Give TIME to get a DIME | Life Blog
Standing at this stage of life, just after a year of completion of my bachelors and witnessing the life around me, we are seeing people confused, frustrated and spoiling their present for the future which even does not have dependability too; makes me realize what are actually we doing?
Are we really living life or just leaving it?
This age has given us a lot of worst things to ponder upon.
- A bad past to regret upon,
- A mediocre present to hate and
- A hope of better future to think for.
And to its irony we are pondering on all of the 3.
We have stopped to live the life and doing our work; for which we actually came into existence and the time which is given to perform in life is invested in a lot of thinking. We have just passed a year after college and we are burdening ourselves with what bad can happen to us or what can happen to us?
What if we don’t get the desired income from our job? What if we don’t got a best b school to study in? Why am I doing this work? What am I doing in this college? Is this life worth living? Is this good age to get married?
And I am asking, is this actually a time to think all this?
The typical mentality of our society which makes us realize too early that we have to handle the responsibilities of our families as soon as we get out from education and this leads to spoiling of our life before we enter in this actual world
Did we actually knew in primary section that will come in secondary sections?
Did we actually knew in 10th standard what will follow in 11th,
And same did we actually knew what all we will do in college years.
The answer is : NO
When we entered from primary – secondary-college, we got to know everything as we experienced it. So why do we need to be conscious about our future before time? It’s this mentality of burdening ourselves with multiple responsibilities at the age of living the life of our dream. That holds us back, stops us, and makes us a man of thought and just thought without actions.
We are the new born children’s in the new world, so why don’t we live like the newly born though in a bit mature way. Why don’t we enjoy our present work without thinking what it will lead in future? Why can’t we still live a life which we can enjoy, which we can love and which develops our understanding by teaching us with experience rather than imposing it on us at a early age. Earning is important part of life and same is with responsibilities but everything needs time.
Even a baby needs a minimum of 7 months to come out of his\her mother’s womb.
As we get involved in working or studying we ourselves will notice a change in our life which will make us realize what we want to do in our lives, how can we earn, how can we handle the responsibilities.
Everything happens with age and this age is not to think about what can be done, but to act on what we are doing in the best way. We don’t know whether our actions will have good results or not, but that’s life. We will learn from the results of our actions and move ahead in a better way, but pondering upon will not lead to anywhere
The time that is going on is such that the struggles in life have increased and the outcome of the struggles has become slow and steady. I fee that everyone wants to run fast, but in this running, they don’t remember the one who runs fast, gets tired early and to go long walk taking time, realizing each and every moment of life understanding it and enjoying it.

A girl in a foreign land | Poetry
A girl in a foreign land | Poetry | Life
All in new shoes,
Away from her own sand,
A girl in foreign land.
She beings her day,
Where she left the other day,
Goes to earn
Than to learn
Finds it hard
And difficult,to have fun
She cooks her bread
Makes her bed
Lies on it,
To take a long nap,
But in no time again,
Finds herself awake,
To move out with her name,
To repeat the work again, to do the same
……….
It was not the same then,
She was in the east and not in west, back when
Her laugh was different, her cry was different
The sparkle in her eye was different
Her face expressed ,
Her smile impressed
In the kingdom of her own,
She was her very mistress
A carefree bird,
She danced in her thoughts
With the people closed to her ,
She explored the very roads,
Her soul shined with light
Aura cleansed people’s guilt,
Her nature compiled everyone to one,
Life was something more than what she lived.
She was desire in her name,
But had no desire to be a part of any game
………….
Now Its a all new land there,
Away from somewhere to nowhere
Still she tries,
Tries to be the same,
To live in a new world,
But with the old heart frame,
In search of life, her day begun’s,
And in Searching herself, It ENDS

In Pursuit of Dream | Poetry
In Pursuit of Dream | Poetry
*Many times harsh,
Many times mean
Rarely understood by others,
Even rarely seen
But believe in it, Pursue it,
Because it is your Dream.
* It made you who you are,
It’s the one thing which will take you far,
Will give you happiness and peace,
Make your life better with ease,
Will make you see, how a better world can be seen
So go out, and pursue your dream
*Your dream will never leave you alone,
Even when the world will turn you down, It will still be your own
It was there, even when you never felt,
Will be there, even when your soul will be left,
It is in you,
Shouting; to understand what it mean
So Go out, and pursue you Dream
*It was something, because of which many times you never slept,
It was something because of which many a times you even wept
It was opposed by people, brutally crushed
But you always nurtured it and always had in it,your Trust
It is something what defines your being,
So Go out and pursue your dream
*Nobody cared when you were born,
Neither will care when you will die,
But the dream will remain a dream,
If it is not fulfilled by
So break the bondage with the world,
Stop thinking what the world will think,
*Everything will end one day,
That day will come in just a eye’s blink,
So rush out, go, cry and scream,
Whatever it takes, pursue your dream

The Accidental Roommate
Roommate : College Memories : Blog
The Beginning
On a random evening, when the leaves on the pathway were yet to be swept, the campus was peaceful and serene, yet to be disturbed by human intervention of the coming batch, I reached here. On the gate, I was welcomed by the security guards and checked my name in the list of new students that was put near the gate.
The registration of students and allotment of their rooms was due for the next day, so they made some temporary arrangement for those who arrived early.“There is another guy who has come this morning, he is staying in room number A-6. Should we allow you the next room or are you willing to share the room with him?” asked the security guard. Being new to the campus and afraid of being alone, I chose the latter option.
We were allotted separate rooms the next day but hoped to convince our respective roommates to swap. Call it misfortune of my good fortune, my roommate was not keen to shift (I guess he was a strong believer of Vastu-Shastra). The guy I stayed with on the first night, wasn’t allotted any roommate. As soon as I came to know this, irrespective of the several emails from the college authorities asking us not to change our allotted rooms, I picked up my luggage and shifted to his room.It was 2014 then, and it is 2016 now, the decision which was then an option, became a choice for me. This choice resulted in lots of memories, times of joy, laughter, arguments, smiles, stories of travel and a journey full of mouth-watering food. It happened accidentally, but we remained roommates for these years.
The mid-way
He had a personality that was in contrast to mine. Calm, composed, having an aura of solace around him. We began as roommates and eventually became companions, friends for a lifetime! Our arguments were usually replaced by understanding. Perhaps, when two persons with opposite personalities meet, a phase of the war is expected. But not here, at least one had a sense of acceptance and nature to forget the grudges and move on. This logic is not restricted to couples. This holds true for the parent-child relationship, or even for a simple friendship. In our case, he was the one who knew when to drop the matter and avoid further arguments.Though he was younger to me, I learnt several things from him. Whether it was his calmness, his profound understanding of things, or the time he dedicated to eating he did everything with ease, peace and patience. Sometimes I noticed that even after having such a laidback attitude, he enjoyed his life, whereas others panicked and ran around like madmen to complete their stuff.
The mid-way continued…
The first year passed, and without a second thought, we chose to be together in the second year as well. By this time we rarely needed words to express our feelings. Many times our silence was the answer, or laughter explained everything. To some extent our choices complemented. Whether it was having food at a particular joint or running back to our homes in whatever free time we could find, or keeping the room dark with fewer lights, we rarely debated or argued on it. It was understood what the other wanted or is comfortable with.
As the season of placements dawned upon us, we too ran the race. He got placed in a very reputed telecom company. Today, after two months of his selection, a mail from his recruiter came. They have given him a joining date from the next week. We were aware of this, but just the thought of him leaving in such a short time sent shivers down my body.
Relationships are described by a set of standard words and so is hatred. But in the midst of these extremes, what we tend to forget are those small, tiny, peaceful relations which we make in a short time and which stay with us for a lifetime.The Closing
My mornings for the next month won’t be the same again. The dependency on him for many things. Starting with making my laptop work, or waking me up early will all be shifted to my shoulders. I doubt that anyone else would be as concerned for my interview rejections as he was. I doubt that anyone makes insult me so much with the intention to work harder for my next interview. Maybe there will be no one in my room during exams to scold me and abuse me for not studying. The obsession that I have with my phone will irritate no one now. No one will ask me to “restrain from using the phone for a day” on his birthday as a gift.
I don’t feel like expressing my affection for my accidental roommate anymore. Maybe just a smile or a laugh while he goes will make him understand how I feel deep inside. But one thing is for sure; that the life we lived in the college campus will reside in our memories forever.
Good Luck Brother!Roommate : College Memories : Blog

The Post-Lockdown resume
The Post lockdown Resume.
Your profile needs to be edited. The experience section needs to be updated in your resume. A separate segment of your learning in the last two months needs to be highlighted. Not only certifications shared on LinkedIn but the takeaways of your overall professional and/or mental growth, as well as understanding, should be highlighted on your resume.
One thing we all must agree that this lockdown due to COVID19 left us with a thought to take a step back and introspect. It can be in terms of what went wrong or what right needs to be done in future. It can be with respect to business, jobs or even our self at large.
I understand many people in and around us will debate and argue about the mental stress of extra working hours and a tensed situation due to layoffs, leaf them so exhausted that they did not get any time or motivation to learn and upgrade with any other certification.
But as I mentioned, it can be either mental or professional learning.
For all the work experience, we already have a Pre lockdown resume.
COVID19 came to us like that uninvited guest whom we didn’t even know. It took our address from some distant relatives of ours and visited us, giving us curiosity, anxiety and fear with each day passing.
The country got deserted and people got caged within their 4 walls. But wasn’t that even an experience? Even this learning must have made us draw certain conclusions on various factors of life and business.
With my experience of 7 years in Sales, I have realised that not always the best person with a typical theoretical knowledge is able to achieve targets on the ground. It is always the one who understands the situation from heart and mind altogether, creates an internal conflict and solves it thoroughly, makes a difference.
It is the EQ that counts more than IQ and what makes the difference is the combination of both.
And to have such an understanding, this lockdown presented you with one of the toughest life situations. To be present in it, managing domestic and professional life altogether. Handling overtime working hours and still managing household chores, Being laid off from Job and still trying to maintain a strong mental behaviour focusing on the way ahead.
This time gave us the freedom we always planned but never took. Freedom to introspect, dig deep and even enhance our knowledge learn new experience and note the learning from it.
Many corporations on their own took this step of enhancing the learning of their employees which definitely must yard better results in the coming months. In other cases, the individual took it on themselves to do the same.
The ones who did this and stayed focus on the best of both (the mental and intellectual) learning, got many such lessons which will help them to decide where the future lies.
The shift from physical to virtual in its complete sense was another aspect of growth. I realised that we have grown up with the concept of Peer to peer learning which always took place in person and also how the corporate environment affects your growth was the idea thrown to us during all corporate meetings. And now we were left with none.
So?
Are the learnings and growth not possible now?
Since ages, it has always been the humans who stood up for their needs. And the ones who did, thrived.
Instead of blaming, let us consider it as a phase of transition and discovery. Somewhere nature had pressed the reset button and now we are back to basics. So that eventually makes us the creators of the new world. It is how we will toil hard now and design it, paves the ways for the future.
So let’s decide what changes we made and how those changes made us in the last two months.
Whether it is,
On working hours?
In coordination virtually?
Or on the impact on productivity?
How was the mental state?
And in case you got sufficient spare time, where did you invest this time in?
There should be a post lockdown resume.
All the learning and experiences should be highlighted in your post lockdown resume. It should be a matter of achievement for you with the understanding and learning with which you came out of this phase. Mentally and otherwise. And all those things need to be highlighted in the resume. You should be able to put down the understanding of this phase.
For the future, the main learning this lockdown has given to everyone is to not take anything for granted and the ones who understood this during the lockdown learnt a lot.
Whether you wish to analyse or answer it to yourself or others, is a personal choice but eventually what did the lockdown bring out in you will sooner or later define you.
Thank You.
