College for oppurtunities or fun?


“What was the best phase of your life?”

Ask this question to any elder fellow on this earth and it would rarely happen if he doesn’t mention his college days. This is the age when everything in life balances out. You seem to be living at the juncture of both skylarking days of movie, music, friends and parties and the other part where you juggle with your study responsibilities and deadlines .And if there was anyone if he didn’t balance both properly, he wouldn’t be immune to problems and regrets in later life.

Everyone in the group sitting silently on their chairs in canteen and someone fireworks a joke। The group bursts into the laugh with almost each one of them hurling their hilarious comments. The moment becomes real tough when the canteen food bill turns out to be indivisible wholly among the odd number of friends.

There is at least one person in every college who plays a musical instrument. And listening to the songs we never thought we would like makes you feel over whelmed.

When mood turns off and lectures start to throb your head, bunking is the most viable option. If done with friends it turns to be the most exciting and memorable experience…

Periodic exams attack with constant hurdles with mini tests and experiments hammering you up and down, left and right until you come out cleaner just like clothes from a washing machine. Every presentation and project challenges you with stage skills, voice toning, body language and determination to face some unexpecting questions from the audience. No matter if they flip you upside down, you make mistakes, you learn and that’s why it doesn’t go in vain.

Everyday in college helps you grow personally, socially and mentally.

If these are the things a college graduate is watching from the other side of the world he is bound to see himself in them and have nostalgic goose bumps running over his body.

It is necessary that college life is not full of enjoyment just as portrayed in some films nor should it remain a monotonous work of academy learning. It is indeed undoubting that worst things happen later in life when you fail to balance college days. And that becomes a sole reason for a person who has abstained enjoyment in college having regret that he didn’t enjoy or the person who didn’t avail the opportunities he had in his college days.

Opportunity is one thing that everyone should be looking for. There is something personality development can’t teach you and some that fun filled days can’t. It becomes our responsibility to absorb and enjoy the best of both worlds together and that’s why college life is what we make of it…

To be or not to be

“Oh my God!!” Was the silent fumble from my mouth with my facial expressions hidden underneath as I looked across the screen of my laptop .I was half way through the movie “Schindler’s List ” . One of the most vicious dictatorships carried out by Nazis upon the Jews, I felt a moment of insecurity around me for an instance when the Nazi soldiers were ordered to forcefully vacant the homes of glorified Jews and throw them on streets. They executed them with a bullet in their head, raped women and hurt children at their own will and entertainment. It was a life made hell for them. They were snatched of all riches and were thrown to live into the abandoned room also dwelt by dozens of other Jews at one place. They were enforced slavery and all that they had to do was perspire blood all the day in factory and if they didn’t as per their expectations they were assassinated. The brightest of the bright talented Jews had lost their life ambi

The opposites

I had a friend whom I seem to meet almost regularly during travel to college. I would alight Karjat and he would travel to Lonavla. With this same thing happening over almost a year, we had grown into close friends. At first we used to talk about the weather and how most of the pune crowd is egoistic during travel, who wouldn’t lend their seat to us despite their spine aching from rubbing their butt against the seats. What I felt good about him was that he was always smiling and seemed to carry off his burden of hectic schedule with humor. Slowly we had deeper topics to discuss about and we almost forgot about the seats we had to catch and how sunny it was outside. We started discussing about our friends and personal life. He had turned into a best friend. One day my face didn’t seem to budge and I wasn’t talking much. The day before today, I had failed my exams  and had lost a competition which was backed by partiality. In the morning I had a fight with mom and had almos

How to travel into the future

Travel-ling into the future is always a dream of every human being. What’s there in store for me in future? is a question. Well, I have been thinking about it throughout. If tomorrow was your birthday and you can’t wait for the sluggish hours in between you just have to do as I say. And in a blink you will be into the future. This method will apply only in short bursts and remember you can’t return back even if you wish to. So, carefully implement this method because there will be no turning back and lost is lost.But promise is you will be transported into the future within a blink. May be you will think why you didn't do it before?It was so logical.. The good thing about it is you practice it every day and some do it all the day and won’t find it difficult because you do it involuntary. And if your guesses are dreaming and meditating and all leave it aside it is neither of them. Precautions
