New Girl In The University!


The title seems familiar isn't it? All thanks to 'Wake up Sid's Ayesha Banarjee, I guess. Well,standing at an almost similar point the title immediately struck my mind. Her New Girl In The City seemed to be so fresh,and today when I have just entered a new phase of my life I feel almost the same. I am awed by everything that's coming my way, Maine toh socha hi nahi tha sab itna different hoga :). College seemed to be so closed, so protective and university feels as if someone's left a bird free to fly wherever it wants to, with no boundations or limits set but just a direction that it has been given which it may or may not follow. Bada ajeeb lag raha hai, really. Things have always been sorted for me,like always, that "always" planned good life that almost every teen wants. But NOW this is something! The plans have failed, the directions have changed, the feeling is only of being 'lost' amidst this shor in the city and nothing else. That feeling when your family says 'Ab tum bade hogaye ho' is sinking in slowly. It's a very absurd feeling, a very happily absurd feeling. In masters, I am studying  jo main humesha se padhna chahti thi, this feeling is beautiful. The phase which I guess would be familiar to those who would have once broken there cocoon to enter this nasty world which seemed to be daunting,wild and so demanding once upon a time. To those who know what 'passion' means when you have one,would be getting this post a little more than those who don't. It feels absolutely crazy right now, with so much work load, so much more to learn and to give back to the society. Par, what more can I give back to them which hasn't been given before? For now at least, mujhe nahi pta. That's the only thing that revolves in my mind during those lectures, mid breaks, roaming around at the student center,having silly moments with my new friends and where not. That time of finding a meaning for my existence has arrived along with those last college years which are going to be the best days of my life. This period that I am living I know would never come back, and that is why I just want to record it here and now, so that when 5 years down the line I am sitting at some jazzy office with my colleagues I can come back to this read it and laugh at it with a twinkle in my eye, that yes I witnessed something crazy,something amazing and something that I would never want to forget...But for now,it makes me contend to imagine that..

You Are Enough!

It was this fine day when I came across such a brilliantly written adage that I couldn't resist posting on my blog. This is how it reads...

How wonderfully has the author quoted it! Its magnanimity can only be comprehended if you read between those lines. No wonder you would see that those three lines are all that I have on all of my social networking platforms :D, I want it to reach to people. On a serious note, this amazing quote re-instills in you that zeal to realize the importance of 'ME' that I was talking about earlier in my previous post. It is so effing important to know your own value. It is YOU and no one else who can reach that pinnacle of glory which you have imagined for yourself. I am not trying to say here that you are all encompassing but that you are 'enough' encompassing to break all those abstruse barriers that are stopping you from reaching your 'high'. Sit down to analyze,let me make it a bit practical,say for example where did the gravitational force emerge from? Wasn't that fruit falling from the tree everyday? It WAS. Here is where the catch lies, it's the perception I am talking about, it did not mean that Newton was all 'encompassing' by himself, but it was that acumen that he possessed to learn that no one else did. He was no different but just that he looked 'differently' at things. It was those resources and those cues from the environment to which ONLY he was receptive and no one else was. Taking me back to where I was, that he just discovered,"He was enough,he was just enough,it was unbelievable how enough he was!" And that's what I am trying to put across here that it becomes really important to pick those right kind of cues from the surroundings that would eventually make you self fulfilling.I am sure you would be familiar with what Robert Frost had to say while he quoted "Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one less traveled by,and THAT has made all the difference". It's all about YOUR choices, and when you would know how to separate you chaff from the grain,that day this monotonous looking life will seem to possess a melody of its own to which you would like to dance every day! That phase of ambiguity would eventually fade away and it will just be the 'sun' that you will see. Remember it is YOU who can make a difference,it is YOU who possesses it all, it is YOU who will make it there one day.

Just remember you don't let this happen to yourself :)

Seek Excellence!

Being deterministic every single time isn't good but then most of the times it does make sense. It's needed to connect the dots to form that 'bigger picture'. Only if you have that picture in mind. Isn't it? I am sure you do. People say that with time things fall into place, but if you've ever analyzed carefully the most difficult aspect of letting those things fall into place is 'giving' that time. It's not that none of us have it, it's just that we aren't eager enough to give it.We all want to reach the 'acme' but without any labor. It's so boring hearing a success story, a man reach to the top with so much put into it, a woman becoming a successful entrepreneur while being a great homemaker or a teenager cracking a civil without adequate resources? But trust me when I say this that 'none', I repeat 'none' of those success stories will be able to caste there spell on you until you have one to tell or you are in making of one. Am I right or am I right? It does not seem to catch your attention because you haven't 'prioritized' things in life yet, and by this I mean no offense to the one's who haven't yet sorted out things for themselves, however I only intend to throw light on something which might have not struck you before in the same manner as it now would. I talked of the 'bigger picture' and that's what I am trying to do right now, to 'connect' those missing dots for you. Imagine not being able to deliver what you easily can? What a waste of potential,really. It gives me immense pain to see those 'talented minds' yet unleashed doing nothing good to there life just because someone said they couldn't do it. Everybody has been gifted with a special magical power,so to say, and the world is just waiting for you to caste your spell. It's just beginnings that people are afraid of and not the journey. It is absolutely difficult to begin with something new, something that requires to push your limits and something which seems to daunt your potential but then it's all about overcoming the fear of 'failure', we all will face it one 'fine' day but then the sooner the better. Because once that image of 'fantasy' breaks and reality strikes you, you will feel a little out of place, and that won't feel good. It was just another day when I met someone so wonderfully focused, who had the acumen to explore, to do something for others and not for himself, to venture out the yet undiscovered avenues of his field even though he is at a stage in life where he doesn't really 'needs' to achieve any more accolades for his brilliancy. Now that really is something,isn't it? And guess what? He was no superhuman with any special powers, but just a regular man with the capacity of discovering his credentials right in time at the right place. So it's all about staying in sink with that bigger picture and the small bits will fall in place one day!
