Destiny

What I was, was all that I wasn't

What I would be is all that I wont want to be

What I should be, well do I have an idea... :|

Frankly, exactly an year ago when my Facebook status read 'A happy end for a new start', neither was I sure as to was it a new start or was it an happy end and now after a 365 when i contemplate as to what I lost and what I gained I feel there are just a couple of changes - College replaced by VSP and friends replaced by money. But then does this make me happy?!

Hell NO.

For most of those who knew me, for them I doubt now I'm just another # in the cyber world and the ones whom I thought I knew are still a lost thread in my wrenched coat. And time passes by suturing all that is unstitched. Having patience doesn't buy you girlfriends nor does enthusiasm gift you promotions. But then are these the ones for which I actually long for....!?

NAAH!

A year back neither did I realize that photography would be my hobby making me spend 40 grands for something which I couldn't even hold properly first few weeks nor that I would end up developing love for something I hated my 4 years of undergrad life, read METALLURGY!! But then this is life, Simple yet so complicated. This last one year has taught me a lot and today when I write this blog I realize how much I miss being myself, the one which the world knows and the one which I tried to be. All those laughs, all those pranks, all those ram-sham jokes, all those pehchaan kaun series are now just a parched leaf in my life-tree. But then we do have a blossom every spring!!

Forgetting a friends birthday without whom you  didn't even visit the loo, talking to mom dad like its been ages around and working like donkeys all day round may have become a daily routine but then the important point is to grab the positive even out of this blatantly sad life. Achievements are a part and parcel of our life and even though my contribution in them might be minimal but then it does add a tag to the credentials. Commissioning of Blast Furnace 3 in Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited is an apt example of what I just quoted. 6 months of efforts in it and I to now get a name as a commissioning member with people putting in efforts for it since last 5 years. But then it has taught me a lot, has given me new friends, has given a new direction to my life. But then still the question remains Is this what all I would be...?!

Whatever might be the outcome of all this one thing I know now for sure, its not important what you do to please others, its all about keeping yourself happy and I still know the only thing that makes me happy is the bunch of idiots I made friendship with during my college days. Missing them makes me move to office every other day, missing them makes me work more on every other task so that when I spare time with them I live the best moments of my life. Hoping to see you all soon. Love you loads.

Nuclear City

In my dream the other night two neutrons wandering had a small chat...

Neutron1: Lets kick some real arse buddy!

Neutron2: Yeah! Probably it's time to hit upon uranium...

Neutron1: wait wait wait... Looks like the dark lords coming.

Neutron: Boron huh!?

Neutron2: Nopes.. we can easily ditch a boron. This seems to be something else :S

a SHADOW appears from the dark...

Shadow: so where do you wanna settle? India, Russia, France, USA...

Both Neutron1 and Neutron2: Lolz... we heard India. Not possible dude!

Lights on....

Nuclear energy still remains only the forth energy source for electricity generation in India after thermal, hydroelectric and renewable energy resources. I think India today aiming at worlds third largest nuclear power plant expansion plan, has certainly taken an ambitious leap. But will this surely happen!?

these days in the newspaper on one page we read news regarding 14 new nuclear power plant approval by Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) in different parts of the country, including one at Kovvada in the backward Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh, Jaitapur in Maharashtra or Kundakulam in Tamil Nadu, where one of the two VVER-type reactors (2000 MWe) is ready for operation and on the very next page the politics played by bureaucrats and MP's to cash upon it.

Taking the case of Kovvada plant which is receiving opposition from families to be displaced and civil society groups on grounds of improper compensation offered by NPCIL, I think the government has taken a very wise decision by offering four time the existing land rates as settlement. But due to this, what we can say mean minded attitude of the mango man, its India which has to suffer in the longer run. And then the opposition gets mulling over the government blaming it for a complete failure to handle the situation.

In the nutshell, the civil society groups instead of ragging the government should explain the benefits of these nuclear power plants. Our lands today can be put to use in a much better way than the existing methodologies and that a few bucks lost today will turn out into gold tomorrow. Its time we Indians think out of our domain so that may be a few years later we will again become the same 'Sone ki Chidiya!!'

Time - The Insidious Bitch!

No time to LIVE, with all leave to Time!

Right from the moment we open our eyes, the race begins, the race for survival, the race for LIVEing what is called LIFE! For some it starts the day they are born and for someone like me it starts whenever I wake up everyday! :D

Time is a impregnable business, its a deceptive cipher to decode. The one who puzzles it out walks out as a straight winner in Life. Coincidentally we have Hero's worth counting on our fingers. It is time which gives us name, fame, friends, sorrow and happiness in life. Its is time which taught me or rather evolved into me the thought to make compositions like:

U Found Me when I was Looking 4U,

Oh Dear! Say cheez coz its all so BLUE,

Deep within t heart lies a place still treasured just for U, 

Till then stay happy coz its in lieu of something new, 

So that we can say again, U Found Me when I was Looking 4U....

and also the fact that sometimes making a laugh of yourselves amongst your peers may sometimes be the best way to get out of the otherwise following humiliation! (I hope you get what I mean)

For time may become a witch and play tricks upon you, its your confidence and patience that will help you produce a ACCIO or a ALOHOMORA to open new paths to glory or even a AVADA KEDAVRA! Here comes your experience to deal with situations into picture, where again time is the witty teacher. It makes us work, it makes us love, it makes us think and what not!

Saying so, Caboodle of thoughts is inversely proportional to the time we have to fulfill them! Working in a PSU or for that matter in any manufacturing industry will give you a first hand experience of this fact wherein it seems you have ample of time but then its actually worthless.

To catch this with my last blog, we can say: 'Life sometimes gels into monotonous Zero's!'

Foreseeing on my own example, working in shifts makes it a pretty simple equation: 8 and a 1/2 hrs of work and rest all is yours to LIVE your life. But then in order to LIVE that life, an important precondition 'Friends and their TIME' always creates an recurring error and thus the system fails. But then as I said, time is a very witty companion. All this free time makes me contemplate on my unfold qualities in life to which even I was a stranger until now, might it be Blogging or playing some blatant tune on my guitar!

The bottom line being we can't predict the future, all we can do is sail in this babbling stream of Time coz for sure this stream one day will kiss the ocean! In plain English - 'Live life the way it comes to you!'

Zero!

Great personalities are those, who engulf infinite zero's in their life.


Every morning the sun rises in the east, moves past our head to narrow down into the west-we call it evening, and the suns ready to repeat the same schedule for the rest of its life. Human race is more or less just like the motion of the Sun in Zeros.

Our life is full of adventures and thrills each time zeroing us at the same start point making us ready to face newer challenges and encompass greater skills. Accumulating these small Zeros we can ultimately hit upon many more to follow. May be that's what I have been doing for 22 long years of my life so far. Might it be studies, might it be spilling the beans with friends along the katta or might it be killing time on fb@lukkhe!

Some of the Zero's worth mentioning include Aarohi. For all others who were never a part of it, it will always remain just another college festival. But for me it has been the turning moment of my life. After moving through the hierarchical steps for four years of my college life working for Aarohi, today I find myself standing at the lowest step of hierarchy in my professional life thus completing a Zero in itself. Ten years down the line I might not remember the classroom or my Professor but the experience gained during Aarohi is something I will cherish forever.

To quote another example, let's venture upon the idea of today's Love!

Love is the spice of life and manifold options in it is the spice of Love.

In this 21st century Relationships have become a child's toy. We mingle with someone, spend time, money, thoughts, only to later realize that either it was a dream or a bad experience. The tree of love sprouts with a SMS (unlike its abbreviation, the longer, its better), watered by phone calls, blossoms in the Coffee Shops, Sea Shores and Candle-light Dinners and is one fine day axed by some other stronger contender! Bottom line being we move in Zero's getting ready for the next endeavor to find our 'True Love'.

Its all about accumulating these Zeros and enjoying the entire caravan, so that we leap forward to achieve bigger ZERO's!! Ultimately life starts from our mothers womb and ends in ashes with mother nature only to rise upon in the next era making me to believe-The one with the most Zero's in life is the ultimate Hero!
