LooK, Who'S BacK...!!!!!!! :P

Hello friends,
Actually it has been more of a hibernation period for me that I am back from.
A far too many things deterred me from posting(sorry it s so very rude of me,fact is,that didn't get a real,genuine inspiration to pen down something )
Call it "pursuit of destiny" or "securing your future" approach,It did keep me pretty busy(to my utter surprise neither of these approaches worked...hehehe)....!!!!
Well..Past few months have been the most beautiful time I have ever had in my life.. :)
It was a blend of couple of local outings with friends,a very gud time with someones whom i cared about,examinations n several things...!!!
Will of course post some of those gr8 experiences,till then have a gr8 time buddies...!!!!!
Catch yu all later...!!!!!!
:)

Happy Independence Day to everyone...!!!!!

Since childhood these beautiful lines have echoed on this auspicious day "15th August" every now and then..A masterpiece by the maestro himself...Rabindranath Tagore had framed this poem not just to awake people but also to improve the then Indian plight..Our country has come up well,I must say..!!!!

I simply luv these lines-

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake!!!!!

A fine sunday afternoon.....

Hello friends...Wish yu all a very Happy Friendship Week...:)

Spent very quality moments with my college friends...School friends also showed up at d perfect time to double the cherishing moments...(Thank you FRIENDS!!!!)

But earlier in the afternoon when rain God showered His blessings in abundance I had to go find myself a safer place so that I don't catch cold being already a li'l sick(I did eventually catch cold anyways!!!!!) Crossword came to my rescue...!!!!!

I began searching for a good book and then finally got one after a while(thnxxx to d management)...

When i stepped out a boy,sober n innocent carrying a bag of incense sticks interrupted me..!!!!(Gajanan was his name). Prima facie things are not d same as they appear...I firstly refused buying those incense sticks..but then he added...

"Sir,I go to school.Iam a 9th std student n m doing ths so that I can pay my fees dis monday..This incense sticks would cost you meagre 30 Rs but will fetch me 2 Rs on each pack...I gotto collect 500.." Dunno why i fall very easily to such situations????

I enquired about his school n his family...And was more than shocked to hear that hehad lost his father last year and that he was the only one elder aftr his Mum...and all i cud do was buy those sticks!!!!!

when I sat down last night n pondered whether I was fooled by him or juz paid my share by helping him???!!!!!One thing is for sure that i gave my Cadbury Crackle equivalent to him(no matter for good or not cuz' anyhow itz gonna help him financially....!!!!!)

And d fact that Gajanan would be able to pay the fees,still remains a mystery..!!!!!

An era comes to an End.....

Hello friends.....Like always,so many things kept me busy...or may be it was too lazy of me to post about...Anyways,My Final year exam was one of it..!!!!!!

Yeah,m done with my exams(were good though...)

The moment i wrote my last word on the answer sheet and that last full stop made my heart breathe a sigh of relief....."Now,no more, 3 hours exam to stress out the mind like hell", said it happily.....

But seriously speaking,The inner Shail's heart doesn't want it to get over....From now on no classes(that v hardly attented...),no canteen timepass...nothing...!!!!! its over...!!!!("Only for the good",explains and consoles 'my heart'....)

The joyous feeling of end of Engg is far more lesser than parting with the college and friends...needless to say, i would miss everyone...

And after the project thing is over, everyone would step into the newer world,on the path towards their career...

The change is ought to come for the revolution to happen....Something that would transform the life into an entirely different thing...!!!!!!

Life moves on and so do we....!!!!!!!

The thing is that these four years have bestowed me, millions of memories to cherish for my life...I feel miraculously lucky to having got those(Sometimes I sit down and wonder what made me so fortunate..!!!!!!!)...An era(14th July 2006 to 13th June 2010.....) comes to an end....

All the best buddies...!!!!!! May each one of you reach the pinnacle and reach your goal one day...!!!!!!!

MUM's THE WORLD.....

Thnxxxxxx MUM......

Today I juz want yu to know dat i am very much fortunate to have yu mum...I LOVE YOU.....!!!!!!!(I can surely say this is wat we call LOVE!!!!!!!)

Today morning i began receiving some other than normal messages

I can hardly fuhget the thing wen i didn't turn up at home for almost 12 hours...cuz' playing kept me so very engrossed n you came chasing down at me with a long stick in the hand..(i miss dat too MUM!!!!!!!)

For all the stubborness in me you had the heart to bear it....Today,watever I am, no doubt is all because of you....!!!!!!(i am falling short of words MUM...!!!!!)

And Mum whatever i'll do to pay your debt,will be a mere tiny speck in d ocean of love dat yu've provided me....!!!!

I LOVE YOU...!!!!!!!!

THE DARK HORSES.......

Heyyyy Friends....this is something that I had to post long back but wasn't able...Anyways,This was when we won 2nd place in the most elite KAWRE Inter Engineering Collegiate Cricket Tournament(Much deserved win...!!!!!!!!!!)

Friends,being in the final year of our Engg,we all were so hell-bent doing some real hardwork on the field...and seriously it was fruitful.....

As we don't have a proper ground to practice(the empty patch where the temporary parking

resides,VIIT LORDS as we call it, would shame any International ground tho'...hehe...cuz' there is more possibility of injuries than proper cricket practice...),still we were fortunate enough to get Shinde college's nets for practicing,duration-2 hrs,money-7 thousands/month(luckily we got it for a month.thnxxx to our College)....

I still vividly remember,earlier only five to six team members turned up....everyone was so very frustrated....it kept on happening for some days....and then ADI(Super Adi),one of my teammates(needless to say a very good player),penned down a beautiful poem,that had loads of sarcasm in it...thoughtful poem it was !!!!

It really helped wake our conscience,I swear ..!!!!!(Facebook helped...) And then it was PARRY

(parikshit),the another fabulous player of our team,who slaughtered us like hell(everyone deserved it...no complaints)...I am very thankful that he scolded us that very moment..Had it not been for him,we would have been somewhere else(at least I would have been!!!!!).....

Thereafter,everyone was back,with full zeal,enthusiasm and a passion for the very trophy(Kawre trophy was our College team's dream..n ths was d 8th year...)...Mistakes were realised...we really put in our heart and soul for this trophy....injured shins,cramped legs,blue-black swollen fingers, didn't really affect us...(plenty of relisprays and doctor's tapes helped....)We were determined for that one trophy(we had a dream in our minds that we kept watching with open eyes)...We even practiced at Government Polytechnic College Pune for some days(afternoon 2pm to 5.30pm...scorching sun's heat couldn't fade away our enthusiasm...400 Rs per day,we all contributed...very few know this....)

'THE DARK HORSES' we were..!!!!! 'It was all posssible due to a good team effort...and we seriously stole the Runner up trophy from others....!!!!!!!

I won't say we lost the finals...cuz' we actually won a trophy for VIIT(dream came true 4 all of

us...)...thanxxxx to the effort of my team,VIIT CRICKET TEAM.....!!!!!!!!!

Love you all guys,......we did it..!!!!!!!!!

Phew....Teaching's tough !!!!!

Hello friends....So buddies i am back with an experience that left me dazed for a while...

Me and some of my friends(7 of us) had participated in an event called "Students' Awareness Programme '09" organised by IEEE....Through which, we gotto teach some concepts to the rural as well as urban part of the city(grade 9th and 10th)...i know we are bad learners but still all decided to try ourselves at teaching stuff(funny,isn't it..???!!!!!!)

We made them all acquianted with the topics like "Hybrid vehicles" and" Communication"(sounds pretty tough though,right??? it surely was..!!!!!)....Needless to say,the urban students had an upper hand regarding some stuff....But guys this gap really needs to bridge up if we wish to be so called "Superpower nation"....Anyways this is not exactly why Iam here???

While we were on our way,searching for the school to let ourselves share something with them,we came across the 'eagerness' and 'hungry to learn' behaviour of the people...They were all ears to us...And then when me and my friend Ajinkya were enjoying beautiful curvy ride to a place called Sambhave,we came across a school....Students had been back to their homes,but we managed talking to one of their teachers...He felt so very sorry that it was our last day and that he and his students had really missed something very useful....He still insisted us to visit his remote place,where students really need such aid regarding education...The dedication of that teacher could really have shamed any of the professionals around...The teacher was so hell bent explaining things to us that we both were awestruck(for a moment we had really forgotten that we were there for a competition!!!!!)...The efforts taken by teachers like him are simply amazing...

I don't want to debate nor want to sound like a competitor in an extempore kinda thing...But what bugs me is, are we really heading towards progress???? surely yes,but at what cost???? The fact that the condition in the outskirts of our very own Pune is this worse then we can hardly imagine what the outside scenario is...!!!!!

I do believe that man is a social animal and so we all have a role to play for our society....And I genuinely know,there's no point voicing one's opinion like this than to really do something constructive....

Some incidents do strike you so much that we end up thinking like this...And I am not an exception to it...Just felt like sharing it...Else its on you friends...!!!!!!!!
