One Paragraph that explains life

27 06 2009

Came across this inspirational piece of text. I wanted to share this with all of you.

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: “Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease ?
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
“The world over — 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals,
when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD ‘Why me?’.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD ‘Why me?’ “

Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,

Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing,

But only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going…





Imprisoned

26 06 2009

I have been here at this place for the last 10 years. I remember the day when I found myself lying here. I don’t know what had happened, who brought me here or why I was brought here. I can not go beyond these walls. I have been told that I have to live here throughout my life. When I ask why I have been imprisoned, they do not reply. They provide me everything that I want. I havent seen or talked to my family and friends since I was brought here. I have tried to run from here, but in vain. The only companion here with me is God. I cry and ask God why I am being punished. I did not commit any crime. Why can’t I live like others ? I want to go to my family. I want to live my life again. On receiving no answers, I cry and cry again ……….





Crazy Times

5 04 2009

So I am writing after a long time (again…). I don’t think I had anything interesting worth sharing.

It was yesterday night. I had had my dinner. My friend Gautam asked me to accompany him to canteen. So after having some food there, we decided to go outside IIIT, and have some ice-cream.

So there we were, having our ice-creams. I don’t know what occurred to Gautam and he said it has been a long time we did something interesting. I asked him what did he want to do. After thinking for sometime, he told me that let us go to Mehdipatnam. I asked him what did he want to do at Mehdipatnam at 11 P.M. He replied that we will go and come back. I asked what kind of fun would he derive from this activity. He told that he didn’t know whether it will be fun or not, but he hasn’t done anything like this before and he wanted to do this.  I thought he was correct and I agreed. Then we headed towards the bus stop.

After waiting for some time, I asked him why don’t we go down the ISB road as I hadn’t gone there before. He told me it was a good idea too. So we were walking on the road at midnight, where we could see no one except the cabs going for the night shifts. We were there at ISB when I told him I needed a break. We sat outside ISB and we started discussing about the past two years spent here and what lies ahead for us in the future. The wind played a supporting role in the continuation of our discussion. About half an hour later, fearing that the security guards might think we were some troublemakers, we decided to go back.

While returning, an auto rickhaw came and asked if we wanted to go somewhere. We told him that we didn’t want an auto. After he went, we asked a cab to drop us at the red light. When we reached, we saw the same auto standing there. I told Gautam that it was time to have some fun. We went and stood ahead of the auto as if we were waiting for an auto or a cab. On seeing us, the auto driver was like he had seen a ghost. We behaved like we hadn’t seen him before. After a few minutes, the driver came and asked if we were outside ISB few minutes ago. We said no. Then Gautam broke into laughter and we told him that we came by a cab. The driver also started laughing with us.

While going back to hostel, I was thinking that the idea was a complete fun. It reminded me of the days back at home. I,  along with my friends, would wander in the evenings.  That was great fun. Miss those days !!





Writing Again…..

3 04 2008

March, April …and here I come again. I am writing a post after one month. We have had our end-sems finished and I can say that I have completed one year in college. So that gives me a topic to talk on. Yes my first year in IIIT,Hyderabad.

The journey came into its planning phase with a bad rank in JEE-07 and I was not sure to join which college. Then I came to know about IIIT-H through my friends. I was not hoping to make it here with my rank in AIEEE but my hopes were turned down and I was here.

So let me recall some of the things of the past year besides the Academics (Can not forget the workload). Let me start listing them out…

  1. The friend circle. Made new friends.
  2. The night long BC (IIIT’ians will understand ).
  3. People really good in different fields.
  4. Satisfaction.
  5. The deadlines.
  6. Birthday Bashes.

………………..

And the list goes on. I can not think of what should I write here and what should not so I think to stop it here. Let’s see if I can add some more.

So the end result is that one-fourth of the journey is over and I must add that we are having a 4-month vacation ahead :)
