Learning!!

Do we ever stop doing it?
I am about to complete a year at my job place and I still find it very exciting to be here. There is work (which is appreciated), there are celebrations, there are functions and recently there was a chess tournament too!!
Well, my mom had enrolled me for chess coaching when I was in fifth grade. And yes, I have entered into the semifinal of chess tournament now. A friend happened to ask me what I will get if I emerge out as a winner. And I simply answered with two things. 1. Trophy 2. Recognition. I think the later part is very important to me. I have been here for 10 months now, and I dint know as much people as we progressed through the tournament. And they recognize me too ;-)
It was the time for my 11th Grade admission. With clear hatred for biology subjects, I opted for electronics. I learnt and I practiced basics of electronics for two years. After developing my love for this subject, I had planned to pursue engineering degree in the same field. But unfortunately (or fortunately I don’t know), because of low score in CET I eventually graduated as a BE in Polymer Engineering (why this field: it runs like this – carpenter ka beta carpenter hi banta hai ;-) But today while working in the field of polymers, my knowledge from electronics dint go waste. I contributed to a project which brought insight on the particular process and the work was appreciated by my boss as important progress (almost a building block) in the project.
While we were in school, we had geometry as a part of our coursework. Although my favourite subject then, I used to question myself: “arrey ye sab kab use main ayega??” Well, let me tell you, this knowledge of mine also contributed in conjunction with the above mentioned effort for the said project.
While I was a kid, my mother used to lead me with examples. She used to tell that I should study such a way theat even if she dies one day; I should be able to score in a test scheduled next day (i.e. w/o studying). You will be amazed to know that I was selected after a job interview that a scheduled the next day of my father was hospitalized (of course for a minor surgery).
And there are a lot of other incidences to mention. But I guess I have already conveyed the point. You learn as and when possible. Following is a dialogue that come from a famous bollywood movie ‘3 Idiots’:- “gyan toh chaaro oar batt raha hai, jaha se mile lapet lo” Sounds so true!
P.S. And there are people who don’t learn at all !!

Anekda mi aikla ahe mulina boltana ki “tyachi baghaychi drushtich changali nahi ahe” kinva “sarkha bagahto ahe” ani ase barech kahi comments. Mala kharach vatata ki pratek baghanarya mulachi drusti vaitach asli pahije jaruri nahi ahe.

Click It Solve It Generation

These days I strongly feel that though keeping up with growing technology I still see some generation gap with respect to thought line with new generations. This generation is real lucky with respect to all technology but what they have not grasped is accepting rejection in any sort, whether the rejection is about getting something from parent or rejection for love proposal. These days’ newspapers are full of acid attacks, suicide, harassment, etc. This generation has really not grown up to understand the real meaning of love.  If someone is rejecting you  doesn't  mean you should wear that rejection. Instead the rejection can be channelized in good directions. History has proved that when rejection is channelized in right direction it has always been succeeding. Why we have to spoil the person’s life or dignity? If we really love the person, one should give space to him/her. It is all about respecting his/her decision. It may not be that rejection is only because t...

The Show Must Go On

"The Show must Go On"- We hear this many a times in our life. This is the best line for any show biz but it aptly suits our Life. Life is a show and whatever come, however broken you are the show must go on. Life should and will go on. At times Life hits you in every god damn way. It hits you emotionally, it hits you spiritually, it hits you mentally, it hits you financially, and many other ways. Sometimes life is so brutal that it hits you in all the ways at the very same time. It takes you to the rock bottom.  I think the biggest hit is Emotional Hit. Many a times emotional hit is by other person's behavior. Sometimes people just take unilateral decisions without informing others or the person who would be affected by it. They just decide for themselves and walk away. One of the surprise is that they just don't come back and try to sort things out or explain the situation. They dont come back to see what they have done and help them to overcome.  May b...
