It's all a matter of Perspective

A cloud of dust, obstacles the horizon Seeded with ponderous mist of pessimism Wrenches of anxieties and incertitudes Isn’t it too premature to hinder and succumb? Morning is the cogent part of day Though sometimes best thing comes At noon or what we call the mid-day But most would cede and resign Isn’t it too premature to hinder and succumb? At dusk, you’re discontented and flung Hope withers and will resort to self-pity  Weep, crawl and drag yourself down Drown yourself and dwell in impassiveness Isn’t it too premature to hinder and succumb? A day may pass and the sun won’t shine But a week has seven days, thirty in a month  There is “One Day” for you; it’s all in its time Enough of the hamminesses, be swarming and get out One day it will come, sit tight and wait for your turn!! “There is a sort of enthusiasm in all projectors, absolutely necessary for their affairs, which makes them proof against the...

Cartoons…!! What do most of the children watch on the television? Children like to watch cartoons even before they start to speak! Do you know why? I think because of the funny and different figures of animals and humans which they have pictured in various forms.  Cartoons as well give a social message to people in the form of a fun filled art!! They might also provoke an idea by using fun faces. This helps you to become futuristic and optimistic as well.  They come in all shapes, sizes, colors and attitude. Every cartoon we watch has a learning and a few lessons for life.  They are without doubt the most entertaining aspect of childhood.  As the time passed by, the ability to make use of common sense in humans (most of them) is reduced to a great extent. Common sense is no more common. We seldom see people using it. Donald Duck a famous Disney character sums this up very well in one of the cartoon shows as: "I have to stop saying 'How stupid ...

"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 ...

            It was just a matter of time. The birds seemed to be desperate to reach their destination and so did we. In the meanwhile, the dim twilight started fading and it was dull and gloomy around in a short span of time. Our destination was almost 130 kilometers away. The traffic and unknown roads made sure it took us at least five hours to reach our destination. As time passed, all of us started feeling drowsy, as there was darkness all around and nothing interesting to watch out for. All the cell phones had drained their batteries and the only source of light we had was the one coming from the vehicles passing by. Most of us fell asleep as our destination was still too far. As the time progressed there seemed to be increased silence as well. The only sound that could be heard was of our car. The increased silence in the surroundings, for a moment, scared us . We had no clue of the type of road that was ahead of us and it gave an impres...

Let me begin like this..!! For instance, Life has NO meaning!!! This  doesn't  mean that  I'm  telling you to jump off the nearest bridge though; instead I mean it a much more contemplative way. We have the power to alter our perceptions, revising perceptions that bring us down and enhancing those that help us. Our outlook on life is deeply entwined in our prosperity for success. Success is doing what we love and being happy about it. To learn how to get a better handle on our perceptions, emotions and behaviour, it is useful to look at how we think. To forge a new attitude towards the events and relationships in our life, we must learn to look at them with fresh perspective. We generally like to think we are in charge of our actions. Society has a stake in us believing that, or there would be no way to justify restraining and punishing people with anti-social behaviours. Nevertheless, we know that some of the things we do are not controlled c...

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...
