Monsoon

The first drop of the rain, landing on the mysteriously beautiful and ever caring mother earth, bringing with it is the absolute fragrance of the joy with a meticulously packaged energy to the cheer mongers. Joins to this is the absolute oft forgotten breeze carrying the aroma of the wet mud. Ah! All pervading source of happiness is here to bring the start of another festivity season. This is the time to go get up and enjoy the nature’s gift to the mankind, “Thou shall join you very soon”, whispers Monsoon.

Greenery all around and muddy waters everywhere, children playing around with dirt everywhere, does anyone have a concern for the horrible wear? I guess not as the enjoyment is breathing in the air. The smiles of these faces are bringing cheer to all, children can trill and monsoon will frill, bringing all obsolete doubts to fall.

Rain does hamper our commuting; still it acts fair keeping us indoors and where is your family that was complaining? Happy faces all around, eating the sweets and singing the festival songs, farmer is happy and so is the clown. Sweat of the hot days are long gone by, wet is the mantra for the days to come by. Lets all enjoy and greet each other, dusserha and diwali will join us together.

All foretold the colors of life; depicts the rainbow with red blue and white. Sun does come down and says you a ‘hi’, brings with it the clouds which never says ‘bye bye’. Working life can get you to be a meek, while the child in you plays hide and seek. Let him come out and play to the best; good old days are long gone but life is still at its full zest.

Enjoy the monsoon, be a kid. Life is here, to be your fid.

So Called First

Hmm, for a start, whatever you are going to read now is the start of, one of the beautiful phase of our lives, THE college life. Thank god! For getting into a college like Ramaiah, because this is where I met some wonderful people who actually made a difference, whom I had never met till then. I would like to tag my college under Bindass category and it is really worth 99%. I thank all my friends for being with me and making life so beautiful. In fact I learnt a lot from them. I often wonder how can people be so nice; and all nice people are friends of mine.. Nice na….huh..

Alright, I will talk through about my first day in MSRIT, oops! My second day as the first was orientation which I missed.
The first (second) day in college, I was just able to manage to reach the entrance. Here began the confusion, and the biggest confusion was the MSRIT building itself, which had many entrances. I was looking at people going in many ways but I was clueless where was I supposed to go. I followed the crowd as nothing flashed to me at that time. Up front was a huge campus inside, and made life difficult as all corners seemed the same. It was nothing less than a territory, it was Ramaiah’s empire.. This search landed me no where and before I could know it was time for me to go home. This unfinished search was supposed to be extended for the next day too. Next I saw a guy who was studying in one corner, he looked so studious that I felt he was not the ragging kinda person so I approached him. But after a few months in college I realized that people in engineering study only during internals: after few years that few study before exams ALONE.. Coming back, I went to him and asked him for 1st semester classes, in response he asked about the room number which was given the previous day in the function. God!!! I realized the importance of first day. And then he suggested me to go to office and ask. Where will I searched for office? /\?..
As I was walked around, I found a lecturer, and he took me to the notice board and clarified my doubts and gave me all the details required to go to telecom classroom. I then went to class, interrupted the lecturer, as it was the first day I was excused. It was a great relief. There was a surprise awaiting me in the class. You know why, first of all I had a seat somewhere in the second last bench, no one on either side to ask or clarify about what’s happening. Add to that the Lecturer was discussing oscillators, blah blah… which I had never heard , but still it was fine as everything was fresh. What surprised me even more was the chorus sound with which the students where shouting out the answers for everything the teacher asked. At last she told that this was our syllabus. I thought, I went for a toss at that moment thinking that syllabus was completed and I missed everything. I was thinking that this is the way all engineering colleges teach complete syllabus in one hour: then why the hell 6 months. I comforted myself saying if they can do it in one hr even I can do: something had seriously gone wrong .Attendance sheet was passed and I dint expect my name not to be in that.. Conversely my name wasn’t there and I had no one around me to ask, so I just passed it .The period ended and I got to speak about that attendance with few girls over there ,it was then that I got to know, that I am in electronics class and not in telecom. Can anything go as bad as this?? Yet I was happy that I am not in the class where they finish syllabus in 1 hour .Next I went in search of telecom class room and this time I dint wanted to make any mistake so I confirmed before entering the class. She started telling me something about coming late but I was in such a situation that I dint listen to anything she told except the last statement “don’t come late from next class”. I took to my seat, dint even speak till the class ended as I dint want any further trouble. It was such a relief at the End! The Girl I sat next to was the one whom I had called few days back in order to confirm some things about admission. I Felt sense of easiness as I got to know one whom I knew virtually previously. Everything then was fine and it was a great day; it was the first day and I like the “first”. I mean, whatever I so call my first is very special to me. However I dint know that they will give us classroom number and such details on the induction, otherwise I would have not missed the orientationJ. From then I repeatedly tell others not to miss orientation day, else they would be in trouble (but I am sure not as much as me). Hmm alright that was my first day which was too nice that’s why I do remember it always..

Joyous Fun

Thomas Alva Edison once said, “If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves”. Sensing any misadventure, one would just halt the proceeding confounding to vicious thoughts of ones minds. Are we doing any justice to ourselves by halting our progress? Or is it mandatory to look at every expedition with an eye on success? Every day throws up a new pleasuring challenge, which when worked upon to the fullest, one can find both success and pleasure.

While defining success one has to understand that, success gives you pleasure: but not every pleasure gives you success. A happy day does imply that you have been successful in living that day, which most of the time we forget. Few simple things can make a lot of difference. Enjoying whatever we do forms the crux for most of the pleasure. How far are we successful in doing that? Hardly any! We keep forgetting that we have a life to lead and we won’t get our days back. Agreed, it’s easier said than done. Agreed, there are many priorities in life. Does that mean that life doesn’t fall in the priority list? If that’s the case then think once again, we might not be seeing the blue light of Pleasure, Fun and Joy.

Worst of the times is said to get the best out of man. In the times of adversity one has to maintain ones cool and try to find a solution to come out of the troublesome spots. Well its here that we can get to see a lot of people fall. Nothing comes on a platter. Then why expect pleasure and success to be picked so easily. Expectations such as these make one to think down and loose focus. Counting the cards, it’s neither the time nor the problem that makes a man strong. It’s the strength and the will that helps one. A positive and a never say die attitude, mixed with a glimmer of confidence and abundance of fun would help in reaching the goals and achieving life.

The tougher things can be taken a bit lightly. The funny side of a situation at times relaxes and makes us look at the problem reduced to a proportional size. Its here that the easier path to solving the problems begins, a lighter mind can come out with many solutions. Most of the times the optimal ones, a cool mind set does help in many ways and would as well give all the troubles a run for the money.

The culmination seems to be in, thus enjoying and having fun at whatever the situation we are facing. Being thrown into a tough situation teaches us a new lesson and in turn gives us an opportunity to see the funny side of the problems. All of us are capable enough to enjoy our lives. Just by living the life to the fullest by being joyful and enriching it with fun, we can astound everyone with no complications of life.

It’s quite simple, just smile, laugh, enjoy and have a great life. Not everyone gets a second chance. And the first ones are not that bad either. Make the most of every given opportunity. So let’s rock and have Fun!!!!!

“Life is like Saturday Night let’s do Balle Balle!!”
