Religious Texts

Religious texts can't be the ultimate truth. All religions are work of fiction. But why most of our Muslim Brethren believe Islam is the only true religion and everything written in Quran is gospel truth? One of the defence can be because really it is, you read it to know it. Well whatever preaching I have listened in the name of Islam is enough to tell me that its not without its fare share of anomalies like all other religion. Accept it that all religion is same means all religions are equally stupid. Or you tell Its only religion I tell mine is the one from sanatan period and all other religions are descendent of it. (Because I don't find so much radicalised Hindu as much as I find it in Muslim, I abhor all form of religious extremism be it Hindu or Muslim)

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!

P.S. Dedicated to JNV Jethian

I poured water on my laptop to clean it!

And it stopped working! Screen and keyboards were looking quite dirty. Dust accumulates on screen and its quite common that screen looks ugly. And what I did for making it beautiful? A complete insane work! I soaked cotton with water and first cleaned the screen and then the keyboard. I have done it so many times so I was quite confident that it would not harm it.

You must be thinking from where I got this idea of cleaning with water? Somewhere I read that chemicals are not good for cleaning screen, and at some other place that water can be used for cleaning the screen of laptops.
I love my laptop more than anything. In fact it has got such a big space in my routine that I can't live without it. So I take care of it the best way I can. Cleaning with water was meant for better care but it turned out to be a nightmare.

This time I did two mistakes
1. I applied more water on screen which seeped inside the laptop through the holes of speaker
2. I cleaned the keyboard too without caring for that some water is going down

It is not that a very big amount of water has gone inside. It would have been just few drops. I even left it to dry for a hours. But then when I started it again there was a very very faint display on the screen. I immediately forced shutdown it. Then again I started it. There was no display. I waited for few seconds I heard some sound ti.. ti... I did forced shutdown again this time getting confirm that there is some problem. Heart beat rate soared, me completely scared! Yeah it was the effect of water and the best thing which I should have done is to leave it untouched. That time there was no power, and I thought that keeping it on charge may help by heating it (again a wrong idea) or it may give extra power to start it. But since there was no power I started to wait eagerly for power. Meanwhile my eagerness and fear forced me again to switch on the laptop hoping that this time it may start. But it didn't! It stopped just by lighting all the indicators. Power was coming in mouse I attached external hard disk which also showed power. It seemed that everything is fine and there is problem with the display only. Sensing that I kept it on for long I did forced shutdown again!

After an hour power came and I attached the power cord switched my laptop again but again the same thing followed. All these steps were a part of identifying the problem and hope that this time it may start! I removed battery, attached power cord and started it. Again all indicators lighted showing a normal start up but there was no display again. All these things I have not shared with my Mom. We two were only there at home that time.

I contacted DELL and they sent a quotation of Rs 18,000 for changing the mother board and one year complete warranty. My warranty has expired and I haven't renewed it! The customer care after hearing my story said "Aapne Kulhari khud hi apne pair pe mar li" and then modified it "ya phir khud pair kulhari pe mar di". In fact he laughed on the idea of cleaning with water. And after which I decided that to no one else I shall say that I cleaned my laptop with water!

I asked him if I could dry it and he told the process to open the laptop. I searched for screw driver but I couldn't get at home, went to market but in vain. I got a nearly matching screw driver it could open all other screw but not the one I was trying to. This screw was a bit tight. I left it for air drying. Lids open and fan in full swing above it. Meanwhile I again went to market to some electronics shop but they didn't give me the screw driver even after my promise and a surety money to return it.

Papa came back from office and I told that some water has fell upon it from glass and now it is not starting. He suggested that I shouldn't switch it on again, and I told that I did switched on for just one time. I had to lie. I was puzzled on my insanity! If water has gone into why I started it for several times? Why I couldn't think that water getting inside will harm the computer!

In the evening I went to internet café to read "what to do if water fall on your laptop?" I got the answer and experiences of people. Many people left it untouched for few days and it started normally. I got tensed again as I had started it several times. For the whole night I couldn't sleep properly. From around 4 o'clock in the morning I started to think and dream of my laptop. Many times I got angry on myself. Sometimes I dreamt that it is working fine and me typing something in notepad! A perfect nightmare for me! I woke up early in the morning. Decided that today I shall keep myself fresh and will not stress much to my mind. I have my mid-semester exam after the Durga Puja Vacation. And if I continued in a bad mood it was going to affect the exam as well. Though many notes in the form of clips were there in my laptops but still I have enough notes to study so it was more important to change the mood. Saying is easy but believing; a tough job! I bathed early in the morning and went to a mobile repair shop with my laptop. I asked for screw driver by showing him the screw. I got the screw driver and I opened the laptop for the first time. Though it was not a big deal but still I feared entering into yet another problem. I opened it and there was so much dust inside. Cleaned it with a brush and then dried it with a air dryer. Thankfully he was having hot air dryer. I applied it everywhere. Removed the keyboards for which I took the help of a friend (Ankit Dutt) over phone. Opened the back side of it to remove RAM as suggested by Ankit but I couldn't find where the RAM was! So I just applied hot air on every part of the laptop for quite a big time. Then the shopkeeper was anxious to know whether it is working or not! In fact I would not have switched it on there. But on his request I switched it on after fitting all the screws back. Quite anxious and visibly tensed I switched it on!

And to my surprise it started normally as if nothing has happened to it! I got relieved took a long breathe and thanked the shopkeeper for his help. I gave Rs 20 to the shopkeeper and returned back home. Giving the message to Papa on phone.

Thankfully I got my laptop back in normal conditions. I thanked to Almighty for his generosity! I had prayed to him before.

Many thing I learned from this experience. At the end I am happy!

Happy Diwali ...!!!

Among all the speculation of whether to brust crackers or not I did it without giving it a thought! Feeling fresh after a brusting Diwali at home after a long time. Meeting childhood friends makes me emotional sometimes. Celebrating Diwali in village in candles light is pleasing!

Bbye dear I am waking from a long hibernation on my blog

P.S. I am still single ....n..... confused whom do I love!
P.S. I have no first class today!

Let's Talk

Let's talk and let's talk tough, it was the motto of today's gathering here at ISM. This discussion was followed by a candle march  in condolence to people died in one of the worst terrorist attack at Mumbai. Without discussing the useless talk of reasons and solutions for our dearest Government. We discussed what a college student should do to bring out the change. What a youngest electorate of INDIA can do to make the change.

 

What's the difference we as a college student can bring about in the society. When we would be coming out of colleges people would be expecting a lot from us. We are expected to act reasonably and sensibly to bring out the change.

 

Today young people's number is much higher than our older counterpart . But the problem is most of the young people don't vote. Some who vote also go by the biased decision of there society they are living in. I think this is not for what we are made up off. Younger and educated people have greater tolerance for different religions, cast and creeds. Then why are you sitting mute? Why don't you exercise what you really feel about? Why don't you make people realise that Leaders who are asking vote on the basis of such parameters are of no help. Let people exercise there voting right in a reasonable way. Show them the way! Let's bring out a revolution.

 Why don't you think of a political career?  

Are you ready to bring your discussion in to some action??

Are you willing to work for the cause of society?

 

Or

You are too busy with your educational career.

You have to work for making your career global.

You have to work abroad!

 

Here I feel many of us do think like that. We are self conscious but not socially conscious. We would work day and night for our own career but we can't work for people around us who are in dire need of us.

We can at least brain wash our fellows in our locality to go for a change and think in broader way. I know people around us are biased in some or the other way on various basis.

 

 

Don't think of yourself only! Think of the friend you played with in your childhood. Think of the society you go back to get the love and care. People whose faces lighten up when you return there.

You are a human and among all other things you love to be cared. You love to live in a society where everyone is happy and ready to cooperate. Now its your turn to make your effort to lift up your society. You can't wait for the day when you would be a big man a big industrialist. I know we have a dream, we have a dream like this that one day I would be a big entrepreneur, one day people would be following me. Please don't concentrate on yourself only. Make your society part of your dream.

P.S. Among everything effort of Kartavya got admiration as well

P.S. This post needs active participation from readers so don't forget to comment

P.S. Are You ready to take the action?

 

 

मैं पागल हूं

मैं पागल हूं, क्योंकि मैं सोचता हूं.. मैं पागल हूं, क्योंकि मैं पूरे समाज को, एक चश्में से देखने की कोशिश करता हूं.. मैं पागल हूं, क्योंकि मैं अंग्रेजी को, अपना सब कुछ मानने वाले समाज में, भी हिंदी बोलना चाहता हूं.. मैं पागल हूं, क्योंकि मैं अपना समय बरबाद होने की चिंता छोड़कर, दूसरों की मदद करना चाहता हूं.. मैं पागल हूं, क्योंकि मैं महाराष्ट्र या गुजरात नहीं, बिहार जाना चाहता हूं.. मैं पागल हूं, क्योंकि मैं किसी जलसे में, किसी के कपड़े फाड़ने के पक्ष में नहीं हूं.. मैं पागल हूं, क्योंकि ऐसे लोगों को दुनिया, पागल ही कहती है.. और मैं खुश हूं, क्योंकि मैं पागल हूं..
