How Convocations Can Help You Live a Better Life!

On 11 December, this year I witnessed the most awaiting event in the life of a scholar. The event gives you the feeling that you have passed your graduation successfully. This event has a bigger importance, believe me, you should not miss this event by any means, and if you are out of the city-, you should come, if you are doing a job- you should come! I mean you should visit your college by any means – I am talking about, convocation.

You can say this is the most awaited event after completing your graduation. You visit your college once again (perhaps for the last time), you meet all the familiar faces who made your life miserable for the last 3-4 years, ha-ha! You meet your teachers and share your life after the college; you talk about various vicissitudes, which you are experiencing after college.  You talk about your memories, which you have shared with your friends. You get a chance to see your college architecture once again, and you feel nostalgic by seeing every corner of it.

I got a chance similar like every other scholar. I met my closest friends, my faculties, old crush and many other familiar faces. It was a great feeling to meet them once again, felt overwhelmed and relived the four years of my graduation. I missed every one of them, and you know this 11 December passed quickly, that I cannot describe. All the handsome boys and pretty chicks were looking extremely adorable.

I wish I could relive my college life once again, but you know it is not possible. We cannot go back to the college, sit in the canteen, stare elegant people and do whatever we wish. No, it is not possible. When we are living something or going through a phase, we always hate it, but when we finish that phase - we miss those memories too much. I miss my college too much, I love my college, and I miss those memories.

I can agree on the popular phrase, ″No knowledge without college”, it is true about the college life!

TEACHER'S DAY

Today India is celebrating Teacher’s Day, it’s 5^th September. But why do we celebrate this day, I mean is it necessary or is it a liability? No, it’s a day when we honour our teachers who have sacrificed a lot in their life and provided us a foundation of knowledge, on which we make a building of future. It’s a day when we say “Thanks” to our teachers/gurus/guardians who have given us a ocean of knowledge.

Also on this day our first Vice-President and second president Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was born, he was a brilliant teacher, mathematician and a noble person. He dedicated his entire life for the welfare of students and he devoted his life to improve the level of education of students.

His father did not want him to learn English or go to school. Instead he wanted him to become a priest. Later his father agreed to send him to a school in Tiruttani itself. He was a brilliant student and went through most of his education on scholarships. He was so popular among his students that when he was leaving to join as a professor in Calcutta he was taken all the way from the Mysore University to the Railway Station in a flower decked carriage pulled by his students!

He was a great person and our teachers too. The first teacher of any child is his/her mother, who sacrificed her life and her comforts just to care her child. A child learns so much from his/her mother, including speaking, walking, cultural values, sacraments etc. So it’s a day to honour our mothers too.

I seriously respected my teachers all my life. Yeah! There may be some exceptions but those exceptions are really rare. I have encountered many good teachers, some teachers nourishment me, some teachers punished me and some made an irremovable image in my mind. Every teacher gave me something which I will hold throughout my life, their dedication, knowledge and affection will always remind me of their presence.

Now today one another incident occurred, which was incredible and which never occurred before. Prime minister of our country, Mr. Narendra Modi addressed or interacted with students throughout the nation. It was one of the kind initiatives which no previous prime minister has done. Students from Leh, Imphal, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh etc. asked questions to our prime minister. Near about 1000 people were present in the Manekshaw Auditorium. As per their views they were feeling like a friend was interacting with them. And as per a viewer it was very interesting thing to know for me that he was very extrovert and frank with all those children. He gave many advices to those students and remembered Dr. Radhakrishnan too. Well I can only say at the end those children should follow Modi ji’s advice and they should respect their elders and teacher to grow as a strong and responsible citizen. Well now I have to end my article here, hope you have enjoyed it reading!

The Golden Phase - College Life

College life is really the best phase of anyone’s life. It is the phase when an individual learns so many things about life, those things which will help him throughout his life. In this phase a person learns and experiences almost each and everything which going to help him forever. It’s a phase where an individual experiences a sudden change from adolescence to adulthood. This phase is termed as “Make or Break” phase, because whatever direction we want to give to  our life we can give, if we want to be a somebody we can, if we want to be a nobody we can. A person can do hard work in this age and can spend rest of his life in pleasure or he can have rest in this period and can spend rest of his life in worries and tensions.

All experiences are necessary in this phase, friends are important; special someone is important, money and career are important. But focus on one thing is not good, I mean a person should know about every aspect in this phase and should try everything whatever comes in his way but he shouldn’t be indulged in only one thing that may cause him/her any damage.

I have learned many things during my college period and today I can proudly say that it was best phase of my life and I have enjoyed it to fullest. Sometimes I ask myself is there anything that I haven’t do? My mind says you have done every possible thing in your limited time. I have made some of the best friends – who told me the meaning of friendship, I have bunked many classes, and today I remember them as the “Happy Breaks” or “Stress Buster” , they were important because my course was really tough and gritty.

If a student doesn’t think about his future in this time, I believe that person is wasting his life; it’s a phase where every person should focus on one idea and stick to it. Many people plan something when they start college but at the end their plans is totally changed. Believe me! It’s true – I am not lying or faking. It happens with most of the people, I should say with the majority. But I believe everyone becomes habitual with this change in their life.

“No Knowledge, Without College”, when I was in school all my teachers used this proverb to describe a college life. When I was in college I find it as a headache, to go to class and to attend lectures, I don’t believe in bookish knowledge and I always stick to my point of view. Last week, I went back to my college, same building, same faculty, same busyness but strange faces. I was missing my classmates-batch mates so much, every corner of that campus was reminding me of my “GOLDEN PERIOD’’ , my friends, my memories. Really it was like a home coming, I wish I could stay there forever but it’s not possible. These memories will live in heart and soul forever.

Today I miss my four golden years, I have lived them to the fullest and I wish I could live them again.
