An Ordeal with the Jawan !

As the twilight drew close that pretty 24th september evening heartbeats started pumping nostalgia from core within.The city of joy,kolkata prepared the theme for musaifr to recollect the energy silently with a holiday for him from his challenging,fast moving life plying between sector 1 to 5.I boarded azad hind to kickstart another ghar aaja pardesi kind of trip back home on vacation.My train slated to reach hometown next morning around 5:30 Am,am lying in wavering dreams of having sweets and mamma made delicies on top berth aloof from any insecurity to my belongings in train.Suddenly someone sounded unusally loud,Champa station aa gaya,coming out of dream,I woke up looking at my wrist watch I was sporting even while sleeping,It was 5:38 Am to be precise,am still cursing that bastard to wake me up from such a sweet dream to find myself in trouble of my sudden and prompt reaction,Had I even over shoot my destination I would have easily come back with some delay in reaching home,The train was already moving by then and I was helpless with no option but to stop the train by using Self service Brake ” To Stop Train Pull Chain “…...which always fascinated me since childhood.I Came out to see the TTE,Guard & few men from GRP standing at the gate of the my train in RAIGARH station(sadly A station Before my destination ) ~~~~
“Kaun Khicha hai chain…” ~~~Till date since childhood chain Khichna referred to the Chain at Trousers meant for the Pee thing whenever Required Anyhow the gentleman and clam Engineer within me Woke up which smelling the Trouble ahead behaved modestly.
“Maine Khicha hai chain “…I said~~~ As if its my birthright..may be if not birthright atleast its meant for people like me in that situation
“Kyau ! ” (Why) ~~~ Angrily said one of the RPF men
“I was in Deep sleep,I had to drop at champa station and its almost the time for my destination 5:40 Am”`~~~I am giving honest Reasons now
“Kahin bhi chain khich doge ,tumhari saas ka gadi samjha hai ka “~~~RPF man Yelled again, in typical bhojpuri tone
Train was moving by now and I was amidst 7-8 Rascals bargaining the price I had to pay for my Deed,forwhich they first had to prove me wrong,which was nothing more than a mistake,But for Mistake you have to pay a PRICE always
“Jaante ho 6 Mahine ka Jail aur 10,000 jurmana hota hai”~~~ I am quiet completely,to my own Surprise, with no signs of fear or tension within.
“Chalo tumko Bilaspur le kar jana padega ” ~~~ Fattening his chunk of tobacco on hand
“Iska Reporting hota hai pura ” ~~~ now chewing the same like a Cow
“Kya jawab denge hum, kyu khicha hai chain”~~~Fake show of concern for Indian Railways
“Arey biwi chut jaye, baccha reh jaye toh samajh bhi aata hai “~~~ He sounded very mischievious now
“Sala yeh toh accha case ban gaya hai “~~~Feeling great about the cash he would claim & recieve from me now
They took me to next compartment where one more RPF men was sleeping after selling all Horses,Ghoda Bech kar so rha tha..one of the rpf man says to one whoz sleeping~~~
“Ehi Utho,Dekhte nahi ho Cain Pulling ho gaya hai , tum so rahe ho, hum itne mushkil se pakad kar laye hai”~~~as if he as caugth the most dreaded criminal whom even InterPol is Chasing and He need his help to do justice to the nation
Soon Three more TTE’s joined the big league of 7-8 officials around me showing fake concern for Railways as if I have done a terrorist attack ,which is nothing more than a claim for their share in the price I had to pay somehow as end result,I don’t want to waste my time settling on the matter from bilaspur and coming back from there to my destination to live my small holiday.I took aside one of the RPF man while others inciting their objection about the punishment and actions to be taken and to take me to Railway regional HQ for action,left for their rounds in train for chase of similar culprits rather Prey like me.I am close to reaching my destination CHAMPA its 6 Am now.
“”Dekho dada bolo kya karna hai “”~~~~ just taking to him one corner , I am DADA now(elder bro of bengal)
“”Jaoge bilaspur”" ~~~~~asks rpf men,now he came to point ,sounding like how much could I pay
“Mai toh champa mein utrooonga ! “~~~ I said in a funny sounding tone
“Kaise utroge, Reporting hota hai na iska, Dekhte nahi ho kitne log hai, sabka muh band karna padega na”~~~
“Teen mahine ka kaid hota hai aur 3000 jurmana “~~~ he automatically came down from 6 months to 3 months and 10k to 3k.
“Itna toh nahi hai” ~~~~I said like a typical Engineer, as if I am doing any favour to him by paying him, but actually I was.
“Kitna hai”~~~Now that bastard came to the point from where the ball was in my court
“saw rupaye (100 Bucks) “~~~~I said,for once I thought that to be too clumsy,for someone demanding 3k I am offering just 100 bucks
“Rama Rama Rama aaise kam nahi chalega na, itna log Ka muh band karna hai “~~~ he said beating his head as if her close aquantance has left this world
“Hum akela hota toh kab ka chod diya hota ” ~~~
“Ticket dikhao” ~~~~He wrote my name, phone number, address and PNR number as if that will scare me
“I dont have 3000 now, I will pay you at champa station, But not 3k,I said I will pay 500 “~~~
“1000 kar do dada ” ~~ now I am dada for him, the tone of speech has changed now, which I refused to pay,I was firm on 500, still I havn’t paid him a single Penny yet.
I informed dad on cel about everything while he was there to recieve me in station with one of his nearby acquaintances,a little influencial person.I came out at champa staion and that RPF man came out with me to get his money which was decided to be 500 bucks.
My dad acquaintance said to RPF man watching him coming down with me,I think he knew the RPF men, ” I came to knw that my child had some trouble in train,whats the matter..”
RPF man a little scared now , says ~~~~”Kya Mahraj , aapka baccha hai kaise takleef ho sakti hai ”
“Theek hai fir chalte hai “”~~~~~ said my dad’s aquaintance..
“Mahraaj bahut log hai train mein “~~~ said clumsy RPF men
“Dekho aage se baccha log Ko pareshani nahi honi chhahiye,yeh 200 rakho,ab hum chalte hai ” ~~~RPF man leaves without shame.
This is what all I had to face for using something that is meant for the convenience of Common man,had someone else been there in my position with no aquaintance to any influential person ,would have bore ardent consequences like being thrown from train,Illogical torture & harrassment thereby making him pay huge sum.Let alone think of the purpose for which those RPF men are meant for in Trains.
No surprise to what happened recently with group of WB girls returning from kerela. Man in Uniform Sold His Duty in mere 200 Bucks
Whats your say?????

Day 1 @ Cognizant !

The bold Joining Humour

After a long wait,When the life was already a DAGLING POINTER, this day has come nothing more than a surprize when “one fine day ” My rediff mail box brought me the news that read ”Cognizant Welcomes you“.I felt, oh ! they still remmeber me.I had proved that I have successfully passed my Engineering degree (for those who never saw my gradeseets) and 2 yrs back the party that I threw celebrating “Day Zero“ offer wasn’t a bluff.Anyways waiting for something one desire for deerly and dearly is always tuff.This wait accompanied opportunities for some with New bussiness avenues , like Agriculture and Dairy farming( being the only ones with some scope for Business) & frustration n apprehension for some.Anyways most of us with Day Zero offers did nothing for the last 11 months, in short..Lets stop giving excuses.Then Came a seemingly endless search for our batchmates in So called sites Which are BLUE in clolour. And to most of the joinee males apprehension grew strong for a boring life ahead, not to find intresting gals around in those Blue background sites.Anyways there are still , lots dynamic men in business around for a great work life ahead.. was the only funda with what they could console themselves anyhow.Finally the said day came when We had a date with our talent manager.The morning scene;8:30AM ;Monday morning at the gate of TCPX facility;security folks welcomed me,handing over my PEHCHAAN PATAL (Identity card) …..;Welcome to BENGLISH culture, enough of hinglish.. Time for a change.The day1 delight , started with induction formalities , signing lots of papers with ma PARKER pen,felt as if am CEO now.Then came were individual and group games. Now that was fun coz the games that test teamwork with linguistically different people has a great humour in itself; folks disucssing plan in bengali and every conversation sounds “kakrokaro che” or Chockroach….Now the best of ma experiences were the song in bengali sung by a batchmate”Bhalolage bandhu“; which changed my perception about the language from harsh to soothing. Now, am in the self heard singing mode to this bangla number.
(Although I dont understand the lyrics now but a feet tapping music…..somehow I tried to remember the first 3 lines of the song)
Bhalolage sapnire mayajaal bunte;

Bhalolage uiyaakashed tara gunte;

Bhalolage meghladini nishpaloke rondhanu khuchte;

…………..Bondhu !

A Walk To Remember

A walk to remember.
A walk with my training facilitator to MS SQL SERVER 2005.

That Beautiful face with a firm soft voice , spelling intricate lessons on technology that I don't know and that I feared learning at some part of life for I may not understand it well.

A 20 minutes walk , way back home which felt her fragrance as walking together discussing life, introducing each other with scope of new technologies in today's times thinking of the world,I started to think about her World,with small family centric girl daily walking to office to deliver intricate lessons, that walk at twilight is still a part of my sweet , quixotic memoir with Avantika's ambience in it;that lifts the passion to be into another world altogether above from practicality of this life.
Thanks for making me Re-live that Golden Past.

Let me live in that world itself , don't wanna come to light for it has no fragrance of Goodness in it.

Wait !

Life has become a wait for a new start !
After living a life at the formula 1 speed the hamara bajaj speed seems a little frustrating.In a quest to attain the same speed according to NEWTON's law of STATICS, searching for new avenues amidst those downtrodden looks and behaviour of folks in and around home for Contracted berozgar Engineer who has already spent huge bucks on studies ,I find myself in a war of ideas and thoughts some inculcating attitude of being an engineer and some showing the Mirror. I always find a Stranger in Mirror of my thoughts,a new human being withing my AKS. A spiritual guru, an Industrialist and an Environmentalist together an impossible combination ever thought of on earth.I can all say if the wait doesn't end soon a Rare combination is on wait to sprout.

An Industrialist.
An Entrpreneur.
A service provider.
A milkman.
You see what all an engineer can think of for a career :p

Sabjiwala's Dilema

A bright cool spring morning with beautiful breeze blowing . A perfect time enculcating cozy feelings of Loving times in college.The Day started well and what could be more better than having morning cup of tea in hand , national news channel on TV set and family besides.what I call an Ideal morning.On one such Ideal morning,NDTV's gorgeous news reporter delivers something on sabjiwala's that struck my attention.
She reports, this season Punjab farmers witnessed the bumper Potato crop and uttarakhand witnessed a bumper tomato crop.Their Dilema is how to get out invested capital back let alone think of making benefit.The corp Produce is so huge that Prices of these daily consumables have fallen below Re 1 per KG.

""Bhai sahab ek Kilo aalu aur tamatar khet se baazar tak lane mein ek rupaye kharch hojate hai...fir fasal lagane se lekar pakne tak khaad, pani aur majdoori alag."" Say's a modest Farmer.

I wonder why Maggi tomato ketup maufacturers and potato chips giant Uncle chips and Lay's selling same potato @ Rs 100/KG in form of chips with modest inputs , haven't yet took a benefit of the situation for mutual benefit of the Farmer's and consumers for their finished products like Tomato Ketchup and Potato chips. I can only estimate a good platform for the farmers to sell their bumber crop with marginal profits is missing.A proper help from the state government thereby promoting local Ketchup and chips maufacturer.And why not to transpot them to other parts of the country where Prices of these potato and tomato are somewhere in range of Rs 10 per KG. Atleast Transpotation costs won't be more than Rs 3 Per Kg to even the remotest location in India.
This will not only help few to get Employment but even help farmers not to commit sucides out of loans there by giving relief with their Farm products sale.Will not only allow us as consumers to have theie daily use consumable at cheaper prices which noticed a high price in matket during weak crop season.Anyways this just reminds me of a Dialogue from movie SHAURYA where the Actress ,A journalist in a national Daily yells an officer "apna KAAM karo yar "...I hope folks sitting on top of ADMINISTRATIVE levels w'd hv Heard this Dialogue or even this NEWS.

SSB INTERVIEW

MY EXPERIENCE IN SSB INTERVIEW FOR INDIAN NAVY !

DAY ZERO: 

We reached yashwantpura main station at 5:30 hrs on 26^th January amidst no hallucination for republic day seeming much of the interest of north Indians only. Anyhow we got a decent room in hotel at “kotton pet” near bank of Mysore at moderate rents. While priyank goyal decided to sleep at room, me n gaurav kotaida (priyank n gaurav being other accompanies for interview with me)decided to explore our first experiences in the India’s biggest metro and have a feel of republic day at army HQ of nation. Visited vishwasriya technological & industrial museum, cubbonpark,vidhan sabha bhawan (only place where we found the tricolor hoisted in Bangalore) and then finally reached a place more of our interest , birds arena, commercial street in evening with full of fantasies of branded showrooms and chicks. Its known here that when u throw a pebble upon air falling down it will either hit a dog or an IT professionals, such is the number of IT pro.here.We returned to hotel by 9 :30 pm and had uttapam ,cooked deliciously from a road side vendor having ice cream after a walk in return to hotel room.Next day we had to report to 12 SSB at 3 pm, while we visited more places in city before that time since morning like ISKON temple.

DAY ONE:

2:30 PM, 12 SSB candidates labeled Bus arrived Bangalore city main station.A military peroson started with loud scolding ”Jaldi karo Bus mein saaaman dalo aapna apna”,”Jagah na mile toh khade hi jana padega, 70 admioon ki bus hai , tum aaye ho 100 se zyaada” !I felt like the testing started for individual from this point itself, but it was fun with students hailing from all parts of country like Bhuj, vishakapatnam, cochin, agartala , jammu, Bhopal, Chennai, ernakullum Chhatisgarh and all prefinal year and final year engineering students , everyone has a story to recite about their Boring teachers and college fun.Upon reaching the SSB again scolding started “Jaldi karo aur wahan shade ke niche bath jaao”.Filling forms for personal Details and travel charges reimbursement form and other announcements and undertakings form. This form filling procedure itself judges your ability as an officer hoe appropriate you are in filling your personal details. Mind it candidates have doubts in filling these personal forms as well.Briefing from the SSB hostel warden, SHM who is a hard military dressed man shouting all the time on disciplinary actions of the heavy attendance of candidates on first day(100+).Mind it he will brief you a very comfortable stay but your are not intended for comfort here at SSB for next 4 days of stay.We were free after these formalities for some hours before 6 PM the closing time of SSB after which candidates are not allowed to move out.

DAY 2:

Morning 5 AM , hostel warden with a huge kettle of Tea on hand shouts ”Utho, Chai peeyo, paani chalu hai, jaldi jaldi taiyar ho jaao” No movement from students, “AAre bhai UUTHo”…. Shouts again!! After crow bath and all night insomnia due to bed bugs all over in 12 SSB Barrack beds , had simple and light breakfast with bread toast jam and butter with a glass of milk and Boiled eggs for Non veggies.We had 3 continuous tests, 45 Que each 25 minutes, testing quantitative skills, English and intelligence and general perception tests.Next we had to under go Psychological test which consist 60 SRT, situation reaction tests in 45 minutes, where we have to give how we would react to a particular situation mentioned in the question. Situations are very common but the reaction differ largely among students and it’s a test of psychology taken by psychology scientist and no chances of bluffing is there of any sort, remember it’s not the test of you English.Next is 60 WRT, word reaction test, a word is projected for 5 sec on screen and have to write a first meaningful sentence that comes in mind watching that word that comes in intervals of 10 sec, 4 words per minute and 60 words continuously.After so many questions and testing you are almost Fade up and ur energy levels are deteriorating since morning wake up call at 5 AM , arranging water for basic amenities and reaching testing arena at 7, testing start at 8 AM and now at 11 pm you are completely off after 120 aptitude question 120 SRT and WRT .Next stage in rounds starts of a PPT i.e. picture perception test to test and write a story on the basis of your perception. Picture displayed for 15 sec and is very blurred and unclear image; write a story in next 10 minutes on it.And I must say One can cheat with others but can not HIDE/CHEAT himself from his own self and that’s how SSB people judge you.Next you have GD session and stress on General etiquettes, body language and your imagination being aggressive and positive is rewarded any negative thinking and destructive mindset can be clearly spotted by interviewing body from your story and its recitation during GD. Loud , aggressive and Clear mindset with sound energy levels and confidence wins.

ALL IS A TEST OF YOUR IMAGINATION, THINKING, ENERGY LEVELS, PRESENCE OF MIND AND PSYCHOLOGY.

One pm we had lunch and soon results were announced for first stage of selection. All the procedures and way of conduct is purely military disciplined and well managed. Upon calling my chest number I had to speak loud standing on a white square box in front as ”Devesh Agrawal first July Eighty five” clearly showing energy level and mind set of the candidate.

Unselected candidates had been dropped to railway station by SSB bus. we were free after this and could roam in city and we did it daily at commercial street , garuna and central mall.

DAY 3:

Chest No 42  : First Round Selected ones , Goes into the record books of 12 SSB Banglore

Some had interview and some had ground tests.

Personal interview question are from your family background, your records and school from 10^th to 12^th and your entire engineering career, your activities , you hobbies and extra curricular achievements are counted heavily here. Knowledge of current political and social affairs, and ones personal view on a global issue like global warming, terrorism etc. are asked. Thus a sound knowledge, good communication skills, basic body language, energy level and officer like etiquettes are highly sought in interview that lasts anywhere around 30-45 minutes upon satisfaction of the interviewer to judge you fully. They don’t want to miss out any deserving candidate.

DAY 4:

Ground tests include military planning and discussion where in a small operation layout to combat enemies if shown and a discussion is to be done and group is required to come to a particular conclusion. GD on two general topics for 10 minutes is conducted one after other. Next we had to deliver a lecture on a small topic given instantly preparing for 5 minutes and speaking for 5 minutes.ALL these things are done in groups of 7-10.Next we had obstacle passing and other tests using “Balli” , “Patta ” and “Load” based on simple principle of Leaver and fulcrum. They are meant to gauge the leadership qualities and communication skills among a group.Same tests dividing it in subgroups are meant to have a closer watch at the individual. A sound energy level and presence of mind showing good leadership qualities can be a good cause of your selection. Last is individual obstacles like high jump , road jump, double ditch jump, and tarjan jump that tests the individual qualities like hard work and fitness levels.For another long tiring day of continuous ground tests one needs to be mentally alert and Physicaly fit and High on eneygy levels at any point of time in a day.

DAY 5:

Results of the candidates being referred to army, navy and air force for induction to its services by SSB are announced after small conference , a formal visit to all the interviewing officers like Vice president, psychologist, ground test in charge and other members sit and collectively decide about referring a candidate for induction to armed services.I was conference out on final day and I was very happy to have witnessed this best and satisfying testing procedures, out of last 45 candidates left after first phase , 9 were recommended and they all deserved it I believe.A SSB conference out candidate is not so that he is not appropriate for anything in life, its just that the required quality that they sought in you to be a officer in elite Indian armed forces is either not present in you or you failed to show it. We have next chance again to apply in response to advert. And to show the required potential as they say.For recommended students have to undergo strict medical fitness test and merit list to be commissioned in armed forces.

I am happy to have undergone a genuine testing procedure as a guest of Indian government and to know my potential with candidates coming from all parts of the country and I know working upon with my first experience at SSB I can materialize it to a good Rank in armed forces but to live up some other’s dreams one has to sacrifice with something and decision is entirely dependent on an individual if he would live a life in pride for his nation and its service or as a civilian for his family.

A CANDIDATE COULD HAVE MISSED DELIVERING A QUALITY IN HIMSELF BUT SSB COULD NOT MISS ANY QUALITY THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THERE SERVICE AND IS SHOWN BY YOU IN 4 DAYS OF JUDGEMENT.

DEVESH AGRAWAL

इस बार नही !

इस बार नही 

इस बार जब वो छोटी सी बच्ची मेरे पास अपनी खरॉच लेकर आएगी 

मै उसे फू-फू कर नही बहलाऊगा,पनपने दूँगा उसकी टीस को !

इस बार जब मै चेहरॉ पर दर्द लिखा देखूँगा,नही गाऊँगा गीत पीड़ा भुला देने वाले !

दर्द को रिसने दूँगा, उतरने दूँगा अंदर गहरे ,

इस बार मै ना मरहम लगाऊँगा,

ना ही ऊठाऊँगा रुई के फाहे,

और ना ही कहूँगा के तुम आँखे बंद कर लो, गर्दन उधर कर लो मै दवा लगाता हूँ!

दिखने दूँगा सबको खुले नंगे घाव,

इस बार जब उलझने देखूँगा,छ्टपटाहट देखूँगा, नही दौड़ूँगा उलझी डोर लपेटने

उलझने दूँगा जब तक उलझ सके!

इस बार नही... 

इस बार कर्म का हवाला देकर नही उठाऊँगा औज़ार

नही करूँगा फिरसे एक नयी शुरुआत,

नही बनूंगा मिसाल एक कर्मयोगी की,

नही आने दूँगा जिंदगी को आसानीसे पटरी पर,

उतरने दूँगा उसे कीचड़ मे, टेढ़े-मेढ़े रस्तो पर

नही सूखने दूँगा दीवारों पर लगा खून,

हलका नही पड़ने दूँगा उसका रंग,

इस बार नही बनने दूँगा उसे इतना लाचार

के पान की पीक और खून का फ़र्क ही ख़तम हो जाए,

इस बार नही... इस बार घावों को देखना हैं गौर से

थोड़ा लंबे समय तक,

कुछ फ़ासले और उसके बाद हौसले,

कहीं तो शुरुआत करनी ही होगी,

इस बर....यहि तय किया हैं !!!

Mumbai Attack

Who is the Culprit??ARE WE OUR SELF THE CULPRIT !******This Pause means I wanna give my countrymen some time to think, think before they just begin another day of their life.The catastrophe has moved me and I know I am responsible for the time my people have to witness in their lives.Its time when we all need to stand together against this,its time not for resignation its time for Action,its time for reassessment of the flaw that is within us.Are we our self culprit of bringing such a fate of this nation???Right from the Malegaon blasts or Jaipur blasts or Ahmedabad blasts,The sixth sense was itching high to smell such fate of nation which we are facing today.I sincerely believe our forces are well equipped to combat every fight but why do we need to combat if we could pervade the situation from being one which is raising its head now.We need to bring a change within us.To feel our self secure and independent,I genuinely believe its the sole discretion of the individual to feel independently secure.So if today the nation is urging its security,I want you all to re assess if the present fate is brought by us only.we need to stand together in our opinions & stand together for a purpose.So what are we waiting for??A leader to come! The leader whom u elect by vote.wherein you search for the least corrupt person,Least in genuine among the heard of those with fluke promises.You yourself are the leader.You have to take the initiative.Stop corrupting yourself.Why u blame ministers to be corrupt,why do u go to ministers for favours for wrong things to hide sins you have committed,why do u offer bribe to TTE to get a seat in Train,Why are you not so generous in offering some respite to the common man standing near you,Why do we not care of our surroundings to be clean,why don't we care not to throw and dump unnecessary garbage into drains to convert them into blogged lobbies only to flood or overflow in heavy downpour, why we as contractors as sheer greed of saving some more money supply Cheap and in efficient things to each and every department of ministry be it irrigation,be it building roads,dams and bridges that collapse as seem many times in Delhi and Bangalore in course of its construction itself let alone think about next 20 years for them to sustain.Be it military(the cheap bullet proof jackets in news recently).These are mere few examples of how we deviate or part eyes from our responsibilities and next is how all this support terrorism to grow raise its ugly head.Why do we assume ways of shortcuts for money by smuggling goods off the shore of Mumbai,when I saw pictures of Mumbai earlier around TAJ.I always used to question myself,who would be looking after the people who would be coming through this way and how easy it is for anyone to cross man and machine easily through this passage which is enjoying the same liberty of movement when VASCO DE GAMA and Portugues entered mumbai through this passage long back in time,then why do people have a mad race for Visas and other formalities to leave for other country.As every now and then I used to hear news that lots of smuggled goods come from Sea way in Mumbai port,that is the key what terrorists found if they can smuggle Diesel,Luxury accessories then why not weapons for destruction of Mumbai also.

And gimme a pause where do the money for all this come form.?? Who Finance this terror.Read this and analyse.This truth is indeed mind boggling.It comes from you! yes,u give them money for the purpose..wanna know how ...Read this....

Tirupati, Dagdusheth, siddhivinayak, shirdi , Vaishno devi trust.. are just the few to name big trusts who recieve enormous money every year in name of religion from FOOLISH POOR Indians, people believe in secret donations...where in Millions Of rupees donated every year to these places,They are directly or indirectly the money of TRUST,the owner of trust,some mathadhish, sadhu sant, Sadhvi Pragya,Dayand pandy or Amritanand kind of people, of this tonnes of rupees even a handful is enough to finance terror in international terrorism network........ this is just one part.

People attending Rave parties and consuming DRUGS and Liquor and all what not , where do the drugs come from,ultimate Pakistan where it is grown in abundance or from ARAB countries, which is house to real terrorism the world is facing today, All thanks to the Potential drug market they have found in our country to sell their drugs to vandalise our folks and to finance their terrorism acts and not going very far metropolitan I am a eye witness to these products being sold and consumed openly even in smallest of Indian towns, small and big universities and colleges.

The bollywood people sending RANSOM for survival in terror of Dawood in Mumbai in sum of Crores.And I don't think anyone would ever suspect the possible links of Dawood and other terrorist organizations.Its Industrialists and corporates who endorse heavily to these stars for minimal product advertisements and these people find it very easy to extract money from weak stars,who feel it better to throw easily earned money than to take step against it who are already troubled by media and the industry life...

All I wanna say is:

IT'S WE WHO HAVE MADE OUR NATION CRIPPLED BEFORE TERRORISM BY OUT OWN CLUMSY ACTS AND WE MUST START CHANGING OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE AND SELF SECURITY.

SRISHTI 2008

SRISHTI 2008 from 29th feb to 2nd march 2008:Two of my friends in a usual afternoon hence project class, Robin and Himanshu came to my room inviting me to come for annual hobbies club exhibition cum project competition in IIT ROORKEE.Dats just 2 days befor we had to leave,I had to make up my mind and prepare for the best to present there coz when we r going so far,it was clear in our minds that we are there just to achieve something,next day in a usual boring class of MIS while half sleeping I made plans and sought for a great experience in roorkee,still had doubts if I can make it in just an evening,I still had come up with the decision if I can make it true.

Amidst all doubts, I left for champa from Durg in janshatabdi on 26th feb 08 to get my collection and prepare for PHILATELY AND NUMISMATICS completition(Any how when ur in doubts things will never work as expectd only to worsen the situation I found Janshatabdi sheduled to arrive at 1700 HRS was 2 hrs late that day.I waked up eary next day and prepared for the presentation of stamps and coins in sheets , greatly helped by didi(Her fashin design degree was worth for the second time,first being when she stitched buttons to my shirt n altered my jeans length for which I used to pay not less than 40 bucks a pair)and Papa.I got confirmed ticket 3 hrs B4 the train departure(something miracle to expect in Indian railways,but fate wanted us to be there.)

I boarded chhattisgarh express on 27th feb 1300HRS from champa to saharanpur where Robin and Himanshu joined me in durg on way.

In train we are always lucky to have beautiful company but some seats away,neways when I m getting bored I make best efforts to get my prey and again I did it.Shivani arora a NATIONAL LAW college student and classmate of my old classmate Abhinav sharma,about whom I got to know recently and according to shivani we two resemble a lot.Without any delay I called up Abhinav while being in Roaming in train,I was interested more in shivani than in my old classmate.

We reached saharanpur at 0200 HRS and boadred for roorkee to reach at 0400 HRS,as the day broke we reached at what was just a dream till date, IIT roorkee main gate & soon Ashwini a young polite and final year student,convenor srishti 2008 escorted us to TV room of GOVIND BHAVAN where we got the accomodation.Reaching there at 0400 Hrs, time before day break,we could all find was students in hobbies club to complete the experiments in electronic workshop,joining circut and fabrication there models,fine arts students arranging paintings while a tall beard man with pony tails was trying to colour a masterpiece of his life at odd hrs of day,Star gazing section students were still gazing at stars, some playing computer games and some busy cathing up there favourit music sitting aloof,one smart chap in INDUSCAFE Tshirt(Designed by Industrial n production engineering student) was catching up a sweet sleep in computer lab in a thin GADDA.Best part was they were doing these things of there own with a sense of belonging for there richly developed labs n workshop.This is what IIT students are made for and why they are known in world ,this make them different from rest in world.

We prepared stamps sheets and pasted coins in sheets and made them ready to be displayed in exhibition with gud hopes to bag a prize.We were amazed to find all the students of IIT R to be polite , down to earth and best in moods everytime to learn and share the knowledge , much opposite to our presumption.There labs are open 24x7 for the students and depends on students,they make use of it and not harm things there,well equipped labs with 5 desktops, printers,accessories and even a gadda in floor in case any1 wants a short nap amidst work at odd hrs of night was a delight to witness.

Central libray has another kind of air inside, at 12 pm night we saw students coming to library and at every corner we could find the comfort and silence prevailing with books spread on table and students seemed basically interested only in knowledge.

No madness for long phone chats,no party plans of great, no LADKIBAAJI no FAAANTA BAAJI at all.

At the end of day we were left with great memories to remember for the rest of our life but then we have got to realize its just a start if we wanna continue this kind of work. 

We got three 1st prizes in PHILATELY NUMISMATICS AND ELECTRONIC DESIGN PROJECT FOR Electronic Voting machine.Major part of EVM belongs to Robin and Himashu and for Stamps and Coins thankz to papa to imbibe that hobby to me as well.
