RE- test!! I want it to be happen in my actual life!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:45:00 +0000

Past few weeks were damn hectic and hot.As we all were enjoying our "SPRING FIESTA",no one noticed that we came to year end.
Obviously it was followed by submissions and term test. Past weeks were just entangled into write-ups checking , term test preparation (REALLY?? :D) and term test.Now as we just ended up with the one and only term test of this semester , a new time table posted on our face!! RE-Term test!!!Term test is matter of joking for all of us . Re-test is more than that!भाई जो term test मे कर नही पाए वो Re-test मे क्या उखाड लेंगे??Conducting Re-test is just waste of time & paper! Let it be.
I took off today and rested a bit! Some rare moments!! Then with a cup of tea in a hand,I went to my garden to get some fresh air.Experienced a fresh evening there.Today was somhow different atmosphere.I enjoyed it.

While absorbing the silence and sunset magic,"RE"-test thought came up in my mind! Why we have re-test in college? Just to make sure that the mistakes done previously should get corrected and we should proceed (ideally)with a pass stamp.A second chance given to get your academic stuff back on track.Then the vary next question I asked myself is 'why just we don't get a Re-test for real life?'

Life is a chain of never ending tests.Some skip,some face,some win,some lose.Sometimes a situation goes out of your hand and you are left to only watch it silently.Sometime you lose a relation just because of bad ego.Moments you missed in life won't come back.Everybody feels that he/she should have got a second chance.

A second chance given to an engineer (who is best at music than engineering) to select his own field of interest will change his entire life.A chance to a mad lover to propose ON time is the thing which he might want to do.A person who's Last stage cancer is detected would be the most happy to get the second chance.He will LIVE the moments with his dear one's.

Why we can't have second chance??? WHY WHY WHY??
The dialogue with myself came to an abrupt end when I took a sip and came to know that cup was empty.Really If I had a second chance I would have enjoyed it once again..I went back to fill my empty cup with refreshing tea!

Friends,Life is just about that !!! Feel the cup of joy with the drink of positivity and simplicity whenever it gets empty.You won't need the second chance then!

Following the nasty semester pattern,we engineering student are left totally destroyed at the end of each semester.My engg buddies will understand the real meaning of "destroyed". After the long sem filled with practicals,'fucking useless' assignments which are meant to produce only "raddi",we are left alone to face the Goliath "The Mumbai University Exam".
Six month's harassment camp ends up withfrustration and everytime I feel like an orange with no juice left in it.So I pack my bags & get my ass moved outta my house.Sometimes to visit Goa,

Sometimes a freaky bicycle trip with my wicked friends or sometime a trek just to get myself back on track.

Siting at the bank of river Krishna , I eventually felt spiritually full,happy and satisfied.Indeed.The journey we did (Me and my cousin Aniket) was a real adventure filled with the moments of frustration,anger,fatigue,fear and happiness.

When I called my cousin Aniket Sane on 19th of June 2011 and told that we were going to Dhom(a village 9 Km away from Wai,Satara) ,neither of us thought that we were going to have an exotic tour.Aniket currently working as clerk at Bank Of India (Mahad branch,Konkan) is a pukka bankwala.Not ready to take a single day off,he asked me to plan a saturday-sunday-Monday trip.(Monday was holiday I guess!).

On 2 july 2011,I started the journey alone.I was going to join Aniket at Mahad where he would have completed his Saturday work hours.Reaching Mahad was quite troublesome when I missed Badlapur-Mahad Bus.
"What the fuck!!!!!" How could I miss the only bus which would have taken me directly to Mahad.Now I had to go first to Kalyan and then to Panvel to catch a bus.Another 50 Km added!!.I catched a train to reach Kalyan and then a local transport bus to Panvel.
Travelling in local trains of Mumbai is itself a big deal.And if you have heavy luggage with you then "God" also won't be able to help you.With lots of 'Gaalis', I somehow managed to get out of train at Kalyan railway station.By the time I understood that day wasn't mine but luckily as soon as I reached Panvel bus depot ,I got bus to Mahad.A sigh of relief !! phew....

Panvel To Mahad:

We left Panvel city behind and joined the mumbai-goa highway.As usual it was flooded with vehicles.Our bus driver was driving so fast and that one moment I thought he must be a pro NFS player.MAN!! He was at his best... His driving skills were really awsm and I was literally enjoying the journey.Along with the "PRO" driver , the natural beauty of Konkan was with us to reduce my frustration level at greater extent.

At Mahad:
I reached Mahad around 1 O'clock.I went straight to BOI to pick up bro but he was already waiting with bad news.He was going to arrange a bike for us so that we could had an adventure while crossing Mahabaleshwar ,Panchgani.
"Sorry yaar ",he started with an apology letter and proceed explaining me how the things got worse and how he couldn't manage bike.I couldn't say a word as my whole trip was screwed and I was terribly upset , angry and lost.It was time to be practical.We rushed to bus depot to catch earliest bus.

Things were getting worse!! Real worse!!!

Can you imagine what happened at bus station??

We went to inquiry counter and asked for the earliest bus to Wai.The answer we got eventually made me laugh!! I started laughing like hell.It was 2 pm and that person siting behind counter told us that the next bus to wai was at 5.00 pm! I was frustrated,angry and felt real helpless at time.God was playing with me.With empty stomach,numbed brain and crushed ego I was siting at Mahad Bus station.

But then my freak mind came in picture.After 15 minutes of chat with myself I started enjoying the surrounding.The emotions were at peak and instead of bursting out,my mind turned them positively and pulled me back.My anger wrinkled face started smiling and noticing the small small things around me.I realized the utter joy of being screwed and yet happy. Later in those three hours me and bro did a lot of masti , had almost 15-20 cup of tea.My big signature smile returned to my face and I became ready to face another blow!! :D :D

Mahad To Mahabaleshwar :

At last the bus arrived and we grabbed a seat.And I was like "Phew.Chalo.Atleast seat toh mili".

While bus was climbing the pratapgad-poladpur ghat , we were busy in watching nature's beauty and capturing it.Each turn would bring a much rejoicing scenery.

At a point you see a waterfall and the very next turn you realise that you are siting in window at side of valley and clouds are downed so much that visibility is less than 20 feets pumps adrenaline into body.

Once again 100% marks to driver chacha!It's really tough to drive in such condition and that too with having responsibility of so many people.Craving the road through the clouds we reached Mahabaleshwar.

One of my hottest destination.

Mahabaleshwar

Mahabaleshwar To wai:

We reached Wai around 8 pm.The chilling atmosphere of Mahabaleshwar & Panchgani gave the goose bumps.While observing and absorbing the chilling weather , sleep caught me !
"Abey chal,uth ata.... wai ala"(Wake up,we reached wai)Bro brought me back to earth.
I woke up , took my bag and we were on Wai bust stand!
We had completed 90% of travelling.Only 9 Km were remaining....

Wai:

My native place Wai holds a solid place in history.The connections goes down to the era of The Great Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Wai is also known as "Dakshin Kashi" (दक्षिण काशी) .It is also known for the various temples like famous "Dholya Ganpati"( ढोल्या गणपती).
It's not just a spiritual place.But its the hottest destination for bollywood.Yeah!! Wai has been a film-shooting location. Films like Omkara, Mrutyudand, Swades, Gangājal , Dabangg and Singham are shot in Wai and the nearby villages. like Dhom, Bavdhan, Chikhli, Menvali, Bhuinj, Pachwad & the sorruoudings of Dhom, Balakwadi, Jambhali & Nagewadi dams.

I love my "gaav" but hate it's local transport system.
1) State Transport buses which have less frequency especially when interior villages are concerned.
2)Auto-Rickshaws which are too costly.
3)private taxiz(where 20 ppl travel in a single tata sumo or a matador)

Another blow and Ninz on fire:

At 8.10 pm , me and aniket were having a special chai at a hotel.Now we were just 9 km away from our destination! I knew that there were no bus to Dhom after 7.30 pm so we moved on to catch share taxi..("jisme 1 gaadi me 20-25 log thoose jate he !! )

But God had something different plan.Hoping to get some transport to dhom we headed to spot where these private jeeps or matador used to halt.And then..............
Another problem!!!!
Man!! The day was filled with so much problems.I was totally pissed off and was expecting a fast ride to dhom.Hungry,angry and frustrated I literally sat on road when I saw that not a single vehicle was there.Later I came to know that a week before the ACP of satara was changed and new ACP closed this non permit taxi's.At night these taxis are the only way to reach interior part.

Boundry of wai.city

Now what to do?? Jaaye to kaha jaye?? My blood pressure was so high that I could feel that now I'm gonna burst out.Bhai suggested to take a room at lodge but I was totally upset and angry.
"Why me??Why me always?" I was literally fighting with myself.I could understand the bike ,bus problem but this crushed my ego totally..I couldn't let the situation win easily this time.I decided....Kuch bhi ho jaye abhi aaj hi Dhom jake rahenge..

Aniket didn't had idea..I said,"Chal,ab chalke jayenge!!!"
I was the decision maker that time and my poor bro followed me.We crossed the boundary of WAI.The night was cold , I was determined and we were walking......

Climax:

As we moved further and realized that It was becoming much much lonelier with each step we were taking.Aniket was frightened a bit and was trying to stop me from doing the insane stuff.But I was in different mood."Mazi satakli hoti" :D
Slowly my anger level came down and finally I started thinking practically.We could have been robbed , or would have became a victim of animal attack. (SNAKES!!!!)But we were accompanied with street lamps and continued walking until we reached to last street lamp on that road.
By the time I did realized that it was sheer "chutia giri " but ab izzat ka savaal tha!!We stopped at a point from where we had to choose a path.Either we would have continued walking in dark or would have to return back.Walking in dark with no clue of what was going around was surely not an option I would have opt for.Another was to go back to wai."peeche hatna matlab haar!!"

GO MADNESS GO:
"GANPATI BAPPA MORYA!!"
We entered into dark!!Turned back for a moment,saw the light,stored in our eyes,looked at each other.Smiled and started walking with the spirit of never backing down.
First half hour passed while we were still adjusting to surrounding.
Complete dark night.Cold,Steady & Determined.

Torch light was disturbing the dark and we were marching towards destination. Ennio Morricone's classic music with the cricket's chirr chirr kept us walking.
The moment we would felt alone on the road,we used to look at sky.
Stars and moon were there for us.
"keep moving. You will find your destination.Not immediately but definitely!!
Don't feel you are alone.We will be always with you!! "

A MEETING WITH GOD:
We were walking with joy though tired , we were enjoying the "WALK".No one to disturb,No one to interrupt.We used to have such long chatting time when we were children.We recalled our childhood........
Leaving villages back one by one we kept walking with the pace.Observing nature's silence , walking with sweat cloths and swelled foot;we suddenly stopped when we smelled refreshing tea.We were stunned.On the road where we were the only human,who was making tea??

It might be some mind game!! I thought.
Knowing the fact that there was smell of tea,we headed forward with caution.As we crossed the next turn ,on that lonely road,saw a tea stall.We figured out the mystery of tea smell and ran for it.
A 'chacha' with long white beard and worm smile welcomed us.He asked where we were going,where we came from and all that typical questions.While bro was talking with uncle , a planetary system caught my mind.A tiny bulb bursting out light thinking himself as sun and the small flying creepy as planets revolving around the bulb formed a planetary system!!
A World inside a World!!!

We rested there for sometime.Although we enjoyed the "WALK",we were damn tired and could hardly put a step forward.We halted at perfect time.We let out foot take some fresh air and took that rejuvenating tea. I have a style to take tea.First I look at tea.Then hold in palm so as to absorb it's heat.Then while doing the same I watch the steam coming out of glass.Then slowly slowly take a sip.Let your mouth experience the aroma , the taste of tea.Then let your throat fill the energy , the heat of tea.It's an art!

It was time to move on.. But chacha didn't take money.We filled ourselves with full of energy and moved on..Within half hour we reached DHOM! PHEWWW!!

We were happy but it wasn't time for celebration.We went to our home and surprised everybody.Grandma , uncles were astonished to see us . We then took dinner and fall asleep..

The morning was awsm.As the village is near dam , the atmosphere is too good.Nature loves you than ever it does at any other place.Whenever I go there , I find myself filled up with positive energy.The temple of 'Narsimha' is also a holy place.The words are not just enough to describe the experience.

'I' don't exists:

In Temple

Morning came up with new thoughts and moods.As we entered into the beauty of nature,it was proved that yesterday's juggad was worth.
I was finally connected to nature.My ego,my pride,my arrogance was smashed.I was as pure as nature.The magic of nature can only be understood with pure mind.I was filled with arrogance and ego!! Nature just wiped it out so that I could have that experience which lasts long.The frustration,anger,fear were just to wash my mind.A pure mind absorbs much more.I was finally with nature;THE SUPERPOWER!!The whole journey ; each incident had a lesson and meaning.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY.IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAR YOU HAVE GONE.

WHAT MATTER IS 'HAVE YOU ENJOYED IT?'

Life have become so fast that we even don't have time to remove our pen drive safely.It is getting more tougher day by day.Students are pressurized with never ending assignment and defaulter lists.We all are working around the clock, getting exhausted.End of the day we go to bed & for what ; just to do this crap again,the very next day.
Meanwhile in this hectic schedule,one thing we don't miss and yes that are updates on social networking sites.Facebook, twitter, Myspace and the other social media have brought the revolution,no doubt about it.But are we paying too much for that? are we totally addicted to these sites?
As such we are not paying 'em a single penny but we have forgotten the time...We are paying our much more valuable time..Although social connect is important and useful , it is taking too much toll.Time isn't the only thing we are losing.There are so many things which are getting affected but we are purposefully ignoring the notifications!! (Not the facebook notifications I'm talking about!! :D)
When we are working on our pc,no matter what we do,we always have facebook & twitter opened on another tab.It is quite natural that we are browsing or doing some stuff and simultaneously we are online.We all do the same but is it necessary??
The question is at what extent we should do it.If we are getting addicted to social networking sites then it is bad..real bad.Think a little and you will realize that you have missed many things while you were online.Make a list of such things you think that you have probably missed.And then you will realize.

When I calculated whether it was worth being online instead of doing other things,the only answer came is "NO".I really missed so many things like having a night walk or reading a book or just siting quiet and absorbing the silence .Ask yourself,when did you give time to yourself?.Plugging ourselves into virtual world had eventually resulted in unplugging from nature.
"Now what??" We all know that we are addicted to social networking sites.To continue it or not it's our choice.We have to understand the importance of life otherwise nothing will change.Till then,think. If you understand that it should change then be the change you want.Start giving time to yourself.In this rat race , the one who is getting ignored most is the person who we see in mirror. Start meditating.Nature have enormous power.We just need to extract it.Start loving nature.It will surely love you back.

At the end one question I would like to ask..
If you are always online on facebook then does it mean that you don't have social life..?
...................................................................................................................................................................
(To be continued)

Have a good evening!Wish you happy mahashivratri.

Education system is one of the most important factor as far as future of a nation is concerned.It affects major sectors.And it is inevitable.Of all existing resources,human resource is most valuable,vulnerable and important.Either people will build a nation or straight away land it to the hell.
       People who serves for the nation are real hero and we call them legends.We had so many of them.Now-a-days to find the people belonging to such category is damn difficult. In the clumsy surrounding like this we won't even  dare to think that there is a possibility of finding good people working hard and proving themselves in state like BIHAR.
      My this frame of mind has been totally destroyed by the fabulous work of prof.Anand kumar.Recently I read a column on his work for which he has been awarded "PRACHARYA YASHWANTRAO KESKAR YUVA PURASKAR".This was for his project named 'super 30'.Before I share more info about SUPER 30 let me tell about him.Prof. Anand kumar.He graduated from arts faculty choosing mathematics as his subject.He wanted to go for higher education and he was also selected by Cambridge university but he couldnt go due to financial problem.Then he lost his father. So he joined a school as a teacher and moved on.He knew how he raised himself from bad circumstances for studies.when he was doing his job he kept that in his mind.He used to see the poorness of people from lower class and how their children won't opt for basic education.
Prof, left the job and laid the foundation of RAMANUJAN SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS. He use to select 30 students who need real help.He taught them with negligible fees. For some of them it wasn't possible to pay that also. For them he provided shelter and food.He did all these thing and prepared them for IIT-JEE.These student were belonging from poor families like farmers,rikshawalas,kamgar ppls like that....
In last 8 years out of 240 students 212 succeed to enter in IIT campus.....This is what SUPER 30 means...
  Times magzine declared it as the best coaching class in Asia.For this year for 30 seats ,total 11000 students from zharkhand,up,bihar and mp applied.Well its a fact not a fiction...Furthermore he was asked to be honorable speaker at IIM-AHMADABAD....................
THIS YEAR OUT OF 30 STUDENT 24 MADE IT TO IIT.....

This sounds awsm guys...I mean just overwhelming.It's rare to find such a devotee.In a country where educational institutes are converted into business franchise,it seem that what example this person have set is beyond imagination.I personally thinks that We should go for such good projects.I categories Prof, Anand kumar as modern saint.And its true only..Working for society without expecting anything is just great....
Salute to such guy.

गणपती बाप्पा मोरया

The first post on my new blog.I'hv been blogging since 09.From 2010 I started my marathi blog.Now It's my new blog 'ninz:unplugged'.

Life is full of expectations.But there is still something more in life to explore.The more you explore the LIFE ,more you will love it.
In this damn hectic schedule where we have time to check updates on FB & Twitter,we don't even look at the mind's notifications.We didn't check updates of our individual life from a long time.......

So,Let's rexplore the life.
On this voyage,we will visit from the utmost energetic fountains of positive attitude to the desert of rotten,negative thoughts.
Nobody is been gifted with total positive charisma.It's life and everything is balanced in somewhat freakiest style.What matters is our choice!
At the end I will just say,"Think best & Be the best!"
Enjoy the life!!

WISH:

Everybody got a wish..........

so do I..........

Today or tomorrow we all gonna die,...

Itz inevitable

And Not compatible,

To any device of mind I connect

It cant proceed as it disconnects..

They say u must be the "saint"

To discover the all

Its gets me faint

I cant make any calls

Thus it dumps me in loneliness

Where me n my mind do some stuff

People say me u juz bluff

Why don’t u accept that u r not worth.

I juz give ‘em sigh of forgiveness

Let them follow their own way

Coz me n my mind follow our own instinct

And that’s why I don’t pay for THEIR piece of shit….

We got one life and the only chance

WHY to use only to drink and dance..

Life is 30% dance and rest of is all ur responsibilities

Which put u under mask of Fakieness

& you pretends that you got seriousness…

Close ur eyes ,,,think thousand times

if u can see LIFE’s emptiness

if u can find ur existence.

Then my friend I would say “Watch ur back”

Coz U are on the track………

Track.. at the end of which u discovers the real meaning of life.

"Mercy".

after the war is over

Thats the price of life..

Its bad

but we dont have any choice

So let it go n do ur job

Clear ur ALL FILES

So that u can sign off this world

WITH YOUR OWN STYLE

-NINAD PETHKAR.
