It's magic ...

Sometimes things click exactly like you want it in your dream. Matters fall into place just like you had made a wish before almighty GOD. All after that, you start feeling like at the top of the world, like the king of the world. At this point of time,you need to enjoy the proceedings as nobody knows - when again you will be followed by a crew of your surrounding ??? Everyone salutes the rising SUN and there is nothing wrong in it. I only suggest you here not to get carried away.
Then suddenly, a moment come when you start passing through a rough patch. The track which is entirely new and you are totally unaware of how to get away from it. If you are not mature enough, you start taking it like the end of the world, like the end of your life.At this point of time, you need to keep going on and on since all discovered wrong paths will increase the probability of being at the right path. Everyone disapproves the setting SUN and there is nothing right in it. Sun sets only to rise later. It sets only to differentiate between the people - those who have faith in it and those who don't have faith in it.

There are only two kinds of people on this planet - Doers and Onlookers. If you belong to the first category, my entire blog was meant to you and if you belong to the second category, I would like to be precise - "Chota hai jo - chota nahi, usme bhi koi badi baat hai" :)

Still Single !!!!!

Few days back, my family got an opportunity to assemble together on the occasion of marriage ceremony of my elder sister. I joined little bit late since I had to attend the party at the cost of my classes. I met my Buas and few of my Aunts rite after class VI. They exclaimed - "Rahul beta, you have grown so much !!! ". My mom replied - " Haan-Haan, ab to isi ka number hai...start searching for a girl". At the gathering, generally I prefer being silent. But this time, my smile was screaming. I was overjoyed to know that its my turn now!!!  My aunt said- " khojna kya hai.. he must be having a girl-friend at the college, Kyun beta? ". I replied - "No-no, I am still single". Everyone started laughing. I saw each and every face at that moment. The sense of proud could be felt from my mom's laughter but when I looked at other faces - It appeared as if they were laughing at me !!! After sometime, I was meeting my grandpa's friend. As per my memory, I was meeting him for the first time.My grandpa introduced me to him and passed few words of praise for me.In turn,the man replied - "Arre, tab to ek achchi si ladki dekhni hogi iske liye".It was very difficult for me to bring my excitation level down but somehow I managed it. Again the man asked me - "Ladki nahi na ghumate ho college me? " I replied in negative. He started smiling and when I saw his face, it seemed as if he was laughing at me !!! 

                Last week, I had gone a temple along with my friend after the end of our final semester exams. There were already long queues there and I had no choice. Later, I came to know that couples (no matter - engaged or not) were being given precedence over single ones. I saw my friend and he was laughing at me. By the way, after sometime, when it was the turn for single ones to move inside the temple, I started following my friend.But unfortunately, just after his entry,the priest stopped me. I asked angrily - "Kya hua? " and he questioned - " Are you single? ". It was an extreme. Then also, somehow I controlled my emotions and replied - "yes, I am single". I didn't want to see his (smiling)face. I entered into the temple straightaway and got darshan of Goddess. Her face was also smiling but I hope - She wouldn't have heard our conversation......

Preity precedes.........

For the last few days, I was going overboard with the IPL Season-2. In the meantime, I gave my final semester exams of 6th sem, results of general election were out, I started my summer internship in TCS but nothing seemed to attract my attention away from Africa.(Check out for my result this time!!!) With Kings-XI Punjab being knocked out of the tournament, IPL is now over for me and Priety (Zinta). 

                     Few years ago, when Dhoni was selected as the captain of India, a section of cricket lovers were raising voice over not to consider the name of Yuvraj Singh.Having done my +2 from Ranchi, I had no complain to the selection committee.Yeah, I was biased.I remember,Yuvraj himself had shown his disagreement. But what a platform, IPL provides to showcase your talent.Players are rubbing shoulders with their countrymen. In the battle between Dhoni and Yuvi, Dhoni was always up against his counterpart.This time, I am not biased. If you would have watched the last game of Punjab in which, the situation was do-or-die for them against Chennai, you will never prefer Yuvi ahead of Dhoni when it comes to captain the team. You may say that anyone's capability can't be judged only by a single match. My dear, I have watched all the games of Punjab (sitting just next to Preity!!!). You may enjoy the boundries,sixes of your favorite team but I felt delighted only when smile floated across Preity's pretty face. I could find out the reasons behind her saddened face. I haven't forgotten the last year semi-final between these two.This year also, when Powar and Sreesant were on fire in the match against Deccan Chargers,Yuvi was taking risk with Mota.There are other instances as well but let them go.Captaincy is all about exploiting the given resources to its fullest and in that art,Yuvi appears to be way behind. I feel sorry for you Preity........(Good luck for d next time).

I hang my head in shame.....

Yeah, this is the other part of me which i was fully unaware of. I reacted ridiculously everytime others convicted me of my unruly acts. I never accepted my fault(s) - leave aside - saying sorry !!!  In fact, I had never thought of making such a confession. Internet was my first choice when I decided to go public for saying - SORRY for all my misdeeds ...

                                  Passing judgements on other's character was the most usual thing I used to do. I could think only from the two extremes. Everyone used to be either introvert or extrovert. I had no word like "ambivert" in my dictionary - What to talk of "Shy Persons" ? Yes - I was wrong at those instances. We can't judge others merely after few glances. In fact, there is every possibilty that you will misinterpret him/her even after you have attended classes with him/her for quite some years !!!!! An unidentified force, a natural thrust, an inherent approach must be there if you really don't want to mess it up completely. In order to know others, you need to perceive the things through his/her eyes, you need to place yourself at his/her place, you need to understand him/her - which we seldom do...

                                  I remember, how much harshly I used to treat my friends who were having soft corners for any girl. My first question to them was - "Is she your girl-friend ?" They very often replied - "No". Without knowing whether it was bcoz he was trying to escape the question or was feeling uncomfortable in saying -"Yes", I used to throw another question (laughing in disdain) - "Then she must be your sister, Isn't it ?".Again, I was thinking from the two extremes. Today, I realize - I was harsh to the point of being obnoxious. I am too obliged to them - They never beaten me up (which I certainly deserved) !!!!! You see her, You praise her, You love her (Please don't misread it) but tell me - Is it necessary to own her ? No - it shouldn't be like that. You can't be so much self-centred....

                                 

HOLI- The Festival Of Colors............

This time, I enjoyed holi at home after a gap of 8 yrs (Ain't I a great hosteler? ). I realized - What i was missing over these entire periods - No, it was not only delicious PUAs - I was missing my childhood too. Preparations used to get started weeks before. I along with my Grandpa, used to go to the market ( needless to say - holding his fingers) in order to buy PICHKARIs. They used to be of three different shapes - one for me and two for my two sisters. The mango-shaped one was quite popular those days and was my obvious choice. Back at home, at first, water was filled in it and gush of water were sprayed on the face of my sisters, sometimes on the face of my grandma (but I had no courage to try it on my mom's face bcoz my first attempt was followed by...). Anyway, two pichkaris, which originally belonged to my sisters, used to get disfigured by me right before the Holi-day. No one knew - Where I used to keep my mango-shaped pichkari ? For my sisters - It was an extreme of wickedness (now, for me too!!! )...In the early morning of Holi, I used to bring out my pichkari from nowhere but oh no - it used to last only for few hours. Yeah, I was too harsh with any sophisticated product. A short act of pray before father clicked everytime. In fact, he used to buy three pichkaris - a day before Holi. I wondered that time - Where from he knew that I would need it one day later ? But now, I understand - Every father knows his son very well :) 

                        This time, I reached at home only one day before. No pichkari was bought. There were no friends. My sisters, who used to fight with me those days, were helping my mom in preparing Puas. There was no childhood !!! Few years back, when i had returned after playing Holi with my friends, my father had mistaken me for someone else and had asked me - Where is Rahul ? This time, there was lack of color in the festival of colors !!! Even when someone tried to color my face, I stammered - "I am allergic to the Colors". But why I am telling you all this ? Perhaps I want to say - Don't send your child to hostel. They say - Something has to be given up in order to achieve anything. But, what if it comes at the cost of your CHILDHOOD !!!!!!  

A Tribute To Unfulfilled Dreams.........

There is a huge difference between listening about a major setback and experiencing it. Several times, I had come across various mishaps that invovle engg. students but the incident that took place in our college last month (during our Tech-Fest) caused me to show discomposure. It was not only about loss of two lives.... It was about the dreams that were left unfulfilled.... Dreams that well placed, 8th semester students see... Dreams that parents see about their children who are all set to pass out from their college with some great jobs in their hands... Dreams that their well-wishers see... Everything was ruined within the time span of 2-3 minutes !!! Yes, it was the same place, which we usually visited for recreation, which appeared as a background in most of the photo-shoot, which was the centre of attraction - just in front of our college main-building. The Fountain, that used to produce jet of water, started flowing electricity through it that nite !!! I knew one of them very closely. He motivated me everytime we met . His words will linger in my memories forever... We had no plan to bid such a horrific farewell... GOD - You are too cruel.....

Is He Only An Admirer ???

In what way to react, he doesn't know but one thing is for sure - He is her biggest admirer. He is not there to say that she is the best but at the same time, he has seen none like her ever before. Her distinguished thoughts, peculiar persuation, exceptional presence and everything else turn him almost mesmerized. He may not be talking to her but he is happy only with talking about her (Of course - Only with us). She may not be with him but sometimes he feels her around him. He doesn't know - How other guys proclaim their respective beloved girl-friend to be the most beautiful creature on this earth bcoz he doesn't find anyone better-looking than her. He can't understand - How other guys spend so much time on mobile with their respective gf but he doesn't think that his gossiping will ever come to an end once she starts talking to him. He wonders - Where from other guys muster up the courage to react violently whenever some comment is passed on their beloved ones but he feels annoyed everytime something wrong is said about her. Others may find RAB in the face of their respective (...) but for him, the situation is quite different - He finds the same honor, same purity, same innocence in her eyes as in the God but can't see anything other than her ( perhaps bcoz he doesn't want to see). He never bother about his stupidity whenever it comes to make an impact on dance floor because he knows - DANCE KARNA TO USKO BHI NAHI AATA...Truly speaking :- Others may say - "Haule-Haule ho jayega pyaar" but he knows only one thing - He admires her today more than yesterday...

Rab Bana De Jodi ....

No God - I am not praying for myself !!! It doesn't mean that you have been kind enough to me in this field. It only means that my commitment stands nowhere compared to those around whom my life is hanging nowadays. I have a friend who is so lucky that whenever he wants to see 'HER', he finds 'HER' - No, it can't be coincidence...Why can't she observe him even though he uses to be around her like her own shadow - No, I am not exaggerating...Why doesn't she talk to him even though he keeps on talking only about her - No, it is only the fact...Why shouldn't she take a chance even though he is ready to dance on her tunes throughout his life - No, his thoughts are pure from inside... I have another friend whom I have never seen expending his money unwisely - Yes, he is going to present 'HER' a golden ring this year because... One,whom I have never seen  saddening others will let his parents down - Yes, he will be marrying her in court... One, whose time management capability is superb, uses to be on mobile every time I see him - Yes, he is senior to the prior one... God - You have ornamented these girls with such beautiful eyes through which we start perceiving your presence, but tell me -"Is there any way to put our heart out before them?"... I am not biased to the guys but at least they should be given fair amount of chance to prove themselves. Sometimes girls, sometimes families, sometimes surroundings...It may sound inappropriate but the road to love for guys are full of thorns. Then also they step forward - Can't say - Why?... Those, who are not sure about tomorrow, start dreaming about ten years ahead - Don't know - Why?... One, who seldom prays for others, is today praying for his friends - because he wants love to prevail everytime - " RAB BANA DE JODI " ...........

Am I Ready To....???

We were celebrating the arrival of 2009. Each group had its own way to enjoy. I always respect other's privacy and hence not going to go into the details but it was a typical engineer's party which was full of ..... The fact that this year should be the last one that will see us completely unemployed (we are to complete our b.tech course by the May of 2010 and have no further plan to carry on with the books !!!) was the most driving one. All of a sudden, someone asked me- "Are you ready to deliver in terms of responsibilities, obligations, duties ...?" Although i also have developed the tendency of throwing questions on others but they are mostly like - "Why should a girl reject any proposal?", "How can a lover sadden his darling?","How can a hubby call down his wife?", "What is the proper way to approach a girl?" and so on... I was struck at that time, almost unanswered. After the party, i started thinking on it. I confessed - I always turn irritated whenever i am told to go to the market to fetch household stuffs, I go to the college only to find some particular cheeks, I attend only those lectures which i can't bunk, I give examinations only to get a degree, I see the opportunity of working in a company only as a source of income, I have yet to find out the advice on how to combine marriage and career, I have yet to find out the ultimate goal of my life. Then i came to the conclusion - No, I am not ready to deliver ...
