Holidays.ahead ...Enjoy

Times up!!! In less than 12 hours ,i will be moving away from king's palace towards the railway station where patna-puri express is expected to leave at 3:45 pm.Alas i will be heading for home after a hiatus of six months .I have just less than a months holiday and this precious time has to be used judiciously with no goofing around.I expect the weather to be kind towards me as no power has shown up at my house since 1994.. Besides it's time for rain gods to open up heavily enabling a cool life out there.I am expecting all these but it remains to be seen how life shapes out there.Anyhow i have assigned myself a few tasks which i am capable of carrying out and hopefully will. I am eagerly waiting for the all the delicacies prepared by my mom to be stuffed down my belly.Of course i am not a glutton but when it comes to the items prepared by mom theres' no stopping me until i am overloaded.Blame it on the gods above for gifting "magic hands" to all the mothers on this planet.I have never heard anyone complaining about ones' home made food.Though i have been staying away from home since 1990 and i have got accustomed to foreign food but then too sometimes i get too bored visiting hostel-mess.It would be a good change of taste .Besides getting home after long durations i am at the helm of the kitchen proceedings.That simply means i get what i desire.It sounds great.Ok just leave it for sometime as it is already making my poor stomach go wild .
Well this is my last blog before i embark towards my home and when i return i hopefully will continue the good work.These holidays are just the kind of break i needed to invigorate my drooping spirit .This break would help me recollect my energies and put them together for a heavy season ahead.Ahead lies an important semester and an year as long as our placements are concerned. Right now lets forget the upcoming 3rd year and enjoy the holidays.Till then take care.It's bye from me . I will be right back in a months time.See u then..

nostalgia.....homecoming

At last with the time just managing to crawl ,the gruelling one and half month's training nears it's eventful end.For me it ended on day when java was completed and since then i am counting on the remaining number of days.With movies cramped into my hard disk i have no other job but to watch them before i embark on my journey towards what we call home.When i look back and try to gauge what i have gained in last one and half months ,i am left with not much to tell.But this does not frighten me enough as i never expected myself to do much.Well i am not actually complaining but it could have been better arranged in terms of it's span .Nevertheless whatever little i have gained is enough for me .
It's been long ,six months to be precise ,since i was at home and the very feeling of it makes me nostalgic.It's true that neither i have anything of grave importance to do there at home nor do i will be able to perform with my laptop much(thanks to the absence of power since 1994).At least i have not to bear the frequent power failures or to live in the constant hope of electricity .And it's not only my village that lies in the darkness but there are lakhs of villages lacking the basic amenities of life .Well i am not going to discuss the problems faced by the people of such villages as it's quite obvious to everybody .
With the race for a berth in rashtrapati bhavan hotting up and all the parties formulating their plans and holding clandestine meetings , it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious .I personally feel that our very own president kalam should have been given a second term in return of what he has given to the country.Anyways with him no more in the fray , it remains nothing but a formality for pratibha patil to occupy that position .I was glad to learn about the safe landing of the atlantis and with it all the astronauts.To be true the whole incidents for past few days kept me on tenterhooks. One thing really baffles me as to why TOI keeps on calling sunita half indian half american just to glorify india and take a part from her credit.It isn't fair as neither was she born in india nor educated .Then why such hoopla surrounding her.With kalpana chawla it was altogether a different story..

A walk To Remember

After a ten day hiatus I am back to blogging .Though today was Sunday it never turned out to be one as I had class in which we were being told about how to do the project .What I got during two and half hours was nothing and also I never expected myself to get anything .To be true I never enjoyed this training as I never learnt much .It seemed that something was imposed on me and that too with my consent from which there was no escaping.. You cannot give your heart and soul to any stuff you don’t like . But never mind whatever little I could learn ,I learnt .Besides I was feeling quite nostalgic about home too .Anyways the training days are going to be over in a weeks time and then I ‘ll go home to fetch some some peace and rejuvenate myself for the upcoming semester.

Well I saw four movies in less than two days despite my “busy schedule “ .Out of which I liked “A walk to remember” the most . Reasons are simple – a love story with not a lovely ending but a quite good movie that would certainly leave your eyes a bit wet .It is a story about a girl who is suffering from a deadly disease named leukemia and has her days numbered .But she lives life happily expecting a “ miracle”. And then a guy falls in love with her thus complicating things.. She brings about changes in life of the guy who earlier used to despise her .but now he respects her a lot . Earlier the girl had warned the guy not to fall in love with her as she never wanted to ruin his life knowing about her limited days But the inevitable happened for the guy and did some good to him as she brought about a lot of the changes in him. .In the end she dies leaving him successful but alone. Quite a sad ending but a must see for all.

The hoopla surrounding the next Presidential elections which is going to be held in a month’s time has engulfed the entire country. . Political parties are naming suitable candidates for the post of india’s first citizen besides pulling each others legs for their named ones.All are bickering among themselves to see that their named candidate occupy the coveted seat so that they can gain full advantage when they come in to form the next government in 2009. Congress has very shrewdly named Pratibha patil , a woman candidate and it’s more or less decided that she would be the next one to live in rashtrapati bhavan . She would be the first woman President of india if she wins ,hopefully she will. To the citizen of India and of course to me it doesn’t matter who helds that position as it is not like America where there is Presidential form of government and it is the President who takes all the decisions .In India it is the Prime minsiter who does all that and the poor president is just a nominal head of the country and has the limited job of just giving speeches and approving all what his council of minister asks for whether he likes or not…. It’s of no concern to me who ever becomes the President he or she might be able to inspire the entire population .Someone like Abdul Kalam….

It's all about passion!!

"It is passion ,not pedigree that wins in the end".The old adage once again has been proved by Govind Jaiswal who cracked an all india rank of 48 among 474 successful candidates in civil services examination. Now why i say it's passion and nothing else as because Govind is the son of an uneducated rickshaw vendor .Being from a non-privileged background with pauper parents ,he overcame all odds proving his mettle and setting a burning example for people from all spheres of society.Reading his story on REDIFF was a really inspiring one.Thanks to rediff.
Well my 4th semester results were declared yesterday and to be true it isn't an inspiring one. I had a hunch that this time around i won't be up to the mark but marks fell below by expectations .Thanks to some great marking by our teachers from ETC department not to mention patro sir.During my transition from IT to ETC i was expected to face the brunt of the teacher's .Nevertheless standing at this juncture i have no qualms about it. Now i am not going to discuss my marks in detail and make this space a monotonous one for my readers.
Thank god the week long agitation by Gujjars finally came to a halt .Now it remains to be seen what action in their quest will be taken by the Raje government. Now even if these Gujjars get the ST status at the expense of around 30 people loosing their lives ,the Meenas wont sit silently to let the Raje government please the Gujjars which of course is not happening in near future.This isn't the way to get your demands fulfilled as it can inspire many more lower castes to do the same shameful deed.Actually this whole quota system is hogwash certainly needs a slight alteration. Wait if i start discussing the pros and cons of our quota system it will take a toll on my reader.So better leave it aside. One more linux test to haunt me .Never mind come along
