No one can legitimately deny that life is a complete mystery & each following day that passes by unveils a new thought, a new concept.....It was just a few moments before that i was going through the channels of my television set that i came across this advertisement of CNBC....it had the punch line:"ENJOY, LEARN,PROFIT"& i exclaimed with surprise "what deep thought does this punch line encompasses".
One has so easily succumbed to competition that it has lead to emotional bankruptcy.We are unknowingly becoming victims of stagnation,depleted of personal motivation to make it a life long process.
For many learning is just a routine......of studying one's way through school,college ,.........& further could be a job (the icing on the cake). In such a situation the entire learning becomes debased.We follow the tenets of peer pressure which compel us to put ourselves in water-tight
comparetments of..."enjoyment", "learning" & "profiting".
One can very well infer the justification from the very expressions that we carry during our lectures,preperations for exams......campus placements......whatsoever.......We do our assignments because we 'll be penalised if we dont....we study for exams to fetch marks....
Do we really enjoy the hard work we put in????????.....................
Yes,if the end result is good we do enjoy by treating ourselves to the core......but the crux of the matter is "You'll master anything u put ur heart into it".No learning can be profitable if we dont
enjoy the process.When we do that we get the vigour to work....Failure,stress all are dissolved.
Perhaps we all are roleplayers,everyone of us.We say that we are satisfied,but we never are.
Remember learning never ends.....One year down the linewe'll be out of college......then put to task at our workplace.......its like a process that never ends......
You cant ignore it ,as the pressures of life will crush you.......But there's onething we all can definitely do......"Enjoy,Learn,Profit" all at the sametime..............(Enjoy learning!!!!!!!!!)

Hungry Kya???????
No its not about McD's sumptuous burgers neither its about my rarest culinary expertise,its
about hunger.When a bit of sensitvity is allowed to intervene in our so called very occupied lives ,we realise that we are barely aware of what is really happening around us.
We have so very confined ourselves to grave issues that hunger today for the "materialistic man " is for his position, his wealth,his accomplishments..
How many times our plates have enough left overs?
How many times do we throw food just because it dint did enough work for the taste-buds?
Do we realise the fact that there are millions who dont have means to sufice their basic food requirements......
World Food Programme had warned in March of a worsenning global food crisis:
"We are seeing a new face of hunger..We are seeing food on the shelves ,but people being unable to afford it..."
Here's some food for thought:
* Every 1 in 5 people in World suffers from malnutrition.total count going to 800 million.
* 0.5 million people in india are malnutritioned.
*Malnutrition results in impairment of cognitive skills & physical strength.
*It makes u vulnerable to diseases.
*46% of Indian children are underweight
*80% anaemic.
Yes all this may seem really boring & unappealing but if for once in your life u have felt very hungry....understand the importance of the very first bite u had.
Relish the food that u are served not for its taste alone but also of the fact that u are lucky enough to have it.
The next time you waste food do remember "IN EVERY 2 SECONDS 1 DIES OF HUNGER".
(Nope I am not a social worker,i am just a human which alone is enough to define the purpose.I hope it makes sense to other humans as well)

Crush vs love
"Opposites attract" well this a well proven fact of physics.It is said science is a way of life and this maxim gains its importance when we ourselves become catalyst for the reaction of opposite attraction.But there's another countersatement to back it"opposites attract but likes endure"...
So finally after enough beatin around the bush let me come to the topic.
Crushes are merely teenage blues or may be younger than that(keeping in mind the latest trends) .To be more rational, lets not consider age as the barrier.
A crush is a "strong liking for an individual".I guess every individual sometime in his/her own life experiences this feeling.For its purely a natural process....you were never taught anything about it,You never plan it,You neither wanted it but it just happens.
For some it may be for a moment like a bubble which bursts out,For some it may be a long phase which withers & dies.
Crushes are merely infatuations, nurtered by laws of attraction.It transcends logic & reason.
One can never comprehend why suddenly you are attracted to someone.It may begin because of a beautiful face,a sweet voice, a handsome body,a charming personality,a sparkling smile, a kind jesture or nothing at all.
It may be standing at the window as he reluctantly drives away, it maybe waiting for her call,
it may mean lazy dreams of future with him/her ,it may be the restlessness to meet,it may be the urge to dress up to impress,it may be blushing away to glory when he complements,it may be the way she looked at you through the corner of her eye,it may be an act of bravery..................it may be anything but love.
And this is perhaps the reason why crushes crash & do not last.
For true love is an understanding which compels u to be together with someone to make up for the mutual deficiencies (as we all are somewhere imperfect....).it is about trust,its about knowing each other for what they are and not expecting to change like two halves of whole ,complementing each other.Its a process which can be understood only by experiencing it..............(some experience it b4 marraige n sum aftr)

Confessions of a Twenty Someone
Twenty that milestone in your life when you are overwhlemed by the fact "yes ,i am an adult " in the real sense.Just shreded the experimental teenage years and now ready to take the plunge.You feel strong, invincible,ready to be commited in relationship,ready to be financially independent,ready to be your own. But the question here to be answered is that "Is it not far too ambitious attempt by the "twenty someone" to dream dreams of bein rich,independent & happy?"
Do we really know what we want?Do we really know who we are? The answer is no.We grope in the dark wanting to reach out to something, someone,somewhere sometimes not even knowing why let alone how.Today life is beset with multivarious challenges, frustation & problems both at personal & professional fronts.Drugs,alcohol,infidelity appear as possible escape routes which would definitely lead us nowhere.
If we really want to be prepared , then we should just have a peek-a-boo through our innerselves .Accept things and if they are not acceptable have the optimism & the determination to change them.
Discover the importance of yourself as well as others. Feel the power of love & expand your life through meaningful relationships.
"Every child is born with a message to deliver to the human race......a few words may be a work of art, maybe something he/she'll say dat completes the explanation .............of why we are here".
Find your purpose of life & adjust your wheels for the magnificent start of a whole new life. What youu end up doing, where you ultimately reach are trivial things.Dont focus on the end result, focus on the "JOURNEY".Make sure that you are really goin to enjoy, look forward to, be enthusiastic for,be excited for the journey.
And if the goal is achieved take it as a bonus.If not , so what ? Along the way you had fun .Along the way you had a life. Problems & challenges make life adventerous. For when we just not exist & begin to live the adventure begins.So decide that you will live for the journey ,not the destination just like a twenty year old.Decide that you will become one of those delightful people who on their death beds can honestly say "i made the most of my life & i have no regrets".
