A minute with myself

Today, Social media has rendered the global youth into oblivion. It is revealed that people now spend more time in Social Networking sites in a day than they do sleeping. This has created a lack of public awareness and moral code of conduct. It has also affected the youth, mentally and physically. People suffer more from depression, head-aches, body-aches and what not! This was bound to happen as we saw the over-reliance of the human civilization on technology. We have forgotten the moral values and the art of conversation. There is a lack of new ideas and creativity. While we can also see the positive side of it, its risks can’t be overlooked. We see the increasing popularity of roasts and vines on YouTube among teens as a way of earning money. Here I am stressing the importance of YouTube as a medium of gaining knowledge and skills rather than as a potential source of entertainment. Blogging, on the other hand, has enhanced the writing skills. It has given a platform to young minds

Some days ago, I read a beautiful quote 'Airports have seen more sincere kisses than wedding halls and hospitals have heard more prayers than churches.'  Indeed this was so true. The mere thought of getting separated from your loved ones sends a chill down your spine. On Airports and similar places like that, people bid goodbye to their loved ones but internally they feel emotional. They want to postpone their farewell. Similarly, hospitals have seen so many people die and so many people pray for the betterment of their loved ones.  The entire human life is based on attachment to the others. We have blood relations and other relations. We have friends and a life partner. It is the beauty of human life to form relationships with people that last a lifetime. A true affection between two or more people based on unconditional love. This love is so difficult to find these days when technology has made the world small but indeed it has deteriorated human relations. There

Today a friend made me think something very important and urgent. He says that engineering was never his passion. Yes, he used to study and score well. But he never expected engineering to be dumb and so boring. In college, you go to attend lectures. Some people ask doubts and some just pass the time. But only few ask genuine doubts. While attending labs, you do the experiment for just some time. Rest of the time you sit and complete your files. One completes his files and the others just copy. These were the thoughts of my friend. I thought for a while and then wondered that his argument was absolutely right. But no field is dumb and boring. It depends on individual’s interests.  After coming in the 2 nd year of Engineering, I have realized that this is what I always wanted to do. This was always my passion. I know that sometimes tutorial work and file completion can be boring, but here the Indian Education System is to be blamed. They made it that way. But college is actual

It’s pretty difficult to find the purpose of life. After a long day’s work, you come at home and find your wife and children asleep just because you came late. You wanted to talk with your wife to relieve the stress. So then you think is this the life you demanded? Yes, you are rich and earn a lot. But at the end of the day, you just aren’t satisfied. You just think you lack humor in your life. Just these thoughts popped up in my mind and I was reminded about my life purpose. As an engineering student, I am going through the usual norms of assignments and submissions. According to most, they are just a mentally-harassing thing given so that students remain busy for most part of the day. I just think I lack excitement. I am still searching the purpose of my life. So far I have really loved two things the most, Cricket and Writing. The latter is my genuine choice, the former one is more of a hobby. But can I make my passion my work? Surely, yes. After all, I don’t demand a life invol

The best thing about my mom is her mental strength. She’s too strong for me even. She told me that she was broken down after my father’s demise. Okay, that was one thing. But she took just 2 months to recover. She joined a job and engaged herself. Because of my brother’s vacation, she even told him to join the classes where she was serving. So, even my brother is teaching with my Mom. She was a lot confused when it came down to managing the leftover funds. She thought she had to manage it all by herself. But let me tell you my Mom that there are your two sons here to help you out. I said her we’ll manage it somehow. I just told it because she was tensed. I hardly knew how to manage it. She is now up and running all by herself. She has probably set an example for the society. She insists to focus on girls’ education. My Mom got married at the age of 19. She had hardly studied anything by that time. This is the usual trend in my society. Girls usually get married at the age of 19

It was not a happy new year 2016 for me. My father’s tragic demise had broken me down. It was just the most unbelievable incident of my life. It occurred on 25 th Dec 15. I don’t want to get in to the depth of that shocking incident. It sends a chill down my spine when I even memorize that incident one bit. One thing was clear from that day that life’s funny. It is unpredictable and unimaginable. It is cruel, too. But somehow I need to cope with it. There were some really beautiful thoughts, quotes and lines and ambitions written in my father’s diaries. He used to write everything in his diaries including every work he had to do that corresponding day. He was the perfect dad, perfect husband and perfect son. But without any hesitation that day he was called upon by God. He didn’t have any illness or disease. He was living a normal healthy life and suddenly one day this happens. We are left stunned as to how did this happen. Why only us? I am just aged 18. I have just cross

This blog has a special meaning in my life. Here I will post my own topics and my own feelings. So let me start with my 'old is gold' days.  Today I found a diary of phone numbers which I had written last time probably a few YEARS ago. That started my nostalgia about remembering my friends. I had probably brought this diary with me without any special reason, here. One thing I noticed was that the diary had landline numbers written in it. So that signifies that 80% of people at that time didn't have their personal cell phones. Having your own cell phones means that your busyness has increased. Before 10th standard, my schedule was just awesome. I would come from school around 1 PM. I would have my tutions from 2 to 3:30 in the noon. The main thing was that I went to private tutions which were just opposite to my apartment. After 4 PM, we would all gather down to play Cricket. It was as awesome as it gets. Atleast 8 to 10 people came to play cricket everyday. And it w
