Mosquito

A sound buzzed around my ear,

I turned around,  it was a mosquito.

It swayed in the air like a delighted millionaire,

hallucinated? or a life free of fear?

Jealous of vexatious flight, I frowned at it,

reassuring myself, its not envy but the disease.

The twirl in the form of cursive record ,

passing a message?  acting blithe, I ignored.

It took off, sat on the roof,

dived to prick, landing on my foot.

My territory? I smacked, missed by a mile,

hurting more than a foot, defeated I smile.

The flight culminated, it sat on the wall,

out of whim, I snapped it hard.

The force of revenge, fostered the brawn,

A thumping sound, the cadaver fall.

On the wall, there lies a red blot,

A symbol of chagrin,left to clot,

reminds me of the bruised conceit ,

I wonder, who designed this didactic plot?

The other side

 "'Chak de India' managed to deal honestly with a range
of issues that popular cinema has been content to  leave
alone." This was the crux of the article  published in The
 Hindu magazine dated August 26 2007. The writer was able to
 touch a few aspects in a  fairly honest and straightforward
manner but  overlooked a few important aspects. I would like
to  discuss some of them.   The first thing I observed
when I watched the movie is  the role of television media
(specifically the news  channels) in our daily life. The media
left no stone  unturned to slander the character of Kabir Khan,
and  was successful in moulding  the people's outlook  towards a
 specific situation. Can we relate this   observation to the
present scenario of news channels?  With numerous news channels
 being aired, there is  stiff competition among them. To
withstand this  competition, news channels give undue importance to
meagre situations and try to make a mountain out of a
molehill. They present a specific situation in a  generalized
manner. Somewhere in the subconscious mind  of a viewer, the
news channels are able to create a  false impression. How does
this effect normal life? An  example will  make it clear.
 I had a journey planned  from Delhi to Allahabad, during
the Gujjar agitation  in March 2007. News of trains being
cancelled,  agitators smashing train windows, tracks
being  uprooted,  flooded the news channels. Railway
inquiry  reported that everything was normal, but the
 hype  created by NEWS CHANNELS worried my parents
 and I  could clearly see the tension on their faces.
The  stalling of a few trains was projected to be a
situation of a large scale jam of railway routes .  This
movie probably would not impact the situation of
  our news channels but can be an eye opener for  gullible
 viewers.  A short discussion between Kabir  and Vidya
Sharma  caught my attention, the point where they discuss
the   issue of people taking up hockey as
 a profession in  order to get a flat and a job. In ideal
conditions, it  should have been "a player getting a flat and
a job  because he/she is a hockey player". It is just a  matter
 of getting our priorities right. Is it not to   be expected
 that our players should get endorsements  because they play
 to represent our nation, rather than playing to get
endorsements ? Can't our government  work for the
welfare of the people and project true  welfare stories,
rather than putting all their effort  into creating artificial
 success stories and allowing  actual welfare to take a
backseat?  Reservation was introduced to benefit the
underprivileged, but these  days, people want
 reservation so that they do not have  to work too
hard to get education or secure a job.  Clearly, the Indian
 masses today are misplacing their  priorities. To some
extent, the movie has been successful in projecting the
gravity of the situation,  and its detrimental consequences .
These are a few facts that I considered important  enough to
draw your attention to. There may be many  other facts
that demand closer scrutiny, and the  interpretation of the same
is left for the readers.

FAQ’s for Indian college students Part(I)

Q1.) What is an area of interest?

A1.) An ‘Area of interest’ can be defined as a set of subjects that a student studies because his senior studied the same subjects, possibly because his senior’s seniors studied the same subject. The word ‘interest’ holds no significance in the phrase and has right to remain silent.

Other’s define it as a subject which is frequently asked in the interviews and entrance exams.

 

 

Q2) How many area of ‘interest (silent)’ should a student have?

A2) Number of area of ‘interest (silent)’ should be directly proportional to the number of topics on which all the questions on all the online forums have been solved. If you remember answers to all the sample questions, subject knowledge should not be a crucial factor.

 

Q3.) How to choose an Area of interest?

A3.) Following steps are defined to choose an area of interest:-

1. Kill your interest
2. Keep a watch on what the world is doing.
3. Make sure that study material for the subject that is to be chosen as ‘Area of interest’ has been properly compiled by the seniors or your colleagues.
4. Ensure that majority of the people around you are keeping same subject in their area of interest. If necessary feel free to switch the subjects according to the environment.
5. Always remember one thing. Your interest doesn’t matter. Only thing that matters is you should move with the flock of sheep. Beware of the fact that if you try to show your individuality you may be doomed.

 

Q4.) How to score marks in the exams?

A4.) Remember the following rules to score the marks in the exams

1. A book can be defined as a set of pages. Study the subject to learn the matter and avoid understanding the matter. Understanding the subject may be injurious for scoring. Try to study from ready to eat book. These books will guarantee to good marks without any burden of understanding the matter.
2. Make sure that answers are learned ‘word to word’. Your understanding doesn’t matter. Only thing that matters is your ability to spew the subject matter into the answer sheet.
3. Always study till the last minute before the exams. This will help you to keep the volatile stuff in your active memory. As soon as you get the answer sheet put down all the volatile matter on the rough page for future reference.
4. If you don’t have the time to learn the matter, do not worry. Ask your parents to provide you a PDA or a mobile phone with high resolution camera. Click the photographs of hard answers for reference during the exams.
5. Avoid taking slips of papers with you. You may get caught. Use mobile phones either.
6. Last but not the least; make sure that you fill as many answer sheets as possible. The possibility of getting marks increase with increase in the volume of the paper.

 

Q5.) How to improve your score?

A5.)

1. Please ensure that you do not get satisfied with your marks. As soon as you get the paper start eating the mind of the teacher until he goes mad. He will automatically increase your marks to ensure that you leave him. The trick is knows as “parasite trick”.
2. Do not hesitate to compare the answer sheets of your fellow beings. Carry forward the legacy of your parents. This is the cheapest act they did during your schooling and you should not hesitate to perform the same act. In the end what matters are, the marks. Self respect and dignity are tools used by the people who do not possess the ability to suck the blood of the teacher.
3. Some highly sophisticated techniques like performing tasks of peon in the teacher’s chamber can be used. This will not only ensure high marks but a perfect “A” too!

Expression by writing: An outlet for unspoken frustration

The art of writing, giving words to your thoughts, I believe it is the best thing a person can do to communicate his thoughts. It is the power to express unspoken feelings. It is the power to express the feelings that if spoken will always have a negative effect but if written gives a tool to strike the iron when it is hot. And a person who is always ignored and taken for granted I believe writing is the best tool which can be used as a vent for outlet of frustration and an outlet for orthodox feelings.

It is very true that everyone in this world is not same. Each person has his own special characteristics, his own feelings, his own thoughts and his very own personal ways of expressing them. Most of the persons have something or the other characteristics common among themselves that make them come together. It is not these people I wish to talk about but those who differ from the ordinary, the persons whose thoughts are said to be rational, different from ordinary.

These are the kind of people who are often sidelined in any community, and the reason for this behavior is their uniqueness of thoughts. These are the people who are often thought of as unsocial or our society has devised a unique word for them Introvert. They are called so because they do not laugh when others laugh, they do not hang around when others do. They give more importance to their thoughts and feelings than living according to the timetable defined by the others. So as the time proceeds these are the people who feel neglected and for others listening to them is like a cacophonic sound of a crow who always cry for nothing.

Writing can be a very effective tool for them to express their feelings. The very first advantage of writing for them is to give words to what ever they think. Since they are able to give words to their feelings they nourish their expressive feelings. The very nourishment of these expressive feelings helps them in expressing the reason for their rational thoughts and this in turn helps them in understanding themselves. And there can be nothing better than knowing your self inside out. It is cited as the reason for success. Judgment of this skill is the objective of many so called tough interviews, obviously if the bare minimum knowledge level is maintained.

The second advantage of writing is to communicate those feelings by writing which if spoken directly to someone may lead to misunderstanding and may break the strands of relationships or arent much expressive when spoken. Experts site this as a major reason for popularities of love letters and love e-mails in the modern world.

And third and the most obvious advantage is the improvement of writing skills which if accompanied by a systematic revision of vocabulary can drastically enhance the personality traits of a person.

So for all those so called introvert persons go ahead and express your feelings with freedom, without bothering about boring others, without bothering about the so called wise phrase Think twice before you speak because while writing you are speaking to yourself and there is no one whom you need to give the explanation .
