Procrastination.. once in a while

Wiki defines procrastination as the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference to more urgent ones, or doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time, sometimes to the last minute before deadline.

Procrastination as per definition must be a inadvisable and loss bearing substance. It may sound so but it isn't so.

We get lost as we got old. We are groomed with manners, responsibilities and etiquette's. The society expects us to behave in a certain manner that  is felt to acceptable and other behavior is considered either childish or immature. It is certainly not so. If for one moment of your life time you start running away from the things that build your financial portfolio and stop being a materialistic weasel, you shall discover few habits or things that would make you happy. Obviously there would be a little strike on your bank account but you would earn a true smile after years.

Rather than restricting yourself to the office room and watching the rain fall through your window, go out and get wet in the rain. You shall discover that childhood carelessness back within you. Rather than thinking about those strolls in the village fields and getting nostalgic, its better to visit your native once in a while and stroll across the fields. Although the world has turned more concrete than what it was when you were a child, those fields are still pleasant and you are perhaps in more need to discover that peace now than you were a child. There are many things other than money that might bring some bliss for you.

At the end when you will be old, you won't be seeing your bank passbook and smiling but recollecting memories and smiling.

Inter Caste Marriage

In India, when a sperm and an ova meet the first thing they decide is the caste and the religion. Why is it so? Is inter-caste justifiable? Aren't we too outdated that we are still stuck in such issues?

In the era of Kings and Palaces the jobs of the people were distinctly classified and people were to follow those jobs generations after generations. It was a belief that a carpenter's son could not learn anything else but carpentry. The belief was there because it was felt that a carpenters son got exposed to carpentry most of the time and so was his learning better in that field. The same was with other professions. Later this classification of profession transformed to castes and people with some luxurious professions started hating the other profession people. This is how the society got divided into two halves. It was also accepted by the people then because people had different habits. People from one profession had a unique lifestyle and food habit, which was completely different from others. It was believed that when a girl from one different professional background would step into a household that follows another profession, she would face troubles to accept the culture and hence their could have been conflict of opinions. So to avoid such conflicts the concept of inter caste marriage prevailed and was propagated.

Today in this era a guy, whose forefathers were warriors; who has done his schooling in Assam, graduation in Delhi, masters in Ahmedabad and works in Bhubneswar marries a girl who basically hails from Karnataka, whose forefathers were priests; who has done her schooling in Tamil Nadu, graduation and masters in Delhi and works in Bhubneswar. This kind of scenario isn't very unique in this era. There isn't any propagation of profession. People are unique, they are brought up in a cosmopolitan culture and they are exposed to all kind of profession and life styles. There is nothing called marriage in a caste. People today don't match castes, rather they search for understanding in their perfect companion.

Death is begining

Nobody has perhaps known,

if death exits or it don't.

If we live and tell, 

about death a fairy tale, 

it would sound funny,

with a hidden irony..

As we come out of the womb,

we see the trees and feel the warmth,

and our entry into the world,

is thought to be our birth in  the universe.

Is it so true or our leap from a different habitat?

Have we thought about a life,

where death ain't the end every time?

There might be an universe,

far away from us,

where our souls live as a family.

It might be possible,

we haven't seen death in our lifetime..

Please don't pull the trigger

We head to school,

To a place of love and brotherhood,

Thank you mother,

For the tiffin you made and the bag you packed,

We shall return very soon,

Don’t worry, its just another day like everyday..

Why are my friends bleeding?

Why is this apocalypse?

This winter was supposed to be peaceful,

Next January my dad promised me a new bicycle,

Why is lord that everyone around me cry's of pain?

Why is it that stains of blood pour along with rain?

O Sir, do not profess hatred,

Please hold your gun, don’t pull the trigger,

Don’t make this peace a dreary December..

I promised my mom that I would be back home,

Help me, don’t make my mother cry,

For the sake of your Lord, and the children who call you dad,

Please don’t pull the trigger, I promised my mom that I would be back..

I shall give you the chocolate that my mom packed for lunch

Please don’t pull the trigger, I love my mom very much..

I beg you, and bestow my head ahead of you,

Let me and my friends go, we are innocent,

Please don’t pull the trigger, my mother shall pray for your better future..

As you pull this shot and this bullet pass my head,

My last words to my lord,

May God give you wisdom and may you someday realize,

What you have done is wrong,

May you be taught benevolence and humanity,

May my Lord teach you a lesson.

Somebody please console my mom,

Rub her tears and hug her tight,

I know she’ll cry when she’ll miss me every night..

Rise against fear

As a child I always feared to speak in front of the crowd. I had a fear of being broken down or been insulted. I never figured out how this fear developed within me. It was perhaps because of the fear of confronting people in their eyes. I never dared to face the crowd. It was also not like I tried and I was insulted.

The fear remained until college days. I never stood up to speak anything. I stayed away from the crowd. I never thought of fighting the fear within me.

It was the day of my technical seminar in my college. I had prepared a very good presentation on driverless cars. It was a trending topic and my effort had made the presentation a remarkable one. I was to give the presentation in front of my friends and the Head of the Department. I was not at all prepared with my presentation. I had a good hold on English and an adequate stock of vocabulary; but still I was not prepared. All I lacked was the confidence in me. I thought to skip it, which no one had ever done it history. I was broken inside. I could not gather the stamina inside to stand up and face everyone and elaborate everything that I had jolted in the slides. I took a few minutes for myself. I sat down and asked myself that was I a loser that I was having thoughts of quitting and giving up. I sat alone and recalled a few incidents from my childhood. I recalled the incident when I assisted my father in confronting robbers in a train and finally we achieved victory over them. I also recalled incidents of my days in scouts and guides. I recalled incidents of my philanthropy and blood donations which saved two lives at different odd situations. I fought against many odds. I didn't fail in them. I was not at all a loser. If I could have stood up against those I became pretty sure to have easily made through the seminar.

I stood up on my turn. I walked and took my stand. I prayed to Almighty for little help. I knew it was just for a few minutes and I would make through it. I spoke out in front of the sitting crowd. It was smooth and unimaginable. I couldn't imagine that it could have been that easy to speak in front of such a huge crowd. I spoke without any preparation and my presentation ultimately brought highest marks in my entire group. I nailed the presentation. It was easy and I finally made through it.

Today in my MBA, I am here giving presentations and speaking fearlessly and confidently.

Thanks to Mountain Dew!! I have learned to rise against fear..

Relieving my Movie list

Protisodh – An Assamese movie which has been directed keeping in mind the depiction of the Assam agitation and the linguistic agitation. Every actor has equally given their best. It is a must watch for every Assamese.

The legend of Bhagat Singh – This movie shows real incidents of bravery of a few national heroes. Most of us hardly have time to remember them. This movie shows few of their acts of bravery and their stamina to carry on the struggle in spite of inhuman british torture. Finally it shows that few people never feared death. For a revolutionary, death is as beloved as his valentine.

Rand De Basanti – A movie on the youths of today. Corruption has become a vital component in the blood of Indian politics. This kind of corruption has even taken many lives. This movie shows the uprising against corruption with a parallel comparison with the revolutionaries who fought for our countries freedom.

LOC-Kargil – There are some people who stay awake all night just to ensure that we sleep peacefully. They are rendering their service at unimaginable epics of temperature. This movie shows the depiction of the 1999 Kargil War, where our country lost many heroes in the battlefield.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose – The forgotten Hero – This movie is a depiction of one of the bravest man of the earth. He is the man who formed his own army to stand against the British rule. We are fortunate enough to have him in our country and unfortunate enough to forget his sacrifice today.

Sharabi – One of the Amitabh Bacchan’s classic movies. With no special attention towards any serious message, this movie should be watched only to see Amitabh Bacchan’s acting.

Daman – One of the best movies on gender equality directed by Kalpana Lajmi. This movie has been directed in Assam. Raveena Tandon has done very good acting.

Dil Chahta Hai – We all as bachelors have wanted to live a damn care life. This movie is reel presentation of all night-outs, trips, tours, bike rides, beaches and holidays.

Sadda Adda – We all have lived in a home far away from home. This movie is a presentation of bachelordom where life means to live in brother’s arms.
