Love-Tech /Tech-love

We all know how smartphones have revolutionised our lives.All my friends are connected to me via various social networking sites like Facebook,Google plus, Twitter.We have access to instant messaging services like WhatsApp ,Hike,Telegram and many more .Most popular of them  is undoubtedly WhatsApp .Few months back WhatsApp introduced an option of "Blue Tick" in WhatsApp which meant that the person has seen the message after it has been delivered to that person.It was a centre of  controversy and lead to the fall of many relationships .The reason behind it was that if   the sender did not get a reply even after there is a "blue tick" which meant that the message was "seen" the sender would interpret it as a "sign of betrayal" against him or her.Strange! Even before the advent of smartphones technology there was   an emotion called "Love" which only required "trust" between two people.Nowadays it has become "love tech" /"tech love".Last evening I had a bit of situation closed to being a "conflict" (No we  did not have a direct conflict) .The central point of this situation was that I couldn't recognize that it was her friend on WhatsApp chat and I had presumed that I was chatting  to the owner of the smartphone.Strange! While I told the smartphone owner if she is  serious about me,then she should decide who should have her phone in her hand.I mistrusted her just because of a stupid smartphone. Strange! After she started sobbing ,I realized I have hurt her.The guilt is still there in my heart even though I have said Sorry multitude number of times and she has forgiven me .I don't know whether I will be able to forgive myself ever simply because  I had mistrusted "my dearest one" just because of  a stupid smartphone technology.

Journey in a General dabba

Every one in India who has travelled in a "General Dabba" of Indian Railways will relate to this blog.I have travelled in a "General dabba" twice in my life .Yes ,not once but twice .Trust me ,I am not kidding at all.Once you enter the compartment ,you will see everything so scattered inside it.Its worse than my own bedroom which is far less scattered & far more cleaner than a "General Dabba".But getting inside it can also be an arduous task itself .You hardly get any chance to set your feet inside it.Once you enter inside it,you will see people occupying each &  every  corner .What's worse they occupy the toilets as well.I salute those people who can survive inside a railway toilet. Hats off,seriously .The people who can sleep while they are standing are great.But those who can do so in a "General Dabba" are far greater .The ceiling  fans which will work only if they feel like.At last, I will say that even though I haven't been to hell even once but still from the description I have heard about hell,"General dabba" fits into that perfectly .

Nothing has changed,yet something has changed

Today i went to college .After a long summer vacation,I went to college.Many thoughts were running through my mind. On my way to   college,I witnessed the usual chaos,same traffic.When I stepped inside the college ,I had an unusual vibe.I met some friends .As I was climbing up the stairs, I  saw the  class room of  EC 4 th Year .I looked there ,smiled a bit.Afterall I had some memorable experiences over the past few months with  my lovely seniors of EC 2k15 batch.Then i reached my classroom.I was wondering,just few months back i had been   priviliged to meet my fabulous branch seniors(2k15 batch) ,who studied in same classroom. A senior faculty member was already there .I sat through the lecture.Suddenly i felt like crying ,smiling at the same time but couldn't do any of that.i attended all my lectures.I coordinated Literary cell's meeting . Then I reached my home.Now I realize I am part of seniormost batch of our college.As they say with great power,comes great responsibility.I know I have to a bit more mature in every thing ,activity I do..Truly "Nothing has changed yet something has changed"...#1day1stshow #BtechFinalYearStudent #SeedheDilSe

Free advice(Conventional Wisdom)

Most of us come face this statement at least once  ---"Sharma Ji ka beta Engineer bna hai,vo bhi IIT se .Uska package 20 lakh hai.Main bhi apne bete ko IIT mein dekhna chaahta" .The scenario may vary,the name may change from Sharma to Verma or anyone else but the crux remains same .We are living in a society of morally & emotionally   uneducated  people ,where everyone is adviced to do something or the other irrespective of what we want .If I tell my mother that love marriage is more successful as we are aware of or life partner .She has one answer ---"Tum Abhi badhe ni hue ho.Apni marzi se shaadi krne vaalon ki life barbaad ho jaati  "etc etc.I am the younger sibling so  I am offered free advice for everything ."Beta tu padh le ,beta aaj padh lo,40 k hokar aish hi aish kroge,beta kaayde se hug le(pun intended) ,beta ye ,beta vo." When I interacted with my fellow students ,I found it was a situation which everyone faces.Every elder person advices the younger person .Its like a free advice offered to everyone .This is what I term as "Conventional Wisdom" , a wisdom as per the conventions.As I am writing this blog ,my mum is yelling at me "Padhai vagarah krta ni ,saare din phone p lga  rehta(Practical example of Conventional wisdom  )"So I will stop typing ,.........Maa main jaa RHA nahaane....

The "One"

All those who know me closely ,know that I am absent from "common emotions " and don't let them overpower me. Few days back my mausi asked me --"Palash(My nickname) do u have a gf"?I answered in negative.I was in a deep thought for a long time about who is "the one". Then I got the answer ,who she could be.The " one" I always crave for must have some distinct qualities.She must an engineer probably from electrical /electronics(or both) engineer.She must be very talkative but also be  a good listener.I would love to date a non-pahadi girl.If she is a good dancer,it would be better because I am a decent singer(Opposites attract ).She may not have a good communication skill but when I look at those eyes,I must feel answers to all my questions in those eyes .She must me naughty & Decent at the same time .As I hardly panick ,she must have an opposite nature(so that I can calm her down).She should not be arrogant ,I hate these kinda people .If she is studious ,it would be better because I am not studious at all .She should have a helpful nature.Lastly I will say she should be someone who makes me feel that I have  some good reason for my  existence .Maybe I know  "the one" ,maybe not.Maybe she knows me ,maybe not.Maybe ,maybe.........Considering  about all these specifics ,I prefer being single because "maybe" I don't get a girl like this ...Final answer is again "maybe "

Envy Vs Jealosy

""Envy" vs "Jealousy".Yes I am going to throw light on these commonly used words.Most of us consider them as synonyms but they are slightly different .I will cite my own feelings as an example .Envy is what I experience when I see people who get selected in tier 1 B school and when they get to live a really glamorous B school Student life and finally when they become business professionals.Now let's talk about " Jealousy" .I love a girl .The girl puts a dp  with an weird guy.I don't feel like talking to her .I feel like Blocking her forever .Even though I am a strong advocate of having gender diversity at workplace ,school ,colleges and have always said that girls and boys must have equal rights and privileges. But when it comes to this girl my own principles about gender Diversity become self contradictory .I feel that her dp  with only girls or a groupfiee with friends is worth seeing.So finally I will conclude by saying that Envy is about a "desire to  possess" what other person has .Jealousy is Fear of losing our "someone special".

So "Tagged"??????

Today I write about "Tag" .Yes a "tag".Confused ????I will scrutinize a "tag" we commonly face on very social networking sites like "Facebook"," Instagram" etc etc. A "tag" is like an "EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL". Once a friend tags me ,then I have to  "like it" or "Comment on it". We become morally(Or Psychologically)  obliged to do so.Let me clarify I am NOT AT ALL AGAINST anyone tagging me.But if I have absolutely No relation to the pic(like a groupFie) then what is the use of tagging me.Most of the tags I receive are  in a selfie . We cannot do anything because if we oppose it ,then we feel that our friend may feel bad and that's why I Call it an " emotional blackmail" and ultimately we have to "like it" or "comment  on it" .I don't know a solution to it but I know its a part of our life or rather a " Way of Life".So "Tagged" ,isn't it????........

What is "matter" for me???

Everyone of you will  give various definitions of MATTER,when I ask what is "matter" according to you .For a 7 th or a 8th standard student ,"matter" is something that occupies space,volume, or specifically it is  solid,liquid or gas.For a 10th ,11th or 12 th standard student ,"matter" is like having a direct fight with your enemies.Obviously those "enemies" are none other than his own classmates or coachingmates ,all those who he doesn't see eye to eye and "fight"is nothing else than  a fist fight .For an engineering student, the "matter " is the person of opposite gender.Specifically a girfriend.Amongst all the definitions of "matter" this one  intrigues me the most.Entire btech  1 st year ,I coudnt find a girl suited to be my "matter".The same story continued continued in 2 nd ,3 rd year and now I have made myself a no "matter person.Obviously I had many crushes but no crush turned into a fixed "matter".Few months back I was very close to having a "matter",(*seriously committed matter) but still I ask myself time to time -----"What is matter for me"???
