CAT ??? GRE??? Am i following the flock again??

                                     Almost everybody in South India , at least Andhra Pradesh regrets a period in their student life when , with all the freshness , new , young spirit they join the corporate colleges where there energy is sucked , they are put under terrible pressure and stress only to crack  the   IIT-JEE !!! After schooling till tenth , every parent dreams his child would be an engineer or a doctor.Well , nothing wrong with it.The main reason behind it is they think we will be financially stable and happy in our future . These days even most of the kids aspire to be great engineers and doctors as they see their cousins , seniors , neighbours who passed out from IIT's  living a rich and luxurious life but they dont realise that how much ever hard they work they need to get some techniques right and if they dont get them right IIT is not their cup of tea!!!

                                   

                                     I was one of the victims of these corporate colleges where i blindly followed the lecturers  but could never get the concepts right.But i realised it very late when i was doing pretty well in my engineering course.After spending  two years of  time in hell , completing Inter I could have my space and spend time peacefully in my engineering college for the next two years.Now , I am in third year and again the race for competitive exams such as CAT, GRE  , GATE ,GMAT  started again.

                                     After two long years , mind is full of thoughts again.Thoughts like can i crack this exam or should i prepare for that exam ? Can I afford this course even if I crack it? What if I cant crack  ? Are there any other options ? Oh yes , taking up job is still an option but will i get selected even if i get through the interviews and get selected will I be able to perform? And one of the most important things is I have been relaxing so much for the last two years that I do not have any extra curriculars . Now ,  my entire time goes for building my curriculars .

                                    When i was 15 , my passion was to pursue engineering in IIT and that was prolly my passion cause i saw people in flying colors !  I followed the flock and ended up in a University in my city.Now , I am 19 and my passion is to pursue MBA in IIM's prolly the same reason again! I even joined a coaching centre for it and i am seeing the history repeat , not getting the concepts again! Am I following the flock again ?????? 

Accidents : Who is to be blamed?

                      A couple of days earlier when i was having fun with my friends somebody came and informed us that two of my juniors died as they met with a major accident on the way home.Now all the happiness and fun we had just vanished in a second! I did not know how to react as i do not know exactly who they are!But what i just know is two kids who have been dreaming for at least the last eighteen years of their life to achieve something big and have already crossed thousands of others and joined in one of the best universities in the state and just very few milestones left  to reach the chequered flag and take up the responsibilities of a man died a few minutes ago,they died because of an accident!
                         
                 
                     An accident , as we go by the definition which we mugged up in our lower classes that is an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury.  It may be due to our carelessness or others which is often unpredictable.
                     
                     The guys were on a two-wheeler and driving at an average speed of around 45km/hr which is not even such a great speed to consider.But then suddenly a bus came from behind initially hit them and then dragged them to around 500 metres .This tells us how great pain would they have undergone before they died.There were blood marks on the road and they died crying with pain . The bus driver flee from there and it was not his mistake too!But he knows that he would be jailed if he would have stayed there for longer !
                       
                     Now whose mistake is it ? Is it the driver's ? The guys ? Or the fate ?  Who and what should be blamed? After the blame game can we regain their lives who are dead ? No we cannot ! This is just to tell people we do not how , where and why it occurs  . But we just know that it can occur.Instead why dont we be careful? 

                    We cannot just avoid two wheeler as we know the fun of driving a two wheeler in college days  can never come back but life is very very important when compared to the fun.I am not saying avoid two wheeler but just be too cautious while driving it!Just to impress girls or to show off with their most expensive bikes most of them drive too fast performing stunts too....!It is dangerous for them as well as others too but they never realise it!


                    This is dedicated to both the guys who passed away very recently .They are strangers to me  but all i can say is "Rest in peace".

Over confidence

                NOVEMBER , its the time of exams again.Nervousness creeping in but still we try to act bold and confident.We take a deep breath and say relax! we still have time to study.For most engineering students ,atleast from my college internal marks are generally good.But what about the people who did bad or who couldnt cheat in the exams? I guess they have to slog and slog to get a good score or  atleast to pass in the exams.

               For most people gpa is important atleast for those who think big or for students who are under pressure.And for them if they fail to perform well in even one sem,  their cumulative grade point average will go down .And their dreams which they have been visualizing since years may just crash.

                These are the things going on in my mind since i saw my internal score last week which was 284/360.And this is quite low compared to my previous performances!I immediately came home sat down and started imagining how my external score would be .I calculated the max. grade point average that i can score this sem which is 8.4.Even if i dont sleep for a week from now and start preparing also thats really really hard to achieve this sem.When i realised it i felt very down ,scolded myself .

               And if i dont score more than 8.4 this time i cannot attend the recruitment of two  big companies which are going to visit my college next year which i always dreamt to be a part of !I realized this fact but it was too late by then.Now i just cant do anything except for preparing as much as i can .My fingers are crossed just waiting for some miracle to happen .

                 But the back up plans are always there if not a job i ll take up some other course but my confidence is i would definitely land up somewhere high.This confidence turned into over confidence for a while ,which resulted in bitter consequences.And now all the over confidence has vanished.

The Dictator

             Dictator as the word  goes ,it means a tyrant or an absolute ruler.Previously they were dictators all over but now the world hates dictatorship.The main reasons could be one Adolf Hitler or Mussolini or Stalin  or Saddam Hussain or may it be any other.But the point is should all the dictators be shot dead or hung?Is there no value for whatever good they did in their past track records? Is their life not even worth of re-consideration ?Are they not even allowed to give one last explanation to their subjects? Should they be killed so ruthlessly? Dont they get a chance to live ? to change ? to lead their life normally again with a transformed soul ? Cant they be counselled by a psychiatrist ? 


               These are the questions which arouse in my mind when i saw the video of MUAMMAR GADAFFI being killed.When blood covered his total face and when  he realised death is very close ......what is that ,that a great dictator who ruled a country for 42yrs would like to say in his last moments?what would have had been his last wish ? If given a chance would he apologise ? nobody cared .Nobody really cared.Is it that he did not do anything for his country in 42 yrs? Is it that there is nothing that he wanted to explain to his subjects on when he is captured? 


               But nobody thought of these things prolly because of the mental and physical agony he caused to them directly or indirectly.I admit he never knew the value of life but we did.... i mean all his subjects did know the value as they were under pressure since long.They could have captured him ,questioned him and could have tortured him and made him realise how big a mistake he committed ! Prolly he could have changed and spent his rest of life  behind the bars but in peace.


               I am not supporting or opposing the great dictator but only saying that what he did for Libya on a positive note was great .No other leader or dictator did that to any other country.This link will lead you to something in brief what he did for his nation.http://expertscolumn.com/content/list-good-things-muammar-gaddafi-done-people-libya


                So this is in regard to the great leader in my opinion who was the cause for LIBYA to stand in par with other developing nations.
