Life…..
Life…. We have heard this word
a number of times. Right from the vocabulary of a common man to the most
experienced scientist. But actually what
is it? What’s life?
Is it the morning sunrise or
the downing sunset or is it the moon with the twinkling stars? Well, if we make
a keen observation, then life is something which is more precious than a pearl.
And damn luckily we have got a chance to live it. Life is just a mixture of
happiness and sorrow which is to be lived in every breath. God has endowed us
with such a beautiful gift but in the day to day hustle bustle we are unable to
live it. We fail to recognize its importance. Our whole day moves along with
needles of the clock and again, ready to windup for the next work. But do we
stop for a moment and ask what are we doing with our life and where are we??
If you will ask this question
to yourself then surely you will get some response, because you cannot lie to
yourself. If you are living your life for a purpose then you are on a right
track, if not then think about it at this very moment and decide. Get it to
know your purpose and along with enjoy your life.
Now let’s move to a new
station of life i.e. happiness and sorrow. These two things come together hand
in hand. They are the two sides of the same coin. Every man wants happiness, he
only likes this word, but you get the sweetness of happiness only if you have
tasted sorrow or difficulty. The happiest person in the world can be the only
one who tries to remain happy in the painful situation too. A situation comes
when you feel that all the difficulties come to your way only, but just don’t
forget , it’s such a kind of drought which is going to move away and one
little drop of water is going to fulfill your land of sorrow with grains of
happiness. That’s life…
One more thing to add about
life : don’t live it just for yourself, sometimes try to live it for
others too. Think of their happiness, their sorrows. Try to keep others happy
and unknowingly you will also be happy.
People say, every human being
on this earth gets a chance to live life only if he has done several good
deeds. It must be true also, because such a divine gift couldn’t be received
without any efforts. So if you have got it, then live it in every breath, don’t
put it on tomorrow. Live for today and at this very moment. No one has seen the
future; you may or may not be alive. Thus these are the moments, live it and
enjoy your life, may be with happiness or with sorrow.

Silence……Exams in Progress!!
Mostly , we think that our country is facing corruption, terrorism,
harassment these prominent problems which are giving a hard push to the
base of our national integration; drawing away a man from humanity but there is
one most important thing which separates us – students , friends……. That
horrifying thing is
EXAM….!!!!!!
It does sound strange but that is the truth.…!
The present atmosphere of our college is its prime witness. When
exams come , everyone becomes busy in finding notes. For that, they start using
the library , Xerox centers , study rooms etc. These places are filled with
crowds during exam days. Otherwise the Canteen , College Kattas and
Corners are full of students and friends having happy times and during
exams these get stranded. Usually after attending lectures, all are busy to go
to the canteen in order to reserve their spots, but during exam time all
directly go to their houses without meeting anyone. Why ???????? Only
because of Exams……
Otherwise, though our departments ,our subjects are not common ,we all
meet together , enjoy and share everything but when exams arrive, chatting
subjects take a turn to ‘when will be our extra lectures ?’, ‘Is there any
question bank given?’ ,Have you got any notes of this chapter?’....
During exam times those who have answers to our questions ,
become our friends (only for exam time J).
Whenever anyone has some work or want to share something,
then everyone has an SMS pack, a net pack and whenever we get
a chance to chat we don’t miss it. But during exams it's like , NO NET , NO
SMS… ONLY STUDY…..
This exam fever doesn't only affect the students , but also the
teachers. Because during this period there is no chance of off lectures
or to even bunk a few. All their teaching is strictly exam oriented. Otherwise
teachers, rarely ask us about notes but only for exams we receive
lengthy notes and big big books and heavy loads from them.
Now please don't say that it is the mistake of we ,the students.
Students have to take notes from time to time, then get it checked
from teachers…… if they study well they won't have to face these
problems. But even if we work regularly , teachers give us question banks only
during exam periods and say that we got to answer our exams from a particular approach or framework or pattern if we want
high grades.
Friends, changing exam system is also somewhat responsible for
this. As an aftereffect of these changes, we have to face this.
Mainly this exam system doesn’t check our intelligence or abilities, it only checks
our parroting.
These exams are not only for classes but even for masses. Shouldn’t this
be considered??? So please everyone give it a fine thought and save us……..
