Life as it "UNFOLDS"

Well as little dramatic as it may seem, this is something which everyone looks forward to. May it be of the Kal Ho Na Ho genre (sad) or the Munna Bhai type(hilarious), it is something which holds the key to one's very existence. What do you think would have happened if one told you your future? Dont laugh it off when I say that you would do absolutely everything in your powers to make sure that it doesnt happen. As insane it might seem, but trust me it is absolutely practical.

I will take you through a small story(not some fairy tale or granma's stories).Let us say take the looming placement scenario as our point of reference; with people having sleepless nights before the placements. How about we introduce a twist in the tail. Suppose someone comes around claiming to be a forecast man(call him Baba). Somehow a couple of His guesses truly work out. People tend to believe a bit more in his prophecies. He starts charging a nominal fee and people are more than eager to oblige. Now that the race for dreams and super dreams begin to hot up, students are more curious. "Kisiko bola ki tu MS main jaega to kisiko Maruti main." Everyone's happy, they start counting chickens before the eggs hatch. Then comes the Judgment Day. No one had been serious as they knew the results before hand. And then everyone trusted Baba.

But anticipating the worst Baba packed up(with his cash ofcourse). And sadly his concerns were justified absolutely. Guess the moral is pretty apparent hence I wont bother to write it.
Let time take its course never try hustle things up.

Who rulz??

Here we have one issue which obviously is absurd (No points for guessing that). Each person reading this blog will have an answer of his own and believe me, I expect nothing less. Some would say ManU rules, some would say Chelsea(EPL and Champions' League: Any football fanatics out there?), some would say Aussies(the number would be significantly less in India after the current triumph though ) where as many would say its Sachin(highly ambiguous again but not for my dear friend RAM).
The real purpose of this "absurd question (if you care to call it so!!!) " was simply to find if there is anyone out there whose answer is "I RULE the world". Because if you want to, the least you could do is to say it aloud and make yourself comfortable with the numerous glaring eyes that would scan you head to toe. Many can talk, but the right person is one who has courage to stand upto it. Let people expect something from you, let them count on you when they are in a spot of bother. This exercise my friend will do one very important thing my friend, it will tell you who to fall back on in case you get into hot waters; and trust me you will know the right persons at the right moments.

Academia - The last nail in any student's coffin...

Whats with the profs these days? Who are they angry with ? The system, the students or themselves? A question which every professor must at least look at answering before he prepares to take a class. Standards of education have fallen to unimaginable depths over the course of time. Things already been obsolete are key portion of the academia where as those in news remain there.
Some ask not to disturb and simply leave the class after attendance where as someone else simply asks to take a nap. But are these solutions to this problem? Instead of forcing students to staple their eyelids to avoid dozing, shouldn't the quality of education be improved so that its motivation rather than fear which keeps people awake in the classes. Rules for grade reduction due to shortage of attendance might seem like a landmark decision but trust me a few years from now the higher echelons would definitely regret the day they decided to "impose" it. I dont see any problem if someone is able to read and study better on his own rather than sit idle in the class for hours at a stretch.
Gone are the days when a job was the Final Fantasy for an Engineer. You get them as easy as crossing a busy street i.e. just keep yourself alert and you are through(of course with the occasional hit.)Tomorrow demands people of today to be well prepared to face e crisis not be the ones creating them.
Its high time the feedback from students are really looked into, otherwise it wont be long before the very "gurus" of our society will turn into its worst enemies. We are evolving, our minds developing and the world is changing; so give me one damn reason why our education should not???

About Me

Believe when I say that there is not much to know "About Me" which someone would like to hear. But something I would want all to know about me is "I am the last person in the world who would give something up without a tussle".

I like to fight against the "non obliging" systems (haven't spared even my coordinators at Sun Microsystems) .

Being someone who doesn't "demand" accolades for something good, I become terribly disappointed if people misread my intentions and action and shower "unpleasantries" instead.

Any ways, I feel I am good enough pick for a good friend; being my friend is really worth a try.

So Far ...

Life is like vintage wine, the older it is the better it tastes. Days when I was a "kid", every other moment I wished "God just grant this wish of mine. Please make me big enough to stay independent." Now that God has granted this wish (to some extent), the only thought that comes to me in solitude is"God I realize I made a horrible mistake. Just forgive my stupidity and make me a kid, again". Everyone changes, someone slow and someone fast;guess I am one of the later.

So far its been lots of fun and little sadness.
Aage aage dekhte hain hota hai kya??
