SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE WENT TERRIBLY WRONG……

WHAT'S NEXT....................?????

"A REPENTING SOUL"--Next Stage of Human Being...bcoz of the impact of technology
                                                                                                         Artist-Khushboo Kansal

DESCRIPTION-Gone are the days when a strong desire for accomplishing every task of life manually used to possess the human mind which has now been overridden by the evolution of technology. His desires have gone beyond the limits that are gradually leading him towards the destruction to which no one is known.

Nobody was acquainted with the adverse effects of being caught in the entangled web of technology the man had weaved himself to get stuck to it forever aiming at loosening the burden and boredom of life. Infact, the man and the technology altogether have become a burden over earth.

The technology is scattering its wings in every sphere of human life. It has pushed its slaves back with an unruly gait to where they were originated. A man now spends overnight bending like an ape in front of the computer. His wish to soar in the firmament like a bird led to the creation of airplane. He created idiot box and telephone for his own welfare. Although he achieved certain heights, he led himself towards the massive destruction. Gradually, the technology turned against him as he no more desired to move outside to cherish the charming nature and meet the people.

The man has got blind as he can not imagine his murky future. The day does not seem so far when no one would survive, but the souls would repent for what they have done with their god-gifted natural life being addicted to the technology.

Far away from home (One Month Over in Bangalore)

A month has passed since I departed from my home for Accenture...23rd August 2011 it was...
7.30 AM was the time when I, out of the blue, had to say GOOD-BYE to my family...Nothing was visible to me but the tears from their eyes...I flied to Bangalore all alone...
Finally I reached my Accomodation Center- HOTEL HYBISCUS after 4 hours...Everything and everyone seemed strange to me...New place,,New people,,New Language..I began unpacking my luggage..12 days were spent in luxurious hotel..THANKS to Accenture..Everything was perfect there except food..I got to experience worst food of our hotel's nearby restaurants..It daily got stuck to my throat...I could not dare to engulf it :\ ...Less was consumed than having it gone waste..It seemed the best solution to remain hungry throughout the day than to eat the food..So did I thinking that I might lose some weight...:P :P

A new phase of life had begun now..3 days at FIVE STAR Hotels (Crown Plaza and Hotel Zuri) were quite good in terms of ambience and food (but only a bit satisfaction at Hotel Zuri) as well :) :)
On the fourth day, Office got started...I got so many GOOD friends here...
The most appreciable thing I have found here is the DIVERSITY and WEATHER...It is awesome..Daily it drizzles..and I got to meet so many people belonging to different states of India (Orissa,Rajasthan,Karnataka,Kerala,Tamil Nadu,Andhra Pradesh,Maharashtra,Assam,Punjab,Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal)..What else could have been better than this to learn Different languages and to get to know about their cultures..!!

Well, the first weekend finally came..Now the Weekend Plan was "SEARCHING FOR A PG"...On its very first day, I, with my 2 friends, walked around 15 Kms in search of PG...But came back bare-handed..NEXT DAY soon knocked the door...Finally, we had to compromise with all this...and got a PG (completely dissatisfied with what we got)..What else can be worst than this when NO FOOD IS AVAILABLE FOR A BIG FOODIE..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only RICE with SAMBHAR (water concentration is higher than its ingredients) :P :P
I had already heard a lot about Bangalore Food..but still expected something good to eat there..but failed..
"RICE + SAMBHAR" is the most (or you can say- ONLY) famous food here...
But in between this FOODLESS whirlpool, THANKS to "Mast Kalandar Restaurant" which provides us GHAR JAISA KHAANA...yummiee....and our everlasting mate-MAGGI ...hehehee


.............BUT...............
Not even a single day passed when I did not miss my family...I wish they could be here...,

Now I have finally shouldered responsibility of myself..I have to do every work on my own..Nobody is there to pamper me...to say "Take rest,,Go to bed,,You might be tired,,Don't wake up,,Itz 10am only,,I am cooking your favourite dish.." Those old times are gone when I candidly shared my all problems with them..Gone are the days when somebody was always there to ask "What happened..!! Don't worry..We are here.."

The day starts now at 6.30 am..I leave for office at 7.45 am..come back at 7pm...go to bed late night..Time passes happily at Office doing a lot of work and gossips too....Other people residing in PG are soooo vulgar that they start whistling and clapping while they watch Hrithik Roshan's TV Show..:P :P

No Dusshera..and No Diwali Celebration wth family this year...as I would not be able to go back amidst training..
A humungus PRESSURE of TRAINING..HIGHER STUDIES PREPARATION..and above all, searching for a good PG unlike other friends who are quite satisfied with this worst food.. ;) ;)

Apart from this, I am eagerly waiting for my FIRST SALARY...woww..it shall be the most memorable day of my life...when i would get something (GREEN NOTES) as an outcomeof my hardwork...

I have come too far from my home..I have to live with it anyhow..What I can do is just trying to face every difficulty maintaining inner peace..I will be back home right after my training gets over on 8th Nov...I somehow have to manage to struggle harder and harder to get my dreams accomplished...Till then I will somehow have to manage to live with old memories....
I will have to manage to explore Bangalore's every nook and corner amidst this hectic life..This weekend I am  gonna meet my old friends-Aparna Di...Megha..and Shalini...we might go for BOWLING and perhaps, Banerghatta National Park too...:) IIM-Bangalore, Bandipur National Park and Mysore are still in queue..

Till then.........Searching for Good Food wala PG....:P ;)

My FEELINGS at the 13th last hour before my departure from Home

The moment, which horripilates me cap-a-pie when I think about it, is just 13 hours away.."Departure from my HOME to reach a New Destination-ACCENTURE (BANGALORE)"..

My family will be there with me upto IGI Airport..From there, one of my friends (she is also going to join accenture) will join me there..And it will be like an Adventure for me that I will travel alone now without them..After all, we have grown up..Let our elders not bother about everything..

Unlike other people, I have no excitement of entering this New Phase of life because the Feeling of going far away from family and other people who have been very close to me has dominated over it..I received the e-mail about  my Date of Joining of Accenture on 21st July that made me feel cry..as I was not mentally prepared for the same..
Though I have not expressed to my family how sad I am feeling, yet I have observed how are they feeling for me right now....
The last 10 days were spent Shopping and meeting my Friends and Teachers..And now I am all set to pack my Bags as I have to leave tomorrow at 5 in the morning for Airport..Everything that I am doing today at home seems like I would not do it again..Mom has been cooking my favourite Dishes all the time these days..My father  has always been there to lose his pockets to fulfill my wishes..It was my Brother who daily took me (since morning till evening) for Shopping in different cities of NCR and never complained about tiredness and all..
They did not let me do anything..I am just going to Bangalore with all the things that they have purchased for me and with me..

Everyone at home (Mummy,Daddy and Bhaiya) has got MIXED feelings..On one hand, they are happy for I am going to start EARNING..But sad, on the other, for I am going to bid them good-bye..But the only thing that they express right now is just their HAPPINESS so that I may not get weaker by heart..

Besides this Job, I have so many other dreams that I have to fulfill in life..This is just a beginning of my life that would lead to my Final Destination..It is like a LADDER, as my brother said, that I have to climb step by step..so that I may not fall down without achieving anything by taking SHORT-CUT..I just have to put efforts in every manner..I believe in Nishkaam Karma Yoga.."Karm karo..karmfal ki ichcha mat karo".This is the TAGLINE of my life..I have a strong faith in GOD who has always showered blessings on me..

I do not know what is gonna happen tomorrow onwards...I do not know how would my life get changed in Bangalore...I do not know how would I live without my family...The only thing I know right now is that "The importance of someone is known only when we are away from them"..

HUMANITY vs SANITY

I have been travelling alone using Public Transport to Meerut, Ghaziabad and Delhi since 2007. I have perceived  the world and its people very closely. The things around me have changed frequently except one which no one can expect to have changed even after a millenium- "POSSESSION OF HUMAN MIND OVER THEIR HEARTS".


Everytime I travel by bus, it often happens that after having travelled a few miles an old person (be it a male or a female) or a mother with her l'il child boards the bus, he/she finds no vacant seat. Not even a single sitting soul is there to get up and offer the seat to either of them. No matter how old that standing person is...How precious the life of that l'il one on the lap of his/her caring but worrying mother is. She staggers....and is likely to fall hither and thither....but always keeps struggling to provide comfort to her l'il one.

• WHERE HAS THE HUMANITY GOT VANISHED ??
• WHY IS THE PURPOSE OF BEING BLESSED WITH THE LIFE OF A HUMAN BEING FORGOTTEN??

My wrathful yet pitiful eyes are accustomed to such almost daily happenings...The present youth has forgotten its responsibility which should rather have been shouldered for the welfare of the society.


"SEATS RESERVED FOR FEMALES" is visible to the present generation, but it soon forgets as to who is to be exactly involved under these "FEMALES"- the Girls or the Mothers carrying their children or the Old Women unable to counter the Inertia in Motion and at Rest. The young girls also try to bank upon it though they should not.


What should ita be called.....SANITY......?? that why should one leave his/her seat for the needy as every one on the seat has paid ticket to travel...!!!! OR should it be called the LACK OF HUMANITY / POSSESSION OF SANITY OVER HUMANITY......??


When I was a new traveller, first I did not understand these human beings and reacted nothing to such situations for a day or two. After that, I decided to initiate to solve this problem as I could not tolerate it having happened in front of my eyes. As soon as an old person or a mother carrying her l'il one boards the bus, my eyes are always stuck to him/her until he/she gets a seat. If no vacant seat is found, and I am sitting far from them, I move towards the next step, i.e., observing the nearby sitting people and waiting for them to leave their respective seats. If no one gets up, I move towards the FINAL STEP, i.e., leaving my own seat for the needy. After this, the whole atmosphere of bus gets changed. People start staring at me. Most often does it happen that soon a gentleman or a young lady leaves his/her seat for me either at the same moment or a few seconds before his/her final destination arrives. 
Then I feel that HUMANITY still exists in the hearts of people, but has  been possessed by SANITY....


The whole journey gets spent thinking about this only thing.....and soon comes to a halt.....But a question always remains there in my mind at last......."WHO WON finally......HUMANITY or SANITY..!!"

SAYONARA 2010...!!!!!

Only a few moments are left.....What if one more year is all set to fade away from our lives..!! Some events leave an indelible impressions in our minds..... 


Heyyiii 2010..!!! The time has come to bid you a good-bye.... 


I enjoyed myself to the fullest on your cozy lap.....I tried to follow what I learnt from your Predecessor-2009....And the time has come to endeavor to develop a camaraderie with your successor, and enjoy the next 365 days with and within it....... 


Since I have opened my eyes, every day has been like a PEDAGOGUE to me.......Your Pedagogy has always been contributed by my family.....my mentors.....my comrades.....and the entire world...... I developed so many faces under your shadow..."The face of a Daughter....a Sister.....a Pupil.....a Friend....". And this is your pedagogy which has always enlightened a path for me to maintain all these relationships yet so far....


At times, I was thwarted by obstacles....I staggered...even I stumbled down.....But these obstacles always cleaved a way after sometime to let me move ahead...and choose the best road to be taken...........


2010....!!! You have been one of my most memorable years yet so far....In your 365 days, my life was confronted by some delightful, but saddest moments too......But the former one always followed the latter one......CHEERS...!!!!!
"IF WINTER COMES, SPRING CAN NEVER BE FAR BEHIND" has always been in my mind........


This year too, I experienced every color of life....Being at the Bottom, I thought of reaching the Zenith many a time......Then gradually came Horizon........and my goal to reach the Zenith got transformed into that of separating it with the Horizon..............


You had been so knowledgeable for me throughout your 365 parts that I got the insight of WHERE MY FUTURE EXACTLY LIES......................


Lying beneath your cozy shelter, I got more inclined towards spirituality....Infact, I applied it in several spheres of my on-going life......succeeded but, at times, failed too....This is what we exactly call "The DIFFERENCE between A HUMAN BEING and A GREAT"...............
But I promise you to put my best efforts in transforming myself from the former to the latter, guided by the teachings, I have been imparted, by yet...........


Last but not the least, I would like to express my gratitude to GOD for making you a part of my life, and thereby, making it so memorable and special too.....I always want to be showered with such blessings of God so that I can keep following the right path throughout my life...............
