Republic Day !!

“Republic day!”

The national festival which is celebrated throughout India irrespective of caste, religion or creed. On this day all of us are bound by a single feeling that is “the feeling of patriotism.” The feeling of patriotism is presented by different people in different ways. Some people try painting their face with the colors of Indian flag whereas some try out bikes rallies. It just doesn’t end here… A few people have a formal celebration by having a flag hoisting ceremony followed by the playing of the national anthem while a few enjoy it as a national holiday and the list goes on.

When I come across the national festival the first thought that strikes my mind is that are we really patriotic or it’s just a show off? It’s really worth giving a thought. Because if we really had that love for our country then we will be proud about our country each and every day and not just a couple of days which are celebrated as the national festival.



From my perspective the feeling of being Indian is not just limited to a few particular days or the times where there’s only progress, but the real patriotism is when a person starts treating his country as his home and not merely a country of stay. Just like a person starts feeling comfortable once he enters his home no matter how good or bad the time is, the same should be the feeling when the country is going through the hard times. I am sure once people start having the true spirit of patriotism, there will be no need to show off the feeling of love towards the country because these feelings will be understood by everyone and for sure will be relished.

Lastly I would like to conclude by saying “Unity is our strength in spite of all the diversities” and shall ever be. That needs no proof and so does our love for the country. There’s no doubt we should celebrate being a republican nation, but not at the cost of the pride of the nation. Let us hope for the best possible future for our country and strive towards making it a developed country from a developing country. 

Cheers and Happy Republic Day!!

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
