A Packaged Birthday

By -

14th August, 2015 as expected started off with a surprise call. It was midnight and I was in need of a good sleep, so I switched off my cell phone on the night of 13th August. I knew people calling me at night would yell at me the next day, but that was alright because nothing can replace a peaceful sleep. In spite of me switching off my phone, I received a call and I was suddenly up when I realized that it was just a dream. This was my first virtual telepathic call.  When I was about to sleep again, my sister came and woke me up saying there was a call for me. This was the first real telephonic call I had received. It was my school friend ‘PAA’ (That’s what we call him).

            The call ended soon and now it was time to sleep again. I knew there were no more calls to disturb me, as hardly people had the other number. Soon it was early morning and I received a telephonic wakeup call from my grandma. After receiving the blessings from grandma and parents it was time to switch on my cell phone and get mentally prepared to listen to my friends. The moment I switched on my cell, it started ringing. 

            Birthday wishes started pouring in. The first surprise was the early morning cake. The cake was cut and few pics were taken. Enjoying the surprise, I forgot that it was getting late for college. Somehow I reached the bus stop in time and didn’t miss the bus. Things initially went on peacefully in college as I had to sit in class due to shortage of attendance.

            My classmates lag nowhere when it comes to creating moments. All of them greeted me with the birthday song. It was the first joyous moment in the college for the day. From then on wishes kept coming. The lunch break had another surprise for me. It was time to meet our faculty advisor, Sreekanth Sir. The birthday wishes from Sir and Vanita ma’am added glitters to the day.

            Things seemed to be peaceful till then. It was evening and time for all of us to leave. But wait, I received a call and was asked to wait for sometime. I met a few friends and then finally got a call asking me to come to the Idea room. The silence of the birthday had slowly turned into crazy fun filled violence. It was a matter of minutes after cutting the cake that most of us had cake on our faces making us feel the cakepack on us. Greetings, hugs and face wash brought an end to the small but exciting party of ours.



            It was getting late. Mom, aunty and sissy waiting for me to return home. Somehow I managed to reach home by 7’o clock. I entered the room to keep my bag as usual and suddenly out of nowhere few of my friends shouted ‘Happy Birthday.’ For a moment I was shocked or may be a little over surprised. I was speechless. Couldn’t speak for a while. That was the moment which will be ever remembered. The cake cutting, applying cake on face and the best part the final chocolate shower. OMG! I don’t know how, when and where the planning was done and how much difficult it was execute it, but one thing was for sure. It was FANTABULOUS!!! It was a short celebration but the sweetest one. In short it was a birthday package filled with surprises.

            Thank you everyone for the wishes without which the birthday would have been incomplete. Special thanks to our classmates for the lovely birthday song, team-ICC for the evening blast and last but not the least Kaavya, Sudarshan, Jasser and Nikhil for the surprise party at home. Hope you guys keep rocking and have a great future ahead.

ION Day- A joyous ride with great take aways !!

It started off in the early December’15 and went quiet for a while and then came as a blessing in the mid-January’16. When things seemed to have settled down, there was a surprise call which said, “You have been shortlisted for the interview.” For a moment I was awestruck and couldn’t respond to it, but then yeah, I had a feeling of something good was going to happen and it did. The short listing was on the PAN India basis and being among the few from all over the country is a great feeling in itself. ION T rading; that was the company we were going to give a shot at. The best part of it was that it was supposed to be held in Noida office and all the expenses of the students appearing for the interview would be borne by the company itself. Adding to that, it was a blessing in disguise for a person like me who loved travelling. After a week, our wait came to an end when we received the mail containing the details of the flight tickets and the hotel as well. A little bit

                    Diwali, which falls on the darkest new moon night of the month of Kartik in the Hindu calendar, celebrates light and knowledge that comes from inner cleansing. The festival is celebrated by people of various faiths, but for Hindus, Jains and Sikhs, it commemorates special events that symbolize the triumph of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.            Before Diwali, people clean or decorate their homes and workplaces.On Diwali night, they light oil lamps or candles in their homes and offer prayers, usually invoking Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth.            These practices have become ritualized over time, but they have deep spiritual significance, related to the renewal and rejuvenation of the human soul in its journey through time.            The cleaning done prior to Diwali is an expression of the cleansing that the soul needs to undergo in order to hold the wealth of wisdom and virtues that God grants

An idle mind is a devils workshop.

"An idle mind is a devils workshop,isn't it??"             This was back then. But as the time passes, interpretation of these quotes change as well. Let’s try to understand this considering the various stages of a human’s life starting from the childhood to adolescence and finally the old age.                                 No one actually knows what is going on in a kids mind. Moods can be easily understood but not the thought process. Even if the kid is sitting idle or there is a pause in the flow of thoughts, the idle mind can’t be turned into a devil’s workshop as the mind is still in the process of growth and it hardly knows anything about a devil or the evil stuff around. The only thing that their mind can do is give birth to the creative instincts and a whole new world of imagination. So, a kids brain no matter what, hardly gives any room for the devil to set up the workshop.                         Time flies and within the blink of an eye the
