My beautiful (?) Mind: February 2006

Bowled Out by Interrogator's

I was bowled out in a 20 minutes session by seven member (bowling team) Staff of our department; on the D-Day i.e. the project presentation day. It is a D-Day for the entire batch when (the two gr8 S’s [Sha and San]) are the invigilator’s (rather the interrogators) who would go through the nooks and corner of our project to find out nothing other than faults.

I was the first one to start the batting (presentation) session. The bowling team was in front of me all ready to try out their googlies and their swings to return me to the pavilion. I went into the pitch ( presentation area ; with the latest projector our department bought showering lights on the white board as if it was the flood lights in a stadium for the day and night match ) and I was the first one to bat ( start the presentation ).

I had my Bat (floppy containing my sleepless work; our presentation) I inserted it into the drive of that good old computer which knows nothing other than to crash ,with prayers to all the gods that I know to please make it crash . But (UN)fortunately it did not happen and that thing was running perfectly like no time before. I started bribing all gods with coconut and lots of puja’s if this thing went off well and our batch came out successfully scoring at least pass mark.

I started our presentation. “Our project is LARCON i.e. the Land Reconnaissance Vehicle”…Boom! Came the first comment “Your voice is not so loud please make it louder”…Gotcha! Was the expression from the Bowlers end. I tried to make my sound as much louder as possible the next time “Our project is Land Reconnaissance Vehicle”…Boom! Then came the next comment “Which language are you speaking?”…Oops what did I do wrong this time...I got depressed this time… (I was confident that I could make a presentation well enough to impress whomsoever; but now it was getting shattered)…I became dumb folded ...That single question hit me hard and shattered...my heart…my confidence …and the rest of the courage that I have hardly accumulated…I stopped presentation abruptly…I could only see the Opposite bowling team celebrating after getting their first wicket…but I stood their and continued presentation for hardly 6 more slides when I was decided OUT! For a HOWZZAT!!!! …from the Mighty Interrogators."Next !" please present the rest .

The whole team got whole out for less than 20 slides the rest of slides were just run through each time the interrogators demanded the microampere and microvolt of each junction in the printed circuit board. The whole team was collapsing, while I was sitting in the middle of the pitch still unable to make out what had happened...

Right then I heard a Question from the bowling team “What is this Reconnaissance thing?”……...What!!!...What was I explaining to them if they couldn’t understand what I was talking about “Reconnaissance”...I tried to start again “An inspection or exploration of an area, especially one made to gather military information.” With the Dictionary definition .But it was too late...the damage was already done…

After that interrogation they wanted to know all about the IC’s and even the grandfather’s of the IC’s and their anatomy and psychology and all the stuff. I had to raise the white flag to surrender before the Mightiest TEAM of our college.

My Day , Today

Life is back to normal after a few days of sleep and sleepless nights in the internet. Today , I woke up at 1.30 in the afternoon and started in my sweet ,but petrol starving bike to my ‘sweet’ college. By the speed at which he drinks out the Petrol I guess, it is infected by some virus which has an affinity for petroleum products.

Just as usual, I skipped class and went to the Quest meeting the latest Mega Event that is happening in our Branch in College. I was in the back bench watching the proceedings and the “Meetings”….which reminded me of the live broadcast of the Legislative Assembly which I saw in the TV yesterday. The meetings ended with the selection of a panel with everyone’s satisfaction with all the right people taking care that their loved one’s are properly in place.

I am not the one who in a least sense has the right to talk about it, but since that now I am free to talk. I think, I must write about all the stuff’s which happened and is still happening in our little class. Our class is the heaven of talents; we have so many talents that we don’t even have the right opportunities for everyone to come out with their talented hands to do the work. This extravaganza of talents often created a situation of desperate battle for powers …err rather world wars in a little sense with all of us teaming up to take position behind our friends and fight the battle to get the opportunity to gain the prospective opportunity to showcase our talents . Look what the abundance of talents can cause! ...

Sectarianism is another visible phenomenon happening through out our Branch …The two sects are err…We can call them as Modern sect n rather Radical sect. I don’t know why I called them so just take it as M and R. The M sect I think has some creative potential but they lack the amount of destructive potential that the R sect has got. Today’s meeting saw the sectarianism reigning high even above the agenda of meeting i.e.; organizing the event.

N.B (This is a secret) Both the sects have acquired some amount of money due to their hard work, but in the meeting during the budget proposal…as answer to the question …How much money have you presently collected ? …their was an utter silence from both parts …May b because they want to first know which sect is going to conduct the event …then only will they decide upon whether to give the money or not ! (To both M & R…sorry for publicizing your little secret).

In the corridors of the meeting I also saw a small discussion about the brands of drinks...Yeah “the drinks” which can be made official for Quest … I think they settled for some low cost brands due to the bitter financial situation that the event is going through. It’s good that they are concerned about the event.

Day by day things are getting interesting to watch...

What Swami Vivekananda taught us !

SEE GOD IN ALL

This is the gist of all worship - to be pure and to do good to others. He who sees Siva in the poor, in the weak, and in the diseased, really worships Siva, and if he sees Siva only in the image, his worship is but preliminary. He who has served and helped one poor man seeing Siva in him, without thinking of his cast, creed, or race, or anything, with him Siva is more pleased than with the man who sees Him only in temples.

GOD IS WITHIN YOU

It is impossible to find God outside of ourselves. Our own souls contribute all of the divinity that is outside of us. We are the greatest temple. The objectification is only a faint imitation of what we see within ourselves.

PERSEVERE IN YOUR SEARCH FOR GOD

To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. "I will drink the ocean," says the persevering soul, "at my will mountains will crumble up." Have that sort of energy, that sort of will, work hard, and you will reach the goal.

TRUST COMPLETELY IN GOD

Stand up for God; let the world go.

LOVE OF GOD IS ESSENTIAL

Giving up all other thoughts, with the whole mind day and night worship God. Thus being worshipped day and night, He reveals himself and makes His worshippers feel His presence.
