Fear of death !!!

Have you ever experienced the fear of death? Some of you may have and some may not. I had an experience like that two days back. I was coming from my university to home and it is normally a two hour journey.

I was traveling by bus. The road was full of traffic and it took more than 2 hours just to reach 2/3 of the distance to my house. It was apparent that the bus driver was in a hurry. Bus reached a railway crossing and the driver didn't had the patience to wait until the other side of the road getting roomed. The brainless driver just drove the bus into the railway. Other side of the road was jammed at that moment. And we could here the sound of the alarms of a train arrival. 

The bus was fully crowded and there was no way I could get out of the bus. Few seconds later we could see the train through the windows and the bus was right on the way of the train. I could tell you that all the passengers felt the fear of death. Even the people outside by the road sides were looking at us and seeing their faces, made my fear multiply. For a moment I thought "This is the end ". Even my hands were shaking. Some screamed and some were blaming the driver even at that very moment with a trembling voice.

However luckily for us, some vehicles could move forward and it gave the driver the opportunity to move the bus from the railway just few seconds before meeting with an accident.

One thing I appreciate about the driver is, he clearly had the opportunity to run away and save his life. But instead he took the responsibility and did a great job by keeping his head up and gave his best to avoid the accident. Anyway after the incident, people blamed him a lot and yes he deserved that. I was really happy and I cannot not believe that I am still alive More than that, it was like an incident which happens only in movies. I guess now I know the meaning of "Fear of death".

Hostel alone !!!

Hello there again !!! Yeah it's me writing to you after nearly about 10 days. Still no signs of an end of "wise, educated, intellectual" lectures' strike. I don't care about it much anymore. Anyway the latest news is that, the non-academic staff is also warning the government on commencing another strike which is not a surprise for any of us by any means, since they are well reputed for that kind of stuff.

So what? when there is a bad side to something, almost all the time you will find some kind of a positive side of it. For me,  I have more free time to do something of my own. So I started my freelancing career in the meantime with another friend of mine.So that's all I wanted to say. But the post seems pretty short. Doesn't it?

Don't necessarily read the paragragh below since they are going to be useless for you but I am writing for my own satisfaction.

I'm writing all the things that come to my mind quite freely at this moment, without thinking too much. I left my home 2 hours before and came to the hostel room. No one's in the room. No place to go since all most all the rooms are locked at this very moment and I am like a prisoner in my own room. But feel  really free since no one's here to bother me. It's 6.40 in the evening and getting quite dark but I don't want to switch on the lights, since this feels nice and very peaceful at the moment. 

This probably is the best time to watch "Limitless". You should watch this movie if you get some free time.

Lucky me

Seems like I have no intention to get some sleep today. Soo what should I do? write a beautiful poem or something ? Oh no not again. You remember that crappy post sleepy me wrote with the "poem" right? Anyway I guess that would be the last "poem" for quite some time. Oh I guess now I got something to tell you.

I was in my second year at the university when this happened and was doing my practicals in the level two lab and to be honest I wasn't doing anything but my colleagues. We had to submit the assignment after the practical. Oh I should have mentioned you this earlier. There was this female instructor who is 3 years older to me came to supervise us. Now she is in Denmark and I if wish she is still in our department. However the thing is I did not submit the assignment. She was coming to each of us to evaluate our work. But I didn't have anything to show her. She just came to me and asked me why I didn't do a thing in this practical. I had no reasonable excuse to tell her and that was it.

How ever after some time the day which determined who is eligible/not eligible to sit for the final exam approached. I should mention you that the lecturer who was in charge of the subject was very strict and did not allow anyone who missed a single assignment. So as usual some of my colleagues were not allowed to do the exam for that subject. So I was really surprised that I could sit for the exam. However later I found out that my female supervisor had given me some marks even though I didn't do a thing. But the strange thing is that she hadn't given marks to all of my colleagues  who didn't submit the assignment except for me. I still do not who why she did that and I am grateful to her that I could get an A for that subject. Anyway the thing is that she treated me in a different way compared to others and I could feel that she liked me a lot. I am not saying that it's fair for others. However from my point of view I really thank her a lot and grateful for what she did for me. Or otherwise I could have been reading for the same subject in the following year, just because I didn't  do one assignment. By the time I got to know that, she was in Denmark and still is (reading for her Phd).

However I missed another assignment in the final year on a subject of the same lecturer. The reason was I had to attend for my grand father's funeral. By the way, the lecturer was a former officer who worked for the army, in the intelligence department. So he was very strict. And to tell you, it's not only me who missed the assignment but also some others. Anyway this time he gave everyone a free  pass to sit for the exam.

Annoying few days

I have not written any post criticizing some one or some group of people in this entire blog so far. How ever with the things happening these days, I decide to write one.

I've been studying as an undergraduate for 4 years and 2 months. According to the schedule I should be graduating by now. But still 5 months left to complete my first degree. This is really annoying and the reason for this so far has been student fights.

Anyway the latest news is that lecturers are on a strike. So this also is not doing any good for me and for my batch mates.

However the thing is these lecturers work only about 4 or 6 hours per day (sometimes only 2 hours) and they have 3 months of vacation per year. But the government pays them a reasonable salary for the whole year and most of them work as consultants, which gives them the opportunity to earn a lot of money. Add to that, the governments offers them other benefits like covering expenses when they visit foreign countries, free permits for vehicles, pension, health benefits etc... So I believe there is no reason for them to take this action at this time.

They are the most educated and intelligent people this country has and they are the role models to most of the students. They are the people who teach students about ethics and all. So if these people act like this, what can you expect from others?

Final chapter of "THE JOB HUNT"

At last, I have found a job that suits me.

This is really exciting !!!

This could well become a new beginning to my life.
Still five-six months away from graduation and I cannot wait to join the Industry to start my career. And most of all, now I can move forward with my plans (and hopefully dreams too ;) ).

How would you react ?

Hi to all my fellow surfers and this is my third post for this month.

Two days back I met some one at the University. He looked concerned and from the moment I saw him I could easily say that he was down mentally and also physically. And he wanted me to listen to his story. Then I found out that his mother is suffering from a fatal illness that cannot be cured. Later I found out that he's been like this for sometime (concerned, sad).

However my story is also same as his story. And I must admit that my reaction also was not different to his.

Just think for a bit. How would you react to something like that? Yeah I know most would say "that's life,things happen etc..". But believe me It's not that simple. It takes some time to get use to it.

Anyway the whole point of writing this post is this.

When my mom found that she's suffering from a fatal illness few years back, she just pretended like she's having a normal illness. When I spoke to her she didn't even cry or show me any reaction like that. When I look concerned about her she says "It’s nothing to worry about". I know she may have cried a lot but I can tell you not in front of me.

I'm amazed how she takes all these things and even more amazed how determined she is now more than ever. She hates people who say negative things about her illness. And I believe that there are so many things I can learn from her.

However it's quite remarkable how some people react in a positive manner, when you least expect them to be. But I can definitely tell you that most are not like that. Anyway the thing is it's not what happen to us. It's the way we take them that matters most.

PS: I've been reading this blog lately and I'm quite amazed how this woman manages all these things on her own. If you'd like to read, here's the link.

Addicted

Yup !! Sooo addicted. You may wonder what it is. This is about a TV series I've been watching lately. I have watched so many TV series's like Dexter, Avatar, Chuck, 24, Vampire Diaries, Prison Break, X-files, Dawson's creak, and many more. And I've never liked any of these as much as I liked this TV series.  I know most of you must have watched or at least heard of this TV series.

It's a comedy series which is going on for about six years. It is How I Met Your Mother. And I must tell you that I have watched every bit of it. To tell you, I've watched each every episode at least 2 times. And some seasons three times.

The story is mainly about an architect who is trying to find his soul mate. His name is Ted Morsby. A normal, traditional, fun loving person. It's been six season's and still he is in search of his true love (I guess he is kind like me in that sense).

There are many small  funny sub stories that goes around the main story. May be that's one reason I'm loving this drama series. It's a very normal story and no super natural powers, no extraordinary gun fighting killing scenes at all. But still the story is well built and it relates to our day today lives in many ways. And I should mention you that I was able to quit from many of my bad habits after watching this story and I could look at my life in a different angle.

Funniest of the five is Barny Stinson who is in the leftmost corner of the photo. Second from the left is Robin. Someone who love her career a lot and likes to travel the world. In the middle is Ted Morsby. In search of his soul mate. He is very passionate about anything he does and wants to spend life in a meaning full way. After him in the photo is Lily. In a relationship with Marshal who is in the right to her. She is an honest, kind hearted character. In the right most corner is Marshal Ericsson. A lawyer who is willing to help others even if they do something bad to him, someone who stick to his principals no matter what. Also a very couraged person.

These 5 friends hangout at their apartment, bar etc... and do various crazy stuff.
It's fun to watch.
Just a normal story.
No supernatural power stuff or nothing flashy about the story. And yet,
There is something you can take from this story to your life.
All and all I think it's a wonderful Drama series everyone should watch.
