my first gdpi..

I went for my group discussion and personal interview. It was my first experience of the same. I was confident till the last evening but since night could feel the butterflies in my stomach.
We gad to reach the college early in the morning, which meant, i should sleep early and wake up early.
But whole night, I could not sleep properly. I was getting up every next hour and looking at the time..!
Finally the time came when I had to get ready.
My parents accompanied me. We took the auto and at a particular place, waited for the college bus. This bus had to take us to the respective college.
I bought a newspaper at the bus stop so that i could check the headlines.( i was advised to do so..)
Finally the bus started. I didn’t want to eat anything but than i had tea and ate my breakfast in bus just because i wanted to sound louder in gd.
We reached the college and we were asked to sign an attendance page. I could not find my form number on the page(and suddenly I realized, my name was not on net but i just had the hard copy), but than someone advised me to check the front page(which i missed in a hurry..) and there i signed against my form number.
We entered the college...Parents were directed to the other side... And students towards the seminar hall.
I reached the seminar hall and entered confidently. I knew i was looking smart. :)
I occupied my seat..whereas round i could see many students who were present there to give me competition..!
I went to the washroom twice..And checked the mirror with smile and looked more confident and nice.. BUT these butterflies were disturbing me every now and than.
Suddenly, many final year students gathered in the hall to start the whole process.
I was a little shocked because there was no teacher present around but then presence of only students made me feel comfortable.
Opposite to my expectations, they started distributing sheets to us to write an essay.. And we were given a long topic.. (INDIA'S ANSWER TO OBAMA? WHO WILL BE THE OBAMA FOR INDIA,WHO WILL MARCH THE COUNTRY FORWARD)
We were given good 15 minutes, which were more than enough for me because i had nothing much to write.!
They gave us 10 minutes as break to have team or something and i could only think of loo :)
I was back and everyone else was too..
They started calling our names according to the group and panel number assigned to us.
They called a sardar first..i saw him..And a thought rushed into my mind .."He must be a good speaker. Who wont let anyone speak..God help his group mates.."
And suddenly i heard "RIKI!"
I though ohh! And smiled within..for being in the same group as him.
And we formed a group of 11 students. We all were passing smiles to each other, as if saying hi's and good luck'
and a girl in front of me asked ..'are you nervous?'..and i replied’ a bit'..she told me but i was really looking nervous!
We entered he room where a panel of two teachers was there to judge us.
We were given some important guidelines before starting a gd..and I can only remember " don’t let it become a fish market"
Our topic was "LIFE IS MIRROR"
someone started..Someone justified..i also entered the gd(with my hands shivering with nervousness) but i spoke okay..
Points were getting repeated..and i could think of no new dimension(which i realized at home..!)
The students who didn’t participated much in it, they were given extra opportunity..Like to conclude, summarize, add..etc.. so overall everyone spoke almost equally.
I was happy that sardar stud equal with all..
After 15 minutes..we were sent back to seminar hall..
While going upstairs, we all started talking..and asking "how was it..how was it".
No one was satisfied with the gd..but than no one could do anything.
In the seminar hall..seniors stared answering our queries..like placements, number of seats, fees, laptops, hostel, gym, beauty parlor!
and simultaneously, they were assigning group for pi.
A group having 5-6 students was sent for pi..and i was the part of this first group.(we were told, after pi gets over..we can return beck to our homes)
We went downstairs and waited outside the room.
to be continued..

When i was walking alone,i wished that i reach the end of the road. But when friends like you joined me, i wished the road never ends..

I am on my way to reach a lovely destination. I am being optimistic about my life..This is due to the very fact that good people around me have got that trust in me. They have given me that great confidence and have made me think positive all the time. They have supported me like anything.

I dont know what the future holds..but i simply believe that it will be all good. I didnt get good results but still afew believe that i'll get what i want.

'mumma'

This Earth was the same..sun was the same..life was moving ahead when i took a break..
i was pretty unsure about the future..i was fearing the every next day..and then i realized someone was with me..totally good..'pari'..mumma..
She talked to me,listened to me,encouraged me,loved me..
she was there when i needed her the most..her cherubic presence always made my day..
Having the breakfast together,reading the newspaper..
Everytime i used to ask her to talk to me,to sit with me..and she would leave all the work just to listen to me..
She was always there to hug me..and make me feel relaxed,to allay my pains..she made me smile everytime i was sad..
She trusted me..gave me whatever i asked for..she made me realize that i am beautiful..she gave me those beautiful tips 'do this do that'..
She ate those 'shapeless chapatis' made by me..and always encouraged me to do things in a better way..she beared with my irritating behaviour,always staying cool and calm..she always made be believe that i should work hard to get whatever i want..
She was purely honest and sweet..she accepted me as i am..she accepted my life beyond family..
She oiled my hairs and combed them whenever i felt like lazy..
She always cared for my pimply face..and kept suggesting 'how can i takecare of my health'
She has a beautiful heart and a pure soul..
While looking after us..she never thought of herself..
This is not enough of the writing..i am true fan of hers..
Just her smile and i feel like being at the top of the world..She is simply the best..yes, the best..mumma..
I wish i could be as good as she is..wish i could do something for her too..
I'll make sure that she is happy..

WE CAN MAKE OUR LIFE EASIER WITH A LITTLE CHANGE IN OUR PERSPECTIVE :)

Everyone thinks of changing the world

but no one thinks of changing himself.

It is not that i am all positive or not practical enough but it is just that i feel it is good to havemore than one view to look at things. Think of a three dimensional cube,we all know how to draw it but the one who look at it can see it in more than one way. In the same way if we look at small things in life in a positive way we can avoid small tensions. It is always good to be flexible. This certainly makes your life easier.
Here i am writing no new thing but a better view to the most common things we hear around.
A few of opinions ihave formed with my own experiences and the others,people around me made me realize that we can look at it in this way too.

1. IT OFTEN HAPPENS PEOPLE PROMISE US TO MEET ON A PARTICULAR DAY AND THEY FAIL TO DO SO AND THE WORST THING IS,THEY DON'T EVEN INFORM US.
we feel betrayed and we stop trusting that person. If we are very sensitive we feel really bad and most of the time keep it in our heart.
BUT if he or she is a friend,we can always think it in this way..' may he had a strong reason..and he didn't even informed..some really important thing must be there and we'll clarify it when we talk next'

2. WE OFTEN FEEL ALL PEOPLE AROUND ARE SELFISH , PARICULARY WHEN REACH AT HIGHER LEVELS IN LIFE( higher studies or jobs).
BUT all people can never be bad...how can God leave such a nice person like you surronded ny all bad people. If you are good,it becomes obvious few others will be good too..

3. WHEN A GOOD PHASE OF LIFE GETS OVER(such as a college life). IT IS GOOD TO MISS THOSE DAYS BUT ALWAYS HOPE FOR THE BETTER ONES. DONT GET HOOKED UP TO THOSE DAYS.
BUT do not cry because it is over but smile because it happened.

4.WHEN PEOPLE PART FROM EACH OTHER,THEY GET AN EGO. THAT WHO CALLS FIRST.YOU MISS OTHERS BUT YOU ALWAYS KEEP WAITNIG FOR THEIR CALL FIRST AND IF THEY DON'Y,YOU FEEL BAD.
BUT there should not be any ego guys. If you want to call,don't hesitate. Call the person. He may have that too..but you can always correct YOURSELF atleast!

5.PEOPLE OFTEN FEEL LIFE IS FULL OF PAINS(if not you..but i am sure you must have heard it many times from others)
BUT life is all about facing challenges not pains actually! Love life.

6.DO NOT BE FRIENDS WITH HIM/HER. YOU CANT TRUST HIM/HER.
BUT trust is always required if you get into any relation. You would not get hurt even if you put that trust willingly. Either trust him/her or never give name to that realtion( specially friends).
You can not say,he is a friend but i cant trust him.!

7.WHEN PEOPLE GET DEPRESSED AND SOUND SAD MOST OF THE TIMES,WE OFTEN FEEL 'YE TO AISA HI HAI..PARESHAN AATMA..NO USE TALKING TO HIM'
BUT if he is a friend..you can say that ways. you must know the reasond for his actions. Yoy cant leaving him saying 'ye to aisa hi hai'. Think after imagining yourself at his place and then you'll get better reasons. Instead of blaming him,you'll understand him and that makes feel good.

8.PEOPLE OFTEN FEEL LONELY.
BUT when you feel alone,you get an opportunity to know yourself, you get to spend time with yourself which is so difficult in the busy life.
MOREOVER you can never be alone..your close ones are always there. And when you feel their absence..come in light..look at your shadow..it is always their( avoid to stay in dark,when you feel low).

9. IT IS NOT ALWAYS THAT ONE THING IS RIGHT AND THE OTHER IS WRONG.
BUT the two or more than two things can be right too..we talk what we have experienced,others might have got a different experience.

hope these things could be of some help..you can share your personal experiences too..when you changed your perspective and started looking at things with a view better than others..

A PESSIMIST COMPLAINS ABOUT THE WIND;

AN OPTIMIST EXPECTS IT TO CHANGE;

THE REALIST ADJUSTS THE SAILS.

BREAKING NEWS

When i heard the news about the blasts at the crowdy Sarojini market in 2005( it was my birthday, and i was busy in my own celebrations),i took it as 'just another breaking news'.
Probably i was not mature enough to feel the pain of those who suffered. The very next day..i heard "we are strong enough and it wouldn't bring any change in the life and spirit oof the city" and this statement in the news channels actually made me feel good..( i do not know why..may be because i felt proud to be a delhiite,strong and full of life..!!)
And then the blasts in other major cities ..Ahmedabad,Bangalore,Gujarat and then 2008..DELHI again..( i wrote it in capital letters because being a capital..the city deserves this atleast.)..in the CP(also known as the heart of the city). This news certainly left us blank..not only i,but everyone was so worried( anyone could be here..you,your relatives..anyone..the most common place for a hangout). We just prayed prayed and prayed..we called every known person..
THEY planted a bomb even in the central park..i mean how could they..here people come to enjoy peace..crowd is young..here most couples come to spend time together..many of them come here even without informing their families..what about them..blasts in the capital in the most crowdy places..AND THESE LOOSERS ACTUALLY FEEL PROUD OF IT AND TAKE THE RESPONSIBILTY THE VERY NEXT DAY..I MEAN WHY..!!??
People are already tensed in their lives.They already have enough of problems..natural calamities,diseases,accidents..(killing for revenge or something).We already have a lot many ways to die and now these BOMB BLASTS..from nowhere you get killed or loose a body part or get some mental affect.
Though city shows"we dont get affected through all this"..This may be true,but what about them who suffer actually..
When i thought THESE LOOSERS will take a break..i heard another BREAKING NEWS.."BLAST IN MEHARAULI"..I mean WHAT!!?? They just came on their bike,left a packet and ran..SUCH AN OPEN ACT OF CRIME and the little boy who touched that packet..we all know what happened to him..
Sometime before also these things were happnening,but now they occur on a daily basis. Either a bomb is discovered and diffused safely or people die for no reason.

TO CONVINCE A SMOKER, NOT TO SMOKE

TO CONVINCE A DRINKER, NOT TO DRINK

TO CONVINCE A NON-VEGETARIAN TO TURN VEGETARIAN

AND THE WORST..

TO CONVINCE A BOMBER NOT TO BLAST..

They have their own reasons to argue..and continue..

Few things have become impossible or life taking tasks..I AM HATING IT.

poor THEY who had an arrange marriage..(dowry based!!)

The families meet ,

THEY are made to greet ,

THEY are asked to smile ,

stay fake for a while ,

to impress him or her,

gamble with eachother.

THEY are made to talk ,

or go for a short walk..

In worst cases, they can just sit and see ,

predict and wait for whats going to be..

THEY often talk little ,

and interrupted in middle.

The main issue arises..

the Dowry(an EVIL) thing sizes..

"what will you give

if the deal is fixed?"

The answer they get ,

ask for an extra VAT ;

something like car or furniture

or a bike and a television.

And the meeting gets over

and yes THEY still don't know each other.

They all get back to home,relax and think

from both the sides a survey begins..

"Are the families good enough"

"Is the guy earning well"

and the girl," is she pretty enough and a literate"

afterall who'll look after the kids..!

and the week gets over..

They get in touch again after thinking over

Decision is made

next month,the engagement is set;

the main issue comes again,"thoda len den ki baat karlen?"

and THOSE poor two

still wondering with whom they are getting married to..

the marriage date comes..and finally the marriage is done.

No time THEY got for bonding and understanding;

and above it the kids and their handling..!

THEY fight, THEY adjust, THEY live and laugh..

everything occurs BUT where is the love and understanding?

THEY just fullfill their duties pending..

THEIR poor kids see it all and think

why the hell their parents married..

Everyone stays happy and satisfied

EXCEPT the poor THEY who had an arrange marriage..
