Importance....

When i was in school i believe that what appreciable by others is the most important job/task or dream to be achieved. Taking the example of taking science and practicing more mathematics and obtaining higher marks in those, as it would going to be appreciated by batchmates, teachers, parents and more important parent's friends and relatives.
After then i went to college, and then recognized that achieve what is best available among the choices available to you and again the motivational factor up to some extent is the society and the people residing around you and the priority of maoney also focussed mainly towards the society. Then come a day, when told by the steno of the HOD of my department "DECIDE YOUR PRIORITIES AS PER YOUR DREAM NOT AS PER YOUR RELATIONS & SOCIETY". At the same day i realized that almost my entire life i have seen others around me following the same what i was told to avoid. Silently and quietly i sat one day and started deciding what i really want to do in my life and came across four objectives and then prioritize them and then started planning to achieve the same and in the course i realized that society and relations stands nowhere. It's the priority that makes you leave the iims even that motivate you to live life in the dark for a while to shine like the morning rising sun.

opportunities.....and you

Never before i have realized the meaning of this word "opportunity". Or it may be because never before i have been stuck in such a situation where you have number of roads waiting to be followed and you have to decide the one. It is very much true that it's depends on your choice, your dream of future in academics. But what will happen when educational dream as well as your personal real life dream "contrasting to your first one" come in the way of each other. Of all many of the opportunities are good for you but you have to choose the one that best suits your needs satisfying both the dreams up to some extent or you can follow one among the twos neglecting the second. Talking of a situation where to be with your gf you have to choose the job out of the two opportunity of joining the job or joining the iim. It looks ridiculous that you are leaving the IIM and joining the job, but here comes the real decision making capability out of all the opportunities available to you as well as discovering new one that best suits your need. You can either take a chance on yourself that if i am capable of clearing the iim once i can do it twice "the next year" or you can look for other fiels like administrative services. It seems very depressing that you are choosing UPSC over IIMs but it all depends upon your will as well as on your self motivation towards the newer and the better one. And you are doing all this to your (never know whether he\she is faithful enough) soulmate. But you know life is about taking chances of which we indians are not good in. I am doing the same, betting on my abilities and determination.

Real life........

We are taught from our childhood to read and learn as much as you can to fulfill your every dream to earn a lot and earn respect. While going on the path of the same teaching we learn the ideal world, learn the ideal situation and learn to live without barriers. It's the school/college only where our parents our teacher never check us on mingling with our muslim. christian (or any religion) batchmates. Never at this stage our parents advice us to make friends of same caste or community. Then why after passing from these institutes they starts expecting the same which in previous they never forced upon. All the beliefs shatter at this stage, it doesn't matter whether you are a nit'ian or iit'ian or from a normal college you all will be treated the same on question of loving a muslim or an another community's soul.
At the iit level what's the thinking during the entry into this prestigious institute is that "now every dream of mine will come true". But this is not something to be boasted upon on the orthodox feeling of the society. Long back society was influenced and hierarchy was decided on the basis of education. Education was at the centre of stage of this world of drama. Still all the beliefs of our society was inherited from that time only but the role of education shifted to the back stage to the only role of earning for survival. What i think the only remedy for this "Don't pass the same feeling to the next generation" and "Try try try and more try until you succeed whether against society or orthodox thinking of your dear ones".

Science or Arts: Which is more important ....

From the seventh standard, after knowing the importance of science the scope in the field of science , what science can do for the betterment of the life on the earth as well as in understanding the past and future of the earth; living in the belief that the science is the best subject of all available into this world and the most elaborate one including all the major subjects of today’s curriculum.
And after being a science graduate along with the engineering graduation and studied specifically the science for the last eight years under different discipline my belief should have to become more rigid. But contrary to this, I have realized the arts discipline to be more directly related to the social life. Subjects like philosophy, sociology and psychology which deals with the state of mind, relation between man and nature, needs for liberty, equality, fraternity for the survival of the social life seems more important now. It’s the idea that leads to the invention, it’s the effort that leads to the discovery but it’s the sound mental health of the people that’s make a healthy society which is the mother of all inventions. And a society to be well behaved, there needs the feeling of freedom, equality and many others and all these are well traversed in arts. Life is there before the arrival of these ideas in the form of anarchy and monarchy but the way and condition most of the people were living in those times were very much below the standard. The Renaissance which transformed the medieval history into modern one was very much inspired by the sociological ideas of john locke, Aristotle and many others. Well, this time may be I am exaggerating the facts about the arts or it’s due to the fact that I am a beginner into this. But it’s undoubtedly true that arts is no less important than science.

Engineering Vs Real World

At the institute level, we are taught the best way to solve a problem, the best way to design for a structure taking care of all the failures and all the worst situations. Talking of a simple tunnel project having overburden of tens to thousand of tonnes of load along with the presence of various soft rock pockets present there in.Designing tunnels in such conditions requires lots of effort along with codal requirements and lots of experimentation to be done before proceeding to designing part(leave the construction apart).
Studying all these in the classroom, hearing about all these multi-crore projects in a 10 by 10 classroom seems so fascinating. But coming to real world where working under for companies and where profit is the main motive where the executive officer or the owner more concerned about the time and profits to be made.Reducing experimentation neglecting number of essential boreholes to be made and design the structure on the basis of incomplete ground profile often leads to failure. And as usual after such a havoc, a committee will be set up to enquire into the matter comprising of some beaureaucrates and rock engineering experts where again to get out of that contractors and company owners bribe the committee members to again find the loopholes into the indian codes or into the report itself to get rid of criminal offense.
All the knowledge gained at the institute level get modified in the real world suiting the real situations.

These days........

From the last two months after the end of seventh semester, I have not able to concentrate my mind on a particular topic for say study, relationship or having fun with my friends. Don’t know why I am feeling like this but never before in my life I have felt so empty from inside. Or may be because from the last two months I started thinking after every little glimpse of environment and surrounding around us, pondering over the condition of the people who are not so lucky to have a decent life standard or to the millions of girls whose every childhood dream related to fly and glide freely in the clear blue sky of this globalised world. Or may be due to the thoughts that why we become so indifferent to the needs of others especially those ill-fated children and young clad beauties when we become able “to contribute in making their life livable if not paradise. Or may be due to lots of travelling I am doing these days which exposed me to the real Indian society and it’s life rather to the confined lavish 365 acres of my institute. Or may be because what happening in my near surroundings that after seeing all the above, finds my colleagues more indifferent to all these, their ignorance about our country india about our society or about our future, their negligence their lack of interest to respect the feeling of others.
Well, may be it’s not their fault it’s because the small world they have seen around them it’s because they never step out of their saloon. Don’t know why but I personally feel that travel is must for a youth who has got established in life and travelling not only to hill stations and beaches for fun but to the hard working people of the hills who have to waste a ton of energy just to get a kilos of food, interacting with the fishermen of those beaches who never fears to put their life on the mercy of sea to feed their children, who are the first on the receiving end of the nature’s fury and last on the list of getting benefits from the govt. Travelling and lots of travelling that can transform them or atleast change their attitude towards life.

Price rise or the reason for slowing of economy growth

Always in the belief that the price rise is going to effect the poor sections of the society in the most devastating way. And quite true to this belief the reality is happening right now here in india.
But the more true fact is that it's not affecting the lowest section of society but to the country as a whole. Rising prices led to increase in the money spend per capita consumption of the citizens of india. With the increase in expenditure in fulfilling day to day needs, they are going to demand for more wages either from the private sector or the government sector. And India which is thriving on the foreign direct investment to fund most of it's projects as well as establishment of manufacturing units by major fortune 500 companies and the sole reason they are migrating to indian subcontinent is the low cost incurred in production which is due to low labour cost.
Now with the increase in price of the basic commodities this low cost factor is going to disappear and what happen next everyone can predict........
