There was a time when i couldn't dare even to think,but I didn't know there are people who can beat me even in this.Hats off for them.That happiness,those joyous moments,everything gone in just a click.Thanks.But no problem,I have other reasons to be happy.At least a bit of 'Environment Impact Assessment ' can be done.
There are Spoken English institutes in India,some people need them badly.
The ice broke and melted,but the temperature again reached -100 degree celsius.No worries, summer is not far away.
Charles Darwin was very correct when he discovered the theory of 'Survival of the Fittest'.
I have to go,and run the race of becoming the fittest.

The opportunity finally grabbed
A day as normal as any other day in Goa.In fact,I woke up a little late,performed all the necessary tasks faster.The same daily monotonous routine,that same classroom for some time,then some work in the Modernization department,same pathetic lunch.Again some time in the classroom followed by a 15 minute walk on the same roads to spend some time at the same old 'Temptations',for just a new 'grilled sandwich'(this was the only thing new till 1630).But my horoscope indicated something new and much bigger was waiting.
It all started after rejecting Ashu's football plan and Gupta and Abpa's call for 'Jhopdi'.Abpa was clever at identifying my frustrations when I just started to throw stones at nothing.Then started the conversation that created magic(although it was almost one-sided).After 2 hours at 'Jhopdi' and another 1 outside the cafe,things improved a lot(or it became worse for me,I lost my hunger and had several natural calls).
And finally it was a call by mistake that gave me the strength.My strength that time was my normal guts^my age(although 20 rounds from 'AH2 common room to the road to the institute' completely opposes this).The chronological order of the things reversed, but finally everything was done,which is more important.
Probably, a happy ending.

There is always a first time for everything in life
Does sharing silence really mean that two people are good friends??
I didn't know prestige was more important for me than money and power.16% is not small,but it depends a lot on the part which is under consideration.The end 16% seem too small and the initial 16% passes by without much trouble.
Was that status message thing just a mere coincidence or did it really imply co-relation empowered by destiny.Is it that my association(too heavy for now) with it attracts people to me?If this is the case,let these people play their own games.I am happy that one person is unaware of this and when that person comes to know this,probably he/she will be delighted.:):):)

Engineering
As the results of IIT,AIEEE and and of course BITSAT(the only engineering entrance examination in INDIA which gives on the spot scores) are out,people have started inquiring about the cut-offs for various branches and colleges.Although students with very good ranks do not waste their time in inquiring about other colleges,students with a mediocre rank in JEE are the most confused,I suppose.They can't decide whether to go for the brand-name IIT or for their penchant branch,in any other college.Is it better not to be selected for IIT than getting an under 2500 rank?
Mohit called me and quickly briefed me all the options he had.He expected me to suggest him the best of the options in one go.How could I do that?Means there should be some basis.His interests,his passions,his life and he wanted me to direct it.I told him,I needed to talk to him.By the way,how would a 17 year old know,what to go for in an engineering college.Its a tough decision.Even I,after being surrounded by engineers and to-be-engineers for two long years and after studying some courses of all the disciplines,if given a choice to select an engineering stream,would be a difficult task for me.But atleast,I know what I can do and makes me sleep.And here comes the solution.
Mohit's BITSAT score is 265,4100+ in AIEEE.I had to suggest him something.I discussed the situation with my friends.It was a good discussion,outside the cafeteria,with cool breeze blowing and nobody feeling the bite of mozzies(mosquitoes,recently completed reading Chetan Bhagat's third book) as everybody was so involved in the discussion.Some of us argued that following the trend was the best option.But I was totally against the system.According to me,trend follows placement and should one go for a discipline because it pays you the highest.Should a top scorer in BITSAT go for Computer Science just because it has the best placement stats.What if he gets screwed up writing C-codes and even gets stuck-up with the hardware.Then scoring a 10 and making a transfer is the only solution,which remains a dream for most.
I had a soluton,though it surely needs amendments.The first year of the engineering program should cover two courses from every discipline and then based on the performance in those courses and the preferences of the students,branches should be alloted to the students.Secondly,colleges should stop disclosing their placement stats.This will help the students a lot.

Sisters are closer to their brothers,or I feel so for self solace.
Taking something from someone I expected from someone else.It's Goa's birthday-should I celebrate or the flag is still to be hosted?The first two levels are cleared but the the feather is still missing from the cap.
Settling with the mediocre or waiting for the best-both are risky.
People have started visiting me and that too just,just for me or I still fear negligence?
Have i become possessive??The fire needs to be spread.
'Excess of everything is bad'.

Successfully Unsuccessful
Shampooing in the wash basin, trying to smile without showing teeth,getting up early for no reason,waiting for THAT day thirstily,glad to hear Mr.Deshpandey's decision(Manager,HRD(Goa Shipyard Limited),enthusiastically becoming a debtor,wanting to walk behind that,eagerly waiting for a chance to help that,breaking that promise(blocking the way of fulfilling the promise),sometimes feeling elevated,sometimes pressed down,conversing more and finding opportunities for even more.Thinking more and more on issues,making a plan and avoiding it.Feeling the self-importance when one puts hand around the neck and then just a click of that-and every feeling suppresses-a week with mixed feelings.
