Nights...

nights are always beautiful...

In moon light world is beautiful,
without moon sky it self beautiful;

While sleeping dreams are beautiful,
sleepless nights' remembrances it self beautiful;

spending night with someone is beautiful,
spending it self is beautiful....

nights are always beautiful...:)

I just thought...

People out there in sea can only see water and are scared...those at shore can see water as well as some part of world and enjoy...those in the sky have overall view and smile...

:)

We know only things which MEDIA (printing or digital) tells us...we are like 'People on shore'... people affected by this 'war'(soldiers or civilians) are like people who are surrounded by all these stuff...they are like 'people in the sea - who actually feel the turbulence and don't know what is really going on, just doing the task given / are affected by whatever is going on'... people at the top(politicians or diplomats) are like 'those in the sky' - only they know what is happening and why...they are just smiling, nothing touches them...

About Life:

People who are in the problem really feel situation and can't see anything except problem, no hopes...people who are well settled and happy who enjoy their life are people at the shore... Great god is 'those in the sky'...who knows what is exactly happening and why...:)

Just Thought Something and Written...:)

leak or no leak ...it's a patience test...

It's high time for a serious CAT aspirant who took CAT on Nov 2010. While results being declared on 12th Jan, 2011; reports of a leak of results has mput all guys (and puys) on fire. Some of the students have seen their score-cards while many (like me) are just keeping their fingers crossed.
It's a very very hot topic of discussion on almost every forum and thread of popular mba websites.

Well, I haven't seen my scorecard yet - fortunate enough. I am just waiting for 12th jan. Hope I get what I deserve.

Clap and Laughter....

I am feeling very very low and I don't know where to write. In fact, I don't even know if I will be able to express my self or not.

28th December 2010 - the best day of my life - when I got a Gold Medal. It was for I secured highest marks in Project. I was not at all happy because I got it for my BE, I was happy because it was for the first time in my life I got something that I had ever dreamed of. I had been a consistent topper till std. 10 during my school days, but my school never recognized it - though some of the teachers of it did. I have been good for a long time but all I had done was to clap - I never got a clap of my dream (and that was the reason why I was just standing and smiling at photographers and audience for the longest time on stage when I got medal !!). I felt it was not - not at all - for my bachelors but for the work I did till my bachelors. I finally for the first time got a clap of my dream.

As usual, a story can never have happy ending. The time came when clap was followed by laughter. I do not get a job. Well, let me tell you it all started when I joined and hardly completed 2 months. I get to know that the project for which I was recruited was shelved !!! I was transferred from projects to manufacturing. I had to work with shift chemists(Msc Chemistry) and operators (SSC pass) and some routine stuff (for which there is no need to do engg.!!!). I took leave and talked to my mentor about this and he tried to arrange me in projects unit but who nothing could save me. I went back and asked a very first question - has my profile changed? Got a very quick reply - your profile will be the same (you have to come in shifts in manufacturing only). Interestingly, my answer was spontaneous - then I resign. It was 7th December, 2010.

Let me be honest, luck has changed. My all the offer letters were blocked. It was in about 3 companies (good companies) where salary was also decided and offer letters were to be dispatched in a week but I never got them. It was in more than 5 companies where all my interviews well went but they said will think. The others think - I am either not suitable or I am an impossible stuff. A laughter.

It is the time I learned that ones' achievements can even be their negative points when one is applying for a job. Some feel my project is un-realistic !!! It is the time that taught me a lot of things. A laughter.

Then what keeps me going ?

Faith? if yes, in what?
Confidence? if yes, for what?
hope? if yes, about what?

I am still to find - what is what?

VMSS smashed...

It was 6:40pm on a Saturday on 19th June 2010 when I headed towards the bal bhavan to play TT from my home. I was a bit relaxed this time as I had left early for about 5 min than my usual time. I used to reach at the venue at sharp 7 as we had only an hour to play and I never wanted to miss out a single possible second of it. On previous days, we had a farewell for Preyas and PGVatika plans because of which we couldn't go for a game.

It was 6:30pm when I messaged my friends to be on time. As I reached near kashivishwanath, i found that traffic is being diverted to the polo ground. I was unable to identify why and was starring at the empty road ahead which was blocked. Seeing this, a traffic police man answered me that it is due to vadodara Carnival festival while the other one whistled me to move ahead quickly. Without thinking much, I started my bike - as there is a problem of tuning and battery is not working..:P

Story begins now, I could not see the road as it was so full of the vehicles. Some how, I managed to travel till next cross roads in about 15 min!!! (it is hardly half a kilometer!!!) from where I needed to take a left turn and moving on the periphery of polo ground I had to come to the other side of the road -which was closed. In this whole exercise, it had already taken 45 min. which could have taken hardly 5 min. if the road was not closed.

School students were dancing and singing on the roads and there were many trucks probably it was like a huge rally. Swarnim Gujarat and vadodara carnival posters were put almost everywhere. For the first time in my life, I had no time to appreciate such a carnival thing. My cell was showing time 7:15 and I remembered my messaged of "Be On Time". I barely noticed anything about the road festival. How can anyone appreciate when in the evening, at the peak traffic hour the roads are closed and when the main road(4 lane) traffic is diverted to 2 lane road after which it becomes only a single lane road with vehicles coming from both the sides and no restriction or alternate arrangements for the buses and trucks?!!!

It was already 7:25pm and I had only 35 min left with me. Before I start playing the game, I felt I was already smashed by VMSS - Vadodara Mahanagar Seva(!!!) Sadan...Jai hind...

Game Without The Queen

I have been playing CHESS for a long a time & many times I have lost queen & also have exchanged which is usual. Queen being one of the most powerful piece in the Game Of Chess has been a favourite option to choose to turn a pawn into a 'piece'.

But what happened one day while playing the game is that the opponent lost his queen and quit. I have seen many people resigning or quitting & leaving in between the game solely because they have lost the Queen as if there is no other piece in the game. And this tendency increases especially in case this happens in the earlier stages og the game. A fewer play in these conditions - to win. It's my feeling when a player plays without queen, he plays with real instinct. He understands true value of a piece - of each of the pieces taking himself above the 'piece value'. The player really applies all his best strategies to win.

Sometimes he wins and many times he looses but there is one thing in this case that he will take, Satisfaction. Satisfaction of being in the game - the war - the life.
Yes, that is what i want to say . Correlating chess with life has been a matter if philosophy & observation & understanding. Let me relate Queen to the strength of life, the essential part, the most important or say success (for many) and King to the Aim, purpose of life. Life contains many other values and strengths & they are other pieces of the game, not having the same strength as Queen but unique in nature. Loosing piece can be understood as what we call as 'hard Luck'.

In life hardest luck comes sometimes. Now, it becomes the choice of a player - the begining of the game or the end. No, it can't be the end because the game is won by mating KING and NOT QUEEN. In fact , it's the beginning of the war-the game. It's when we come with the best strategies. It's when we put our strengths and skills on the edge of our own examination. It's teh time we must not QUIT. It's the time to enjoy the game - the LIFE. After all, BEST OF ONE'S COMES IN THE WORST.

Excoriated by the thoughts...

This is today, the day of 16th sept '08, when the thoughts excoriate me a lot...
Thoughts about managing college study & CAT preparation. What do I do now? How do I do now? I am knowing that I have already wasted so many days without doing anything.
I had almost lost my ambition, say just before reading the Chetan Bhagat's speech.

In college, today, my friend prashant told me about the speech that Chetan bhagat had given in Symbiosys. I was truly really impressed, of course I aked for it in the evening. He gave me & I am writing these things just after reading that thing. I have got my SPARK...

Yes, I got failures in executing my schedules because they didn't have any SPARK... Actually, indeed, I had lost my spark.

Now I am getting that again... Yeah, I got failure in executing the plans; so what? Does that mean, I will give up preparing them? No, not at all; I have already made that mistake. If I don't preapare the plans, although they are not executed, I will even some time loose the chance - even a chance - to execute them.

I ahve a SPARK to get the 1st rank...I have SPARK to be the Best ... Now, I have the power to make my plans - plannings - successful.

why Carryforward?????

I have given the name of Carry forward......because each of the thought that passes through my mind carries me forward in each step of my life...In each span of my life...

Thought About Struggle

'struggle'.. seems v.simple word but even a bit of it when comes One truly realizes & believe me not every1 gets real struggle & hence SUCCESS...................

I am sometimes truly feeling very lucky as I am getting such kind of failures & I...I always...Why I always get such enormous kind of Struggle... I sometimes feel that it will lead me to the way... to the destination...

Yes & that's the only thing I feel that gives me the potential to live else I have nothing to do as such in this world......
