Placement time..

Well, I've been in college life since 5 years now and i can confidently say placement time is the most gruelling one.. Companies visit one by one to hire people.. The most reputed companies take only a few students, maybe only 2 or 3.. And thats the time confidences falter, gloom sets in minds, people starts walking with high hopes from themselves and slowly turn diffident.. Test went well, interviews went well, interviewer was impressed.. but yet, no job in hand gets very frustrating..
I've seen the ecstacy of people getting a well-paying jobs and seen the sadness in the eyes of those who were ousted.. and that too simultaneously.. I've seen people trying to show they are happy for their friend but yet somehow feels why not me? I've seen people criticising others for no reason.. But then i've also seen people genuinely feeling happy for frens and helping them as they move forward.. I've seen people consoling others to compose back.. I've seen so many emotions in just past week, i somehow feel it was like a movie..

Now, on a happier note, i have been offered job in symantec, pune in R&D.. The interview went on and on till 4 am today in the morning, by which time i was just happy to end the procedure, selection was just outta my mind.. I woke up at 7 am to get ready for another interview in another company,just in case i din get into symantec.. so now i am happily placed with a well-paying offer and a good job profile :)
( that was the reason for my absence from blogosphere in the last week.. i'll be visiting ur blogs again after i take a loooong nap now... :) )

Happy independence day to all.. i

There are so many childhood memories attached to independence day.. There was so much of excitement at my home.. me n my brothers were up at 6 a.m. ( and which was not usual on an holiday :D) but that independenc day is always special.. for us its importance was not in terms of independence, it was because of kites..
A day before we were taken to a kite shop and were allowed to pick up 50 kites of any design n colour.. ( and mind you 50 were such a small number).. While we selected kites, my father would check out manja..Its the string with which kites are tied and the sharper, the better.. And whole night we'll attach white strings to kites.. which was not an easy task.. all strings should be of proper length otherwise kite wont fly properly.. it could sometimes go round n round in air, which was difficult to manage..
Next day, we were almost up alongwith the crack of dawn, which was a rare sight ;).. I was mostly given the task of holding kite at some distance and give it the initial upward thrust.. then i wd hold the charkhi and let my brother fly the kite.. He would usually hand it over to me for sometime, when there were no other kites surrounding ours..
And the real excitement was not in flying kites but in "pech ladana".. The long strings tangle up with a nearby kite, it is usually done deliberately.. now which ever person's strings snap was boo-ed by every one.. :) that was the fun part.. not only the winning person did that, but all the people who are flying their own kites would join in with whistles.. :)
Also we used to keep a long bamboo stick handy, in case a snapped kite cut from somewhere else moves over our roof.. it was duly caught and brought down.. Mostly, we used to fly around 100 kites that day.. and the hardest time was endured by our mom, who'd always be calling us down to have breakfast and lunch.. :)
This time around i am at my hostel and not at my home.. and my brother called me to say he is missing me cos there is no one to hold the charkhi.. :( i am missing kites now..

living like this

Everything keeps moving here..
Everyone does something
thinking about their own lives
in their own shell

own interest is supreme
they come to me
say nice things
take away something

fooled me into thinking
they are my friends
and i should do anything for them
and i was happy to have them

One day i needed them too
they were busy in their own lives
why should they bother about my problem
they had much more important things to do

I was left alone in between
bewildered, what happened?
did something went wrong?
how will i ever know?

Life is an illusion i understood
nothing is what it seems to be
only a few genuine peices are there
and treasure them while u can

Thats all i learned from this
emotional turmoil i endured
made myself strong
Knew what life is all about in this damn world

This was a phase in my life.. around 2 yrs back.. now i have a few very good frens whom i know wont desert me in my distressed times.. but back then i was very lonely

Thats me :)

Thats me clicking my own pic :D

The photo tag..

Well, i have seen this photo tag doing rounds on many blogs.. so here am I.. tagged by none but still taking it up :D

Here goes many things most people dont know about me...

1. My Childhood dream..
I always thought of opening an art n crafts school.. right now i'm into totally different field, which has got nothing to do with crafts stuff :(

2. My future plans..
I Plan to adopt a baby some day :) There are so many children who dont get a decent enough life.. adopting a child brings difference to atleast one life.. i just hope i will become a gud mother :D Though i understand my husband might not be ready for this.. Not many people can accept someone else in their lives so easily.. Still i hope i can atleast help some kids in their education and upbringing..

3. Meditation
I am not too good in meditating and um trying to improve.. Since many things are revolving in my head, i cant maintain that silence ( in my mind ) for too long.. whenever i sit to meditate my mind wanders so much that i dun even come close to the act of meditating..

4. My weakness
I cry so easily.. its not that i'm not strong, but tears come naturally in my eyes and a lot for that matter.. i cry even while watching a movie, when no one else is crying :)

5. My best time-pass

I am a voracious reader and can (almost) read any book under the sun.. and maybe one day i'll have a personal library of my own :)

6. something i did today

anyways i better be going to sleep now.. i cant even type now!!!

Perspectives...

Today, i was talkin to a fren of mine and topic of discussion was universe.. :) Tthe universe is thought to be a space-time continuum in which all matter and energy exist. It is finite or infinite, no one knows.. Even this is not sure that the universe is a part of a system of many other universes, (multiverse).

Cosmic inflation removes vast parts of the total universe from our observable horizon, So it is probably impossible to observe the whole continuum. The part of the universe that can be seen or otherwise observed is usually called the known universe, observable universe, or visible universe. Research articles in cosmology often use the term "universe" when they really mean "observable universe". This is because unobservable physical phenomena are scientifically irrelevant. And so there is no agreement over wether universe is finite or not.

Think about it, We are no where near knowing where do we really exist? We all are so absorbed in our periphery that we dont even bother to look what lies beyond?

Now do u agree that there could be some micro organisms which will never come before our eyes.. suppose they live in a small place, say a sand dune in a remote area.. For them that is there world, would they think of something lying beyond there reach? And now consider we r in same position.. this universe is nothing but a ball in the hands of some giant kid and we r those tiny miny micro organisms..

Well i know this is sooo absurd thought, but when i was a kid and was introduced to this chapter called "The universe", i usually thought of all of us in this way.. :) i was an imaginative kid you see.. btw before i start going into my other equally imaginative stories, get back to track..

So we were discussing universe, where this world, this earth and our very own existence is just a small issue..
after i put down the phone, my maid came to me and asked me- "didiji, Its soo hot, Only god knows why isnt it raining this year?".. I told her its already raining in some parts of India and monsoon will hit our city soon.. "But the rain is happening in India, and we are in delhi. How are they connected?". And when i said "Delhi is the capital of India.. Its an integral part of the country.", She didnot believe me at once.. She lives in Delhi but she doesnt live in india !!!

So that was my free fall from The Universe to an ignorant mind..
