What Do You Do?

There are times when you are at a fork in life. You are unsure what path to take, which way would it be the right way. Do I have the strength to walk on it? Or should I follow what other's experience tells me? According to me, there is no such thing is choosing a path. Which means there was never that fork in the path. Most of the times, we all try to make things way too complex than what we can handle. So many times we are doing things the right way, and then suddenly, whoosh! There comes a wave that turns around everything! The sign board that read " right path towards your -> " suddenly turns around with this wind to now read "right path towards you <- ". What is this wind that makes us confuse with our own decisions? Its nothing but a brain trick. Actually, we always have a second chance to walk on the other path, until it's a question of life and death, which usually isn't! What i think is we must keep on walking on the path we were earlier walking on, and note down what other options we came across in life. And when everything is done and we have reached our destination, we can always analyse the other options and then decide if it would be viable and sensible to walk on that path back again. If heart and brain both speak the same words then go for it, otherwise go for what your heart speaks. Why heart and not brain? Because brain decides something for us only with a small *conditions apply. And that condition is you won't be able to have peace within. Just look back till now, and pen down the decisions you took from brain. Were they not hard to take? Were you a peace after taking it? Did you not rethink over a million times to do what brain said? But what heart does is removes this heavy feeling in chest. Once decision taken, it will never bless you with tensions. And another reason for listening o heart at this point is you have already achieved what you wanted. Now you are just walking back down on your path, looking for any de-tour, if it was possible! So there you go! There wasn't really a fork pricking you to decide either once of the walks that you'd remember! There is always a second chance. There is no need to take things with too much pressure! Just keep walking, reach your destination and then fondle with the other options you came across! Would like to quote Chetan Bhagat's words @Symbiosis University sometime back : " Life is not meant to be taken seriously as our existence is merely a temporary business. So dont be serious, but sincere! " Take care all and have a great time ahead! :)

Would be happy to receive reactions!

"B.Tech admissions" - Moment of Life and Death for Engineers!

Finally I got through ONE engineering college! It was 1 am when I received a call from my girlfriend, " PRABHAAAAASSS!!! You got through Jamia!!! " I couldn't believe what she said! After 5 months of failure, could there be a moment of joy? Finally? I quickly closed all my tabs from Facebook and other " not-so-important-stuff" and typed www.jamiahamdard.edu to check out if I had really made it! And there it was! Roll number 18879! That 5-digit number was me! I got through an engineering college. I scrolled down only to realize that not only did I make it into an engineering college, but also got the subjects of my choice that too in Delhi as well! Suddenly the sun started shining upon me at 1 in the night!

First thing I did? Again logged on to my Facebook page and sent a notification to all my friends about my moment of success! After that I dialled my uncle's number, waking him up from his slumber and crying out loud " Chacha! I did it! I got through Jamia! I am going to be an engineer! "
Finally I realized that I hadn't told my parents yet! The next thing I remember is my whole family up by 1:45 am in the night, with big bright smiles upon their faces! Tiwari's had finally produced an engineer! First engineer! Boy! What a proud feeling that was! Adrenaline rushed all over me, and mind stopped working! I took out my cell phone, dialled a 10-digit number and cried, " yes! yes! yes!! Yes I did it! And I love you a lot! Your boyfriend is not going out of Delhi anymore and 4 years later, this boy would be an engineer! ". Yes! That was my girlfriend. But what I realized on turning around was the faces of my parents!! Did I just used the 3 letter sentence in front of them? I really did!
But that did not seem to be a matter to anyone!
Another middle class family lit up at 2 am to figure out that after 4 years, their lives would be changed! An engineer would come out of the womb of a nationally credited A-grade university from Delhi itself! Everything was too small in front of that, even ILY!
Today when my father and mother meet one of their colleagues or old friends, their chest proudly swell to speak out " humara beta engineering kar raha hai! Jamia se! " ( Our son is pursuing his engineering from Jamia! ). And that is the moment I tell myself, "yes, i was no fool! I did make my parents proud finally. After series of failures in IIT AIEEE GGSIPU JMI, my time did come at last! "
For any aspiring engineer, the day of his call at an engineering college is the best day of his life ( or should I say best night in my case! )

Love you papa, mummy and P for being there and supporting me. For believing in me!
Take care all! Signing out! B'bye!

Indian Democracy In Danger?

Censorship over Social networking sites, no justice to 26/11 perpetrators, Bhopal gas tragedy still rubbing salts over wounds, movement against Government's corrupt practices and witty proposals to remove it, movements against FDI and the black money at the Swiss banks. And if that was not all, then to top it came the proofs of the entire government, up till the PM office being employed in the 2-G spectrum facade. Then the Mullaperiyar dam controversy within its own states.
Today morning a common man, ex-soldier, stood up against the entire system at Jantar Mantar to fire yet another movement against corruption.

All these events are now proving to be an earthquake over the hereditary government of the Gandhi-Nehru family, weakening its very structures. With each passing day, the Indian government is losing its grip over stability, sanity and getting fiercer and even more stubborn. Where is the nation heading towards with these situations is a prime question. Indian democracy, considered as the largest in the world, is now even the world's weakest and most corrupt one as well.

Speculations are being made that there might be chances of a no-confidence vote against the government. Immature  fall of the UPA government seems likely.
However that's not it! Recently I heard another twitty tweet that the virtual PM, controller of Mr.Manmohan Singh, was planning to follow the steps of her mother-in-law. Straight to the point? There might be chances of another Emergency state in India.

Does this mean we are about to move 10-15 years back again? Does it mean the largest democracy is about to fall down now?

While its all in the girth of time, it might be a better idea for the Indian population to start thinking, start  growing up. Take their decisions after thinking. Voting is not just pressing a random button and getting a free nail paint. If we want our rights, we must be responsible for our duties as well.

Take care!
Think and do comment, as I always say!
Ciao! :)

Age Of Music!

What do you see the difference between all these years in yourself?
From a single teeth to a grown person with 32 teeth?
From those weak little fingers to palm as big to hold some other baby's little fingers?
Or perhaps tight belly to a huge paunch there, full of  McDonald's and Domino's! :D
But we often miss a small yet huge part of our growing up. Yes yes, you smarty pants, you read the title! Its music! We never realize that with each passing birthday celebrations, we tend to grow up with the kind of music we prefer listening. However this change is so subtle that we often do not realize it! Its like last month you cut your hair, and without any notice they are back to same length again!
Remember what music we used to hear when we just started comprehending stuff? "Rudolph the red-nosed rain-deer" ! Even "Jack and Jill " .. Yes these were the nursery rhymes at that time, but they were still music to our ears! Who realized that time that these tunes were supposed to teach us something?
Winds changed, we grew up and so did the music!
From "a, b,c, d ... " we grew up to Hindi tracks like "lalla lalla lori" "nanna munna rahi hun" and so on..
Yet few more birthdays and the tracks changed to the Bollywood soundtracks! "Tum toh thehre pardesi" was a hit a remember when I was about 8-year-old.
You enter your teens. There you find friends talking about  "Numb - by LP " . First thing you did was reach home, and search for a download ( of course not a legal copy! :P  )
And you downloaded the track. You put on the play button, and all you understood was...[long pause for the effects!]...NOTHING!
Yes! All you understand from those metal songs is nothing! Roaring, growling, rapping few words which you never catch without using some lyrics providing sites. BUT! You don't stop listening to LP. Why? Because yet again your music grew. It never mattered if you understood a word in the heavy tracks, but it was the new thing in! Guess what? Peer pressure also introduces to new music! It's not that bad after all!
Seasons changed, and the school time love-of-your-life appeared in front of you! And suddenly your ears got irritated at the rash hard death metal they were accustomed to all their teenage! From thin air, "When you say nothing at all - Ronan Keating " played! And yes, again the music grew mature-rer ( if that is a word in English)! For the first six or seven months, all your iPod played was tracks from all the Keatings and Enriques and Blues and the GooGoo Dolls!
Then things start getting usual! You get casual with your girlfriend and the new feeling is no more. By the time you have reached 18 years or so. Rapping, in the terms of music! The next thing in for your earphones! Loud base, fast words, swinging tunes that make you beat-box yourself! iPods are then updated with Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and Eminem!
Another few years and the old age starts for the music!
The ears lose their strength to heavy music. The heart is no longer flowing along with "When you look me in the eyes - Jonas Bros " . Brain ain't able to beat with the hip-hop!
Guess what now? Times for classics! Mozart  walks out of grave and enters your music system and the Daily Times in your hands on the rocking chair...
Music grew up with you! But it never dies... It stays with the generations yet to come. To accompany them and walk them through the lanes of life!

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. "
Aldous Huxley

Okay! Now I gotta go for my lunch!
See you guys!
Take care and stay musical!
Comments please :) And do follow me! Right side bottom button would take care of you!

Life vs Principles

Life and principles. The two words are often holding each others hands.
Every one's life would have a few principles. In fact, since early childhood we hear the phrase : "this is the principle of my life..."
Why do we need principles in our already messed up lives? What is this principle? Isn't it just a way to define some discipline in our own life? But then why should we have discipline in life? When there are so many rules already been set up on our head?

What is life?
The most common answer : "Its a path or journey to achieve something we desire. To get what we want. To fulfill what we aspire throughout the journey. To get that, we must have some discipline. We must have some principles to bind ourselves to help us concentrate or be focused on the aim "
The question is : " Why so serious?? "
Don't we know that this is one life? This is the only chance we have got.
Should we enjoy every moment of it or should we focus on the path we have decided to follow?
And who made these paths for us? - Our own parents, grandparents and ancestors.

There is a quarrel always going on in me - mind vs heart.

Mind tells us to follow the path. Continue the journey with proper focus and discipline. To follow the rules and regulations. To follow the timetable. To do what your parents, teachers, elders and the whole world tells you to do.
Mind asks you to make a few principles. " Do not drink. Do not smoke. Do not cry. Do not ask for help. Do not give up. Do not fall to pain. Do not let go even if you're in pain. This is one life, make it worthwhile "

Heart tells a different story. Heart says this is one life. Live it to the fullest. Tell the world : "fuck off! ". Stop caring about the rules set about others. Life conviniently, and happily. Do not stress your own life and cause yourself pain. Do not suffer anguish either. Live life king size.

Where, the life of mind seems full of hardwork, persiverence and struggle, it pays back in the form of success to what you wanted.
And heart's life gives you joy, happiness... Allows you to do what you always wanted to. Keeps you aways from the shakles of discipline. However it does not promise you a bright future. It doesnt ensure you that life would be as simple as always.

So what should be the life like?

Should we have discilpine or free-lancer type freedom?

Confusing Love , Yet Amazing Love !

So! Having problems understanding what your girlfriend wants? Can't figure out what her words actually mean? OR!! Cant telepathically determine what is going on in her heart?

Here is the place to -- wait a second! I don't have any solutions myself ! :D

Rather, here is the place to discuss what are the different problems we guys face!

Here are two text twisters for you!! Tell your friends to reach out to this place! Excited to post more helps!


One day after a fight with your girlfriend, and after everything was settled between you two, (atleast what you thought was settled!) ,  you text her , " Hey! How are you? ". She replies "Fine! ". But was she really fine?
NOW! Here is the trap! Whenever the girl says she is " Fine! " , she's NOT fine! For her, the things are NOT settled! You might have planted a kiss on her cheek after the sorry, you might have said " I love you alot! This wont happen again..Blah blah! ". BUT the things were still not settled with her. Remember, just a fine means she is still upset with you!
Now what is the solution?
Well, nothing actually.. There is nothing much you can do. Just hug her. Tell her you love her. Do NOT try to get physically intimate, but YES KISS her! Give her some more time and space..
If everything goes fine, your girl will be back to normal within next 5 hours!

Now, next texty trap!
  Your text : "Hi!"

  Her text    : " Hi"
Now. See the difference? Minute, but still major! The difference is the exclamation mark!
  You sent her " Hi ! "
  She replied with : "Hi".

What does this mean? This means that your girl is having some problem which she expects you to know from the telepathic power God refused to give you!!
What do you do?
Just to confirm that something is wrong, just send another confirmation text!

You : " How're you doin baby/hottie/sexy/whatever you prefer ? "
If she sends : " M k." Or " M f9 " Or " Ok" Or something as plain and simple, there is the sign that she is NOT FINE, she is NOT OK, she is NOT GOOD!!

Now the solution.
You need to handle this solution very delicately! Remember! Not to show that you are great in your life!
What you can text her is : " You don't seem fine! C'mon! Now your'e going to hide stuff from me? Me? I love you and you think I do not read your heart?  Tell me what it is? "

There! She would blurt out all that is in her mind and heart!
Support her! Show your affection..Be with her!

NOTE : She might not speak out whats in her mind at once! But try to put some pressure ( too much pressure too can be dangerous! )
But there might be a 2% chance that your girlfriend is from some other planet and this text twister does not apply on her!!

There you go! God just blessed you with telepathy!
You will understand her texts better!
Remember, anything unusual means there lies a problem in her head!

Waiting for response :)

P.S. " Love is like war! Easy to begin but difficult to stop! "
