A New Beginning...

Its been only two weeks since I have started working but life seems to have changed entirely. Nothing absolutely nothing feels the same. I am discovering new things about myself, my likes and dislikes are becoming more clearer, I am developing new interests and I am also moving away from few things which I thought I liked earlier.


Its not so much about the job as it is about me adjusting to an entirely new scenario. Its strange but true that during the end of college days I desperately wanted to become a working professional but once in the profession, I am beginning to question my capabilities. I wonder if I am mature enough to fit into the professional environment.


I so miss those care free days with friends in the college. The times we bunked classes just to sit and argue over the same old topics(with the same outcome ofcourse ie No Consensus..!!), the times when five different brains instantly thought to go to a particular restaurant simultaneously, the times we explored every nook and corner of the college just to stay away from the eyes of our HOD, the times which were full of fun and masti with no responsibilities and worries except the omnipresent anxiety of getting placed.


Looking back and cherishing those memories I wish I could remain a student forever. I so miss my school days, the college days and especially the IIMC days. Sometimes I laugh at my ignorance. I didnt realise then that my years spent in school and college were not just any years but moments which will make me nostalgic everytime I would think about them. I never imagined that the times I cried will make me laugh and the times I laughed will bring tears.

(This end is the beginning of a new journey and I am sure there are many more lessons to be learnt)

Happy 61st

Only on two days out of 365 do we realise dat we r Proud Indians. 26th January n 15th august are d days wen we feel immersed in d true spirit of tricolor.... music stations play al d patriotic songs, news channels suddenly get obssesed with the heroes of d soil.. dey divert dere crucial tym away frm filmstars towards d bravehearts sacrificing dere comfort to ensure dat we live in peace..sms msgs r al abt being proud of our nation even though throughtout d year we keep criticising evry little thing abt it..many of us dont even kno y Republic Day is celebrated or jst exactly hw Independence day holds so mch significance bt stil we feel excited n fr a change feel lyk flaunting dat we r Indians....

since mrng all tv channels r playing the new version of "mile sur mera tumhara" track in d true spirit of patriotism n i think d makers felt dat its only d movie stars who truly represent India coz d real heroes namely our athletes n our defence forces are visible only in glimpses dat too twds d end...

also travelling on delhi's roads on one of dese days is a new experience in itself....roads are nt crowded n u wonder whthr dese 4 lanes roads suddenly came into existence frm smwhr coz on other days u dont even find space to put down a foot...ditto fr d buses....n den u hv police personnels...fr once u feel dat dey r dere fr ur security n nt only fr d VIPs n VVIPs....

also wen u see d tricolor flagging here n dere...on d autos, cars, outside big n small institutions, on d malls n shopping complexes n in d hands of school kids..u jst cant ignore d mere beauty n power of dose simple three colors...

it wd nt b an exaggeration dat dere is smthng diffrnt in d air on dese days....actually evrythng is diffrnt...everythng is closed..students are happy to get a day off frm school without thinking abt d reasn....all mkts are closed n everybdy gets to spend sm quality tym wid family...if d day falls near d weekend den dere r more reasons to b happy..u can plan a weekend trip...wat bttr way other dan dis to celebrate d true spirit of nation...

infact today was a cmpletly diffrnt day fr me as well....i walked d delhi roads engulfed in d dense fog....saw cars buzzing across me n den gettng lost in d fog...in fact it was d frst tym dat i explored delhi on d Republic Day n actually felt diffrnt...it was feeling whch cant b described in one wrd...nostalgic...proud....sweet n innocent...n jst diffrnt bt gud...delhi is sm wat d same on other days as wel...d same roads ..d same fog...d same buses...bt today everythng felt so soothing n loving...

maybe it was jst d notion in d bck of my mind dat it is Republic Day or dere was smthng in d air....watever d reason... i thght abt my nation n fr once accepted it to b mine with al its shrtcomings n achievemnts alike........ i dont kno if my thoughts wd d same tomorw or in d following days....
