remaining time 11 months...

seven months since last I typed here, a lot happenings, added joy, with few regrets too...
grown older, wiser (I consider). estimated remaining time 11 months at ma insti. within the last 3 years stay at ma insti, though I disliked lot of things, liked a few, though a lot tried to distract me, a few tried to remind me the DOs and DON'Ts. Thanks to everyone for causing these days to be remembered, in any way.
failing to direct the wind, and adjusting the sails, reached this far. hope to be able to adjust the sails to push off ma boat far ahead from this race, the race to survive on this planet.

right vs wrong

I would like to thank a gal, unknowingly who asked me to write again...
I've been through these web designing, blogging, etc for a long time. many times when I see anything creative I appreciate, get inspired but I've never tried to copy anything, always tried to make a difference and I also express ma gratitude to those buddies.

in these fields often I also fall down, but never lost ma hope. people always tried to pull ma leg, tried to dissappoint, tried to hurt me. but honestly saying I thank them for enabling me to stand alone, to go ahead, and for making me aware of all these difficulties. onething I've learnt from this long race; to ignore those stupid fellows and go ahead...

people always opt for the easiest way, and copy others. but they should remember that you need to be original, you need to obey few ethics, you need to thank them from whom you've learnt anything for your prosperity.

it seems these terms, 'right' & 'wrong' are relative. few don't ever hesitate to copy, I think they love to. I remember the 'parasites', and those who make them survive in this planet. copiers are nothing more than those.

but its true that definitely creators / beginners will be ahead, no matter what others say, no matter what others do.
anyway 'm back again to maintain ma blog with hot happenings!!!

see ya soon

'Blogs are cool'

this is not my line, but I do agree full heartedly.

in my busy schedule I'm not getting enough time to tinker around to write a blog. but today when I checked my mail I got someone's reply which made me write in this late hours of night.

some days before when I was searching for a book review, I came across Kevin & Amy's blog. two strangers whose daughter made me fall in love with her activities from the other corner of this planet.

here's a pic of Meredith, the cute little kid who made me fall...

I loved to read the post on her toddler days in Kevin & Amy's blog. she is grooowing up!!! 'm sure you'll also love to read 'bout her.

Kevin's comment on blogs made me think how small this planet is...

'Blogs make the world smaller. Blogs bring people together. Blogs enrich life'

she is right. or else this mere reply wouldn't have made me so happy!!!
I thank 'Google', for making this planet smaller...

first RAIN drops added essence...

the first RA!N drops of this session kissed the earth...

though the traditional notion of rain in the western world is negative, rain can also bring joy, as some consider it to be soothing or enjoy the aesthetic appeal of it. in dry places, such as parts of Africa, India, and the Middle East, rain is greeted with euphoria.

I find the scent during and immediately after rain especially pleasant or distinctive. The source of this scent is petrichor, an oil produced by plants, then absorbed by rocks and soil, and later released into the air during rainfall.

exam (internal) is over today. when we were out of the hostel it started raining. we're wet in the first rain of this session. other people whose classes were over were running towards their hostels.

everyone runs in rain as if they have some important work and they're afraid of being wet, but I think this is only one excuse to be wet. I'm also not an exception, in my school days I also have missed my raincoat at home knowingly and I've came home wet after the school many times...

do me a favor, let's play HOLI...

4th March was HOL!, the festival of colors. HOL! is the festival that carries the country into the bright days of summer. A feeling of plenty is in the air with the crops cut, and the farmer enjoying a bountiful of harvest. 'HOL!' falls on the full moon, in the month of Phalgun. a time when spring is in the air. the March winds comes in and winter begins to bow out.

we had a lot of fun in our insti campus. then went to a nearby waterfall 'Gondahathi'.

enjoyed a lot...

I love to listen the music track, 'Do me a favor, Let's play HOL!'

wished all near & dears a colorful HOL! but as usual got about 1/3rd reply. this happens with me always. no regrets...

some friends came and pulled me out of my room, painted me with various colors. then we roamed around the campus. the idea was actually Mishra's to have trip to Gondahathi, then I arranged vehicles and went on the trip to have a bath. at about 4 o'clock we people came back to insti. back to our predefined schedule...

had classes on 5th. had to be prepared for the labs / classes.

these celebrations although not optimum, add flavours to our life in this island...

these add zest to the race of life...

Let the diverse colors of this festival make us realize that they sprang from one as you & I...

learnt a lot / had some nice days, bad too!!!

for last few days I was busy with coordination of a national level seminar on "Technology for Sustainable Utilisation of Natural Resources". The seminar was held on 24th- 25th Feb in our insti.
gained a lot more experience of working together, got some new friends, got a chance to interact with the outer world, achieved success and had some bad experience too...
after all, lived for some days in this dead valley. loved the crowd, got inspired, got enlightened...
on 21st after getting a call from DKM, I asked some of my close friends to extend their hands, and they did. then the endeavour started. lots of work were pending, we had to do a lot. worked day and night for three whole days to make this a success. beginning from the mail replys to hospitality, we people had to arrange / manage everything. all of our friends extended their helpful hands towards us to achieve success. without their support I don't think we would have been able to reach here.
at times, some of my friends from whom I expected a lot, tried to make me hopeless during the event. they pulled my leg. as a consequence they made me remember the lines of Pablo Picasso:

"I am always doing the the things I can't do, that's how I get to do them"

they made me strong, I won't ever forget their contribution towards my strength. I thank them once again for enabling me to stand alone.

How long the night may be, dawn will break...
enjoyed a lot and again back to push off our usual schedule.
got some bad news during these days but thank God I didn't had time to grumble for...
sometimes I feel alone inside the crowd!!!

In the midst of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer

no classes... full of freedom!!!

no classes for last four days. was at home. met Lucky (the best pal to chat with) after many days. had a lot of talk with him.
got a pic of Maggie from a friend...

it would have been better if there were no classes, no compulsion, no boundaries...
anyway these are, and I've to be here, searching for new ideas of mischief...
