. Many of the colleges are located at remote places. Transport needs at least Rs 20 per day. Remember petrol price are all time high. Balance = 22.89 - 10 = Rs2.89. Now do I need to give you explanation for Rs 2.98 ? 

So indirectly what planning commission suggests is....."IF YOU ARE POOR, JUST DON'T STUDY". This is a hidden message I could get! I would like to remind you that above discussion takes only academic expenditure. Still food, clothing etc are not included. Also prices I have considered are the least (impractically less). So actually academic expenditure is much more.

If you are one of those who say that scholarships are available...please think once again. Are so many scholarships available?  

A Day To Remember: The next part

Do read the last past post before going reading this...

I was at....

There were some other volunteers only to take care of those who collapsed after donating blood, actually you don't collapse then and there as you get up from the bed. Let me tell you what happened to me. While I was lying on the bed with a needle inside my vein from which blood was going into the sterilized bag, I was thinking of the moment when I was in a dilemma whether to go for donating blood or not, and now I was doing the same.

The next moment I thought how much time will this take ?, then pulled out my phone and listened the song 'Hawa Hawa Aayi' a remix version from Shaitaan, after a while I felt that my throat was drying up, that was the moment when a weird thought came to my mind 'Yaar, Zinda Toh Bachunga Naa', I even called the Doc present there and told him that my body was sweating uncontrollably, he told me to relax and turned the fan towards me, the air which the fan blew was the coolest breeze in the world which I have ever experienced. 'Kya Thandi Hawa Thi.' 


Next moment a medical student (I suppose) came and asked me 'Kashu Thai Che Tamne, Chakkar Toh Nathi Aavta Ne ?'  I always told them I was alright. When she pulled out the syringe, I took a deep breath and asked her can I rest over there for five min. She again asked 'Weakness feel thai che..?' . This time I was really feeling a bit weak and needed a little rest so closed my eyes and went into the third world of thoughts. About five minutes later I got up and sat in a chair nearby, at first I was alright but later I saw something unusual happened to me, there were some beds and volunteers in front of me. First, the volunteers standing a bit far from me faded of, then the bed and the doctors and all those who were around me went blur. There were some voices in the background asking me if I was alright or not. Don't exactly remember the last part but the next moment some guys helped me reach upto the bed so let me have some rest.


 I think I fainted partially or might be fully because I remember that I walked upto the bed myself along with the support of few guys. i salute the members of social service club. I thank them for whatever they were doing for the society. I would also join the club at the earliest.


Then a senior Doctor came upto me and diagnosed me and told me to close my eyes and have rest. Then came a guy who offered me a bottle of GluconD the most common energetic drink. I was treated like a king, though hadn't did anything like that.

I rested on the bed for about ten minutes and next, went to the coffee stall, there also were the volunteers keeping a good care of the donors. Had a cup of Nescafe Coffee and Parle G. then remained seated on the chairs over there, again slowly-slowly everything in front of my eyes was fading off, keeping myself into senses I leaned forward to let my head be neat to the heart so that blood pressure may rise and reach upto the head. Don't know what laws of physics governed this and how that came to my mind.

Whatever it was, it worked I was completely back to my senses in minutes. While I was trying out all this the volunteer over there saw me fainting and called for help. Other volunteers ran to me, to pick me up and place me on the empty bed.

The situation was a bit funny, some volunteers ran upto me and were about to pick me up, one even pulled up my leg, then they saw I was alright and we all had smiles on our faces.


There I rested for about half an hour and was back to normal, 




I would have never donated blood if that friend of mine hadn't asked me and I out of curiousness hadn't given a try. 


SO THIS IS HOW MY DAY ENDED, I WOULD NEVER FORGET THIS DAY AND WON'T FORGET SOME OF THE IMPORTANT KEY PEOPLE WHO MADE MY DAY MEMORABLE.


AT THE END I WOULD REQUEST YOU ALL TO AT LEAST DONATE BLOOD ONCE A YEAR. BE IT YOUR BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY OR ANY SPECIAL OCCASION. DOING A GOOD DEED WOULD MAKE IT SOMEWHAT MORE SPECIAL.

COURAGE IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF FEAR BUT RATHER THE JUDGEMENT THAT SOMETHING ELSE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FEAR !!!

A Day To Remember

Hi Guys and Girls this a friend of the original blogger. I'm here to 

share an amazing experience with you. This post is a part of dairy 

unedited.

20th September 

It was just a normal day. It was at about 5 in the morning, when my phone rang, 'Pappa' was flashing on my mobile screen, I needed to go to catch the bus to Kalupur Station which departs from Gandhinagar at 6, that was what for the call was. I simply disconnected the phone to tell my parents that I'm awake now. Next what I did was usual, I slept for 5 min after which I had to continue with my morning routine. Can you guess my sweet diary what happened ? I woke up  next at 6:15 a.m. I was too late for me to be able to reach college on time.

(Actually that bus takes me to the railway station in Ahmedabad where I board an Express Train to Nadiad. This chain is very crucial, even a five to ten min delay could lead to, actually nothing just missing the first lecture or even the second one. I have even boarded a moving train, once I ran like anything just on the platform and finally made to the Guard's coach)

Back to the Tuesday morning, when I woke up many thoughts went through my mind calculating different factors, picking up various possibilities. Firstly, What time is it ?What time the bus leaves ? When is the 

second bus ? What time will I reach the station ? which is the first lecture ? Is it worth attending ? What if I miss the train ? What if I don't get the bus ? These could be the questions would have hovered over in my 

mind if it would have been a Monday morning, but fortunately it was Tuesday. I recalled my time-table and relaxed as the first lecture wasn't that important. So keeping my cool got ready till 6:45 and then straight away to the Bus stand for a direct bus to Nadiad. Skipping the regular routine now I directly jump to the important part of my day. It was at 11 a.m. we were free from the lectures and had complete 

3 hour break so were loitering around in the college.  Then we saw something going on at the Center Foyer, later we came to know that Red Cross Foundation was there for a Blood Donation Camp. It was just what happens every year or semester don't exactly remember, but this time something happened which I would never forget. A friend of mine just asked me 'Karna Hai Donate' , I replied casually, 'Yeh Bhi Kar Lete Hai' . I thought it was just for fun but after half an hour we both were quite serious about donating blood. There were some who encouraged and some who discouraged. It 

didn't really matter who told us what, it was important what we did. 

There were two long queues near the Camp area, one for getting the bag for collection of blood and the second one for measurement of weight and blood pressure. It was a myth that I would get rejected due to either underweight or low blood pressure but none of this happened.I waited for about one and a half hour in the queue to get the blood collection bag and an approval of Doctor rather medical student. Then went inside to get into another queue, it wasn't a long one, just me waiting for the guy on the bed to get up who was donating blood.

Yeah forgot to describe the setup. The camp was organised by the Social Service Club of my college, so there were members of the club helping the medical staff with regular procedure of blood donation. They were mostly helping out the donors. They were doing a fantastic job they had kept some beds where they did all the blood extraction process. The club members were keeping a track of every single activity of the person who came there to donate blood.

First, they would give you a bottle of glucose, then the doctor comes, looks for the vein to pierce the needle, you spend about 15 min lying on the bed, the blood is collected in the bag which you were carrying. And every two to three min someone or other comes to you and ask you 'how is it feeling, are you feeling dizzy, chakkar aaye che' and they act accordingly.

There were some other volunteers only to take care of those who collapsed after donating blood, actually you don't collapse then and there as you get up from the bed. Let me tell you what happened to me. While I was lying on the bed with a needle inside my vein from which blood was going into the sterilized bag, I was thinking of the moment when I was in a dilemma whether to go for donating blood or not, and now I was doing the same.

I need to go to college so would continue from here next time.

An encounter with a teacher.

Today was the day of exam- Fluid power engineering. And it was even worse than a nightmare. The problem was with supervisor. He appeared to be cool and friendly when he used to take our lectures on ordinary working days. But to am shock, he stormed into our class and told us to follow three rules: No talking, Put the pens down once time up bell rings and third....I don't remember. He also threatened us to take the action if we are caught talking or something....and would make us sit at home for 3 years under "unfair means". So I was bit shocked.

And my luck was not with me that day. I had scribbled few equations of my bench. But before he distributed the question papers we were made to change our benches. God!! What to write in paper now. Can't talk...bench also changed. The syllabus of this subject was exhaustive.

Anyways, I collected myself from shock and tried to write something. Then that supervisor (our lecturer) started moving in the class briskly as if someone has freed the bull!! few answers that I could recall...I just forgot because of him. Next, he went out for some break and some other supervisor came. He usually used to come everyday. It was just like heaven. But he was a change man that day. He snatched the papers of three students. Poor students! Obviously, I did copy but I was in the corner and he could not see! Luck somewhat!

And he indeed did not give the paper back. I don't understand what he got in doing that? Can anyone please tell me?  

Facebook - Do it really keep you close?

Please don't ask me - "How does this relates to university??". Facebook have become an integral part of our lives. This might not be true for all, but for majority of us this thing holds true. And in students community, I guess it is more important than syllabus. Strange na! Hats off to Mark Zukenberg.

They are actually doing their work. But have you observed something. It is claimed that sites like facebook keeps you close to your dear ones. Really?? I doubt? Ya, they are good place to advertise and spread your stuff on web. They are great stuff to have so called "friends".

Two important factors that I really find improper : Firstly, Algorithm according to which facebook works. Secondly, a word called "Unfriend" was coined by facebook.

Let us discuss algorithm first. Among the pool of the friends we have...few are closed one...few are just "friends". But not necessarily that your best friend is regular user of facebook. He might be using it some or the other time. But your so called friend is 24 * 7 online. Obviously, you will get more occasion of interaction with him rather than your best friend. So whenever your so called friend does anything you will see it on your wall when you login. But as your best friend rarely use facebook and you rarely interact with him USING FACEBOOK, his updates might not be displayed at all. So what faecbook does here is....it creates the distance between dear ones. 

"Unfriend" is the most pathetic word I know in English language. Who is your friend? Someone with whom you are comfortable...some to whom you like to talk to...etc. Who are enemies? Someone whose loss is your gain and you feel immense pleasure in that. What is unfriend? When you unfriend someone, he is not your enemy even. In both case...be it friends or enemy you have some feelings for the related person. But in unfriending someone...you have nothing to do with that person. There is no existence of that person for you. 

Can any relation be worse than that? 

What is the loss in just asking out!

I seriously cannot understand this - What is the loss in just asking out?!

You encounter many situations in life when you just have to ask someone very a simple question and that someone's simple answer mostly either 'YES' or 'NO' can solve your problem. Or at least make the picture bit clear that he/she is not interested in helping you out so better find your own way!

One of my friend...he had few doubts in fluid mechanics. He never used to attend any lectures. So he was hesitating in asking to our respected teacher if he would help him. But I just asked him that can't he  go and ask at least. But he was afraid that he might say NO. So what but? Even if he was not asking, he was not getting any damn help from him. So at least his NO will clear the thing that my friend is not going to get is teacher's help.

Similar situation....A boy infatuated by some girl. I guess he should ask out at least but people don't do it. Why? Because girl may say no. But as such you are not getting her anyway! 

So today my message to you is whenever you are in such situation you better ask! Your views will be appreciated.

DISCLAIMER :  Use this advice at your own risk. Using it at wrong place in wrong manner may lead to tremendous loss! :

Earn man! Earn!

I have seen many of the university students! They just want to earn...do something new.....something innovative....something different. But problem lies in the word "SOMETHING". Because they never know what they want to do exactly. But all they want to do is earn.

I am one of them. So let me share with you my hopelessly failed plans to earn money. PLAN word is not new to this blog. Being an engineering student (ya i am seriously one)....I had strong commands on geometry and 11th and 12th science syllabus. Decided to write with few guides. Plan failed before it could start. Reason was Kapil Sibal. Ya the same person who is our HR Minister. As engineering entrance exams go national level, I barely had anything left to write. I could write theories. But multiple choice questions! Out of question! There are many more great minds out there. So that was the end...or starting...whatever.

Next was tcyonline.com. they used to pay for uploading the content on their website. You could upload two things. Video lecture and multiple choice question test! I started with videos. Managed to get Rs 900/- in my tcy account. They used to pay you once you reach Rs 1000/ . On the day when I reached Rs 900/ mark they discontinued the payment video lectures. But continued to pay for multiple choice question. I tried to earn Rs 100/ from MCQ but I could not. At the end I gave up.

Next I decided to blog. Blog about MBA entrance exam and try to earn some thing out of it. But again could not succeed much!

Still I have few plans that are yet to fail. But still I am going to give them a try. Try and try! We may succeed someday! And even if I don't succeed I will learn something new. Nice excuse to give when you fail. Its like failing in the examination and saying that its good as I am going to study that one more time.

Please share your opinions over here. They are valued.

Things turn out to be easy sometimes!

When you open your textbook and skip through pages so as to get the idea of the length of the chapter, it may seem that chapter is too long to finish in the entire life!! Especially when chapter has number of equations and derivations. And sometimes we don't even know those notations and symbols used in the equations. What a plight!

But have anyone experienced this? The moment you start reading the chapter, density of chapter reduces. Ya, I have experienced this. And I experience this during all the exams preparation. Actually nothing is difficult. It is our preconceived notions that makes us...or breaks us. What is more important is the belief! Belief is your own self!

Why I am talking all this today! All of the sudden. Just because I need to talk that way. I found one of the tutorial that I think I would manage to finish soon. So I am bit relieved!

But the moment I think about the remaining syllabus...there occurs a short circuit in the nervous system. I hate to stay awake till late night for studies. Its okay if I have to watch TV, write a post etc. But study... I really hate to the fullest!!

Hope this exams get our soon. I have loads to share our here!! 

A Day before Exam: How do you plan??

Planning has been one of the most important things in my life. I lie very well! Anyways so how do you guys plan about your last day preparation?! 

Let me tell you how well I plan! Let us say I have 20 chapters to deal with on the last day. What I do is just divide them in three parts. 7 chapters in morning, 7 in noon and 6 at night. Or better said 7 before lunch, then 7 before dinner. Remaining 6 after dinner. As if those were the dose of some medicines. But I do that. So do I succeed in doing that?! Nah...In fact I plan this at around 11 a.m. in morning on the day before exam. I am a late riser. And I have my lunch at around 1 p.m. So I actually plan to cover 7 chapters in just 2 hours. This is really impossible. I don't even finish seven pages by that time. But this helps me to have positive feeling!

Then starts the spell of noon. Dose after lunch. Ya, I still have not finished even single chapter. So I decide to leave two or three chapters. That works for me. I am a human being. Not a ranker after all!! But by dinner I hardly manage to finish 4 chapters. Only important portion. How to know what is important? Simple!! Whatever you find easy is important!!! 

After dinner I decide to take some break. This break may last till 12 am. Ya 12AM. I decide to remain awake whole night after some rest. Sleep actually. You need to do that to write well next day! And I promise myself to get up in 1 hour or so. Usually I fail to keep my promise. I get up at around 4am with shock that I m going to fail. 

I grab my text book and start reading whatever I can find. Usually I have exams at 10 am. I don't even bath and gush to collage at around 10:45.

Depending upon the paper I sometimes score less...sometimes okay...never score too good!!!

Mind sharing your experience with me??

Exam time!

Strangely enough, I am starting my new blog with the title EXAM TIME! But I see no option. I am tired with studies and want to relax my self. So just thought to share it with you.

Exam time is so unbalanced time. And it varies from people to people. Few are like me. They try to study...study really hard. And fail to finish even single chapter before exam in on the very next day. Why this happens? I don't know.Or may be....I have not tried to know.

Few nerds enjoy exams.  Don't understand how!!! But few people really do. They plan their things. Even I plan in much better way. Only difference between me and them is they follow their plan. I don't.

Few start scribbling on paper. So that they can use them directly in examination hall. Ya , I am talking about chits. I don't understand two things in this method. First, how can they know what question they are going to get in exam. Also they hide so many chits at so many different places.. How do they remember where have they hidden which chit?!! And if they have such a powerful memory, why don't they remember the answer itself. Well I understand that different people expertise in different areas. But is this area worth for expertness?

Few start to pray god. Hang on, god can't help you with this. I think go and pray your supervisor.(If you know in prior somehow)

Few ask about the name of books. Well, I buy books too early. Because of my so called strict plan. But at the end I and last day book buyers are at same starting line.

Few try to distract others to get themselves an edge over other. Personally, I hate this people. These are those people who want to be called RANKers!! But...try again next time....!!!

My personal opinion about rankers is...They are bit jealous and selfish!!!!

By the way..What kind of student are you??
