Surat : Nice Meeting with you


I am in surat now. Surat was not an unfamiliar name to hear for me. As I knew every uneducated people of my village and nearby villages come to surat to find a job. In fact the name surat brought before me the same figure of childhood. I reassured that I am not going there in a search of job.

First day at surat was yesterday when I came here and stayed at a hotel near station.

This was the second time in last 6 months that I have been to Gujrat. Except salty water at few places it’s a nice place to be.

You can listen people praising Modi on roads.

Well I liked the city because its not like Dhanbad where I am spending the most joyful years of my life. Good roads good "people" on roads! Party culture is unique people celebrate there weekends on phootpath …  with food and a bed sheet spread over it. Though there are so many parks in the city as well.

Surat is quite open and in spite of the fact that BJP is ruling the state there is no sign of RSS. Absence of its activity can be seen in parks lonely bridge and many more places :). You might have hesitated to travel on a bike with your male friend sitting behind. It just looked awkward with all the couples flowing on the road. These things made me realise that I am yet to live in a metro. And this much backward sense of thought can only come to a guy from villages!

Through out the day we were busy making entry pass and training schedule getting accommodation etc.
When you come to industry you know your value and the value of the place you belong to. A great combo of Indian School Of Mines and Petroleum Engineering!

Life at ONGC is superb as I see it. I would love to join it if got a chance!

P.S. This was written two months before.
P.S. Besides I also loved the cheap food at Big Bazzar.

Looking Back

Its 26th January and I knew it because today mess is off and I have to travel to RD for having my breakfast. In the past 3 years 15th august and 26th January passed just as another holiday. Though it was a festival for me in my childhood.

It was a very special day in Navodaya. Full day we were busy in some activity be it march past, cultural show, art exhibition or cricket match. I wish to thank Navodaya for giving me a wonderful childhood.

I once participated in the art exhibition and got a consolation prize. I never realized that even me can be on the rankings. I was too happy that day. Now I feel that this thought that I am not a good artist made me a bad artist. Similar things happened and everywhere I thought I am not good at this and didn't even give a thought to learn them.

Class six was a observatory year for me. I expected every one around me was brilliant than me. Though here I thought to compete. I tried and I was happiest when at last I became the topper of my class in eight. I learnt by myself that "nothing is impossible" you need to just keep moving and a have burning desire to do so! I succeeded and I kept talking what made me this? I kept my observation till class ten and by that I was a strong person mentally. Then I realized the power of thought and thought process.

Then after reaching college everyone was somehow like me every one dreamt and worked very hard to get here. Today when I look back I consider myself lucky that I didn't listen others but myself. I was very less influenced by the society I was in.

Now when I look back I see how something was most important than all other things. I was a geek and its not a superlative. How I missed my love because something was more important than this as well! This was a thought that involvement in any other activity is detrimental to my career and I avoided all of them. I might be wrong at this point but that's how I was I didn't take risk when it came to something related to my future.

If you see my dedication you might tell I couldn't get what I set to achieve! You can well think where I might have been had I not put even this much effort!
