Life converges to a constant quantity.

I am back after a long time.
Actually, there is nothing like "I am back", as I am still here, where I literally have been for the last two years.
I am back, because, I have yet again decided to post a new blog.
I am back, because, after a long time time, I have gathered quite a lot to write about.
This semester has been quite hectic for me(It hasn't ended, though!).
This time too, I started the semester with a resolution to devote myself to my acads.
In the same prototype manner, I started on a good note. I used to attend each and every lecture, despite the fact that, the Profs had still been boring.
Though, this time, some of the courses were quite interesting.
But, .......... I dont know........ I mean ............ I know that something is wrong with me....but.... what is it?....................... I dont know....... and I dont find anyone, who could tell me that.

Leave the acads aside.
A few days ago, we celebrated our Hall Day.
The event was named, "Pensieve 07'". Like every Hall Day, this time too, there had to be a theme.
So, the theme was decided,( and it was decided well) to be "Harry Potter".
All sort of preparations... 10 straight night-outs.... endless tasks and a great ordeal, but, at last , a great outcome.
The Hall Day was greatttttttttttttttt.
Extending the word great cant be an exaggeration.
We made structures and backdrops, (Using bamboos and useless old newspapers) , that depicted Hagrid's Hut, The Wizard Express & Quidditch Ground and we made cut-outs of Hermioni Granger, Hagrid, Dumbledore and many others.
Honorable Deputy Director and Dean Of Student Affairs (DOSA) were some of the distinguished guests.
Such was the aura of Hall-3 on that night, that, Deputy Diro had to rush back to his home to bring his wife, to show the things we did!!!
Guests from all other Halls were phtographing and video recording each and every thing.
Play was gooo..........ood , Skit marvelous (Hall2 guys wont agree, though) , Musicals ...hmm.. I am running short of words!!
For some glimpse you may visit, http://www.girijesh.photoshop.com

Even the DOSA shouted aloud "Hall 3 ka tempo high hai!!!!".

Chalo, back to acads, 23rd se End-Sem exams are going to start.
There was a quiz today!!
A hell lot of preparation is to be done again!!
Night outs?? Ya , they are the only option!

Going to study now.
Bye till next post

Success, faliure and uncertainties.

Life is a gift to us by the supreme power.
It is though the last one, he gave us happily.
Right after coming to this world, a person has to struggle for each and every thing he wants.
A small child has to cry and keep crying unless his needs are fulfilled by his parents.
Slowly , as we grow up, we have to fall several times before we learn how to walk.
As we grow further, we start learning to compete with our friends in every field.
"Survival of the fittest", is what they say.
And to become the fittest, we have to struggle and keep struggling.
Life is such a gift!!!!

People live and grow in this world.
On an average, each of them get nearly the same time to live.
Some people excel, others just fall.
What is this all about??
I mean, everybody wants to achieve a lot. Is it all about the hard work??
I wont completely agree with it.
Yes , I accept that hard work matters. But, I have seen people failing inspite of that, and even you will agree that only the hard work doesnot suffice.

Then???
Is it luck??
Its really a mysterious question. If anybody tells me that, whatever I have achieved till now was just luck, I wont agree.
But, I wont ever hesitate to say that ,"Ohh! ..He??.. well he was lucky enough to achieve that."
Dont you agree with me??

So, It seems to be a difficult question.
What does the Supreme want from us.
Why should he make some people happy and others sad.
Why should someone laugh when some others are still unable to wipe his/her tears.

Well may be a combination of these. Or, whatever.
My question is that, why on this earth, do we not have a total control on our destiny.
Why cant we do and achieve, what we have always longed for?
Who is testing us all the time, and why is he doing this?
Is there something beyond life, that our science has not yet discovered?
Is there something veiled, behind the curtains, which we are unable to see?
Is there some kind of surprise quiz going on?

Well maybe.
But again, what should we do to qualify this test, if it is happening?
What I have learnt in my life is that, the failiure comes from the half heartedness in our response to the situation.
Whenever any step is taken half heartedly, it is 60% bound to fail.
ha......, why 60%??
well thats what i have observed.

Again, why do people take half hearted steps, at all??

From my life, I can tell you , this because of the fear of failiure.
See.....
We want to do something , which we are afraid of failing to. And because of this fear, we are unable to give our 100% and then we risk our 40%.
(These datas are subject to your jurisdiction.)

So??
What should we do to remove this fear.
How to fight it?

Well, what I have observed is that, we are afraid beacause of the uncertainty of the future.
Consider this.
Suppose somebody tells you that, you start this particular venture. you will loose this much amount in the first month, but in the following period, you will gain too much to make up for your losses.
What would you do??
Definitely you would go for it. And the initial faliure, too, wont deter you from your path.
But, this doesnot happen in this real world.
Uncertainty is the rule of quantum mechanics and the future as well.

So, the conclusion i have derived is that, all these uncertainties are there to test your grit.
The one who gets least bothered by these uncertainties, achieve the most.

How to fight these uncertainties???
If I had an answer, I would have been the ruler of this world!!!

great dillema!!

The greatest question , which is confronting me these days is, "What the hell am I doing at IIT Kanpur".
No its not that, I never wanted to be here .
Like many other people, I had a goal in my life..... get inide the great IIT , by hook or by crook.
But , its not that, this was my sole goal. I had an image of the IIT's in my mind.
I used to think of it as a place where people learn great skills.
Like , CSE Dept churning out great computer scientist and hackers. Aero dept producing world class astronauts.............. But, no. What I found out here , was a continuation of schooling. We do choose our dept of choice before coming here, constrained to our ranks in IIT JEE , but it seems thats the last choice we are offered .
After that, we have to study what we are asked to , by our dept.
Moreover 50 % courses are common here for all the departments.
I dont know, what benefit will biotech students will have by studying Real Analysis. Or, for that matter, why should a Mathematics student work in the Material Sciences Lab hammering a red hot iron rod.
I mean, these things are not at all necessary.
Most of the time , I keep wondering, why am I doing a particular course.
Why should not we be given the liberty to choose our subject on our own?
Ya, they do offer some "Electives" . But, most of the time , they are not electives. Suppose, I am interested in a particular subject , I will have to check , whether i satisfy the prerequisite to that paper. Further, the timings should not clash with some other subject.
That is , we are left with little "choices".
Thanks to the Govt. of India, in the coming days, people will be having lesser alternatives or choices.
