Another Two States - PART - 3

           College was not so dull after all,as narrated by some intellectuals,for engineering nerds,constituting up big projects to complete,weary laboratory works to be accomplished and frightful lecturers giving students

 nightmares about the monthly scheduled test papers with an obligation to beautify each paper with good grades so as to be a graceful engineer, at the end of four years.The allure of vogue fashion statements showcased by a handful of girls, considered to be eye candies by some,to confess,by all,prattled talks in the cafeteria,guys fulfilling the tall,dark, handsome criteria seemed good enough reasons to dazzle the new boys and girls and also our very own girl from the daily course of studies,at least for a certain era of time,known as the freshers month.


           Okay so now here at ITS we had a tradition ,for one whole month,you got to follow ,the not so convincing orders of the seniors,got to say, act, talk, walk,think, dream, everything just every little thing was to be done according to the vogue ,decided by the seniors.Obey the rules,get rewarded,disobey the rules,you will never forget the freshers month.The rules and instructions were simple,as everything in the world seems to be, in first,but remember the deeper you go the hotter the earth crust gets!and that's what freshers month was like,unless you are God's special child like Tiya,having a cousin brother,Electrical department,in 4th year,possessing a quite impressive resume to scare away the awful souls to keep their eyes off her ,but only her.Tiya had a vigorous fight ,as to why she ,Namita ,wasn't granted the official badge to roam around freely,being her roommate,but an opportunity to overpower someone's soul completely doesn't seemed like a candy to loose so easily for the big guys.The official freshers month existed too,however a bit too vague to be excited about, but the unofficial one,the most precarious one, was something one should really really be careful about to be at peace for the rest of their Engineering life.According to the rule book the month following the orientation ceremony was chosen to be the freshers month,by the college as well as the seniors, unbiased apparently.It wasn't the official one,that the students were waiting to begin ,it was how their seniors were gonna scratch their heads to take total control of the first year students.Certain dressing codes along with certain guidelines to behave were announced,to be followed by each and every student without any obligations and queries,in every block where any fresher resided.Things came out to be nightmare for guys as they were supposed to keep their eyes down for the senior ladies and mouth shut for the younger ones,in short,no talking with any female soul was allowed.There was no point opposing it hence everybody just surrendered to the other demands too like ,hair ,to be oiled a way too properly,full sleeves white shirt and brown pants,on all working days with big, I repeat big leather shoes!For girls,no jeans,as you might have guessed, but the suits were supposed to be trendy and not just the usual ones with proper dupattas and all.The hairdo part was supposed to be like boys accompanied by two neat ponytails.Girls were somewhat little lucky,don't ya feel so!After all girls are girls!The whole life guys keep thriving to be with the best girl they might ever know so I guess that explains all!


 Namita was all set to go for her second day hoping that things will go in a a similar fashion as that of yesterdays wary day.With her fingers crossed and eyes searching a friendly face,she entered the class and saw a place on the second last bench of the first row empty.Without wasting a second, she acquired that place and the next moment found her new bench mates for the day."Hello",said the one sitting next to Namita."Hi",said Namita inspecting and realizing her to be quite pretty and full of life to talk to."My name is Barkha and I am from delhi and  you are from..?",said the girl without a pause."I am from ....."."Oh okay that's a nice place .I have been to it.So friends?And by the way this is my friend and from now yours too, Himani"."Hi ,I am Himani",said the third girl on the bench ,finally."Hi.."and before Namita could complete her words entered their lecturer with their Head of Electronics and communication department."Hello students ,please be seated I am here for just a few welcoming words to be shared.Well,from now onwards you are a part of this institution for the next four years and it depends on you, whether you get promotion or demotion from your current educational and personal qualifications and standards during the tenure of the next four years.The college and the faculties will help you out in all the ways possible and to wrap up the whole thing,at the end,I would expect that you all will respect the institutions rules and would abide by them proving to be a good individuals."."Thank you sir,"said the male lecturer accompanying the HOD and continued,"I am your class in charge and would take your main subject communication theory,being first year you will only be...So starting with the main topic..."and hence the lecturer hummed about something but Namita's mind was already preoccupied to keep a track of what was being taught in the class.Secondly the freshers month had begun so from tomorrow all the set of rules were to be followed,happily or unhappily,that was left for the freshers to decide.


 Why is that life changes its face so quickly that its too hard sometimes ,or always to be at pace with it's unclear enigmatic path.Why is is that relations change their form so fast ,without leaving any space to adjust or to get accustomed to the new pattern.And why is that the new changes are not always so warm and welcoming.During the whole day, all that kept Namita away from studies was,why was it that today Sakshi and Vipsa were not sitting with her?Is she so dull?..that it takes only a day for her Grey looks to avert people from her?What's wrong with her?Why she can't be more than polite and understanding towards human nature?Well,these thoughts might be boring or may look a bit awkward or present an exaggerating emotion donned by Namita but for her,the only thing she was concerned about,more than her studies, was why she was unable to make friends on the second day even!During the lunch hours too she was with her new colleagues.All the way, back and forth from class to mess, she kept on thinking why all of a sudden this change had occurred.But she was helpless and thought to give it a deep thought at night,soaked into tears as tears were her,doubtless best friend.After finishing all the chores she rushed to her room.

 Tiya had already gone for the volleyball practice hence it was just the perfect time for her to be in her grey form.She straight away went to bed,lying upside down on her stomach,throwing the bag away from herself,depicting her throwing skills,and kept on thinking about the class' happenings till she fell asleep.All she dream of was about she being again with Sakshi and Vipsa clearly showing how hard it was for her to make new relations.The dream would have continued but guess someone wasn't in a mood to let her unconscious mind to take more control of her for the moment.Her phone was ringing.She vaguely searched for it and discovered it finally on some deep edge of the bed and as she pressed the answer key ,heard somebody knocking at the door."Hello..",she somehow managed to attend the door as well as her phone at the same time.Tiya was standing ,imaptiently to get in,all soaked in sweat.But Before she could open her mouth Namita made herself busy in the phone."Hey..what a pleasant surprise.I wasn't expecting a call from you at this hour of the day.Anyways..How ya doing..?",Namita looked too excited to Tiya to guess that somebody from home was on the other side."OH..Okay..cya then.Bye",the call ended,was very short to be precise but the smile it gave, everlasted on Namita's face."So Tiya how was your today's volleballsession?",the question came as a surprise for Tiya from Namita, anywasy we know Tiya loves to narrate every little thing that had happened and hence all she was concerned with ,she had been offered the chance to speak,finally and both the roomies spent a nice time that evening.


            And so the night marks the end of the third part of the story.But certain new theories have emerged which do need an explanation!Why were Vipsa and Sakshi not sitting with Namita today?Does she really need to be avoided so early?Who was on the other side of the call?and the million dollar question..what's so important in the freshers party that it is going take over almost two next parts!Well to find out the answers,hope you know what to do!Keep reading.Adios.

           

Is Life Always Worth Living?

        Neither am I sadist nor a depressed soul to come up with such a weird topic to write on!
 I too want to be happy, wish to narrate about the happy times I have always imagine to have and to come up with the the Hollywood movies ending titles -live happily ever after but I don't know why I always end up in everlasting tears, unbearable pain and unforgettable dreading memories.I have tried a lot investigate the reason behind such a miserable condition of my life but have been a sore loser all the times but I won't sit still until and unless I find the reason for the flaws,my smile possess,misery,my life and destiny is into and the unlucky allure ,attracting me into precarious situations,I fall into,knowingly or unknowingly !

          Life is like a roller coaster ride,full of unpredictable ups and downs,it's like a road ,sometimes smooth sometimes rough.
 To assume it will always run according to our wishes, is simply foolishness but to lose all hopes for it to at-least mold according to our desires is being more foolish.Life,of-course isn't a piece of cake but then it ain't rocket's science either.Every coin has two faces,both being so indifferent yet constituting up the identity of the coin and so is with life.If it's showing you its bare fangs today then one should wait for the cosy hug that is sure to follow.you just got to be patient for the right moment to come.Being happy isn't impossible! As all it requires is a pair of 5 letter words,"BEING HAPPY".Life without a purpose is a journey without a destination.With no aim in life,no boundaries to mention your needs,no limitations on your desires and no parameter for your gratification, one can never be happy.

    

         Sometimes in life the degree of hardships extend to the effect that everything seems to be coming to an end.Hopes,wishes,faith and even desire to live decays.The pitiful and only condition of living this life is , no matter what you face,you got to face.Troubles don't knock seeking your society status or your mental status,it just strikes.Welcome them with a smile or depression ,is your choice.At times the whole concept of living,doing things even smiling seems to be futile but the truth doesn't goes like that my friend.Life may seem to be the painful experience but with pain comes relief and hope.
Hope to live life in a much better way,be happy by doing good to others,peace by appreciating others qualities.It's just a matter of interpretting things from a optimistic perspective.pessism - optism, negativity - positivity, darkness - brightness etc are some antonym pairs which start with negative words but end with positive words.

                 Life has been the greatest virtue ever known to human race,the greatest gift by God which comes in so many colourful packages, yet all that we see,are the grey shades, it holds !But the question is WHY? Why we humans leave no stone unturned to corrupt God's Angelic plans, and ourselves fall, knowingly all the time, into the pit of self pity, yet blame God,destiny, circumstances for all the frightful happenings in our lives.

 A student fails a test, blame goes on God, boy breaks up with a girl, God is questioned, failure in business or job, God is held responsible, why? Until when are we going to simply escape the truth,the truth that we, ourselves are solely responsible for whatsoever happens with us.Destiny do plays a role in certain way but the major part is only and always because of our own past or future planned actions.Putting blame on others won't do anything but simply introduce agony,depression and emptiness in life.Who is it that we are fooling by doing so?Who?None but us,our self!God helps those who help themselves,old but very true.So why not help our own-selves?Why be shy or ignorant of it?Help is always available to those who ask , but have to be careful what you ask for.Asking for things which you are yet not mature enough to receive or capable of attaining is something which only lead you to the gray shades of life.

Ever thought how human race came into existence?How God came upon with an idea to create man and woman and initiate the whole life cycle?Well yes, it's too complicated to search every basic detail because google still has certain questions yet to be answered but ever thought how we get a new day everyday and as to who has the control of all the living and non living matter known to us.Sometimes the existence of some superpower is too prominent to neglect but do we science geeks believe all that that fails to make an inverted image on our retina?Do we?Then why not believe in the Supreme Power's existince?I am not touting any religion or God but to taste the real ultimate peace of mind, one should learn to move on from the hollow materialistic things of the world.

We all wish to be happy but one cannot be happy all the time !Even the thought of being happy every moment induces a sense of unhapiness in our mind.But what actually is the element for happiness? Money? Love? Power?Fame?Beauty?What..?What is it that takes someone to smile.A real smile, excluding any sadness involved in any deep dark corner of the pulpating heart! Many spend their whole life searching for the real thing but many acclaim to achieve it,surprisingly, at a very timid stage of life.Many cases of sucide are reported daily.Talking on moral basis, if you can't give anything, don't even expect to get anything and if you can't help out with the way you have made your life then you have no right to take it either ! Because your life isn't only yours..it belongs to the people who gave you your life,your parents,it belongs to the people who make your life,your siblings,friends,strangers etc.So don't ever think of snatching the beutiful life given by others to you from them or God will never forgive you !

     
Some people have all the world's comforts yet they complain to be unhappy and claim to be depressed! Is it because till now no one has been able to invent a machine that measures the degree for yourpain, anguish and happiness? People allow themselves the luxury of being mad when they are in a position to do so !

When one can be happy then why not be it?God loves us.Yes he does.We say he gives us troubles but why don't we see the solutions he provides with them?Why only the darker side of the story is most strikingly noticed and the subtle part passes away like an impasse.Spirituality may be sought as one solution for seeking inner minds peace.Having an ideal or idol,to worship infuses divine love in life.God created us and hence he helps us in our very own existence too.All we need is to trust him.Trust in his divine powers,thank him for all the kindness shown and gratitude pondered upon.Why human becomes so adamant that he refuses to belive in someone above him,above the world,above all.Why?Why can't we peacefully follow some orders which we know are for own benefit.God loves us and we should reciprocate his love too.

                 To sum up,hapiness requires worlds most basic and very easily available ingredients.Find someone with whom you can share your thoughts,your troubles,your happiness and your own self.Find someone whom you can count upon ,irrespective of the period going in your life,happy or sad.Try making someone happy, helping someone,calming one's worries,being besides someone at hard times and hapiness will come to you.Laughter is the best medicine.Live,Laugh, make your surrounidgs and world a better place to live in. Troubles won't leave but atleast facing them with a smile would lessen their pain .Life is definately a thing to rejoice,a thing to live with dignity and make the people realize this too.Hence I have found the answer,

                           "Life is certainly worth living".

       
    

Another Two States PART - 2

                  Love.Love isn't about being with someone 24X7 ,it's thinking about the other one 24X7.Hanging out,roaming around ,talking,hugging,kissing..all these things are just garnish while the main ingredients ,for the dish of Love to be delicious are faith,respect and trust for the other soul.Love doesn't demands expensive gifts,it wants to hear expensive words,it doesn't requires a big bank balance,it needs only a big soothing smile,Love doesn't asks for a luxurious apartment or four wheeler,it only needs warm cosy arms,and love just doesn't mean to be with each other 24X7,it means to be a part of the other even when that other part isn't around!Love should come naturally and not forcibly,should be stable to stay forever.Being with someone,promising life things but then breaking up at the end after just doesn't defines Love...rather it's injustice to the divine word LOVE!So please don't fake out things if you don't know what actually it is all about!as we all should remember that someone somewhere is do keeping a track of all our deeds to reward or punish us accordingly later!

               Coming back to the story.... With a neat attire donned on, Namita was headed to the college,lost in her own world, as usual,when suddenly from behind she heard someone calling out her name, outloud."Namita..Namita wait..".The voice grew much stronger with Namita finally stopping when she realized it was her roommate,Tiya.

               Tiya,nice bubbly girl,zealot for life,enigmatic yet fanatic for everything whether it being studies, playing pranks with the teachers or just simply being herself.She was ,one can say,one of her kind.She was frank,quick,witty yet intelligently stupid and above all knew how to handle depressed souls like Namita!And not to forgot to mention her speaking skills..well you will come to know about this quality of hers as you go on reading!She was from Rajasthan and was a typical adamant kinda girl when it came to arguments about her being from such a dry place,because she moreover looked like a punjabi,and she literally hated being called punjabi,reason being she hated the punjabi cultural,God knows why!To conclude about Tiya,she was a nice,sweet,humble,caring, talkative or let's say ,in short had simple attitude,thinking and beliefs opposite to that what were possessed by Namita.Tiya was a biotech student.

               "Wait Namita,..Gosh..I have been calling your name like from some five minutes now!Where were you lost?.. or, wait were you ignoring me?huh?Well if you admit to the first then it's okay,I can believe that I wasn't loud enough to be noticed but if you are going for the second one then I won't let you go so easy.. because I am not such a dull thing to be ignored, especially by you!So it's better you admit that you heard me just now!..because Tiya really.."."Okay okay Tiya I opt for the first one... so what's the matter?"."You forgot your ID Card honey,the most and the only important thing a college student should always possess other than good looks,intelligence and a witty nature to impress people around you in the first look!..like.."."Okay ,okay I got it.Come-on let's go or the surrounding people will conclude both of us to be a fool while you aren't and then I don't want another lecture from you.(giggle)!"."OH my goodness..You can laugh too?I didn't know that..!.really..but ". "Okay now don't exaggerate it..come on let's go!".This was the first time Namita had smiled since her parents had left.

             Entering the classroom with a courageous heart was not a candyfloss eating for Namita but then she finally gathered all her body,mind and soul,and with broadened shoulders and a calm smile accompanying her lips,went straight into the lecture hall.With an eagle's eye she caught the third bench in the second row to be empty with two sweet looking talkative girls already seated with third place empty as if they already knew of her arrival.She walked to the bench and finally made her presence alive,"Hello,I am Namita from ".Both the girls turned to her with a wry look,as if a couple has been intruded by an uninvited friend,"from.. "Hello..I am Sakshi",said the girl with the bob cut,sitting in the extreme most corner."Hello,I am Vipsa",prattled the other.The one with the bob cut looked a bit irritated by the Namita's invasion in their territory while Sakshi cheerfully started chirping.Namita analyzed the beautiful tone with which she was greeted and had no idea that these two were made to be her best mates for life.Sakshi had just started to narrate about herself when the professor made a winning walk to the classroom."Good morning my friends,it's so nice so see the full strength of the class,at least on the first day,and I should not lie ,but I hope you people will respect the 75% mandatory attendance requirement by the college to be eligible for the university examinations as your first preference to be there in the classes rather than doing other stuffs like, the miss at the last bench, can you please stop talking as I am already in the class and in my class it's me,who gets the authority to open his mouth and not the students unless I feel it necessary for them to do so.!"The electrical professor continued his so much obsessed with himself speech for another 45 minutes,enlightening the weak students with the backlog he had gifted to our seniors and dreading the bright students not to do any work of flattery for his subject."So students,"continued the middle aged guy walking hastily towards the door,"I think I have made my things crystal clear and hence I will see you tomorrow."Namita had been a good listener ,always,natural for a gloomy soul,but today she allowed the lecturer to drone.At lunch Namita came to know that Vipsa was from Delhi and Sakshi had just moved to Delhi from Himachal Pradesh."So how is India's capital like?",asked Namita in a vague voice eating her chapati in the mess,unwillingly of-course as the mess food possessed only an interesting look but no taste."You have never been to Delhi?,the startled voice of Sakshi was loud enough to draw the attention of the fellow mates. "NO",answered Namita cringed to her seat ,more firmly now."That's okay even I myself have been to Delhi only twice",said Vipsa in a serene manner as to sooth the dreadful look of Sakshi.All three of them shared some more official information from their hometowns best things to the grades they secured in their higher classes till they heard the bell indicating that now they got to return to their respective places in the newly named, torture hall by Vipsa.In some 10 minutes Namita was again sitting besides Vipsa with a chemistry lecturer doodling something on the whiteboard but her wanderlust heart kept her busy till she was summoned by the madam to stand up and explain what she wasn't paying heed to."So the girl in the purple,yes, you dear",said the teacher pointing towards Namita," the class would feel privileged to listen to your explanation about the carbon cycle,I was just explaining".It was not the scary look, the teacher possessed which made Namita nervous but her dazzled look which made her hesitant to speak anything but to stand still with head bent down,ashamed of her vague presence in the class."Okay being your first class I can excuse this offense of yours, towards the subject, but you better be careful from now onwards",the words came out of the lecturer's mouth as if she never thought how gruff some alphabets joined together to frame sentences like these can be to some poor souls like her.And so somehow after finishing all the seven lectures for the day ,still wondering why she had joined engineering,she bid adieu to her new friends Sakshi and Vipsa,started sauntering towards her hostel building.With Numerous positive and negative thoughts striking in her mind,various waves of fear and joy arising in heart she somehow made it to her room 302.
 

               So the college life had finally started with studies going on in full rhythm.All round the college, students could be seen with bulky  books with words like Microprocessors, Principles of communication, Random theory and processes titles engraved on them in big letters.for Namita the people were new and so was Life and everything seemed to go fine until came the ,much awaited by every college starter,the freshers party.One can here imagine the freshers party of the ITS Engineering College as one of the most rocking and happening one and more about it...will be disclosed in the next part,till then Keep wondering what's so important that the next part only contains the attractions and happenings of the ITS's freshers party!
