India and Pakistan - Why Friends???

2007-09-10T17:06:00.000+05:30

Why can't we live like enemies?This is my perspective as far as the relations between India and Pakistan go. Why is it necessary that two neghbouring countries have to have good relations.

Lets take an example of ourselves only. We do not always have good relationship with our neighbours. Infact most of the time majority of us are pretty indifferent as far as our neighbours are concerned.

So why does India needs to have Pakistan as her friend. I may be wrong but according to me every single Indian always had an inherent perception of Pakistan being an enemy of our motherland and home of terrorists ( Absolutely true according to me).

But in the past few years, there have been some what, I would say fluctuations in this attitude primarily because of the indifferent attitude of our (useless) politicians. They have been so inconsistent in their approach towards this whole issue that comapared to them our great Indian cricket team seems faar more consistent[:d]...jokes apart but seriously I think its high time we all should give it a thought that why do we need friendly relations with a country which for decades now has been trying to destabilize us and harming us in one way or another.

We are not dependent on Pakistan for anything.We are a nuclear nation and so there is no questoin of fearing anyone. Then why? Only because some politicians feel that by raising this issue in one way or another they would enhance their votebank,we all have been suffering.

So whats the solution??In my opinion the initiative has to be taken by our media and politicians only. The chances are bleak but still. We should severe all our ties with Pakistan. That means no bilateral relations:no trade, no travel across two countries and strick border vigilence. Kashmir issue should not be made an ego issue of our sovereignty and should be solved in International court of justice.

Friendship should be natural and not forced upon!!!

Mera latest haal chaal :)

Well well well...I know it has been really long since I wrote something and probably no one reads my blog now but i guess thats the way it is. Anyways publicity of my blog should not be a big issue...hehe ( I hope you all remeber the hipe during my first post).

Anyways first of all a few updates....after a tormenting placement season ( had an offer from Grail...shit man!!!),I managed more than decent performances in my last 2 sems at IIT. Finished with a CGPA of 8+ which is pretty good as faar as I am concerned.I guess I perform better when there is no motivation. But it wasnt as smooth as it looks...had few issues in my last sem with me struggling to pass an audit course( Quantum Mechanics...Only God knows why I chose this course at first)but in the end, i was able to just pass thanx to Prof Ranganathan. Still all was not well as I was kinda really frustrated (typical me) and desperate to get a decent job offer ( I consider Grail really bad). Finally I guess after a long time God was really listening to me...landed up with a more than decent off campus offer from an analytics firm in bangalore. Really loving it here. Great city, great job , great life etc etc etc.

So life is really chill. Abhi ke liye bus itna hi....many more topics actually in my mind related to politics , cricket, the third set of commandments, etc. Kabhi fursat main likunga but from now i will ensure ki i am more regular in blogging. By the way, I am getting really fat these days...current weight 70 kgs so thats probably the only concern I have.

Happy Birthday to Shaurya Vaani :)

Well really cant believe that it has been 1 year now since i started blogging but yes its true. I wont say it has been a great journey but it hasnt been very bad either. I have written 30 odd posts and yeah i know i shoud have been a bit more frequent but i guess i have given my defense about this already in one of the posts. About the posts some were pretty well received while some were not. Personally my favourites are Commandments of life and ofcourse the two poems.

I also wholeheartedly thank Mahek and Taru for their constant encouragement and
apreciation to my blog :)
Cheers!!!

Parents

2006-07-30T19:28:00.000+05:30

Parent, probably for everyone in this world, are the ones whom you love and care the most. I mean ideally this should be the case although these days I have seen some people, really don’t know why, try to show off them being cut off from their parents. But then I guess these people also do love their parents whole heartedly but for some reason don’t want to show it off.

Now there should not be a question raised about whether this love and affection should have a limit or should there be?? I mean I at least never thought on these lines until I came to know about this incident.

There was this boy who lost his mother through a natural cause. It was such a ruthless tragedy that he just couldn’t take it. He didn’t know how to react to this. He went into a great depression. From a 90% student academically he became a failure and ultimately lost his mental balance. To add to his woes, his father had a second marriage and he just couldn’t bear this and ultimately committed suicide.

Thinking about this I still cannot figure out whose mistake was this??

Poltu of IIT Delhi

2006-07-09T04:29:00.000+05:30

Poltu time in IIT Delhi......probably the most happening and exciting time here.On institute level alliances being formed amongst various hostels to win the Gsecs and RCA secys.However, majority of these posts in reality as far as i am concerned are for name sake and all wat you can call dramebaazi!!!!Although to a layman,especially parents,this election thing in an institute like IIT may all look kiddish but believe me elections here have all the flavours which our nationlal politics has.......horse trading,betrayal,use of money power,nepotism and wat not.The bottom line is that its really a complicated phenomenon and it takes many night outs and energy to strategise the whole thing.And the most surprising thing of this whole scenario is that all the institute level politics is handled by a bunch of final yearites from each hostel who are actually leaving the institute in a month's time. Really cant imagine why people waste so much of their precious time and energy just to be King Makers.But then this is the hard reality.

Seeing the other perspective these elections also unfortunately highlight various rivalaries amongst various hostels and within hostels.I mean at first one would think why at all these differences exist.Why so young and so called intellectual people hate some of their mates so much?Add to that the unfortunate fact that many of the alliances happening in these elections are based on negative demands,i.e.,ensuring a particular person doesn't get the thing he wants rather than trying to win it for yourself,really makes one feel really bad.

Well as far as I am concerned its been a mixed bag for me.Didn't had a clue about it in my first year.Second year main gandi machai,lots of campaigning (My SOP is still remembered in ARA ;)) and stuff.........won by the highest margin in the hostel to get the most thankless post,Mess Secy.I have to admit it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.Had a horrible time managing the responsibilities.And then this year really didnt want to be a part of this arbit thing but was finally dragged into it forcefully by my group.The result.........we lost all the posts really badly and on personal front I ended up spoiling my relations with 2 of my very gud friends prior to the elections.

Bottom line is authorities in IIT should realise that these elections are just waste of time.Students are getting over involved these days in them and overall it is having a noticable negative effect on the otherwise healthy atmosphere of the institute, atleast in that particular month of elections.

My Intern :))

2006-05-22T17:06:00.003+05:30

Internship with Indian Air Force was a thing i was always looking forward to ever since i got this intern.Finally the majors ended and i was off to Chandigarh for my intern at 3 BRD.The semester had gone really well as far as SGPA was concerned so there was a positive feeling all around me.To be very frank i was a bit apprehensive, at the same time excited, about wat was store for me at Chandigarh as i really didn't have any idea about the nature of work or the lifestyle i would have to follow there.But then these apprehensions were really short lived and gone as soon as i reached 3 BRD,Chandigarh.

The food and accomodation turned out to be pretty decent.In the beginning of the training itself we, 5 of us from IIT Delhi and 4 Aerospace engineering students from IIT Mumbai, were introduced to the Air Commanding Officer, the Head of the base, and other top officials of the AIR Force Station.They welcomed us all and made short speeches briefing about the station and the IAF in general which was also supplemented by a movie on Air Force called "Aakaashyodha".They specified general guidelines for us.We were also given a tentative schedule of the programme we would be following.Bottom line was, apart from the internship work, the security and the discipline aspects were really the things to watch out for.I mean dressing always in formals, waking up 6:00 a.m. in the morning and working till evening,no mobiles or photographs in technical area, no sharing of any information related to station with any civilian, extremely formal while in mess or while talking to Air Force people, was at first a really hard thing to digest.But then now when almost a week has passed by, I guess atleast i have adapted pretty well to the existing scenario.I must also compliment people here for their extremely cooperative and helpful nature.

The crest of 3 BRD is the 'Phoenix' a mythical bird of Egyptian origin.It is said that when the Phoenix immolates itself, a new phoenix is born out of the old one.This is wat is done to the helicopters and aeroengine aggregates at this depot.As on date, this depot overhauls Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters, their aeroengines and all the aggregates.In addition, it also overhauls AI-20 engines and propellers of AN-32 aircraft and IL-38 of Indian Navy.Coming to the technical aspects of my internship, it is basically divided into two stages, the initial part being of observational and exploring nature and the in the latter part i would be assigned a project.Till now I have been to Avionics department mainly dealing with electronic equipments, and studied all the bays there, Mi-8 hanger where initial dismantling and final assembly of Mi-8 helicopters is done, Mi-35, a combat helicopter whose overhauling is still done in Russia, hanger and the runway where flight testing is done.I have also gained valuable knowledge about closed loop feedback system driven auto pilot, the flight to ATC radio communication system and the general engine and transmission system.One day i was even explained how helicopters are driven.I was also shown a V.V.I.P. helicopter being overhauled and i actually sat in the same cockpit which is actually meant for people of Prime Minister and President designation.I must admit here life was never more exciting than this ever before.As if now i am really hoping to learn a lot from this internship that would help enhance my technical skills.

As far as exploring Chandigarh city is concerned, I am finding this really hard.The location of BRD is absolutely outside the city and all the so called decent hangouts are really far off.But then if you have such a beautiful and exciting campus as this, who really wants to go outside!!!

Bhaiyo that was the official post on the official blog.The truth-max mazze main hu, koi kaam nahin nahin hai yahan.And add to that the royal treatment we get here.Food is awesome.Kasam se mazza aa gaya :)

Quota system

2006-04-07T20:14:00.000+05:30

Increasing reservation quota in IITs and IIMs to 50%,probably the most happening as well as shocking news these days.The only logic that I can see behind such decisions is political milage and thats it.May be i am wrong but if india needs reservation even after almost 60 yrs of her independence then it has to be admited that introducing reservation was never the solution to the problem.Wat we have achieved through reservation system is a weak public sector and i am really sorry to say but corrupt,unintelligent and absolutely incompetent bureaucrats and judiciary.This has led to almost complete break down of whole government machinery.Obviously one really cant blame only the quota system for this whole mess but surely its one of the major contributors.The reason for which quota system was introduced,upliftment of backward castes and getting rid of discrimination,never really came into being realised as somehow the benefits always reached to only a very small percentage of people it was meant for.All the efforts were directed to increase the quota and stuff but nobody cared for whether these benefits were reaching right people or not.

Not deviating from the topic about the quota system in institutes like IITs and IIMs,i really fail to understand wat purpose it solves.These institutes are expected to produce the cream of nation and so obviously such decisions would and are only reducing the efficieny and quality of them. As a part of one such institute i have myself seen how much category people have to struggle after somehow reaching such institutes.Often they end up not completing the degree in required time,their confidence is on an all time low and more often than not they develop a very high level of inferiority complex in their minds.Private sector generally doesnt except them and they finally end up getting nothing.

So wats the solution?I feel much more efforts should be concentrated on providing primary and basic education to these backward people.This may be done through financial assistance or quota system.I really dont agree with quota system in graduation.Somehow its still kinda acceptable but quota system in post graduation and jobs is really hard to digest.

But then myself being somwhat involved in hostel and institute level politics i realise that one has to understand the political compulsions also.So considering all these things i suggest quota system should be continued but with some amendments:

1.The benefits of reservation should not be inherited.Once benefited,the next generation should not be entitled for quota.

2.The beneficiaries annual income should be below a certain limit.I propose 5 lakhs per annum.

3.In case of institutes like IITs and IIMs ,all beneficiaries should have attained a certain cut off percentage of marks.

4.Vacant seats should not be filled or certain percentage of them may be added to geneal quota.

But........I love her :(

2006-03-06T19:43:00.000+05:30

Never dreamt of a girl like you
But yet here I stand
Falling madly in love with you
I know I cant get you
Nor do I wish to
But wat is this feeling I have
Always wanting you,pining for you
This seems so absurd
Me writing;but I cant resist
I never drink in group now
Fearing that I might reveal
Reveal the sorrow,the pain I endure

Your flawless smile
Your awesome hair
Never dreamt of a girl like you
Yet you seem to be the perfect mate for me
Yes I know you are not mine
You like him
When I saw you with him
Wat was that rage of anger I felt
Yet it vaporized like a tiny droplet
I saw you happy
And I smiled
A smile in tears

I didnt know wat I was writing
It seems so clear now
I will endure you for the rest of my life
You so far;but still at this hour
I feel a strong desire burning in me
A desire to snatch you from this world
A desire to love you more than anything

People spend lifetime to find that one thing
That one thing that they love more than anything
And when they find it nothing else matters
I found you
My world shrinks to this one thing;YOU
You will never read this
But still I want you to tell this

I wanna get rid of you
I wanna remove you from my life
To end this pain,this agony
Why are you like this?
Why you made me fall for you?
You rock my world
But I wish
We had never met
People say to move on
But yet I feel paralysed
Cant step forward;cant move on
I wanna love you more than anything
I wanna get you out of my life

Rang De Basanti

2006-02-06T19:45:00.001+05:30

Rang de basanti.........has to be the most happening movie of the current lot and would you believe,i have seen it twice at theatre.Naah i didnt like it that much.It was just that my friends from Indore wanted to see it so i had no choice but to accompany them.About the movie.....yeah i totally agree,it had a more than good
entertainment value,college atmosphere and stuff,but then there were certain things in it that were kinda irritating and to an extent disturbed me.

First of all for those who dont know me well i must tell that i am pretty passionate about Indian politics,have been following it since 98 i believe.And i am a big supporter of Hindutva.The sad part is that this movie attacked these two things only.

I would deal with the hindutva issue first.The movie tried to show saffron,the symbol of Hindutva,in negative shade-the way it portrayed the hindu activists.I strongly believed it was far away from the reality.The question comes "What is the need of such a thing?"I am now not only talking about the movie but kinda thinking on general terms.The answer probably is the word "Secularism".It really baffles me sometimes that to everyone around,secularism means being favouring muslims and to an extent being anti Hindu.We always talk about protecting the minority rights but then forget about the majority.It is due to these kinda things that organizations such as VHP ,Bajrang dal,etc have come into being and you know wat.........i strongly support them and do feel the need of their existence.Actually we all know that these organizations dont indulge in any wrongdoings but still to show off our secular nature we critisize them.I really dont have anything against muslims but then there are certain facts which we really cant change.Few days back i was reading the biography of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel by Raj Mohan Gandhi.There were several incidents which i can quote-like the muslim soldiers of the Indian army who were assigned to protect certain localities in Dehi from riots during partition themselves killing the hindus there or the last minute betrayal of muslim soldiers in kashmir when pakistan attacked it in 1948.Then who can forget Godra,when innocent car sevaks were burnt alive in a train bogie without any reason.We can deeply analyse history and we would always find violence has never been initiated by hindus.Obviously its not fair to generalise these things but one can really not help.Again and again its happening.And i forgot to mention the Ram Mandir issue.It really hurts when such things are politisized when on first look they seem so obvious.No muslim would even allow a hindu to even put a foot on Mecca or Medina and here are we,helpless for we cant have a Ram mandir in the holy place of Ayodhya,the birth place of Lord Rama.I really dont mean to attack or favour any religion but just trying to share the state of unfairness most of the people in this country are feeling and according to me those who are not....should feel.Please try to think on this issue and we would all realize something is wrong somewhere.

And then the movie talked about the corruption in Indian politics on defence issues.I really dont fully disagree but then strongly feel that there is no country and probably no proffession anyone can think of which is free from corruption.Its just that we see wat we are made to see.The politicians remain in limelight and hence we all kinda have a exaggerated image of them.Honestly in my opinion the movie went far away from the reality when it showed things like ruthless lathi charge on a peaceful demonstratuion which was even being covered by media.Its just not possible.And then the way it portrayed the Defence Minister of India it was really shocking.I mean being Defence Minister of India is no joke.I wont go into the details because obviously i dont hav any personal experiences to share but then i strongly believe that generally politicians on such crucial posts are pretty deserving and intelligent people.things are not that easy as they all seem to be.We all can say if I was the PM of India I would do this and that,but then again comes the sad but true fact of Practicality vs Idealism.The earlier we realise the better it is.The fact remains that we all hav developed so much pessimist attuitiude towards indian politics that even when glass is 90 % filled we would say its 10% empty.Anyways,it really atleast doesnt matter to me.I believe in our politicians and thats it.There may be certain exceptions but then they are always there everywhere.

I would conclude by saying that we should learn to appreciate wat is good rather than always trying to find flaws in everything.And lastly India is a secular country but we then fact remains Hindus are in a majority and so if not priority atleast deserve equality.Although I also totally agree with the view that importance of religion is decreasing in the current modern world,but still we should respect it as long as it exists.

The Report Card

2006-01-20T19:28:00.000+05:30

First of all I would like to apologise for my inconsistency as far as writing on this blog is concerned.But believe me its not my mistake actually.You all must know that i am not a writer by any means and so its kinda difficult for me to be writing on consistent basis.Anyways i will try to write twice or at max thrice a month atleast.By the way i probably know that all this stuff i am kinda talking to myself only as i guess now i dont have a reader left.But still........

Last semester was really bad for me.Probably the worst phase in my life.Nothing went right.Guess you all know about the acads(actually it wasnt that bad,atleast relatively) and sports thing.The internship just didnt happen.Really dissapointed on that front.I guess i had really over estimated myself.But as if now more into the reality and concerned over my verbal skills or to be more specific,the so called HR skills.The worst,spoiled my relations with almost everybody.I mean it took almost two years to know so many people here and be a part of so many good groups of friends,atleast i thought so.I still would never forget the uncounutable enjoyable and cherishing moments i had but sadly but truly now within space of one semester i have been cut off with most of them.And the unfortunate fact remains that i am pretty sure they all still kinda like me or atleast dont hate me but then i do.I have had enough of non sense and so just cant help.

About the current semester,it has really started off with a bang for me.First of all i have by chance got into very good courses.Good in the sense they are atleast till now seeming to be total fraud and so a very very welcomed change as we mech people go [;)].And the good part is finally i have managed to isolate myself from the people i dont like as we share almost no common courses.So as if now i really dont have a compulsion of bearing their torturous company.The best,have completely got into sports.Must tell you all it wasnt easy.I mean i dont really have that flexible body now but still surely trying to give my best and have to admit doing pretty decent.Currently playing in the inter hostel hockey and cricket matches.It really makes me feel good to be a part of these teams.I mean Aravali is the best,we all know that and so winning not a very big deal.Bottom line is confidence on an all time high.Then my chess game has also improved a lot and this time probably i would play in inter hostel chess too.

You all must be wondering i am making a big deal of this inter hostel thing but guys believe me its not easy when you are an Araite.GC champions,chess champions for last three years and defending champions in hockey and cricket.So i guess you all got my point.To sum up for the first time here i am kinda BUSY in stuff that i am really enjoying.

Also i have managed an off campus intern(no payment [:((]),my sister got the job with Intel(her kinda dream job) and i have atlast decided about my future
plans,getting a good job is the priority and if not then would rather go for a MBA.Ending on a lighter note my pizza eating is on a all time high these days,almost 3-4 a week and guess wat,I AM THE MESS SECY [:)]

Really Hurt :(

2006-01-07T15:56:00.000+05:30

Its really amazing to see wat extent people can go upto in creating nuisense at its atmost level.Its kinda unfortunate that most of us enjoy more when the enjoyment is at some other's cost even when there are many more pretty decent ways available to amuse yourself.May be i am talking about this because it is me who is generally on the firing line but believe me even if given a chance I would never hurt anyone's feelings even in my dreams.These words,feelings,emotions,i dont know why but are actually considered kinda things which take a person far away from being cool and stud,probably the reason why my so called friends dont really seem to give them the weightage they deserve.And you know wat,i am sure now also when i am writing about all this stuff,feelings and all that,it would probably be a laughing matter for all those for whom i am writing this article and guess I would again be tagged as a
psycho personality.Actually i agree with all such people because the way these people define a psycho,i fully fit into it and really dont regret it.I fail to understand why being regarded as a stud and entertainment seems to be their only priority,over anything and they seem to be ready to cross any limit for its fulfillment.They feel people really like them and may be idolise them and actually may be its true also in some cases but franky they are assholes.I am sorry I am using such language but believe me thats wat they deserve being called.The sad part in my case is that inspite of all these facts I have to still be with them because of the constraints here.Truly waiting for the day when i would be out of this place.

Although there are many incidents which i can share but this latest one really hurt me a lot.Last night a company came here for taking interns and surprisingly I wasnt shortlisted for the interviews when I was better than some of the ones shortlisted.I was feeling pretty low and sad but then decided to resubmit my resume for reconsideration.I dont know why but i had this gut feel that i would be called for the interview.And after some time I was contacted by the company and they took a telephonic interview of me.I was surprised but kinda expecting it.The interview went pretty decent so I was feeling pretty okie then.I had this feeling that even if i wasnt selected I had this conciliation of being short listed atleast.Soon my so called friends came and told me the truth.It was they who had had taken the interview for fun sake.There were laughters all around and there was
I.....stunned,shocked.Really couldnt believe it.May be I can consider it my mistake that i should have guessed it but then guess when a person desperately wants something and is expecting it to happen too then probably such doubts dont really creep up.I may be wrong but I think most of us would have done the same wat I did.

Surely giving the interview made me happy actually and they could have easily done it without telling me the whole story.I mean I guess they had their entertainment taking my interview and i had my share by thinking that atleast the company shortlisted me.But the fact is that dog's tail never straightens.There hunger for entertainment was not fulfilled and they had to enjoy my expressions when i come to know the reality.

Well may be my mistake was that i got too much excited.Surely would take care of this aspect of my personality from now on.Must admit something here.I am not a person who would be happy by seeing something bad happening to others and probably still the same.But then sometimes some people you come across go so down in your eyes that you just dont want anything good happening to them.

Slaughtered again :(

2005-12-04T18:28:00.000+05:30

I have always maintained and believed that if you give your 100 % on something then irrespective of the outcome you are the winner.But today i realise how wrong i was.May be the statement is true but surely doesnt apply on me.

I have been screwed in a 5 credit design course really badly inspite of my descent efforts.I have always had faith in my abilities but time and again its happening with me.Life sucks :(

P.S. guess wat???really narrow escape from being screwed.just B- lag gaya although operational research main C laga hai.

Cool????

2005-11-23T15:26:00.000+05:30

College life is a time when everybody goes through major personality changes.You widen your domain to various other spheres or atleast make an effort.Generally all these are aimed to achieve a balance in your personality which you always were striving for but probably never made an effort to achieve.Balance can be understood in terms of being more independent,enjoying life to the fullest and basically doing wat you feel good and comfortable at.Although another perspective to this is how many people really know wat exactly they feel good or comfortable at???I will not discuss it further but surely its a thing worth giving a good thought at!!!!Anyways being balanced can be best summarized by the word "COOL", which conveys it all.I am not sure but I think majority of youngsters prefer to be regarded as cool over anything.

Here I feel most of changes in the name of coolness are only sorts of PRETENCE and from the deep inner side the person remains the same.I would take my example here.When I came to IIT I never used to speak any foul language and actually had even never heard of the most of the commonly used abusive words.But to my utmost surprise use of such words is very common in colleges.The common justification is that although they are frequently used in the day to day language but they are never meant.So if you are cool you should not react much or feel bad about them.And so although I used to be really hurt on use of such language but never reacted.

But then I have noticed people taking the pretence levels to a point where they kinda adapt to the scenario.I dont know wat you people would call this but I would regard it as compromising with your inner side ethics and it is a certainity that at some time in future you will surely repent.The real problem is that too much of everything is bad and here its the individual himself who has to decide wat this limt is.Cooless is often considered as an oppposite of idealism.And such thinking not only takes the person away from idealism but also sometimes leads to certain regretful acts.Take the example of "Why do people become drug addicts??"May be I took an extreme scenario but then surely its a possibility.The individual must realise its the "HE" who is important and not the others or for that matter not wat others feel or think.I dont at all mean that being cool or trying to be cool is a bad thing but I just wanted to focus more on the other side of the coin.

On personal introspection I find that my kiddish and impulsive nature at times takes me far away from being a cool personality.But then I know it and will not and probably cannot change it.I am not cool and thats a fact.Its not OK but its TRUE.

Partiality

2005-11-16T19:38:00.000+05:30

Ever since I was in school I have noticed the phenomenon of partiality in almost every sphere of competetive world.In school partiality amongst the students was generally because of flattery and to an extend because of nepotism wherever it was applicable.I still remember my history teacher who couldnt even remember my name even though I had scored highest possible marks in every examination throughout my 9th grade.There were several such incidents so I wont go to into details but then with time I had kinda adapted to such kind of scenarios wondering wats in store when I reach the college.

I must admit I wasnt dissapointed when I actually reached IIT.The reason not being that Partiality was not there but because now I had nothing in me which would make me feel unjust.The only area I was good at, acads, there were lots of people better than me and who are still better.I still remember my dissapointment at getting mechanical here.Always thought I deserved better but then after coming here did not take much time to come into the terms,how lucky i was!!!

May be I am deviating from the topic now so to address the real issue I hav to probably come out of me,the real issue being partiality in college.Here partiality is no longer on the basis of flattery or nepotism but on the basis of sex.I have seen the attitude of professors changing all of a sudden as soon as they are indulged in a conversation with female students.On the other hand they are generally circumspect while dealing with male students.Although this cant be generalised but surely it exists on a good scale.The male students also do themselves no good by occassionly being involved in mischievous acts.

And its also not only about academics.In various fields of cultural events, it has almost become a trend that one of the girls hostels being awarded amongst the top thee positions.The job and internship interviews,the percentage of girls clearing them is known to everybody.With all due respect to them,surely its more than because of their technical skills.And its not that female students dont realise it.They know it and are more generally than not ready to exploit it whenever and wherever possible.

Although I am not directly concerned with most of above mentioned things,but still its a matter of concern to many here.But then I also realise that in this case also like many others,we all are helpless. [:(]

Justice??????

2005-11-07T15:57:00.000+05:30

Nobody in this world is perfect.Everyone of us suffers some flaws.Flaws in the sense which may be right in our eyes but not socially.And then for each and every wrongdoing,there are people to do the job of policing.Their job is to prevent the wrong thing from happening and if it does actually happen, punish the culprit.(Though unfortunately in most cases I have seen special attention given to the punishing part and ignoring the preventing aspect).Note that the culprit here is the one who is caught and proved guilty.But here the question arises if they are punished then why not those who are not actually caught though in both cases same crime has been done.I do understand the state of helpness on the part of authorities on this issue but surely something is wrong somewhere.People justify this by reasoning that it would provide lesson to the person who is punished and in all probability bring a feeling of fear practicing the same wrong doing.Somehow I am not convinced and really symathise and empathise with the person caught.

Just wanted to share an incident:

Note:Almost 30-40% people in hostels are social drinkers.Social in the sense they drink probably once or twice in a month but when then they do drink they are no longer social.I assure you can generalise this statement for all drinkers.

Last week one of my friend had to give his birthday treat.We were a group of around 8 and majority decided to have a booze party.Majority always win in my friend circle and so we bought and brought bottles of whisky at one of my other friend's room.This was not the usual thing actually.Mostly all our get togethers are in my room,dont really know why, but this time I had a quiz the next day and wanted to write a post on my blog too so decided not to join them.Really fortunate as far as only I am concerned.To be very frank I HAVE GIVEN UP DRINKING for my own reasons but didnt want to tell them.

Anyways at 1:00 a.m., they were caught red handed by the dean.Luckily two of them had left just minutes before but then unluckily five had not.Later came to know that two sick bastards had actually complained the dean half an hour before.The reason of complain.........may be jealousy,political ambitions or may be something else but surely it was not because they were being disturbed while studying.Bascically the issue was much more than wat it seems to be.Dont wanna go into details but as far as my opinion goes they did something really ethically wrong and if I am given the authority somehow someday I would probably kill them or atleast ensure their fractured legs,arms,ribs etc etc etc.

The dean also surprisingly,unfortunately responded in such a non such manner.I mean can you even imagine a person on such a eminent post reacting in such an ideal manner and that too 1:00 a.m. in the night.Well I have to definitely appreciate the concerned dean for his so much dedication and dutifulness towards his responsibility but then the question arises is he also this much involved in the "Preventing the crime" part of his job too.I have to say here but as far as I can see there are some people who really enjoy stamping their authority anywhere they can although this particular incident to most of you would probably reflect idealism about his character.

I am feeling bad because although so many people drink its my friends who will have to face the penalty.And you know wat???In this particular case I must add I dont even actually agree with drinking being considered a crime.I am not discussing it further but surely will probably defend my case on this issue in some other post later.As if now the fact remains rules are rules and my friends have been caught red handed.

Really sad and disgusting!!!!!

Death!!!!!

2005-10-26T23:12:00.000+05:30

It is very natural that people often think about their existence.....why do they exist,is their something special about their existence etc.I also occasionally think on these lines but then often the question arises wat would happen if I was not there???So just a analysis of the scenario of wat would happen if I die now.

Everyone who knows me wud be really stunned.Most of them's first reaction should be of sorrow but I guess there would be few ones who would probably be happy.Anyways people attending my funeral:
Family - 3 .........pretty sure abt it
Relatives - 30-40....... I hav a pretty big family
Friends in IIT - 40-50 ........They are busy people
Other friends - 10-15 .........Really good friends so hope most of
them would surely come
Others - 20-30.............?????????

So the gathering would be pretty large,about 100 I guess (thanks to IIT) although I am sure more than 50% would had come only to complete a formality.This is probably because every person in todays world is quite settled in his domain and so obviously as far as possible doesnt really deviates frm it.The other reason may be most of the people are practical enough not to think and involve themselves in situations where they are kinda helpless.I acknowledge definitely some of them may be sad for some time,my parents most certainly would take the longest time to settle but eventually everything would get normalised.Every concerned person would adapt to the scenario as life always goes on and on.It never and it really cant stop for anyone else.

But then where would I be????Well there seems to be many possibilities but whose probability to happen are completely unknown I must admit.Anyways some of them are:

1.I would reborn on earth as some other species or as a human only.
2.I would go in some other world........The world of dead people far away from earth.
3.I would remain on earth only as a soul (some of you may say Ghost)
4.I would go to hell or heaven based on my life evaluation.
5.Nothing wud happen.I am finished,thts it.

The Second Set of Commandments

2005-10-21T01:12:00.000+05:30

1.People dont really change from inside.There can be a temporary phase when an individual has a personality change but even then from core inside the person is very much same.There is always a certain level of pretence in everyone so nobody except the person can know the actual reality.

2.The presentation of the efforts is as important as the efforts themselves and probably in reality its even more important.In particular modesty isnt really a very good thing for an audience which doesnt know you well.

3.Nepotism is the reality of life so better be always ready to face it and when the time comes even practice it.Its just not possible for the person in power to behave in an ideal manner.Its kinda natural phenomenon.

4.A person can never be really happy if the people around him are not happy.

5.Success should never be experimented with.Many times in the name of innovation the successful methodology to attain goals is altered and ultimately you end up losing.
The exceptions to this are those to whom doing things in a different manner is actually more important than the real purpose of doing those things.

6.The importance of dreams is very important to realise.Life is really meaningless without a vision.Along with vision there also has to be a true faith regarding the realisation of those dreams.

Relationships

2005-10-11T01:53:00.000+05:30

The first question which has to be addressed is wats the right age for being engaged in a relationship.Wats the age when our minds and hearts are mature enough for handling the complexities of a relationship.Althogh this is a debatable question but i wud still say probably 16 -17 is the age when atleast i have seen the fundas of relationships happening.But then we have to consider the fact these are the 2 yrs in every iitians life when the person has probably not done anything except studying.So for iitians generally it all starts or i shud say it can start when they reach iit.

But then there are some other genuine problems.People generally come here with a shy attitude and to an extent quite dull personality.And adding to that the 10:1 boys girls ratio really hampers the whole idea of relationships.Thus everyone has to first adapt to the new environment which obviously takes time.During this adaptation period some awkward incidents do happen but really nobody cant do nything about them.Example boys being emotionally exploited,girls in superiority complex etc.

As the time goes everyone fits into the scenario,makes new friends and become a part of group.A group where you can share your joys and sorrows and bascically really enjoy life to the fullest.The whole need for being in a relationship is diminished.

And this is probably the time when some genuine relationships can develop.When nothing is pre planned.It just happens.The challenging task now is to maintain a balance between your realationship,family and group which is obviously not a simple task.In some cases the whole situation becomes a mess and the person ultimately lose out on every front.
This was the neutral opinion.

My take on relationships

Generally relationships happen only to show off.Its really hard to believe why a person would want to narrow down his domain to a single person.So in most cases the two people in a relationship are not natural in their behaviour.
On the other hand as far as the few genuine cases go,they also lose out ultimately because of the practical infeasibility of the future in any relationship.It has to end eventually.

So near yet so far

2005-09-28T15:44:00.000+05:30

ITC,probably the best in bussiness, is the the first company which came to IITD for taking interns this time.This semester has been really bad for me till date.Nothing has been going right.So kinda converted me into a big time pessimist.

Although I did fill the application form but I wasn't expecting much.Then came the information,in the afternoon of the 27th, that all the formalities of the selection woud be done today itself.Didnt matter me much as I had nothing to lose.After a 1 hr PPT,came the list of short listed candinates for the group discussion.The criteria of selection was cgpa and the resume.My name was their on the list.It was on the expected lines.Afterall I had a decent cgpa and decent resume.But it wasnt as obvious as i had thought it wud be.They had shortlisted 48 out of 116 applicants and i was probably in the last five as far as cgpa was concerned and probably even lower if resume was also taken into account.Most of my hostel friends unfortunately cud not make it.

Then came the GD.My group had 8 people.Didnt know personally any of them but surely knew they all were better than me as far as debating stuff was concerned. Here was I who had probably never gone on a stage,forget about debating.Never i had participated or seen any GD.Well I didnt had time to think about all these things then as my GD was going to start in 5 mins.Got a formal shirt from one of my friends and in i went.I was nervous but then within few minutes became comfortable.Realised the do or die situation and got involved in the discussion.Surprisingly did pretty well.All the group mates acknowledged it and for the first time in such a long time I was damn confident of my selection.I wasnt wrong.They had short listed 11 people for the interview and I was one of them.However it was really shocking that many of the genuine studs of my department werent selected.

Suddenly I realised how near i m to a grand success.I was always of the opinion tht if by chance i could clear GD,interview shoudnt be a big deal.But then the people here i was competing with were not mug either.Interviews started and I was slotted 9th.People went in and came out.Some did well and some not so well.Then came my turn.This time i wasnt nervous and clearly realised wat was at stake.

Unfortunately screwed the interview.It wasnt that i wasnt able to speak.I just didnt had the experience.Didnt know about the basic fundas of interviews and i was exposed.Results came on expected lines.I wasnt amongst the 5 selected.

No regrets.Many more opportunities would hopefully come by.

Tagging

5 years ago:

Life was really cool.No tensions.Studies were going really fine.Was considered a bond in arbit subjects such as Social science,Sanskrit etc.I still remember when my mates used to attend NTSE classes i preffered to be with my sanskrit teacher asking her my 100 odd doubts.
I was a big time introvert(still i am not comfortable talking to people other than my friends).Didnt know even a single person outside my section.Althogh had some good friends at school and home.
Was a big cricketoholic.I am till now.Used to play everyday in the evenings.Never missed a single one day international.
Was always fighting with my older sister.Also used to give her tips to help her in acads.(She used to really hate me)

1 year ago:

I was starting to get the feel of IIT.My expenditure rose from hundred rupees a week to about four to five hundred a week.The home visits became less frequent.Got in touch with many new people who in due course became really good friends of mine.
It was during this period tht i was doing a subject called machine drawing.It really changed a lot in me.Dep lowest in the first minor.Each and every practical class of it was a nightmare.Finally got C-.The end of my academic aspirations.

*left money i would giv to my family

5 places I would run away to:

Depends on the situation.Sometimes home sometimes hostel sometimes insti sometimes a lonely place
Ideally it wud be a hilly place with lots of greenary,waterfalls,fresh air.Actually had been to such a place once.It was village dhoni in Tehri district,Uttaranchal.Did a part of summer training there.Had an awesome experience.Will write a post on it soon.

PUZZLE

2005-09-19T17:39:00.000+05:30

Two men met in an aeroplane.The first men said to the other"I hav 4 daughters.can u guess their ages?"The other person obviously cud not and asked for hints.
Hints:-

1."The product of their ages is 36."
After this hint the second person cud not answer.

2."The sum of their ages is the same as ur own house no."
After this hint also the second person cud not answer.

3."My youngest daughter has blue eyes."
Finally after this hint the person was able to guess correctly the ages of all 4 daughters.

Explain the logic.

THE END

2005-09-14T21:17:00.000+05:30

It all started in the school days.I never used to like playing any sport except cricket.But since football was a predominant sport in our school i always used to do goal keeping.Gradually developed into a descent keeper.I still remember the tournament when i was in 8th standard when my team won both the semis nd the finals in penalty shootout.I suddenly became the hero of my team.Really one of the happiest moments of my life.Obviously never played ny sport during 2 yrs of jee preparation.

Then came the IIT nd the Aravali hostel,the Sports Champions of IIT Delhi for the last 3 yrs.I started playing again.Got my first chance last yr when I did goal keeping in hockey.I was playing hockey for the first time in my life.But wud u believe Ara won the touranament pretty easily,i must dare to say. Meanwhile I was also reserve keeper in football during the first 2 yrs as we already had a brilliant keeper in Rohitashwa sir.

Finally got my chance this time.First match was Aravali vs Jwala(a team tht had not won a footi match since last 5 yrs).I was doing ok in the practice.But on the field it was a totally different scenario.I was a bit nervous.Half time score was 1-1.The goal scored against us was actually not my mistake so it was okie.But then it happened.I was doomed.Purely due to my blunders jwala scored 2 goals in the begining of 2nd half itself nd it was curtains for Ara nd me.Ara lost 3-2 and most probably out of the tournament.

It was the worst day of my entire iit life and surely one of the worst in my whole life.Didnt had the guts to face the team mates so called my parents to pick me up.I wud surely never play football again.Some people wud say its an escapist sort of attitude but u know sometimes u hav to face the reality.

The solution

2005-09-08T00:45:00.000+05:30

1.Realisation tht its better to be part of grouprs rather than limiting urself to a particular person.

2.Shud not get senti on this issue.Friends main chalta hai.Vaise will try to improve myself.

3.Still i m not tht bad.Its not all over yet.

4.i will do goal keeping in football and hockey.Also definitely will play in inter hostel cricket this time.

5.i will play chess only for fun.

6.Have no choice actually.

7.Probably lifestyles not my cup of tea.

8.Have decided no more publicity of my blog.Jisko padhna hai padhe jisko nahin padhna hai naa padhe.

9.It was only due to luck.So not a big deal.

Why my life sucks????

2005-09-06T22:24:00.000+05:30

1.I dont hav a girl friend.

2.My so called friends really enjoy irritating me nd enjoy at the cost of me.

6.I m the mess secy of Aravali.

7.I was elinminated in the first round of auditions of lifestyles(even when the DND secy is my langotiya yaar and one of the judges was from my hostel).

8.None of my friends is interested in my latest passion,Blogging.

9.Amol got more marks than me in Heat and Mass transfer when i had studied almost 10 times more than him.

Wats special abt this minor

2005-09-04T18:44:00.000+05:30

There has always been somthing special each nd every time minors hav happened.And this time the highlight of minor 1 of 3rd yr mech department was my friend AMOL PARASHAR.

He was in his full form frm the beginning of this sem itself.As usual bunked majority of lectures of almost all courses,played lots of football for his hostel nd on my comp(his latest passion),did lots of chatting nd orkutting .Not to forget his passion for dramatics.Must tell u all tht he is now directing the rezendvous eng play.so obviously had a very hectic schedule with auditions nd script work.Actually hectic is not the right word as he was never studying so had to concentrate only on his play.I used the word "only" becoz i m talking abt the pre minior phase so the real hard work of directing the eng play hasnt started.

Trust me he was almost blank in all the subjects of this sem.Keeping all these things in mind i was almost certain tht he had no choice but to really work hard on the minor days.Well he started on a positive note by deciding not to go home during first 4 minors(in two days).Had no choice actually becoz he had no book ,no notes of ny subject.

But amol had other ideas.He preferred to work on his eng play script,chatting nd orkutting,imorove his fifa game(on comp) nd wats more....started playing cricket 2004 when he got time from fifa nd script.u wont believe but he played 3 full 50 over games of cricket 2004 during this period.Not to forget he also studied between all theses important activities.Probably 1-1.5 hrs in abt 6- 7 installments.Realy psyched all of us.Usually janta logo ko padhta dekh ke psyche hoti hai but this scenario was altogether opposite.

But then amol hai to stud hi.Finally managed to do decent in all the 4 minors with lots of luck nd no hard work.

Kher abhi minors are not over.1 bacha hai nd bhaisahab abhi masala junction gaye hue hai.Lets see wat happens.

cheers to amol parashar

Rightness vs Practicality

2005-08-29T17:57:00.000+05:30

Often we find ourselves in a position when we know for a surety that we r on the right path but then there are certain external factors which are constantly forcing us to choose the alternate wrong path which may be practically more feasible.In such awkward positions different people hav different approaches.Some wud never withdraw frm their stand irrespective of the consequences.There r others who wud rather give more importance to the practicality of the situation nd act according to it.

So here is an incident which I wud like to share with all u people.

It was last wednesday's afternoon when one of my frd was involved in an accident with a proff's car.Immediatelty people nearby rushed to the site.The security people also came nd took his I-card,license,mobile etc.They didnt care to analyse wat had happened and instantly gav him the option of either paying 4 all the damages to the proff's car or be ready 4 a police case.He was obviously not in the state of mind to deal with all this so he informed us (me along with 3 other frds).We immediately reached the site nd analysed the whole scenario.We came to the conclusion tht it was entirely proff's mistake(He was coming frm the wrong side and was trying to overtake frm left) nd so we all decided tht we wud go for a police case.We also took the pics nd even made the video of the site so tht the evidences were not tampered.

Our decision shocked the proff and the security people.They inquired wat was the designation of his(my frd's) father and came to know tht he was at a really big post.They refused to giv the Icard,license etc nd instead of calling the police took him to the dean office.We were not allowed to enter the office.So he was alone their with 2 people of dean's designation,the proff nd 2 security officers.The proff thr defended his case by making an issue of students being not allowed to drive motorised vehicles in the campus(although my frd is a day scholar).The dean claimed tht this was a iit issue nd not not a police issue nd he wud go by wat the security officer says.When my frd tried to put his case,he was threatened by the dean tht he will put him under DISCO for misbehaving with a proff.My frd backed out because he knew how much efforts he had put in for reaching this place nd didnt wanted to get his career spoiled.

Finally a so called compromise statement was drafted.Its clauses were thr "my frd has admitted tht he was 100% responsible 4 the accident","he will have to pay 4 all the damages to the proff's car" nd "he cannot go to the police w.r.t this case nd the matter is closed now".

When we went thr to take the car,2-3 security officers(low designations) came to us nd admitted tht all of them knew tht it was the proff's mistake nd felt sorry for their helplessness.

Somebody has rightly said"THE BOSS IS ALWAYS CORRECT."
For students like us "THE PROFF IS ALWAYS CORRECT."

Really IIT sucks.

My journey...........my first poem

2005-08-05T00:31:00.000+05:30

Being an IITian was always my dream,
never although knew for a long time wat IIT actually mean.

Was always fortunate to be blessed with great buddies,
who were although really never good at studies.

Although didnt ever really considered even myself brilliant,
but was always quite resilient.

Had a dream to realise i always knew,
hence never forgot my pursue.

studied hard for two long years,
and wud you believe without any smears.

Finally got my reward,
no efforts of mine got ignored.

I had to pass through lots of pains,
but eventually thought my adventurous life got reincarnated again,
with the whole of coming life left to reign.

Happiness was all around,
only to suddenly wear down.

Healthy interaction was wat my seniors used to call,
that period in my life was really a forgetful thrall.

Finally the ragging was over,
but sadly not before converting me into a rover.

It took me not days but weeks to settle,
but always knew from the innerside i had that mettle.

And fortuantely i wasn't wrong
with time made many good friends whom with got nicely along,
but sadly also lost some old ones in the prolong.

Never came to realise wat mistake i did,
never understood why they wanted to get me of rid.

I m a senior now,
I m the mess secy now,
still my juniors call me futcha,my mates call me a batcha,i sadly avow.

Few days back wrote a post in my blog devoted to wat i think of life,
only to receive insensible and deeply hurting comments in rife.

Sincerely hope IITians hav regained their intellectualism,

2005-07-31T20:22:00.000+05:30

1.Nothing is wrong in this world.Wrong is one's thinking and attitude.

2.Having gud frds is very important in one's life.Every individual in this world wants to hav good frds.But actually its very rare tht one is able to find an ideal frd.There is always something missing.

3.It is very important to know how to enjoy in ur life.Life is small and so every second of it is precious.Take the life as it comes.Do not expect nything frm it.

4.Identifying ur priorities at a certain moment is very necessary.Work according to them and u will see tht it wud ultimately lead to satisfaction and success.

5.Life is full of uncertainities.There r many things which can happen under worst case scenario which u never feel wud happen under normal circumstances.But in some rare cases u hav to face these worst scenarios which effect ur life in a dramatic way nd may even ruin it.

6.Every person in this society is expected to excel in atleast one field.If not,u r not able to generate respect for urself.Many times u try hard but if u fail,thr is generally no recognition of ur efforts.Result is wat matters.You hav to be result oriented in everything u do in ur life.

7.Never be sad for something bad tht had hapened in the past,may or may not be due to ur own mistake.You cant change it so better not to think abt it.When helpless in a situation,try not to to think too much abt it.

8.Learn to accept defeat.Once u hav failed try to analyse its reasons.Do not show emotions towards the defeat but try to learn frm it.

9.Money is one of the most important necessity of life.Majority of our acts r aimed to earn or conserve it.Also money nd personal relations shud be kept separate.Do not try to intermingle them.

10.Always try to maintain atleast normal realations with everyone.Never know when one's help u wud be needing.You never gain nything by making enemies.

11.Every small thing has its own importance in one's life.We realise their importance when we loose them temporarily or permanently.Always try to appreciate wat u hav rather than wat u dont.

12.Every day we meet new people.Some of them as the time goes on come really close to u.But it is better in the long run not to expect same things which u do for them frm them.Also try to maintain a certain level of privacy with everybody.

13.It is not really good to be a very emotional person.Try to remain unperturbed by ny positive or adverse circumstance and calmly handle the situation.Over excitment can harm u nytime in nyway.

14.When u know tht u hav given ur 100% on something and even then u fail,dont be sad.The truth of life is tht if u put efforts u may or may not be successful but if u dont work hard u ensure the failure.

15.Decision making is one of the most important quality a person shud possess.Its a quality which can be developed once u realise its importance.Once u take a decision stick to it and be ready to face its aftereffects.

16.Manytimes we underestimate the calibre of other people.We do something to fool someone or simply hide something and feel tht other person wont understand.But 99 on 100 we r fooling ourselves only.

17.Learn to be selfish.It is not bad to think abt others but not at ur own cost.

18.It is very important to understand the difference between innosense and stupidity.Often u do something in ur innosense but is actually very stupid of u.In the real world,after a certain age thr is no real significance or role of innosense in life.
