Electronics and Communication; wow, this is something for which I always longed for, finally I am into this stream after two years of constant hard work, sometimes merit and sometimes money plays an important role. Man, my dad wanted me to be an Electronics engineer and here I am dad made engineer J is something common you get to hear from the youngsters.
Not all of them would have an inclination towards technology, may be out of some pressure of constrains they might have opted to be an engineer and I am one such. Fortunately, I am completely not an engineer, but yes a smaller version to it. I could never understand the flow of electrons. Being a last bencher, fortunately I had an opportunity to sit beside the window and observe the beauty of nature. Also sometimes, I had a chance to understand the law of nature:)
An old college with large space is always an added advantage to a last bench student like me especially ,if the campus is a vast greenery filled open space with a couple of stone benches which helps the civil stream students to perform a better survey of girls sitting on the benches flaunting around.J
Lecturers came in, delivered their usual lectures on various subjects, while I sat looking outside at the chirping birds, the dogs who wandered carelessly and sometimes at the rain that poured heavily with no control and the puddle that formed after the heavy shower. The green leaves and the droplets on them amused me. They had no restrictions, no boundaries or never did they wait for somebody’s command to do what they wanted to do it. “The nature is so amazing and it has no end”, was a remark made by my buddy during college days while I jumped on the puddle making him dirty. He never felt bad instead; he always smiled at me wiping away the dirt I made while I giggled with joy while I asked, “Hey, don’t you feel bad for what I do?”
We never found an answer, but the joy of playing in rain always remained and the debris got cleared on its own.
Those moments has become a part of my life and has remained as fresh as a new born baby who rejoices after coming out of his mom’s warm womb to her delicate hands. This makes me nostalgic and sad at times. When I sit back and think, “Where did all the fun and joy disappear?”
“Was it us who had that fun, or is it someone in disguise?”
“What is that which is keeping us away from all the little happiness and joy we had and shared with our friends?”
Guess, they were really the golden days of life, had I been a magician, I would have casted a magic spell to keep rewinding the joyous moments all the time. Guess, I lost the magic wand before I made any use of :):):) and guess God knew what I would have done with it.
While in school, I sat with my friends and classmates dreaming about the college, a day came when I completed my school and landed in a college where I sat thinking about job and work place, colleagues, opportunities, growth, name, fame, a luxurious life with huge perks etc.
Yes, the dream is now fulfilled but, I am caught in an endless loop of unanswered questions which always bothers me, finally gets dropped and sometimes lost in the midst of hectic engagements, assigned targets to be met; however, the question still keeps running constantly at the background.
Is getting into a job and making a livelihood, the most remarkable, significant and the most important chapter of life?
Is this what I dreamt about?
The answer would definitely be a “NO”. We all want to achieve name, reach fame, agreed but is it possible without any hassles? Does life change after we start being professionals?
While we dream about the NAME and FAME we completely forget the main ingredient of one’s life.
“PEACE”
Let’s all get into the imaginary world for a minute, “I have an offer letter in my hand with a seven digit pay cheque every month, person who hired us shall definitely pose a question, “Well, you are now selected and five years down the line where would you love to see yourself or what do you desire to have or be the most?” Ninety nine percent out of hundred would definitely say; Well, I want to be a manager, I want to own a car, have a home , my plans are different, not decided so on and so forth. How many of us have ever uttered a word “PEACEFUL LIFE” well, let’s forget uttering, that would become a little difficult for a person who has such a fat pay cheque in his hand, at least thinking about that word. Bet, no one does.
While in schools and college we had grading system, cursing it all the time and thinking there is nothing as such in office, why don’t we just start working was something which we all thought, but who knows that the grading systems in school is a heaven than the system that is followed at work place.
Differentiation/Under-estimating one's skills/Politics/Gossips are a few criteria on the marks sheet and people should satisfy all the criteria to grow. One should never forget that every individual has is incomparable with others. Why do we have to torture others and get a sadistic pleasure out of it?
There are many people whom we meet day in and day out spending most of their time in an AC accommodated multinational skyscrapers with less interaction to humans and more with the human made computers. There are technologies that have mesmerised humans and unfortunate is that we being humans completely give in to those technological gadgets even before an effort of realization of who is the creator.
We deal with people who are from various walks of life, all are unique, and everybody is different. At the end of the day, we should not only concentrate on having a luxurious Life, we should be sure of how to remain at “PEACE “without causing damage happiness of self and others.
Once you have a peaceful life, you would never want to have anything and that is the thirst one should always think of quenching.
“Dreams to touch the sky are always made at ground level” Keep dreaming and recollect your most joyous moments of life like the way you dirtied your friend but still had a smile on both of your faces.
"Live and Let Live" Make your life joyous every moment and spread joy everywhere :) Not at all times you get a chance to make someone’s life beautiful.Life is a short journey and we should learn to spread love and happiness as much as possible.
