Rush before the placement hour !

           “Did you check with your mail?” This is how things start. The word e-mail, which at times is really good to listen to, but now it was the one regulating our heartbeats. The fluctuations were such that at times, things kept happening and we stood there wondering how, what and when would the things start happening. With so many thoughts cluttered in the mind, there started an internal debate where thoughts started contradicting each other. This debate seemed to be a good exercise for the brain, at least there was a confirmation that the mind was able to answer all the contradictions which had created clusters in the mind. Each cluster behaved as a dot, each of the separated by a ‘line of confusion’.
          
          Whenever there was a feeling regarding a particular cluster of thoughts were right, there sprung a question. What was wrong with others? Well, initially I couldn’t find an answer to it. The time kept ticking and I was still searching for answers. I kept asking people, but the problem wasn’t restricted to asking, but what would people think if I start telling things to them that were running in my mind. Am I thinking too much? Do I deserve a placement? Am I capable? ……..



          “Dude, whom are you dreaming about? What made you go silent suddenly?” said one of my friends interrupting the flow of thoughts that had created a black hole in my mind that had started sucking my confidence. During the thought process, I figured out a solution to my problem. There was nothing on the offer outside where I had been searching for answers. I just had to stay calm for a while and focus on what I was supposed to do rather than focusing on the result. I tried taking a break for a while, moved out into fresh air and started joining the dots that were creating curfew in my mind. Things seemed to be pretty simple. I had realized that, it was me who was overthinking which made things look more difficult. The best solution that I figured out was to keep things simple, pack the worries in the suitcase and send them for a world tour for a month, you will get what you deserve. There’s no rocket science needed. At times you will be surrounded with people stuffed with nervousness, who keep studying inspite of knowing everything and start asking doubts to people around. I would personally suggest to keep calm and stay away from unnecessary tensions.



          At the end of the month when the first phase of placements was done, I realized that the above funda works really well. Being able to improvise and staying patient whenever required should seal the deal for you.

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
