My first flight

-
Hi!

It was the year 2008. The year of Scare for the US Financial System :(
But it was new and exciting for me:) I was going to college! Wee haa!

You know what does it mean going to college? Ask a kid whos just learned walking, how it feels. Or ask a kid whos just learned riding a bicycle. They will be doing those for hours without getting tired at all! That feeling gives me goosebumps. I am excited to be going to college! I will be a grown up now. 
The best part - No more uniforms! Yes, the civil dress code! Now I am gonna live like a king and wear whatever I like. At least I will be staying away from the family, but I am gonna have a lot of cool friends just like me.

And I will be staying in the Hostel. I have trained myself enough to wash my own clothes and iron them, to be precise. Everything looks good!

Life's going to be the best for the next 4 years!

And then the day came the counselling result - I am gonna join NIT Agartala. I know its the capital of Tripura (honestly, I did not have to make use of the map). I thought wherever it may be, it will hardly take 20 hours to reach there, by train.

I did not know our country was so so huge prior to this one! We did not have Google maps, or smartphones then. No IRCTC online train booking. But my dad enquired from some of his colleagues how to reach there. He said, You will be able to reach there by taking Train to Howrah and then to Agartala via flight. And it will take 2 days. It was 2 AM, and we set out from Dewas, MP. It was the longest and the most exciting journey for me. It kept me pumped with energy required to run a marathon. I enjoyed the scenic beauty, rains, jungle, new meals everything! We reached Howrah after 36 hours, then took the first flight of my life. It lasted only an hour! But that flight taught me how to fly.

When my EGO was shattered

-
 I realised that it makes a great amount of work to be proud of yourself. You have to be different and better from your surrounding in terms of a many different things. I was also high with my ego, until yesterday, when it was shattered by a mere presentation. So, what's in a presentation? Well its not in the presentation as a whole. It was more than that. I realised that all the hardwork that was done previously has been in vain, when I could not even speak English at a level of an English Speaking country. but more than just English, it was also more about framing the thoughts, which I was clearly not able to do. Then we drill down to thought processing. There's not a lot we can do it in a day, because it has become a part of our personalities. What we can do is to be conscious of our actions and words eveery time we speak and act accordingly.

When not able to convince your skills

-
 So, we are in the mid of a global pandemic and I see lots of jobseekers coming up and asking publically that they have lost and are trying to find some reasonable jobs now.  I see this as an opportunity. To live your dreams. If you are still looking after and applying to many jobs for months and months, please don't do it. This will only make you stress more.  Just write those things down. where your mind goes and you will be like free.. Yaay! So I  I tried doing this thing for years now and I believe this works. This blog was started in 2009 when people were having Nokia mobiles and I was writing this blog. Bit now, things have changed a lot;. now I am still there because I did not work on my goals. I did not focus on what really mattered,. instead, I let it go .. All of it, my ego, my sentiments, no desire for ever to acquire ever., but now, the things have change, I have a daughter who is telling me to be emotional, and being emotional drives decisions.s decision...
