The Real Image

       I am guy who is straight forward and care for things all around me even if it is a plant or my pet animal. When I was in my PG doing my 1st semester there was an incident which taught me what life is and what people’s attitude towards their close friends is.
Once there was a situation where we have to select our electives.

     From our class only I was interested in Hardware and Networking administration and all others were interested in Compiler Design and Data-Mining. I was the class representative so the department was considering my choice as final decision. Since I know no one other than me was interested in H/W and N/W administration I told them I don’t want to force them for my passion so you can offer the elective what they have offered.
       So they offered it and everything was going good but when we saw the performance of the elective subjects I was getting good grades than students who had really opted for it. What My class students did was they gave negative feedback for me stating that since I was more interested into data-mining, Compiler Design I opted for those electives for entire class.
      That day I realized what a big mistake I have done by caring for others by my heart. I promised myself never be your true-self for those who don’t deserve it.Be true only to yourself, parents and the almighty. Even the mirror won’t show your true image until it has to reflect all the light rays which can be possible only if the surface is smooth. We can’t expect everyone to be true to us. But we can be true to people who are true to us

SAILING YOU THROUGH WATERS

        I remember my childhood. School was eight miles from our village and we had not many options for travelling this distance. Either through bus service, or through sailing the Chambal river. The bus fare was rs. 13 and thus it was meant for only rich guys. Though dicey, we had to choose later option. It was Mohan Kaka, who sailed us through river and I still remember the lines, he used to sing while sailing “Wo path kya pathik safalta kya, jis path me bikhre shool na ho.. Aur navik ki dhairya kushalta kya, jab dharae pratikool na ho.!”.

          I was in tenth standard and my final exams were going on. The day, I had my Mathematics exam, our village witnessed one of the heaviest rainfall ever. Cloud bursts, strong winds, threatening thunderstorms and rashing blizzard lashed our village and caused flooding of river Chambal. It became next to impossible for me to reach school and the moment I was about to lose the hope, it was Mohan Kaka who gave hand to me. He became synonym to god for me. Without even caring of his own life, he sailed me to school through alluvioning Chambal.

           That day, I learnt the most important lesson of my life. Life is not about living for personal interests, it is about giving. Life is about scarifying, selfless and generous living. It is nothing else, but the attitude to live for others, which brings mental peace. Life is about exploring Mohan Kaka, hidden in each one of us. The nitty-gritty and complexities of the topsy turvy way of life can only be solved by the feeling of helping others, by looking to someone smiling and knowing that the reason behind that smile is you. Tribute to all life shapers like Mohan Kaka.
