Good Trek

Last morning I went for a jog along with Vinay. As we didn't explore the places in the campus we thought to do so. In that process we trekked over a hill and enjoyed the beautiful landscape of Mumbai. It was a spectacular experience for an hour. The real interesting part was during climbing down the hill as we chose a different route. Halfway down we stopped. In front of us was a smooth(no grip at all) steep hill and and nothing was visible there after few steps. We didn't had courage to go ahead and just looked each other silently. After the discussion of risk in the route, we thought to go back and return in the way which we climbed up. I remembered a saying -"Many can take first step, but who find the way when all the ways he knows are closed will be successful". We boosted each other and continued our adventure. Though at some point of time my shoe sole got damaged and came off, but the we made it with a lot of fun and thrill.At the end we felt very happy of our triumph.

Positive thoughts give you confidence

I was about to sleep. But one of my seniors whom I know suddenly entered into my room. He told that he had committed some mistake and he was in depression because of thinking a lot about it.
Don't think about past or your future. Live for the present moment. I told all the stuff that he needs to have a healthy lifestyle, fresh fruits as diet, well planned life and positive thoughts. Don't think about results, work for the goal you had set. I almost said more than an hour about how we have to develop confidence as life is always with troubles. It's sure that troubles are going to invade your life. But what you can do is to have confidence and preparedness to face the different hurdles that do come in your life.
Yes, ordinary people may think to achieve my dream is difficult. But it's not impossible. I should come out of that people who think 'it is difficult and its better not to go for it'. If I want to get rid of the fear of failure in my project I should start to think and do to fulfill my dream.
Thanks God. You gave me positive thought, I will try not to allow even a single negative thought anymore.

Struggle for confidence

Today I asked Anitha whether she is ready to be part of my dream. The response was positive. But I can't just believe completely. The reason behind it is I am not confident of what I am going to do.
I am in confused state these days. I am living in dreams. I don't know what I am doing. I am feeling like I am in a desert and have to search for the way. I am unable to decide what to do.
I want to go with my instincts but don't know how to make it happen. Many questions are there right now. I can't justify my dreams. But I am fighting with the opposition which hinders or warns that obstruct my dreams.
I will find my way as soon as possible.

In deep thoughts

These are the two reasons that kept me awake and thinking for the whole night.
1. Avi gave me the opportunity to work on futures in Commodity markets. If I take that offer I would become an employee in his company. His company is making good deal of success. And I too can grow with its tremendous growth.
2. After the chat with Hari(an alumnus) and last night with Arjun about Project Vidya my enthusiasm to build educational product increased a lot. When Arjun asked me the reason to go for that plan so strongly I told him that I want to become a part in revolutionizing the education system.
After completion of chatting, the whole night I was deeply thinking about the pros and cons of the above two opportunities. First one is good for my monetary growth but the other one is to realize my great interest in becoming an Entrepreneur. I know the first road is a clear one where as the second one is bumpy. Then I remembered the message in "The monk who sold his Ferrari" - 'To become successful you need to strive to do the things which ordinary people don't want to do.' Later I thought about the various plans if I choose the second one.
At 6:30 in the morning I went for a walk. I enjoyed the soothing greenery and beautiful birds along the walk. Then came a question in my mind - Can you sacrifice your job that you secure in campus placement for Vidya?
At that moment my thoughts were like this - Yes I can. Even if I am not successful in this plan I will strive for the education for the children of rural areas. I will go to towns,villages, train them and employ them to go ahead. I can become a lecturer to earn my livelihood. Can't I take the risk to do the one which my instinct says - Have vision, set goals and go for the big aim of your life. But this is test to my will and commitment. Arjun said that to go ahead with the plan we need dedication.
Though my guts are directing me towards Vidya let me think even more so that I will come to a decision.
Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the decision right. - Dr. Phil

Campaining against Casteism

I aspire my society does not contain any casteism. So, I am doing my effort to make aware of the problem and make them think to generate ideas to challenge it. I hope my wish will come true some day.

Nice Vacation for 10 days

I have gone 10 days for the vacation and so I didn't write anything all these days. There is a lot of news to write about my vacation. I will write them all briefly.

1. In train as it was fully crowded, due to suffocation one girl got fainted. Her mother in that shock struck her very hard with hands to wake her up. I saw tremendous power in the action to save her daughter. That will power moved me a lot.
2. I enjoyed a lot with my family and relatives particularly with my brother's daughter. I played a lot with her who is 3 years old. Really nice time spent laughing and playing with the girl.
3. I read the book "The monk who sold his Ferrari" - a fantastic book. It first looked a normal book but later on it made me fully involved in it. I decided to implement some techniques from it.

Many more are there but I can't write everything. After returning here Anti-Reservation protest started in my college and some were doing hunger strike. I too went for it- but not for doing hunger strike. It was a nice to be part of the protest. I am not against reservation if it is not based on caste. But one thing I came to know that I need to contribute my effort for the improvement of education(for all) in my country. I will do it.

I don't care - 10,9,8 or 7?

My semester results are getting announced. Of course good grades give me confidence to aim and achieve more goals. But it’s limited. I don’t have that much enthusiasm regarding the result as I learnt a lesson that grades are not important. What you get from the courses, how can you apply them in your life, in which way you can get happiness from them at some point of life - these all matters for me but not the stupid alphabets - A, B , C.
I hope all the best for both who care and who don't.
