We lost the wings of fire.....

I am still in shocked state thinking about the loss we
have undergone in the past days.... I thought of writing about our dear Lt. A.P.J.Abdul kalam but thought myself to be not deserving enough to write about such a great personality.... But as he always liked to be along the common man it gave me a sense of responsibility to write about him with my heart felt respect ,about a great personality like him.

 I missed an opportunity of a lifetime a few years back....when I missed the bus to be able to meet him face to face ,when he had come to our college, just after he was sworn The President of the country!!! It is like crying over spilled milk but still I feel like I have met him personally. Yes, it is through his books that have imprinted his thoughts and values in me. Reading his WINGS OF FIRE and IGNITED MINDS made me think that he is talking to me!!! I am sure many a followers of his might have felt the same way as me isn't it? I used to feel those wings of fire in me and fuel my dreams through his simple teachings.

 I still remember the day when he was in the contention for the presidential post and everybody was so happy and sure about his win!!! While the whole country was debating about his golden locks,he made sure that he is able to take oath in the presence of the future of the country i.e,the children!!! I think it was his way of inspiring those little minds.... He might have spearheaded so many missile missions in the country but still his only love was to be a simple teacher!!

 He always encouraged us to dream and fulfill our dreams...this makes us think that he supported a talented mind a lot ,in whichever field it may be... He have taught us even with his failures that, never loss hope and u will succeed at last. Till his last breath he tried to convey his precious thoughts to us.

 Today he might not be with us but still his teachings will always remain with us and continue to enrich us. May his soul rest in peace...

My New Year Resolution!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE Oh my God!!! We all entered another year. I remember I stared my previous year on a very positive note and wish to do so this year as well. I know the path I have chosen will bring me towards more happiness and continue to do so . But this time I shall make myself count for the promise I shall fulfill this year is to Read some good books. I had read some last year but I don't think it was satisfactory. So I shall make myself richer in knowledge this year for sure. If there is night, there shall also come a day to shine and spread your light to the entire world.

Away with the awkwardness!!!!

When we are at  a new place, meeting a new person or situation, there is a sense of awkwardness in the air.  It cannot be helped , it's bound to happen to introverts mostly. But there are so many new ways of avoiding them or breaking the ice, isn't it. Thanks to social media, it's so easy. It's so easy to write or "like" maybe , to starting being familiar.  But there are situations which cannot be avoided , which arises meeting face to face. Like for example , this is a students birthday , I was invited to. The family is our neighbors as well . I am familiar with the family too but I didn't know how to face the situation. So I helped serving the kids after the party, rather than sit at a corner like a strict teacher. I don't know what impression I might have put on others but I was relieved at that very moment. That's the way I pulled out of that situation. I don't think its bad to behave a little relaxed as such. It's good fo...

Wood making a comeback!!!!

I have never doubted the strength of things of the older times. Whether it is older structures or the strength of our previous generations. They will always remain forefront. It's our belief in them that we again and again go back to the things of the past and make it a part of our present life. Like ,I thought that culottes was so fresh fashion. But when I saw the 70's actress wearing it,its like cool!!!! It's the same thing with wood.  They are thinking of cars made of wood, which would be lighter and stronger!!! Such a cute little modern twist to the age old Chariot!!!! I always think that ,everything is good if it is in sync with the environment. Do I have a wish for anything of the past to make a comeback, then what it would me???? Umm.. Telephones may be...
