Survived.. Rather Saved

The results of my first semester exams are out and I(?) have somehow managed to pass in all the subjects and got first class. It's the output of the input given by rather not given by me during first semester after being processed by our honorable teachers. Being honest, I didn't perform up to the mark as I had not worked hard. I think the teachers were generous and kind to pass me. There was a mix of emotions; guilt and relief, when I received the mark sheet. When I got results of the mid term exams, I decided to work hard for the final exam but things didn't go as well as I had expected. Major time was consumed by project work. I read more in the vacations after the exams than before the exams.
When lectures commenced in the new year, teachers would discuss question papers and some mistakes made by students. Every time, my case was discussed and my case was discussed every time but I was kept anonymous. I also would join my friends in laughing when teachers would discuss some funny mistakes, despite knowing they were made by me. Statistically, the standard deviation of my marks is 6.56 which looks good but if you look at my marks, you'll come to know I didn't do justice to all the subjects. I was biased towards some of the subjects.It has always been like that since childhood. Except TY when I loved all the subjects. I believe all the students in DIMSR have almost same aptitude. The difference between the marks of two students is just the difference between hard work done by them. It's time to introspect and retrospect. It's time to pull up my socks. For that I have to wear shoes rather than sandals(Read:floaters) everyday . So I'll pull up socks tomorrow morning. Oh god, what I am writing!
P.S. Historically it has been seen that those who accompany me, do well academically. There were Siddhesh and Vishwajeet till HSC. There was Indrajeet in TY. Now, there is Siddhesh who scored much higher than me and secured 7th rank. Any girl wanna get good marks?

My first shaayri

Front Page News

India announced its greatest civilian award 'Bharatratna' but our national(?) newspapers whose names have words like 'Hindustan' or 'India' printed front page top news headlines about voting in U.S.A. I haven't seen other English newspapers. I am too disheartened to write much.

King Is King

I congratulate Vishwanathan Anand a.k.a. Vishy for his splendid and spellbinding performance in the recent match against Vladimir Kramnik. In the recent match, Anand forced Kramnik to make mistakes. Much have been said about the Undisputed King of the world of 64 squares so I am not going into details and waste my and your time praising him. The reason I admire this man is he is not a product of any Chess school. His natural talent was nurtured by his mother. Even if he is ruling the world of 64 squares, he still works hard to find new strategies, works on his weaknesses, and buries himself into the depth of this beautiful and mysterious world everyday. He takes efforts to keep himself physically and more importantly mentally fit. I think he is the greatest sportsman India has ever had. Next is legendary Dhyanchand. Though he has been rewarded with ‘Padmavibhushan’, you would agree with me if I say he should be given ‘Bharatratna’. He has suggested the greatest Chess player Garry Kasparov to make a come back to Chess. I would like to see them fighting against each other.
Hats off to Vishwanathan Anand.

Something I Obsereved..

Assumption: Two and only two lovers are considered.

Watch And Ignore

Following are some of the practices which are not allowed by law but they take place on regular basis in Mumbai.
1. Selling things on roads or footpaths in non hawking zone.
2. Cooking food on streets.
3. Smoking in public.
4. Not to wear helmets.(By bike riders)
5. Building huts.
6. Fishermen selling fishes door to door.
7. Spitting/ littering public places.
8. Not putting up Marathi signboards as per government/MMC rule.
9. Standing on the footsteps of a rail while traveling.
10. Sitting on the top of rail bogie.
11. Denial of fares to passengers.(by rickshaw and taxi drivers)
12. Cleaning vehicles on roads.
13. Selling/buying pirated CD's.
14. Consuming liquor without having license.

Who is responsible for these things?
a) The people who do it-
Argument against this: Humanity flows in veins of one’s body when one says “These people do it for their bread and butter.” Or “They have no other option” or “They are very poor. What’s their fault?”

b) The people whose duty is to prevent this from happening.-
Arguments against this: Well, if I beat you, you should blame the people whose duty is to maintain law and order.

I know this is quite pessimistic and hopeless post.

Happy Birthday To Me

14th Oct, 2008;Time: 4:30 pm
I slept at 2:30am. I woke up at 6:30 am. I was so enthusiastic that I wasn't feeling sleepy.for a change. What a day this have been! This is the best birthday I've had yet. I've same feeling on every birthday of mine.Phone calls, short messages, emails, wishes in person etc. I was flooded with wishes. Everybody from my division was wishing me in DIMSR. I was feeling so special.Talking about gifts, I've got mobile earphones, a pair of shoes, an empty wallet, big Dairymilk and loads of wishes. Talking to dear ones after long time is an ineffable experience. Kishore called me after 2-3 years. I don't remember. I was and am joyous. The day is not over yet.Yesterday night I was speaking on phone for more than two hours. Birthday is a special but what makes it so special are your dear ones' wishes and blessings. I am thinking over one thing; does birthday make you so special or you make your birthday special. I've an answer too, but I'll answer tomorrow if I get time.
Happy Birthday Nikhil.

Good is Not Good

Most of the times what we say is good may or may not be good, because the word ‘good’ as an adjective and not as a noun doesn’t have any absolute meaning. The term reflects people’s perception. It is a relative term. When you appreciate any of the qualities of a person, it’s just that she is better than you as far as that particular quality is concerned. Or as good(?) as you if you think you are good at the same quality. E.g. when and if you perceive me as a good synthesizer player, you actually think that I play the instrument better than you do. I would be angry and put off when one would unnecessarily praise others not me ;) for something they were not. Why people unnecessarily praise others? Yesterday, when the thought which is mentioned above, popped up in my mind, I found the reason. They don’t appreciate unnecessarily. It’s their perception. There are no standard defined for a thing being good.

Think of some people who are/were on peak in their respective fields. Sir Donald Bradman, Carlos Santana, Warren Buffet etc. Such people have set limits to reach to motivate others in the respective fields. I would say, when one reaches this limit, we may say he is good at that.

So always try to be better, than yourself and others, you’ll be absolute good.

Does this post mean good=best?
