Life is Fleeting .. as I began my first post .. I thought the same way .. It is very difficult to come across people who actually teach you something .. I do not say that in the may of learning .. Learning and teaching are two different things.. you can learn a lot of things by searching the internet and there is so much "GooGle" in our life .. but the thing is there are basic fundamental in life that only proper experiences can teach you !!
I learned it from a very special person at the University of Florida .. It is not everyday that some statement actually influences you to do something .. and you go for it .. This was just one of those moments where I went for it ...
The person told me " Always be prepared to question others .. the best they can deter you is to say you "NO" .." that is a very important lesson .. it gave me confidence and I did something that I was always shy of ... not scared .. " I am not scared of most of the things. especially normal people" but the barrier of shyness was always there since I was always a introvert .. I am still more of a solitude loving person .. but these incidents give me a lot of confidence ..
When somebody tells you something inspiring and when you go and do it .. and it works for you .. then it is so much nice .. the whole world seems to be smiling with you and you are happy with everything .. you fill with so much respect for the person who tells you to do things since in this case the person is a complete stranger to me !!!
I have also met people in my life where people have guided me in the wrong direction .. There are people who are so close to you .. but still they guide you in a direction which will be a complete loss to you ... just so that they can see you lose something and fall behind .. these people are " outright Sadist" and I hate such people .. I hate people who do things like that ..
I will not boast .. but I love mankind ... and I love people who think good of others even though they do not know each other and are complete strangers ... When I was in Bhubaneswar .. I had a secret wish that god give me that much capability so that I can help somebody everyday and I can make somebody happy ... The somebody being a "Complete stranger" .. I have also done things relating to such incidents ....
I am writing this blog for myself and I want to remember things .. The time when I helped the Old man .. The time when I fed the people with the money I got , the time when I always use to carry my friends to the hostel on my bike and the time when I was so hurt with Khalique and Jagan when they did something that was so unkilely ...It is a time to remember .. The tapovan near Khandagiri .. Just parking my bike and letting the scented breeze touch my face . that was India .. There are lot of trees in gainesville but the scent , the aroma is not there ...
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. you can find a deep tinge of Burnt Beef here !! during football season .. I wont say the place is bad ... but the place I miss was better ... India is crowded no doubt but mark my words when I say this .. whenever you want solitude you can get it ... Even at ISCKON I found solitude when I just sat in front of Lord Krishna and prayed ... It was a wonderful feeling .. It was also a feeling of solitude when I travelled to my Aai's place in the Bus .. sitting near the window as the bus was passing through the cuttack-BBsr Highway ... Even though the bus was filled with 200 people then also you will feel peace ... because all that was part of my life ... Khandagiri , Indradhanu market, firestation , Jaydev Vihar , Acharjya Vihar , Vanivihar .... All this was part of my Life ....... HAAA
I always stray away ... but that is what is about wrting a blog .. it is impromptu !! Things you fill when you are thinking about something .. that is what is for me blog writing .. Poeple tell me that I should jot down things on pen and paper and then write in a systematic way.. BullShit !!! I say .. A blog is a place where you jot down your thoughts .. your experience .. I am writing so that I can come back some day and relive the things that have been the past .....

Ya as I was saying if strangers could just be as good !!!!!! I will never forget MF ... Thank you !!

- There is so much to life that is still missing .. Have to experience So much more and have already found so much .. Time is running so fast seems so transitory and fleeting .. I want to catch hold of the time .. Turn it back and visit the places that I have already been .. Want to see my childhood days again .. Want to know my friends again >>> Want to feel The first day in school again .. Want to trouble my teachers again .. Want to stand with my shirts off again when being punished by Madhusmita mam .. Want to play with my friends in the Sector-18 field again .. Want to bunk Computer tutions to play cricket again .. want to steal cricket cards again .. and get caught by the shopkeeper in front of my friends .. Want to go to shambhu sir's tution and Rao sir's Tution again .. Want to eat hot lunch cooked by my momy at 8:30 in the morning as she makes me gobble it down , when I am getting late to school .. Want to fight again to stand beside Carmel girls During annual day parade .. Want to sing in the annual day parade again .. Want to have annual sports meet again .. sTory Of mY childhood Want To re-live Everything aGain ....
THE PAGETURNER ...
There is so much yet to know .. Now I am just sitting at my place , quite possibly spending some last moments in India .. or may be not ..
We , (I mean all of us at The College Of Engineering and Technology)
have completed our four years , some successfully and some not so .. There are times that I remember that make me think that how fast Life at Bhubaneswar just came to a stop . I cannot Imagine that all my Four years at Dharmavihar is over.. There was so much to Jagmara than just paying the Huge "Electricity Bills " .. There was the changing inhabitants below .. There was of course the white cute cat (Puchurani) .. and then there was the wonderful quite atmosphere that surrounded the whole place .
First Year .. The 1st episode, Prelogue to the coming three years :
It was something inthe airs that intoxicated me .. It was August 23 I guess .. Bhubaneswar though so near was still a very new place to me . The First day will always be remembered and cherished .. I am writing this so that I dont forget .. I eventually forget everything and that disheartens me..
I wore my pink striped half shirt and entered college , completely nervous to the hilt .. There were these seniors glancing towards me .. as I was going on. I was a easy target , since I was 5'10.3'' tall and fat too .... still I got past and was there in the classroom If I remember correctly .. It was 217 .
Then I went inside and just sat down sat quitely and just waited for any reactions taking place on their side .
The are some people that I remember very well looking at that day .. The people I remember include L.N and there was Maruti , MAk among so many others . These were people who later on will become some Of my best Of friends . I was a little apprehensive , no doubt about that .. , But scared No .. I was not scared ..
Then there were the other sections too I remember them too .. But Vaguely .. My Life was too busy in my own section . Our sections had some of the finest boys ..
These include Srivatsa , Satty , Binayak , Boda .. ME of course and these people are some very bright People of CET .. I am proud Of all these Guyz .. Its a Pity that I dont have any Photos of the college rite here , but in the future I will have them ready ..
My First years were some of the best periods of my life .. There were basically three labs at that time .. They were so many memories that are still fresh .. sorry I could not complete this .. but will some day try to do that ..
.................................................Lets C ... leave it at that ..
