A new day , a new beginning :)

Everyday I get up, thinking to sleep again but the fear of being in the debarred list for short attendance opens my eyes wide & i lose all my sleep :P
The journey begins, being monotonous now, home to station & station to college, yet some elements as they say add spice or fun to life. Seeing people sleep standing in the metro or weirdly dressed people passing smiles or even the arguments  with the autowala's. Thats how i start my day...
Every time i enter that gate , a new sense of enthusiasm is what i feel. Each da brings about new challenges, be it even the small classroom activities , we all find something new about ourselves everyday, something that we never paid attention to. We find a reason to fight against ourself , to strive with the best in us.
We realize no matter how much we crib on the small small things be it the increasing temperature or non-availability of Ac's :P , or the things that completely annoy us , we are here to overcome all of this , to build a brighter future, to be a successful person & not just an uncool geek with all the attention just on academics & none on the non-verbal or expressing skills :)

Respect hard earned.

It feels good when you are appreciated for your work or talent. All your hard work pays off when those words of appraisal reach your ears. Especially when you yourself are not sure whether you have it in you, & somebody else shows that much of faith in you. =)
That feeling in itself is amazing, something you cannot describe in words or gestures.
The sense of admiration that you develop for your own self, with each passing day you feel your standards developing, with your feet firm on the ground & your head rising. You see that respect for you in the eyes of others who never thought of you as a contender. Its a hard slap on their faces who think just appearance is enough to judge a person.
To sum it up:
Its never about the dog in the fight, its about the fight in the dog.

my first ever MUN





24th feb .. row number 2 seat number 5 :D

Entering in that room
With people so new
Delegate of Maldives was a bit too confused :P
Knew nothing of it ,
What I had to do or what should I speak?
Then I asked delegate of Mexico who was sitting right next to me
What should I do ? :P
She told me to keep quiet & listen
I was lost in what was going
& then my chair asked me where was I lost?
Ooops did it show on my face that I wasn’t paying close attention :P
The 1st day came to an end :D
Second day started with pain
Which was caused by those stupid heels :P
Then I talked to more people & made friends to cherish
Delegate of Israel helped me & made me feel at ease
We talked & exchanged our views
A gang we had made by now,
Lots of questions did arise though
But none that could break the new bonds that were formed
The second day ended with a little leg pulling session
Where I was targeted with reasons unknown :P
Yet it was fun because that was better than the moderated caucus
The last day was the best up till now
Singing on the placards’ & writing what all we felt
It was great MUN to be in
The day ended with treat in GIP
Which made all of us come a lot closer
We still are in touch & hope to be forever
May this friendship die never ever :D

I learnt how to tackle crisis & speak without the slangs
& learnt international diplomacy
Seeing the rising demand for the unmod :P
To Behave orderly ,
I May have walked barefoot
All these days but I wouldn’t have bared it if i didn’t had you guys with me
It was a MUN I can never forget
Thanks to all those who made it a memorable event :D

school memories





We were small kids when we joined school
We never had to do anything,
All we used to do was smile & play
No hatred no mind games
We were innocent souls
Just as if jesus was wrapped around our throat
We never hurted anybody nor did we fake any smiles
It was like innocence personified
Then we grew up & learned the tactics
We saw the world at large
Made our groups & partied hard
Our friends were our world
Together we sailed all in the same boat
Sometimes failure sometimes success
That’s how we reached our places
School gave us what we wanted
Taught us & brought us up
Acted like our second mommies
Scolded & gave punishments for doing wrong
& gave us awards if we did something that was not forged
School was like our second home
Gave us all the love & knowledge
To be the best & better than the rest

Those lessons taught by dada &
Those thoughts for the day did make us better
& the classroom studies were always rocking
Those sessions in the labs
Where many of us burnt our hands :P
We learnt something everyday
With teachers so many to guide us through
We can never afford to lose anything about our school !!

Higher education trains your mind to feel good later by making it feel terrible now.


Life that started on a rough edge
When I knew none to sit with
Then came a few
Who wanted to know me &
Tried to talk ,
Though they aren’t with me anyhow :P
Friends I did make but none that I could stick with
The times have changed
I know soo many of them now
People who are genuinely good & not fake
I am surrounded with people all so blessed
Let it be students or our teachers
The environment relaxes you mind
& teaches you how to grow silently
RACHEL, TANAYA , BHUMIKA , NIKHIL
RAHUL, ANUJ, ANISHA, VARUN
KAUSHIK , AYAN,  ANIRUDH , SHREYA
NIKITA, SHANKER, SHEEBA  , all of them are so good
The times we spend together are memories to be kept forever
Be it haldirams or dominoes
Or even the Chinese van next door
We see our foot prints everywhere
Not a place that is left
College is fun to be in
Achieving your goals with people so  learned
Is a blessing for all of us to be a proud part of symbiosis. :D

my first day at college


“Good days are to be gathered like grapes, to be trodden and bottled into wine and kept for age to sip at ease beside the fire. If the traveller has vintaged well, he need trouble to wander no longer; the ruby moments glow in his glass at will.” -  Freya Stark


Passing out from school & starting a new life a new phase which everyone says “college” gives us an identity of being an adult & provides us with much more freedom.
The date not escaping  my memory  it was 23rd December when I started the next part of my “adventurous” life journey called College.
RING RING…not another forward message, I thought as my cell phone vibrated. I checked and realised it was an alarm call. It was 6 am. My God, it was my first day to college. I got up and after hours of mulling on what to wear; I was ready to hit the road that led me to my college.
It was a different feeling all together, remembering my first day at school where I went with a smile on my face to see something new & exciting, my emotions this time were mixed. It was a mixture of nervousness & excitement, previous one for about how it’s going to go, how would my classmates be like, will I make friends? & the later one about my this will be my 2nd abode for the next 5 years.
I fell in love with the campus, landed up talking to a girl to help me reach my class, later realised she was my class mate.
Entered the class seeing so many new faces, I joined late, realised it seeing the little groups that were already formed in the class. Sat on the 2nd bench & found that the students were helpful, they made me see what all had I missed.
The students came from varied places, had different dressing sense, difference in everything. It took me time to actually make out the similarities as observing was my habit. :P  now coming to the faculty the first class I attended that was jurisprudence, it was difficult for me to grab what was going on in the class as I had missed a lot, so I struggled to understand. L
Then happened our 2nd class for that day, English, where Ms shailja got me introduced to the class & made me comfortable in this new environment after which we had our break. The break made me see the corridors filled with students of other classes as well & the canteen which had people who were smiling as if welcoming me, I saw it as positive note to this new beginning.
The last class that day as I clearly remember was taken by our director sir Mr C J Rawandale. For whom I fondly developed a sense of admiration , his way of teaching was better than anyone I had ever seen , his way of interacting with the students & his sense of humour was the element which made me like torts even more :P
It was an experience I will cherish for my life, that will never go out of the list of my fondest memories.
My first day signified the beginning of my career goals.
