Every Child Will Learn ......

Well all of u might be aware of Right to Education Act, implemented on 1’st April ’10 (if u r true Indian). It’s a significant step taken up by HRD ministry. The model rules define the concept of neighborhood schools and states that there will be no discrimination against the 25% children from weaker and disadvantaged groups who will get reservation. Relaxation for the minimum qualification for the teachers and much more, so overall it seems to be great step towards development of our country. If u see the main reason why our country is not so much developed though we are in much better position in resources , minerals …etc from other developed countries is lack of knowledge and implementation. It’s really annoying …………………. Govt. is trying it’s best to take our country to the next level but it’s not so easy without participation. By participation, I mean to address us... “We - The Indian citizens!!” the educated community. I do agree we have to take care of our family, our comfort ability, our profession; Everything is okay but can’t we devote an hour or so that too in weekends only for the upliftment of the weaker sections of our society ??Is it not our duty being an Indian to serve our nation n fellow citizens? The govt. is supporting to its level best, I think we should also come forward and give our support for this act of improvement of education in India. All we need to do is dedicate few hours of your time and share some knowledge. We can start by educating the weaker section people of our locality itself …kind of free tuitions; what we lack is initiative!!!! But why …why can’t we take up the initiative ……… It’s just laziness... I just request every Indian …C’Mon Wake Up…………Get motivated n be a motivation for others!....there are so many organizations who have taken up these initiatives ,so we can join our hands with them…….Nothing is Impossible… By this we can change our country’s perspective and make our country a better dwelling place……..

TrAnSiTioN ....Life@ENGG Coll ....

Hmmm…… after whole lot of problems, enormous discussions, finally I landed up in Chennai. ”Sathyabhama University”, only thing which me n my father knew about this coll was “It is known for its discipline and Placements” wat else is required; as my motive was to leave my home ASAP, as it will be very difficult for me to stay there anymore.‘Coz the last five moths of my life were haunting me like anything……….It was 24th Aug ’04; I reached with mom n dad to Chennai.First Day of the college, there was long speech by our Chancellor …do tell u guys it was horrible, his English ………a LKG student can speak better than him…………It was like I m in a different world, people surrounding were talking in their local language …. First shock to me that these people don’t know Hindi “Our National Language”……..Oh My God!!....... I don’t know How I m going to survive …….?I am very passionate about attire’s …….But when I saw my Chancellor in Lungi n Sunglasses……..:) I thought I m totally screwed up……..But I didn’t utter a word to my parent’s ,I know from my expressions they understood ……but there was no other go….We went to the hostel; rooms were nice, not a single plug point…….First the warden told like 4 persons per room; after the parent’s left, it changed to 6 people per room. There’s lot say abt coll life but I ‘ll try to keep it bit precise………So the happening journey of life starts here……..Initially it was very difficult to adjust …..Food, people……..but after some time I got adjusted...I was happy as most of my classmates were North Indian. So the journey begins here..Cricket season started in hostel …Branch wise …and but obvious ETC (Electronics n Telecom –Our Team) rocks-‘coz three gr8 Players Nishant, Agarwal n of course myself .In between one day I went to play Basket Ball, I fell down; some cramp –I took it very lightly and as that was a Hostel Day, loud music and lot of Dance …Dance I can’t control myself. At 11:00 p.m., I felt like, I m gone, I was not able to stand. We went to warden; He arranged one cab by which I went to doctor. Yaar I was already having pain in my legs, he gave one more pain, he gave an injection at my back that to in standing position……..God!!!!! Neways next day onwards again I started playing cricket; I can’t control myself n for that finally on next Sunday I went to Apollo …and that the end of the story …My ligament got displaced n I had to put on plaster for next 1 months……..It was again fun ‘coz daily bus use to come at my hostel to pick me up ….then again during lunch also a bus for dropping me till mess n take me back to classroom.(Our coll campus was too big….).At night we use to play 29(playing cards ),it was not allowed but “Rules are made to be broken.. :) ” it was awesome so many bets(to be very specific no gambling, no money involved ) …….it was all gr8 masti.Parallely studies were going on n I was one of the Topper’s in my class . I got one memento and a certificate for the same but a strange thing happened ,I remember, it was before the last exam of 2nd Semester –and after that vacations…….yipeee;Someone stole my memento from my room and also my fav T-Shirt which was famous in whole hostel.:(((In classroom I was like full of attitude I don’t use to talk to gals …..I used to get many comments n they kept my name as “Attitude”. From this I tell I was addressed as “Glamour Boy” by mallu group. It was like gr8 being there …….Finally the year ended n I decided to leave hostel as 2nd year hostel’s condition was pathetic.From here started a new phase of my life n I met 6 gr8 dumbasses with whom I spent my rest coll life. Life was like all about fun, masti and that’s it.Thanks to God I got really gr8 friends, Room-mates. They are like anything to me.We enjoyed life at it's full. We all were good at studies and good at......I remember the first time I smoke wid them......Drinks it was all fun.......There’s lot of stuffs that happened but I will share some of the special ones….. :) Let’s start with my first bday in Chennai…We bought a new Woofer System on 5th Aug'06 and 6th was my BDAy, as we started the player at around 11:30 pm the owner cut the power 'coz we were making to much of noise......Ha ha ah ah........So they gave me Bday bumps like anything, tied my legs using dog's chain to wall hanger and then I don’t want to recall the cond't of my back.....:)))))))) All of finally out of the hostel so we bought new mobile phones... :).It was not allowed in coll.Everyone of us bought an expensive phones latest in trend…..But it’s all fate one day when we came back from coll ….All the mobile phones were missing.:( We made a police complain but was of no use…….Every1 was like shocked wat to tell parent’s n ah…….Slowly every1 bought a new one n for me this time Moto Razr latest of that time n was very expensive but who cares status was everything at tat time……. But after few months again …….something terrible happened n my phone … no more :( (Sorry can’t share that…..) One more incidence which I can never forget... that happened wid me n Vikas…4th SEM, our university exams were going on ….Weather cond’t was too bad at that time in Chennai …Too much of rain …and water logging problem in Chennai; everyone is aware of ….There was power cut in our area, it was drizzling outside with heavy winds…..I think around 8:30 p.m finally when it stopped raining me n Vikas thought of gng to Ashu’s place as power was there in that area. We started but couldn’t get any bus …finally we got an auto. In midway the auto got struck as there was like water on the roads up to our waist …….Horrible situation n it started raining again… I remained in auto taking care of bag n Vikas stated pushing the auto wid the driver…..it was for abt 300-400 mts stretch any how when we reach to end auto’s engine got choked …now wat to do ? We got a lift from one Uncle going in same direction, in his scooter …On the way suddenly one tree fell on the road he gave an instant brake we got down … So we started walking ..then one electric pole was lying on road ….whole road was dark like nething finally after walking for 2 kms we reached Ashu’s place I think by 11:00 p.m. Both of us were shivering…….Damn study no way…we slept ….Next to next day was paper we studied whole day n finally the paper got postponed…:)I can never forget this incident throughout my life………..Then life was going on smoothly, daily some or other things used to happen….We shifted to another house .Pinal bought a bike ………One of the most adventurous activity which I did was at 11:00 in night me n Prashant (one of my friend) went to Mahabalipuram by bike , we reached there by 12:00 ,spent around half an hour n again back to Chennai .It was most weird thing which I did in that 4 yrs….. It was time for one more transition tat cam up in life ..........Wat everyone thinks of doing after goin to coll ..."Having a Girl Friend...!!!:):).."Started with Rohit then Kondi then Vikas ,Why should me n Akash n Pinal should be left behind ..........Now it was Akash's turn then Pinal also but I was left alone :(:(...Though I liked one gal very much but it was kind of one sided love but every story has happy ending (Wat we say b4 having a GF) she finally said yes....and from dat day Lyf was like completely changed .Not all 'coz of happiness but 'coz after 2 days our coll got over n we went to our native....... :( .Though as a group we njoyed loads worked hard (I doubt) to get placed n every1 of us got placed. hey hey… 1 sec something is mising yup none other than mamu(Sandeep pure Brahmchari jahaan dekhi naari wahi aank maari...Shayari specialist (original(C)))............ I can't share everything........SORRY:)but u i hope u can understand life @ engg coll will be always fun,"studies ---no way, only the night b4 the exams ha ha :)". Now back to the topic 'Transition'.......It's all about the transition that came into me once I left Hostel,started living with friends.So all the way from home staying wid parent's ,everything was like so smooth so easy ,no need to bother for anything but now onwards it was like things gonna change ,u r entering a world where all ur decisions will be urs only "An Independent Life " though depended on parent's only for money rest everything u need to manage.It was a great experience and who all made great is but obvious my roomies -Akash,Kondi,Pinal,Rohit,Vikas and almost a roommate Sandeep.They r simply great .Initially most of us were like unknown to each other, each one have belongs to different community, diff culture but only thing common in us was the way we think and that made our room the best. We care about each other, we were like we don't need any other friends actually what is the need Roomy Rocks. It was an awesome experience and till date we r still very close to each other though everyone is busy in their own life.I can't express myself how I felt last day of my college..! It was more about will miss my roomies it was such a gr8 experience’s forgot to tell u actually 5 of us got placed in Wipro and rest 2 in CTS(ne way they planned for Higher studies).Finally this way the coll life ended………………………:( ..Missing those Dayz…….

TRansiTion ---TRouBleSoMe......

The first blog of my life, don't know from where to start. Well it’s all about a transitions in life. Starting with school days --full of masti, exam-o-phobia, Thinking about gals, results, sports and every other thing. If parent's are not getting you the things you wish ,getting angry shouting on mother -general dialogue--"When I ll earn I will buy on my own, I will provide my child everything which u guys are not giving me”. Thinking of life in a college ---Getting inspired by movies specially K2H2. Will have all masti, cool gals and all those naughty naughty stuffs. But now days so much of study pressures --getting admission in good colleges is again a big tension. So much of competition’s much of tension pressure from society, parent’s teacher's. It's like hell kind of situation.......... I ll start with the High school phase. Let me tell u guys. A story ---I think it's like general day to day life and it might reflect your life at some instance.... My Life....... Let’s start wid 12th boards. But before that some background effects ...not to much just a short one. I was always a good at studies not great :) but above average. As everyone knows life after 10th board changes, u need to select the stream in which u want u to pursue your career. So I selected science as my stream, I always wanted to become an Engineer. As a scored pretty well in my boards ,I asked for bike to my father after lot of discussions at home finally my Grandpa agreed n finally on 1st Aug ’02 ,I got it .I can’t forget that day it was a really special for me though I demanded CBZ but I got Splendor. It was like different feeling once u enter High School, u feel urself like u r one of king of school .Senior student ha ha :) So class 11th was ok I did well in finals. Till this time I had no idea about what is IIT and what its level is? I was like from always if I ll do good at school results I get admission in some good college .In fact no one was there to guide me. When I came to 12th teachers started giving stress on entrance exams preparation then actually I came to know the level what actually IIT level is. For preparations as students were doing even I thought I should also join some coaching classes. But as my parents were also not having much knowledge abt it as in there time it was like score well in 12th and u ll get through, so it was like why to join any coaching classes better have a private tutor (One of the biggest mistake of my lyf). By the way most of my good friends were in Commerce section, most of the times they used to do masti though I used to go out with them but I made it a point that it’s not at all affecting my studies and I m not going to involve myself in any of the bad activities. So everything seems to be going smooth .Till then I was like very shy, I don’t use to talk to gals. I think after two three months of 12 I started talking to gals (commerce my friend’s friend), so it was like they also become part of our group and we used to hangout together but still my focus was more on studies, these activities goes on parallel ‘coz I can’t c failure in lyf in fact I don’t have that much courage to face it. Gals are there in ur circle so obviously for a status symbol u need a bike which I already had ,and a mobile .So a new demand to parent’s ,and but obvious parent’s are bounded to fulfil child’s wish and nonetheless my sweet grandpa was always there for me, I got a mobile. Lot of distractions in my life................Hmmmm :), actually I don’t think these are distractions these are necessity but from parent’s point of view these are distractions. Any ways apart from all these stuffs my grandpa was not well from last 2 yrs. He was on complete bed rest. My boards were approaching so I was more into studies but I do agree that mobile at that point of time was bit distraction in my case. But most of the time I used to think about my Grandpa ‘coz somewhere in my heart it was there that I m going to loose him soon which was really intolerable for me. I loved him the most in my lyf and him too. So it was like from 28th Feb My boards r going to start n my first paper was Physics .I started preparation for it a week back .The day I fear the most came –“Dark Phase of my life started”-26th Feb My Grandpa got admitted in hospital. I used to go n meet him every evening. Any how I gave my first paper it was ok types to be very frank I was not able to concentrate much in studies ,most of the times it was like I don’t want to loose him. The situation at home was like they called all the family members and situation was like, he will be leaving us at any moment so it’s better that everyone should meet him one last time. I never want this day to come but it came. It was 1st March ’04, in evening I came back from tuitions and went directly to hospital. Doctor’s have put food pipe in my grandpa’s nose and he was like dying with pain. They even tied his hands so that he shouldn’t pull out the pipe. I saw him n he was crying tears started coming out my eyes and he was like calling my name n asking to remove that pipe, I went near to him, I touched his hands .I cant stop my tears I went out of the room my grandma came, I cried a bit n then again I went inside .I felt like something wrong. I saw his pulse is going down in CRT I got worried ,I called doctor n I call my uncle as he just came to hospital my father just left. He told like sometimes it happens but it happened again and grandpa cried my name n then my uncle’s ................I called doctor’s they gave injections but of no use he was no more. I was almost dead, I think more than 1 yr after this incidence I cried daily but no one was there to share or understand my pain. A last word of my grandpa...-He was calling my n my uncle's name b4 dying.... I can't express in words how painful it is, someone whom u love most in ur life dying in front of calling ur name and u r helpless. I was totally shattered but still I have to keep smile on my face for sake of my family, specially my Grandma. My life became hell after that ............I can’t express my feelings. U knows all Hindu’s, especially Marwari culture, so much of rituals etc...On death ceremony, so, for next 15-20 days my house was crowded. Everyone was like go n study Ankit u board exams r gng...How’s ur preparation? What the hell..... Can't they understand wat pain I am going through? No one was there for showing the correct way to this tender hearted teenager. Anyhow boards got over.....okies I was trying to overcome whatever happened. I used to involve myself bit of studies, playing cricket in the evening. After seeing that competitive exams r near for Engineering entrance, one of my Uncle (I admire him most) called me up to his place for 3 months, for preparation. Though I used to study but it was like I have forgot what all I have studied all these days ,whatever I used to study was like new to me though I have already studied in 11th & 12th,but whom to tell this actually who will understand my feelings ..Everyone was like Ankit go n Study tat's it.......Those were my dark phases of life. Anyhow I gave the entrance exams not that well ,in meanwhile my board results came out everyone was like why didn't u studied this that .....yaar y u guys don't understand the situation I have been through!!! I will rather say my 12th result was too bad; I managed to score distinction at least :( Only my grandma supported me.... Life is like that only........!!!!!!! I didn’t score well in my entrance exams but I don't want to stay nemore there, 'coz I knew I won't be able to study, so it's better to take admission in whichever college I m getting. After a whole lot of problems and all monetary stuffs, a middle class family so it's very obvious. It was like 5 months of depression in my life. This was one of the few instances where life has taken a different turn... I will rather say the truth about transitions in life is "Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome" I ll rather say it’s anybody’s fault, it’s all fate. I m not accusing anybody for this, but I took it as if I have learnt something from other’s mistake .This will be helpful for me to take care of my children. I think parent should develop a friend kind of relationship with their child, So that he/she will never hesitate to share nething from them. So I think It might be bit saady kind of story, but don’t worry my next blog will be of full of hungama n masti that I had in my coll life.............
