Stars in the Sky

It is not secrete that the sky is something very huge and all other words relating it to its vastness. It has been proven number of times that it is something which we can’t touch. That is why we always say ‘Sky is the limit’. The sky has always fascinated me because of lots of reasons. Many times I look above and I shall find at least one painting formed by conglomeration of clouds on the canvas of the sky. The arrangement of clouds becomes so beautiful that it becomes very easy to identify something meaningful. Of course this happens with me only day time but at night the sky becomes the most beautiful thing in this world. The reason is known to everyone. This is the time when the Sun God goes for the rest after day’s hard work and asks its little friends to please the mankind with their splashing beauties. It is so amazing how these stars can do this beautiful thing since ages. Every night they will come and do their job but they never will expect anything from us. I used to observe them in my childhood. My father being a geography teacher, always encouraged me to observe the sky. He helped me to identify different stars and their formations at particular point of time.

We all can identify that not every star shines with equal intensity. Some are bright and some are not. Even the farthest star tries to reach out to us. But still they never compete with each other. They are happy with whatever they have and they believe to share their light with us. But the truth is every star is equal in its capacity. What matters is their relative distance with us. Some are much brighter but enough far to look dull. But the nature has a perfect harmony to balance this and that’s why after ages of formation of universe it looks as beautiful as it used to. We also have to realise the relative distance of so many things in our lives. It is true that closer things always look bright but if we are pursuing the beauty of life we need to reach out to the distant points as well. We need to try to reduce all relative distances if we want to. And if we don’t then also it is fine with the stars because they know in all probability they have to do their job as usual. So decision is always ours.

One Year

Today I completed my one year’s stay in Bangalore. I came here with a small dream in my mind. Though it was the first day, I didn’t feel like that. In fact I found bangalore much more similar like Pune. The weather and social structure was more or less similar. Here I met few of my best buddies. It is rightly said that you will always feel scarcity for friends, more you get more you want. The management education life began with full speed. Late night working for lots of assignments and waking up late and getting late for everything became a part of life. Though presentation was not a new thing for me but it definitely had a new dimension. I still remember my first presentation which was a grant failure from my side. I took feedback from several people and they really helped me out. Later presentation and other work really became part of life. Slowly I tried to overcome all deficiencies in that. There was not much interaction with seniors so everything was new with every new day. Then we shifted to our new campus.

Here after my graduation I got involved with new and wonderful people from my batch. What we didn’t enjoy? Everything. WonderLa was awesome, parties, regular outings and all. We used to fight because of group working and at the same time we used to help each other. More or less we all increased our social exclusivity. Sundays were more than festivals for us. Meeting after Diwali was as if we were meeting after a long gap so were we associated with each other. This was the first year where I celebrated my birthday after a significant gap. First time I made the mistake while riding the bike and still I am enjoying the injury. This was the year where I learn that drastic changes can’t affect us much if we are determined because economic slowdown scared us literally but I became more optimistic and confident in myself.

This was the year where my academic records were very low during initial days. But I regained after that and now I am in a comfortable zone. In this year I took marketing as my field of career. This was the year of lots of ups and downs. One of my friends used to write “every wound causes a scar and every scar reminds us about our survival”. This year gave me such scars but I came out of them successfully. I survived from them. It is a truth that life doesn’t wait for anyone. We have to accept truths and have to move on.

This was the year when I did some serious job during my internship. That experience gave me the enrichment in my life.

Now after one year my junior batch has started its course in this campus. We are seniors now. But nowhere have I felt that a year has passed now. I remember everything as if it happened in last moment. Anyways I can’t pull back the time.

I always perceive that Life is beautiful and we have to make it more beautiful. During this entire year, my friends made my life much easier than I expected. This was the year I never did any thing which I used to do during my graduation. I lived this year as a holiday from my regular life. That’s why this year is special to me. Thanks to all those who made it more special.
