Once upon time , a long time ago a promise was made but eventually it was broken by somebody.
That somebody, a follower of the deadly lethargic forces (thus, a true Indian !) , is ...
Is??
Well , you don't need to be a diehard suspense- thriller fan for making that somebody out.
Obviously that's me and I , still , am not able to be regular in updating this place , which I promised long ago.
I guess there's no point worrying about that now because , given I am an engineer , it's hard to find time for such activities.(Now , If you feel this reason hard to believe then let me tell you , it is indeed normal to feel so because I bluffed you just now.)
Actually, the real reason is that I don't want to degrade the quality of my blog postings by writing the daily (not so much happening) happenings. Instead, it is better to cover up the gist of it. So , now it’s time to get over with the explanation part which is meant mainly for my personal satisfaction as there are not so many avid readers of my blog and I am also in no mood to use my marketing skills over this issue. It won’t feel good if anybody accuses me of robbing their valuable time by making them to read this as I know not many will wish to dedicate time for 'things' , things which I keep pondering over.
Though I believe , there is a stage when a man(and a woman also...no wait! , something's wrong , okey ‘some woman’ suits better...) does question 'things' and tries to find answers to them.
So, I get this wonderful chance to meet my all imagined readers from my home. It feels great to be at home and it feels great to be in Delhi.(No, please, not for that particular reason!)
Seriously Delhi rocks ! and being here in my favorite season of the year feels awesome. Lately , I have had some problems with 'Dilli ki sardi'.I guess four years being far away has jammed my immune system so that when I was coming in the train (without any blanket , bedsheet , and in a single sweater) the armed forces of cold attacked me. Many posts got captured. Perhaps my ears & bronchioles are captured even now. Though my forces have started picking power as they are now fed with healthy , spicy and tasty home cooked food. Steaming momos and hot soups do serve a helping hand.
So talking about home , it is really convenient when you know where to find what. There is every place , every street food (chat , golgappa , momos...) for your every mood. That’s why we all feel blessed at home. All hometowns are so comforting to their respective natives.
But still , Delhi does Rocks ! such a happening city it is.
On Last Sunday , I finished two more MBA entrances with only the last one remaining now. It excites me a lot when I think what is going to happen after four months. Last semester of my Btech. I feel nostalgic but also all the more enthusiastic about future. It is going to be a new world again , just like four years ago but this time it is the real battlefield , not just a practice arena where your mistakes are forgiven at no cost. I don't know if they are in this real world or not , have to wait for that but I think mistakes are not forgiven anywhere without paying the costs. It just depends on the rules of the game to determine how big the crime is.
In my younger days(When I was a little kid I mean..) , talking to your teacher in a loud voice , criticizing them would have easily attracted a slap or two from him/her with a guarantee of good beating back at the home from the parents as well.
Now, I see people doing it easily. Though we must criticize the flaws in the system in a mannered way but I see students taking it to another level, for instance In Delhi(perhaps in whole country now) , there is a law that a teacher cannot physically harm you , can't slap you in another words. I remember an incident from my class X when some students were making nuisance in the class , when the teacher came to them to stop them they started insulting, even abusing him. He was exasperated by them. I could see the intense anger in his eyes , his jaws tightly clinched together yet he was just staring on the chuckling students helplessly.
I was shocked , it was the first of its kind incident for me and that day I realized that maybe 'Guru' had become obsolete in the dictionaries of man.
For us teacher is a person who takes money , is forced to take classes , is a duffer who was unsuccessful at other career options and so chose to be a teacher. People go there , take notes , abuse him after the class (even if the content he was teaching was boring itself).
Do we ever wonder that he is a teacher - he 'teaches' us.
Now I know that you are having an ocean of words waiting right there at your tongue's tip and so let me clarify that I’m not being a partisan. I know the other side also , you don't get dronacharya everywhere but you even don't get Eklavya everywhere and I bet you may not find 1 eklavya in 10000 students but a dronacharya will be there in 100 teachers.
So , it is quite easy to go on inventing essays of abusive statements for your grey haired , large spectacled professors but just try to think how difficult is their job to satisfy the doubts of ever curious modern population. Ask anyone out there about their ambitions and you already know , whether a boy or a girl , you'll not find the word teacher in their ambitions.
We should not try to see Drona in every teacher , because the true worth of a teacher can be recognized by a true student only.
Well , it is strange , right now I'm flowing with thoughts and can discuss this issue , infact debate over it (not supporting any particular side).
So , this is how strange things get part of my blog. I write anything when im in the mood and so writing the blog in that perfect state of mind makes me less regular with blogging. This spontaneous quality of mine can help me do wonders rather this is not spontaneous I must say , somewhere at the back of mind , I do muse over this kind of stuff.
Getting back to home talks , it is quite boring at times not having all those Masala talks with your friends.
Movies serve a good method of time pass along with the master creation of Mr. Zuckerberg but still it sucks to get wired in for such long periods.
This is awkward , while my friends , like always , some don't disturb me at all(Engineers never take pains...) and some can't be disturbed by me(constraints , you see...). ;-)
Well , there are benefits of having 6 exams in 6 days. though there are the dis-ads. also but I would hide them deep inside me right now , to make a few people feel a bit jealous.
In a day or two , placement activities will begin in the campus. Farewell time approaching, Aww! I'll miss my friends but fine lets enjoy our last sem to the fullest , I know we are gonna rock in the coming months.
May be these 15 days are my last vacations for which there is no issue of salary deduction.
Maybe ! Who knows whats next !
