Story Time

This is a write-up my friend Sharveya sent me a couple of days age.

I used to be something else than today.Having a competing attitude I would always comparemyself to a friend of mine. He was a frequent winner but I managed to win insome (and when I say winner I mean he got an A in tests and I stood there downin the list what a B+ - well it’s actually worse when you get a 49/50 and your friend gets a 50).We have had our discussions on phones about topics (in the syllabus :-P) discussing home-assignments and study strategies but that always ended with a same note "Tuza kiti Zaala".Most certainly in 10th he scored 0.2% percentage more than me(that’s how people see it).Then we chose a different path leading to same goal(engineering or more precisely engineering form IIT).My path was very difficult,and his path lacked the competition. After 2 revolutions of earth…He was better than me and I felt bitter.I failed to accomplish my dream. The he gotadmission to central university, I realized I lacked in hard work and perseveranceeven though I had strong determination. He was not determined but his hard work tipped him.Actually if I think about it in a different way we both failed…We have had a friend in common who didn't speak muchabout his studies; nothing at all when I visited him,  we both played computer game in those twoyears.And now he is in the most reputed centraluniversity.That day I realized actions speak louder thanwords.His actions did the thing. According to psychology,The one who tells about his goals and dreamsactually is unable to achieve it.Because those words or dreams are just on thetongue they don't provide the inner ignition that enables a person to work hardenough. This is my small experience in life.Do tell me how is it?I think I will never forget those two years oflife that gave me enormous amount of inspiration, opinions, teachings, views.I may not be successful but I learnt many thingsform people around and I think that will help me in future. Thanks.

                                                           Kindness for all

I live near a government office where there are three dogs. I have stayed here for about two years  now and observed that the dogs never barked at people that come in the office during office hours. But if they have a visitor at night, they chase out of the gates. Its fun watching them play in the office garden. Today, in the afternoon, I saw two people riding a bike, and two of the same dogs were chasing it with full speed. I thought he must have harmed them in some way. The driver slowed down the bike and parked it. The dogs following him stopped right in front of him wagging their tails. He took of a bag from his bikes carrier and a news paper and put some food on the newspaper for the dogs. I was touched. Surely the man must be regularly with this as the dogs seem to really know him well. I learnt an important lesson that you need not know a person or animal very well to be kind to him, help him or to make his day merry. You just need to be pure at heart.

Judging something is a funny thing - no matter what you think all that you know could only be the tip of the iceberg. The most difficult part of life is that there's no book for right or wrong, good or bad no book no rules and no supreme guide. You are alone and the only thing that keeps your soul alive is...
...love

Magarpatta - A Beautiful City

I went to Magarpatta last week with my friend . The reason of the visit was to get information about online jobs from one of the many companies there.
Well now about the city - I know i haven't seen the world much yet but this by far was the most beautiful city i'd ever seen. The infrastructure is stunning, beautifully architectured buildings and a perfectly circular park in the center of the city(which we were not allowed in because we didn't have a city i-card and we were too lazy to smuggle ourselves in).
It is beautiful and what people wold call a dream city anyone would love to live in...
Do visit* the serenity of Pune. Though it can not be called a tourist place exactly but it gives you an idea of what you could call a 'good work office' or whatever.

* Its a great city but its a city not a zoo or some park so don't expect to see any of that when you go there also the garden at the center of the city is by rules is not for visitors.

Addiction 16

With friends the environment doesn't matter. It was quite fun today @ addiction. The DJ made it's mark because it probably was the only thing that lit up the fest. Well it was just day one - let's see what they have in store for the rest of the days...

Black Hole

Almost everyone of  us has a dark secret that no one knows. It just eats up deep within and we keep looking for a person trustworthy enough to understand it. To share the load. You might think that you know your best buddy better than any one but most of the times there's a other side of people which you don't know. Even the most digital and mechanical person does have a heart and if you think she/he doesn't you looked the wrong side of them. There's more love in this world than you could probably imagine. Don't form your opinions on the world just looking at a infinitesimal lot who don't like you. Open up. Live your life the way you want it. Enjoy it. There's no one to tell you what to do. You are the one who decides where you'll go what you'll see and what you'll be.
Rise and smile.

I wanna learn stuff what's so great about it - what's in it to appreciate? Why do they say good guy when u say you are studying? I study mostly if the stuff interest damn it don't you get that! How do you fail to see the beauty of the film behind the scenes. The 0's and 1's going through almost all wires in the form of small electrical current at lightning fast  speed. OK may be these wonderful things might not be obvious to be interested or maybe you don't give a shit about how it all comes together and just want to enjoy the party. Well I'm totally cool with such people - I admire abstraction but I don't do it, got it? - I do believe in enjoying the moment and forget all the backstage work. I do believe but its not who I am. And if you don't agree with me that's fine give your suggestions but don't keep spanking me with the stuff you think is right.
Dedicated to all wannabe backstage artists.

One among the many awsome things going around me this new tear is CS50. A great start for the year really excited - you know what i mean if u have taken the course:-) Love it.

Technology sometimes surprises us with it's win win features

Here's another one of the many interesting(and annoyingly many) ads on YouTube. There's also a full movie version available on their web site and also on YouTube if you wanna checkout - personally i just watched the trailer now and found it interesting will see the full movie soon...

/**The guy in the later movie looks like a ideal person(i only saw the trailer) and i'm not the person who does anything just cause it's fun although most of the times it might end up benefiting people - the world needs such guys but many top universities focus on the cool stuff to make teaching interesting(CS50) and by all means i love it. Service to humanity should be a byproduct or desired product is for you to decide.**/
