Cultural Divide or simply Backwards??

We all love our country so much, even with all its problems and weaknesses we are proud of it, just like we feel for our spouses ☺. But then again in a country with a population of more than a hundred and ten crores and very few good higher education institutes the fate mostly seems gloomy for further generations, more so with a larger chunk of population getting education each year.

Is it because we are culturally so education oriented or are we simply backwards?

I sincerely feel that the government, private organizations and other SME’s should create enough jobs to let the people studying feel free w.r.t. getting a job. What results in an unwanted pressure for students in their early careers can probably be hence made a little relaxed to let them pursue things in life where there interests lie rather than vesting it entirely in studies in order to lead a socially acceptable life thereafter.
To support this, the officials could even make sports as an attraction by making them appeal more glamorous, for which a strong way to lay foundation is by providing the current players with the entire infrastructure, facilities they deserve and grooming the potential they have. I am sure if India can stretch its Olympic medal list further, it would go a long way in setting sports as a viable career for the future generations though their parents’ lenses.
Awareness can also be propagated through all the big names in art, music, direction, drama by opening good nation wide schools to learn the same which are endorsed and carefully followed by them.

All these things would take time to implement but I am sure that if India can manage to somehow curb its problems we are capable of producing and grooming any level of talent in any field and with a sense of direction and broader thinking lines we can reach where we ought to.

I hope someday a middle class parent would say proudly that my son ,Aarav,all of 24 is a full time squash player, plays for the state team and others round him would envy him rather than looking down at him.

LONELINESS....

DISCLAIMER:The views expressed in this post are entirely personal,any reference to it would get u entirely nostalgic!!

I was just wondering what the difference is between a contented, satisfied person and a lonely successful person and it didn’t took me long to figure out that its that “someone” that makes your life complete which makes all the difference. In this modern cosmopolitan atmosphere we come across so many people, socially, personally and professionally. But its just a handful of them that we strike instant chemistry with and perhaps only one or two that come close. Its really hard to imagine life in full circle in which people come, go ; even success comes and shines low after sometime but we as human beings with an incessant thirst of ”more” always crave and ignore things as they come and being a hypocrite ,preach otherwise. Many of us would have found “the one” in our early phases of life but showing our true human being characteristics ignored them in a thirst for something else seeming more cherishable that time or maybe even hoping to find a better” one” later. But trust me on this, success, money, happiness don’t form a cluster of togetherness everytime. There are times when u are professionally rewarded (success),have a fatter bank balance but essentially miss happiness more so because u miss “the one” .The one that u perhaps had some time back ,the one that u ignored bcoz of your irresistible temptation for other things and one that is now gone and gone forever.It feels terribly disappointing and frustrated when u have everything u ever wanted but the person whom u wanted it to share with. Moral of the story is “When u find ur true companion,which I call “the one” just stand by him/her,have trust & work hard in your life .You’ll some day realize that when you achieve success that may be measurably less that what u may have otherwise got,it would be rather more qualitatively cheerful and satisfying .Therefore in essence, success for me is a combination of health,money and relationship all having equal weightages and priorities.

“To ignore them takes a fool - plz don’t do that to yourselves.”

Of bschools and its pressures

Well its almost been three months into my PGDM and let me tell u its really a demanding course...and that is for various reasons.First, i needed to get away with the last minute preps mode of engg :( coz the evaluations here aren't at the end..infact the end terms carry almost the least weightage among all parameter viz. assignments,quizzes,presentations,class participation,mid terms,etc.
To tell u simply it was nothing less than a torment literally..wat i went thru in the first few dayz....its a breeze of change literally when suddenly u as a fresher are involved in a group activity with people having experience of 5-6 years in the industry and are xpected to give ur inputs and direct the discussions and in a class when u realise that when u know any answer...its almost everyone who does that...and when u dont have a clue with it even then u see a no. of people ready with answers,and when u put in ur best in some quiz and score 80-90% u find that is the class average...with 50% of ur peers securing cent percent....which becomes more visible when u get ur end term CGPA..which easliy rules u out of the top 50% of class.
Moving further u find that VA and communication which was ur strength in CAT seems something which comes naturally to everyone visible in their presentations.
About xtra curriculars u find that almost eveyone is better than u in sports be it Table Tennis,basketball,cricket,vollyball,any thing.I have literally had a tough time in establishing myself as a competitive student with decent xtra currics ...
Of late lady luck has been kind enuff on me..i represented my 1st year team in tug of war on Onam which v won almost very easily and jst today i led my team "GODs" to victory in management game among 13 other teams involving seniors and juniors.I am also doing good in cricket and getting better at table tennis.This has brought a lot of attention on my side and people have started knowing me atleast...My 1st term results wud be out very soon and today writing my first blog in PGDM and i jst wanna thank god,the almighty for all his backend support and jst wish the lady luck showers her blessings on me in future ofcourse with efforts on my side...
cyaa...i'll be back soon with another blog!!!

Purpose of life??

Oct 3 ,2007
sitting under a tree of an air conditioned hall or may b my favourite hangout...i often try 2 figure out wat exactly is the purpose of our living..

is it like v r living jst 4 the sake of living or is it somethng else..lets try n find out!!

case 1:born 2 a middle class:-u study hard..work hard nd then at a point in life when u realise u hav enough money 2 fulfill ur fantasies u r possibly aged enough more 4 a hospital than a mercedes.ultimately ur life has just been torterous hard work nd a wee bit(almost nothng)of enjoyment!!!

case 2:born 2 a lavish buisness family:-u get these things first hand just when u get 2 know about them..u end up being spoiled literally nd make a waste of ur life doing notng bettr than may b helping in ur father's buisness.result:most people look at u through ur father's skin,a lost identity in most cases..

case 3:born 2 a "there is no money ,honey" family u get 2 know wat education really is jst when u hav passed those primary years of ur life.

life is again a waste bcause in a world like 2day u stand nowhere without education.

i still can't figure out what really is our motive or rather the so called sucess parameters....is it devoting our life to god or is it about making money or may b is it just about living happily....what??????????
