Myth I believed, Myth other students believe

-

Today I was talking with my younger sister in the 9th standard. We were discussing regarding her studies. Later I told her about my own study plans to which she surprisingly said, “Till when are you going to study?”, “you will get old doing studies”, and “you have now got the job, why are you leaving it?”… I had similar questions in my mind when I was younger, perhaps at her age. I had the statistics that by 25 I will have a job & afterward I will work for a good 30 years before my retirement. I used to look at students doing their PhDs, postgraduates or studying for some other competitive examinations & think that they have been studying since so long & it is futile for them to study till age 30. When will they work & start to earn?! Because the statistics worked simply for me, “more the time one works, more the money one earns". I never cared about the ownership and internal satisfaction which is a playful factor as well. There are people who work half-heartedly thinking about all the things they could do if they had not been stuck in a job. This at times goes frustratingly because you don’t know what to do.


Yes, it is tremendously hard to leave the job when actually you started acquiring a sense of pleasure and liking towards it. Besides, in 3-4 years you have evolved on getting a touch of the real world, real market & the day-to-day learning. I can even say that I am leaving my job in order to come back by being a better person. The decision should cause satisfaction to you; else you will soon be seeking out options like a pendulum, “Should I do, or should I not do?”

Our visit to Shanti Bhavan - Nagpur

Today we visited an old age home - Shanti Bhavan, Mother Teresa Ashram in Nagpur. The realization that there are complicate things happening around us was clearer today. The ashram has around 160 old age and disabled people living there. Ashram is doing great in terms of taking good care of the people. There are people in Nagpur who are visiting to the Ashram in most Sundays just to take care of the people for an hour or two, as for example I met a surgeon today, he told me that he visits here every Sunday to take care of the cleanliness of the oldies. My Experience Today? It was good. There are innocent people who are abandoned from their family. This ashram is taking care of them. I felt real proud in been engaged with such an NGO group and to those who are responsible for my upbringing that I am able to take decision & spend my time here, here with these people. At first I was just standing outside of the ashram, I had little idea of what is inside, what is the environ

Bring the kid or not

-
My friend who just gone through a full pregnancy and delivered a cute kid, once quoted me a question, “Rohit, why should I bring a child into this sad & cruel world. I am scared and feel responsible for the kid”. I had no answer then and more so even today I am still in the vague. My god, pregnancy is tough for some people. It’s not what it is we may think it is, ok, us bachelors. As a growing up kid in my little joint family, I have seen my aunts going through the processes. But, I was a kid then. I never knew that there are hormones which keep playing with your mind & your body. You could end up vomiting all day and feel crazy on your stomach. Depending on your case, you may have to keep visiting the doctors to get the regular healthy consultations. Adding some sugar, for some woman this is a simple process as well. There are those who remain unaware that they are 4 months pregnant! Anyway. I was passing by a regular street and I saw a young aged woman. She was pregnant and s

Ride and the Kalsubai Trek

It was a two-day trip from my stay at Mumbai. I drove in the evening a previous day. Having have rode my meteor a good 2500Kms, It was comparatively adjusting to ride 160km from Mumbai to the area near the peak. I have felt that if the trip is pre-planned, it helps you enrich your experience. There is so much more that we can explore and that does help us save time, energy and some money as well. I write with the same intention. Material carrying is important. Wearing bike accessories is essential for safety. This time while driving in the late hours, I felt that I should also carry items like pepper spray, a mat & torch. I carried a battery back up this time which made me feel safer, so to say. To remain ensured during the trip helps to enjoy better. I was calm due to it. I had put Kalsubai peak in the google map. Somehow I was going in the wrong direction. I had planned that I would find some tenting service nearby and sleep inside it during the night. I got to know t
