Is there anything called perfect ! ! !

Is there anything called a perfect start? Is there anything perfect at all? Well for you something might be perfect but for some one else the same thing will be the other way round. To start something you can't wait for a proper beginning rather you have to make any beginning equivalent to perfect and carry on with the job.

If perfection was supposed to be the first step of the ladder then nobody would reach the top of it rather nobody would want to reach the top of the ladder.

Perfection can't be achieved at a blink of an eye rather one has to work hard to achieve it and what if one is not perfect, it is not mandatory at all that everyone has to be perfect in this breathing earth. You can survive without being perfect but coveting to become perfect is not bad too.

   

Thinking out of the box ! ! !

Everyone has got an opinion of their own and a method of thinking but a time comes when all the thinking and opinion runs on the same track, that is the time when one has to decide what to do for a living. Almost everyone starts and ends up on the same view, a government job and making loads of savings and if possible a trip every year, but is that the life you had been dreaming all your life, a mundane life and nothing else.

That is the time when you have to think out of the box, not because you are not getting a job but because you don't want to do it. You have to decide whether you want to lead a life different from others or follow the same life-style as others'. 

Now, who will take care of your parents? You will only take care of your parents but not by leading a mundane life, but by doing something you love to do and when you are happy, you will make your parents happy too. 

This is something which I had written earlier also but in a different manner. This is something that concerns you and your family and not anyone else.

 

We are entrapped ! ! !

Since the day we were born, we had been put inside a large chakravyu (as in MAHAVARATA), and we had never been taught how to get out of it. Our life
metaphorically symbolizes chaos and confusion. We are tied to many endless knots which are actually invisible to the naked eye, those can only be seen by the eyes of conscience. Sometimes we are tied with the knot of love and sometimes with money. Desire is the thread that creates the knots. You can not get hold of desire, as if you would do that then you would have reached the ultimate goal of anybody's life. Reaching the ultimate goal is not impossible but that amount of patience is lacking in anybody. We have been literally entrapped in the web of desire. 

Journey begins now ! ! !

So far I was searching for nothing but now I have got a goal to fulfill, a dream to make true and an aim to conquer and that is to find myself. If you are able to find your own-self out of all the odds, that would be something which you have accomplished so far. The moment you decide to find yourself, you have marked the beginning of your journey and that is going to be the ultimate journey. I too was ignorant about this but as I started reading "Siddhartha", I discovered something and that was really awesome, if you will find the real you or even if you are on that path then you don't need to find anything else in this world. The relief that you will experience will be something that you had never ever come across. Peace will be in abundance and you would be surrounded by serenity and calmness. 

 

Being mundane and getting out of it ! ! !

There comes a time in everybody's life when everything seems boring and mundane, joy resembles the last drop of water in the midst of a desert and you become a lost traveler. You find it the toughest of the chores to find a way out and just when you are almost about to give up, a second thought should be born and that should be the silver lining. If MUNDANE is all that is left with you and it is what you think everything will be around you, then better make it your attitude, be boring and be proud of it. Let everything be mundane and boring and when your mind will get saturated with that feeling then you will finally get out of it and you will find a way out. As you will find a way out you will realize that mundane and boring was a better you.

Help you help everyone else !

This world has grown into a parasitic place and people are turning out to be unbelievably selfish most of the times. Parasite is something that depends on something else for survival and does not give anything in return. Well if we think deeply then we are no less than parasites, we are there only for our needs and once it is over, we just vanish. It was always supposed to be a give and take but now it has only been take and take, the concept of giving has become extinct. Slowly this world s becoming a small place to live in where people think only about themselves. Now many people will say that how can one put everyone under the same category, well no one can deny this fact neither can anyone say that he has never done anything that would not resemble selfishness.   

Helping the needy !

Do you want to do something for the society and its development and help others? Then you are free to do it and you don't need anybody's permission before doing that ideal job. On your way of doing what you feel like, you will get many people and of many types. Optimism is one such ism which you will have to have in plenty as you will be surrounded by pessimists. Many will suggest you to take the help of someone powerful, but do you really think that one who will not understand your intention will be able to help you.

Neither you need anybody's permission nor anybody's support to help others, the only thing that you have to be is a person of will and should be able enough to invest yourself without taking the help of others. If anyone is willingly wanting to help you, you must not stop them as they too have the same intention and they are not doing any favor, they are just using you as a medium to help others.

 

When do you want to fulfill your dreams ?

We are humans and we ought to have dreams, otherwise our lives are useless. The question is,"When are you going to fulfill those?" You will be thinking that it is not even the beginning of our lives so why waste time on dreaming, rather work hard on the present. You are not wrong but you are not completely right, working on your dream and thinking upon it is never a waste of time. If you are going to lead an ideal life and trying to make the phrase correct, "life begins at forty", then better forget about your dreams. Who in this world knows that he is going to cross the forty mark and then he will be fit and fine enough to turn his dreams into reality. It is now or never, it is never too early to start rather sometimes it can be too late and you will realize it when you will be on the death bed. 

What are you from inside?

It is really hard to know yourself when there are so many things you are up to. You do not get the opportunity to discover yourself when you indulge yourself into so many activities and if you don't indulge you will not be able to find out what you are actually capable of doing. Either way you are into a big trouble, the largeness of the trouble will be known by the amount of time you are spending on thinking about it. The best part is if you start indulging yourselves into various activities, you will lose time, but you will get to know your abilities. What you are actually from inside can't be reflected outside as the ones who are seeing you, don't have the same level of maturity. 

Don't allow change to overpower you !

I have always mentioned that change is the only thing that is permanent but one thing should always be kept in mind that, "I am someone and I will not change that someone from within". One should change and allow change to happen around him but he should never forget what he was as that would be hypocrisy. Change helps you to compare yourself with no one but you, but if you forget what you were; then that comparison is simply impossible and there change loses it's existence and everything becomes mundane again.
 

Hostel !

                                                      

                                                              HOSTEL

Life is like a canvas which is gradually filled with various colors with the passage of time, our growing age makes beautiful paintings on the canvas of life and the respective stages of life fill the colors in those paintings. Hostel life is one such stage, which can be either miserable or filled with fun, depending on the time and the place in which that stage began in your life. I know a person who has been through this and has seen the extreme ups and downs of hostel life. Raju had been admitted to one such hostel when he was just eight and was far away from home, which was the very first time that he had been so far from home. He hardly knew what he had to do to survive in that kind of environment and he had no one there to help him. Adapting to new people and a completely new place like Agra and learning their accent were the biggest barriers which he had passed easily but hard times were yet to come. Extreme level of torture was waiting for him and he was ignorant about that. He loved to live in the present and hardly cared for the future, there are very less kids who are of eight and start planning their future but it was that time when torture dawned on him and he was really very worried. He was beaten up by some bullies; he was helpless and could not even complain as he was threatened. He was a victim of ragging that too of extreme level, he was ragged physically. He was so weak that he was not even able to defend himself, he was looted all the time, all his pocket money was snatched and his food too. He could not tell anything to his parents as they would not ask about it and he would go home only twice a year. He always remained afraid and panicked from inside and prayed for the end of that life and asked for strength. Soon after the death of his grandfather his father decided not to educate him in that residential school and that marked the end of his early hostel life and all the torture that he had to face.

So this was one color of hostel life which is completely red as far as Raju is concerned and after reading that most of the parents would not love to send their children to hostels. This does not mean that hostels are bad, only the situations are wrong and the people too. But today if you ask Raju about his hostel life experience he will tell you something else as his worst memories are replaced by some beautiful memories and experiences at his college hostel.

Raju is studying Civil Engineering from a college under a state university in India which is a very different place from Agra and Raju was 19 when he had entered the hostel room this time. Unlike most of them Raju was experienced as far as hostel was concerned, he used that to his advantage and that helped him a lot. It hardly took moments to become comfortable with the pupils out there. He was the superstar out there, he was everybody’s friend and hardly hesitated to do anything, of course the good things and was there for anybody’s help. It seemed as if hostel was his home. First year of any under graduate is normally filled with an unwanted fear of ragging but this was not the situation for Raju, he was ready for anything as nothing can be worse than what he had been through. It was like a fairytale for him, as everything was perfect but nothing stays perfect and as I always say change is the only thing that is permanent. Situations changed in a blink of an eye for Raju as he had thought that situations would remain the same for him but it can never be possible. In his second year, he met with an accident and when he returned to his hostel after a month or two, situations were completely different. There were groups everywhere; unity was just a word by then as everyone was busy managing groups. Raju could see the upcoming politicians of the hostel, but that still did not concern him as he thought that things could still remain the same for him but it was not that easy. Politics was hovering around the hostel and inside it too. It was really chaotic out there; still he was enjoying the hostel life. One thing that reduced all the tension was the fun they had and they were thirsty for fun all the time, which was something that united all the groups. Everyone out there was pretending and no one was ignorant about that and no one was ashamed about it too. Still that made him happy that he was staying in that kind of hostel where fun was the USP.

Raju is in third year now and is striving to fight all the politics around him but he does not miss out on the opportunities of making the most of the happy moments. He doesn’t know what is there for him when he graduates and is ready to make his future bright.
