People say “Never insult the alligator until you’ve crossed the river…” & I say “Never insult the bridge once you’ve crossed the river…”


“Oji mera puttar ta badaa intelligent ae, oh ta saadi kismat maadi c k ae ‘ghatiya’ college ch admission laena peya. Shukar ae k aene mehnat karke changgi job laelai, nahi taa aeho jahe college chon paddke kidi job laggu!!!”
I’ve often seen people so confident about themselves or their ward that insulting the college is a regular practice by them. Every parent today thinks that their child is a born genius. They think that they’re unlucky or misguided or betrayed that their ward is in so and so college. I’d say them SHUT-UP yar. Comeon! There’s nothing like ‘luck’ if you’re not trying at something. Luck is a by-product of hard-work.
No one is born genius, the word god-gifted may work but again for them only who come up with their real potential. I’m into the final year of my post-graduation, after it I’d be among the lakhs of MBA graduates. I’ve seen my college-mates often talking about the cons of our university, The Kurukshetra University. Every one of them presents himself like a gold plated jewelry accidently or unfortunately caught in a hammer-smith’s hands. They are those who were not even in a condition to clear their first semester exams with subject like business environment, business management and human behavior etc., they are those who never came in full dress code since the first day of college, they’re those who never cared about the elements like discipline, etiquettes, punctuality, obedience etc., they’re those who could be the students of arts and other fields but their parents trusted them and managed to put them into an institute with 50k per annum fee, they’re those whose graphs have significantly dropped down from the beginning and yet they’re “expert” enough to judge a 60 years old university merely after studying in a single department, they’re those who never collected their library tickets from the central library and never even risked to get into library to find the subject related books, they’re those who’re more familiar about the girls and their timings of leaving and entering their hostels than the lecture time-table and they’re those who’d never like to read this post of mine because they think that I’m an ‘over-optimistic’ person.
See, I won’t quote the names here, neither the purpose of this post is.My father says, “If you’re aiming at something then you’re actions should tell that you’re really aiming at it or in other words, your actions should meet your words.” Similarly, if a person wants to achieve something in life, he should be mentally and physically determined to do what it takes. The aim of this post is mine is to tell all those who just lack confidence because of their college and its reputation. I’m not at all saying, that KUK is not reputed or it lacks good education or it hasn’t good faculty. NO, I won’t criticize it. But, I’d say the winners of the battle don’t always have superior weapons but they’ve superior preparation, they’ve superior attitude, they’ve superior determination towards the goal and most importantly they depend on themselves more than the weapons and facilities. You get to have a strong belief in yourself as Anupam Kher beautifully said that The Best Thing About You Is “YOU”, so just focus at your skills and respect your teachers, respect your parents, respect and believe in the almighty and you’ll be qualified to be a successful person. I’ve seen many who were from a very low grade institute having merely AICTE recognition and they got placements at hefty packages and even I’ve seen some of them going at very good positions in a very short span. There’s no luck factor for them, they were just too much devoted to their goals that they came up with what the corporate looks for.
I’ve studied in management that a good manager is not that who looks out to gather more resources, but a good manager is someone who efficiently and effectively utilizes the available resources to get what he wants to get.You’ll need to be like ‘Bear Grylls’ of ‘Man vs Wild’ who doesn’t bother about the conditions and still survives in every situation(most of them are unfavorable). Learn as much as you can, use every resource provided to you and get best out of your potential.

          Therefore, not stretching more this first post of mine I’d say that “it’s not necessary that the conditions will always be in favor of you, it’s not necessary that you’ll be provided with the solutions of your every problem, it’s not necessary that the Lord will always take care of your comfort…….You’ll have to make your own path many times. And remember always that nothing should be bigger than your confidence, not the problem neither the fear of failure…………..And if anything is important, it’s your goal and your possessiveness for the same………….. :)

I want to be different!!



Yes! I want to be different,different from others, not from all, but from many of all. One good thing about the people around me is that they regularly provide me with their feedbacks and remarks about the frank and blunt behavior of mine.See,I’m not artificial at what I behave like. I had never chosen to be a different personality but when I see that people run in a rat race and they love to be a part of the ‘bhed-chaal’, I quit at being like others. I admit that I agree very less to what people say, I admit that I can’t see people criticizing my thoughts because they’re influenced with someone else’s thoughts. My father says, “Your thoughts are anti-social(not because they’re unethical but because society doesn’t accept them easily)”. I also know that I can’t afford to be too much truthful in the society because people can easily take sweet poison but they resist listening the bitter truth. I’m not a philosopher neither I’m a big personality whom people will listen and would give their attention to, but I’ve always been confused that is it really tough to be real in the society? Why doesn’t the society accept anyone as he/she is? I don’t want to lose my real personality. My father, my brother, my friends and others are many times against what I chose to do and what I say. I’m not saying that they aren’t happy with me.
I’ve always been a follower of Sardar Bhagat Singh Ji. And this attachment has also made my wrong picture among others. What’s wrong if I hate ‘vinamrata’ at sensitive matters like security of motherland? What’s wrong if hate people promoting vinamrata at every place when we need to be aggressive? It’s totally out of my understanding that why people follow those who are the real reason behind a chaos.
So, once again I’ve chosen this platform to ooze out my frustration and my thoughts. At least I can be more frank, more truthful, more blunt and more of GAUTAM here. No offence.
