Mission Impossible :Running !!!

After long I get down to write a post back home sitting comfortably in my room.This post is a description of an "accident" that took place on 25Th May 2009! :)[Read On]

There were certain things to do in my list this summer break and one of them was.....hold your breath..JOGGING!

BEFORE IT HAPPENED:
Starting with not my routine, I got up at 6:30 and went for the run with my faithful iPod nano 8GB(extra description to show my love and affection for nano). Dressed in borrowed attire of twice my size I started the run with Let it rock (By kevin Rudolf)playing in loop in my earphones. (Click and listen...I lovvee the song! )

THE HAPPENING:
It was going smooth apart from little effort in breathing I had to put in ( You see I am not meant for running around...I was born lazy and will remain so ).
Then came third round of the mission: 3 big fat aunties walking briskly in my direction with unmatched speed covering the entire belt of walking space available. I had to make space for myself and move left a little. That very moment all stars lined up above in space and cracked a lightening to plot my downfall on a small stone ....dhadddaaammmm I fell with my face on the road and my hands stretched out in the best possible manner to save my nano!
To avoid embarrassment I stood up to complete the last round of the day with dirt all over my white t-shirt and shorts.

THE AFTER EFFECTS:
Reaching home I noticed my knees, fingers on both hands and my chin had bruises of many colors...green, pink,red, blue,purple,brown...u name it! The first aid provided by my little brother was of some help but the pain is still unbearable specially on my right hand which I need the most for daily needs(chatting, eating, changing channels on television etc). People around me tell me its sceptic and needed Anti Tetanus Injection within 24 hours. Its horrible sight to see when green dirty liquid is half frozen on your body and all you can do is sit and wait for time to heal it.

Moral of the Story:
1. God doesn't want me to mend my schedule and go out for running when I am meant to sit back and enjoy life with good food and good sleep!
2. No need to become an angel and give way to people when you are out on the run.
3. Get a sturdy cover for iPod so that even if you fall, you don't hurt yourself more to save it.
4. Get an Anti Tetanus Injection within 24 hours of your fall!

Toughest Task is easy …..And other way round??

Finally I come back with a new post after really long…..guys its tough to find a topic to write on with enough understandable content.
In case u noticed I changed the URL of my blog to surakshaposts.blogspot.com from the never ending ultimatetympassedition.blogspot…phew! Hope the change brings good fortune if nothing else. Without wasting any more space and time let me get to the abstract heading of this post!


Toughest task for a person on this planet (probably more of my age presently) would be completion of homework on time, getting the orders ready, enrolling into prestigious institutes, impressing people around (you can count your parents too!), learning new language and the list goes on depending from one person to the other. It’s tough yet easily possible to get hold on these tasks in our lives by time management skills and other often heard words from the planner gurus around us.
It’s just tough to prepare ourselves to stick to the routine so as to achieve the target otherwise the first, the last and the steps in between are all decided and just need to be explored. Now you are allowed to ask …..What’s the “other way round” of this post?

It’s the simple tasks and questions which have full capability to put you in dilemma. (Unless you are Mr. /Miss Perfect whose life both professional and personal is well planned from the day you opened eyes on this planet or life has given you enough solid experiences to know your inner and outer self more than you are probably required to).
Your strengths, weaknesses, assets, hobbies, motivators, idol, qualities…such things we have been filling since our 5th grades in many slam books without getting into the real meaning of each term. Now today when a person twice our age asks the same question we just can’t fool around or beat about the bush to answer. Such simple questions encountered make us feel like Ishaan of the movie Taare Zameen Par who found himself tangled with 2+2 and 3*9.

Remedy: Introspection and follow the heart (That’s what many high profile and well established humans around us say …Yes I am just passing on the message)

Homesick?

I am finally at home after July 17, 2008 for a 10 day long vacation to relax and rejuvenate myself after my Test II which went for 3 days. Seriously 3rd year of engineering is the one where all start gearing up and it becomes tough to pace up with the race. Aright agreed the initial lines of this post don’t match with the title but what’s the harm if I give you a feeler of the background?
The disease of feeling homesick carries with itself various side effects (as observed by me – in me specially) namely mood swings, lack of efficiency, decreasing level of concentration, the "m in no mood" behavior etc. Since I don’t come from a medical or a counseling behavior and am currently pursuing a logical course I would like to deal with the Why of this disease.

This thought came in my mind when I saw one side of my personality (again) yesterday doing activities I don’t do back in my hostel. Remaining careless, draped in the most comfy attire (even if it is not my size), walking on the street near my house with loud music in my ears (obviously not disturbing the public around me…yes I have manners too!). Acting and reacting without any calculated second thoughts after long was an easy job at hand which made me “Feel at Home” in real sense. The half of real me which was hidden once outside my home was allowed to live again. This was the cause of homesick for the people living away from home. I know many of you readers will differ from this explanation but please read on for the justification.

For those who feel homesick because of reasons like missing parents, siblings, friends and even your room then kindly analyze the above paragraph. When not at home you are deprived of your belongings, be it your near and dear ones or your materialistic stuff. One side of your personality is not able react in the manner it is used to. Chatting over necessary and unnecessary topics, fighting, eating your favorite brownies, sleeping for endless hours….whatever may be your daily activity for one part of your brain and heart, you are depriving your body of that. And my dear, reader once a particular ingredient is missing then even the best dishes in the world taste bland.

No need of writing this sentence, but this is all what counts as the main cause for the disease better termed as homesick by many of us.

All planned ... yet unpredictable!

Today was my second day of 5th semester and I was attending my lecture on social and legal issues. Our teacher explained why we students pursuing a course in Computer science engineering were made to study a course like this. She said the course would help us widen our horizon on corporate laws and was helpful for those who wanted to go in for entrepreneurship in future. Immediately my dad and his business struck my mind. His business is going well and I hope it continues to do so. Thousands of thoughts started running in my mind and I began planning my future in father’s business after my graduation and perhaps an MBA degree. I cursed my decision for not opting mechanical engineering which would have helped me join him in his business later on.
These summer vacations I have seen my dad working extremely hard which made me think of how things will be “super cool” if I join his business instead of wasting my energy in some other company. Today hearing the word “entrepreneurship” my nervous system got excited and my heart signed a deal with my brain to finally follow what my random thoughts were trying to communicate.

I think that everything is planned up above by the superpowers. Our life is a jigsaw puzzle which we have to solve and once all pieces are arranged in their correct order the game ends. Not many people believe in stars influencing a person’s future but I do and hence would like to mention some facts someone told me once when I was in my 11th standard. He said that my career will be something related to iron. Those were the days when I used to dream about a career in photojournalism and hence immediately related iron with the tripod stand used to arrange a camera. But my life had to arrange itself according to the puzzle picture designed by Him and therefore got into a university which helped me decide to join my father’s business which revolves all around iron!

I have seen a lot of struggle in this business, limited profit and such facts make my brain to think over and over about this new thought, for this looks like a stupid dream to me right now. Again I would say this word “entrepreneurship” is like a new toy for a small kid. This word will make me explore it more in my life, till then I will wait, to check, if it fits well in the picture!
