So, this is it… It’s time to say good bye to the glorious era of this human life, being a college student. It’s a time when you can enjoy in this world to the maximum. Isn’t it? Those silly jokes you laugh at, those funny practical jokes you play on others, those your friends played on you, the silly fights you got involved with your loved ones, bunking classes for no reason and coming back at the end of that hour just to get attendance. The time when your friends make your wallet empty when it’s your birthday.

Then there is love, love & love alone… You notice a particular guy (or girl) and start feeling that, that particular person is the one you were waiting for all the time. That your life will become meaningless if he/she is not present in it as your beloved. The emptiness you feel inside when you’re trying to talk with that special somebody. The silly reasons you make just to get a glance of that person and the stupid situations you end up putting yourselves in. These are just some of the little things in the college life which almost everyone has to cherish in his or her memories. These are some of the things which will never come back in this life, no matter how hard you pray for that.

College life is perhaps the only phase in life when you’ll be able to be yourself, trying out entirely new things, finding your passion and exploring life without any tension at all. You’ll be having the best time of your life along with your best friends who will be just like your family.

This is also the time when you got to be extra careful about the choices you make. Let it be in case of friends, love or even career. One wrong choice and everything tumbles down like a castle made of cards. So like the wise people always say “You better play it safe buddy”.

Once you get out of college, things just get way serious. You gotta find a job, make a living, help your parents, and make a family… whoa whoa get a break! It’s too much of a load right? Well that’s how it is, that time is all about serious business buddy. You gotta prove yourself to this world, leave a signature in this world by conquering your dreams. Make your loved ones really proud.

All that time, these days will never come back, you might be ready to give away everything else in this world which you’ve got, still these days will never come. These bunking of classes, playing prank on others, trying really hard to woo your special someone. You’ll miss these days for sure. You will realize that you had left back your own heaven. Cherish these wonderful memories of college life, live these moments as if you’re gonna die tomorrow. Keep the fire you got inside you throughout your life. Conquer your every dream you have in this life and emerge victorious in the end. Wishing each and every one of you a very successful life. Never let these days go in vain guys. Live this moment!

My First Creation Using Photoshop…

Few days back I wrote about the dilemma i’m having about what is to be done with my life and all.

Only after that I realized that its exactly the same with many other just like me in the final semester and having no idea about what is their destiny? What is their passion etc. So only I felt that I should comment something about that.

A lot of gifted people are out there around me but still they’re not sure about is that going to be the right choice for them. Some are having special talents in graphic designing, some are the best web developers, singers are there, song writers are there, I can see amazing photographers who just create wonders in their work.

Sadly none of them are realizing that that particular talent they got can do wonders for their life. It can help them conquer their dreams and make everyone else proud.

Just because your friends got into somewhere and you didn’t, don’t jump in for any job opportunity which doesn’t suit you, which you doesn’t love at all.

Only do that work which you love to do, which gives you satisfaction when doing it.

You gotta love your work just like the love of your life, then only success will come at your doorstep.

Realize your passion, understand what kind of job suits you? Know your talents, work hard for success.

Show this world who you really are. Live in this world, not survive!

Last semester of b.tech started few days back, preparations to meet cruel world outside the academic heaven is in full fledge. Everyone is doing serious planning about their future, some choose higher studies, some looking for jobs some got no idea about what is to be done.

Latest news is that some lucky ones already got placed in posh companies. B.Tech is such a rat race, if you fall behind its game over. Even the thought of getting out of college and face the world outside is giving me nightmares. Dark clouds of confusions uncertainity looming in.

Lots of things to do out there. Lots of hopes about life. Finding university exam itself hard to crack and it is nothing when compared to the exam called as life. You can write that exam again n again untill you clear it but life doesn’t give second chances so often and you gotta clear it at one go.

Like most of others, i know where i wanna go, through which route i wanna go and all. Its not a well taken path and so its proving to be really risky. Its something which I love to pursue and i just hope that I’ll reach my aim. Just praying to god to help me conquer my aim and keep all the hopes of people who love me high. I’ve no strength to let them down at all. I gotta prove myself. And I’ll for sure.

During old days while four laning of roads were carried out, they were done in two phases and dividers were constructed then itself, what is going on now is they dig some portion in the middle region of road and instant dividers are placed in that. Yeah it gets the job done very easily if carried out properly!!! What happens if its not carried out in proper way? The answer is here only, Check out the second picture.

Here since the time they’ve placed those instant dividers on road, the excess road tar removed form the region is left on middle of the road itself instead of removing properly. In this one you can see that protection is provided as work is being carried out, but once it gets over the road tar is left there itself posing a big security risk especially to the two wheelers who’re not familiar with the place properly and are travelling at night. Just imagine what happens if  some vehicle runs straight into that heap? It will lead to severe accidents. Getting works done easier is good, but this? Isnt this utter madness? Also putting peoples lives at stake.

This thought has always puzzled me.

I feel that love and friendship are siblings to each other.

You can’t be a friend to someone whom you love.

You can’t be loving someone who’s not your friend as well.

I’ve heard a lot about people who heard "Lets be friends to each other for now." when they proposed to someone they found as a suitable person to them.

I’m not able to understand whats the point in it?

I’m not able to understand why people think of love and friendship like this?

This is where organization like Make A Difference or M.A.D came into being. This movement started as a result of the hardwork of Kavin KK, Jithin C Nedumala, Sujith Abraham Varkey, Santosh Babu, Gloria Benny andJithin John Varghese on 2006 at Cochin and now this has become a national movement with its branches atCochin, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Chennai, Mangalore, Delhi, Pune, Nagpur, Bangalore.

Their aim is very much clear from their vision itself which goes like this “To bridge the inequality in society through education.”

M.A.D focuses mainly on two areas, teaching underprivileged children English and computers and thus bringing them on par with those students who get quality education.

I still remember the day when I went to my buddy Arun’s house about a year ago when he Melvin and others were planning to start M.A.D’s branch in Thiruvananthapuram. At that moment itself I wanted to be a part of it and do something for the kids, but since my college is at Thalassery, I couldn’t.  Planning to be a part of this venture soon after studies are over…

Days passed by and I thought why not spending some time with the people of M.A.D and those small kids and experience how everything goes? Discussed it with Arun and jumped in.

In Thiruvananthapuram M.A.D is working in three places, Jayamatha Boys Home, Nalanchira, SH Jyothi Bhavan, HiM Children’s Home, Plamoodu. I decided to go to Jayamatha Boy’s Home and HiM Children’s Home only as I was on a tight schedule. Read the following and see how those times were…

17/9/2010 – Jayamatha Boys Home

It was 4:30 pm when I walked into Jayamatha Boys Home with Arun. When the kids saw him, they came running towards him calling out his name. They seemed to be so happy. Its really soothing to see kids enjoying among themselves. Other volunteer’s also were present already. Met Georgy, Anjana, Mariya n Melvin there.
Some of the kids at Jayamatha Boys Home were from really poor conditions and a god made a few orphans. Hundreds of boys live there and about 55 were shortlisted and divided into five batches A, B, C, D, E each containing 10 – 11. Small kids are supposed to be naughty and ofcourse they were. But in front of the love and care given by these brothers and sisters, they were really obedient. Hats off to the teachers who taught us in primary classes and all who managed us with lots of love and care. Melvin and his friends teach the kids English through games, stories, simple exercises etc. Kids love that. I went to there for the first time but those kids were like they knew me since long. Played together, said stories together it was a great experience. Didn’t knew at all when the two hours had passed. I really wanted to be part of M.A.D in the starting stage itself but when they started, i had to move to Thalassery for the sake of becoming an engineer. When I asked Ullas, a small kid over there about his opinion about these big brothers and sisters, he said they’re really good and loving. When we were leaving, many kids came and asked me will I come the next day? I was really touched by that…

I really had an unforgettable day with these kids. I’ll surely be part of M.A.D once I’m back at Trivandrum…

18/9/2010 – HiM Childrens Home, Plamood

Going to HiM Children’s Home, Plamood, second of the three orphanages where M.A.D operates in tvm. Melvin arranged one Jobin who’s another M.A.D volunteer to take me there. According to Arun, HiM is the best place where M.A.D Trivandrum is working. Let’s see how it is like.
Reached at the place with Jobin Abraham. About 50 kids are present here. They’re divided into four batches. Two studying regular M.A.D syllabus, one primary batch and one having preprimary session. Some really bright kids are present in here. The kids were really loving and cute. Really touched by the love of these little guys. Sang rhymes with them, played with them it was really awesome. Most of the people are from unlucky conditions at home and felt really sorry for that.

What wrong did they do for suffering like this? They are victims of the mistakes of present generation and felt that we should try to make some difference.
I was meeting them for the first time but within a short time they were behaving as if they know me since a long time. One little guy Shibin is there who’s of first standard, he was the cutest of all. That little guy is really bright and the most adorable. Just like arun had said, the kids in this place are the best. Time flies when you spend time with kids. Didn’t even knew when two hours had passed. It was so quick. Heart was really filled with joy as I got a chance to mingle with them. A big thanks to Jobin as he really took strain to say about these kids and took me around the place.

I had went to Jayamatha Boy’s Home and HiM Children’s Home with some amount of confusion and a lot of excitement. When I got out of both places, I got a lot of friends and also a lot of children as my little brothers and sisters. Will surely meet them whenever possible and be part of M.A.D when I can.

M.A.D at Thiruvananthapuram is perhaps the smallest and youngest of the various branches of M.A.D, but they are surely doing great. Starting off something like this at a city like Thiruvananthapuram is not at all simple and Melvin and his team pulled this off… Congratulations to these young minds who’re all set to Make A Difference…!
