Life is what you make it

It was almost a month; my mental state was not peaceful. Reasons were many. My office stress, my continuous failures and some other personal family issues as well. A point came where it simply became unbearable. I became extremely sad and simply started hating my life. I could not work properly, could not study properly, could not eat properly and could not sleep properly. I had no one to share and everyone to curse. It was then; I decided that that I simply needed a break. But, I could not escape from my problems... they wanted a solution. I could not find any. One thing, I could help was my office. I resigned.

           Things even worsened after I resigned.I became all the more sad, more lonely. Mum-Dad could easily sense what I was going through. They advised to forget all my tensions just for a week and simply enjoy. For the next three days, I did nothing. I started feeling sick. I could control everything but not my thoughts… filled with depressed negative thoughts. I just wanted to get rid of all of it and stay happy. But, I was helpless and simply felt miserable.

          I thought, I should not remain free and keep myself engaged. It might help. It helped. I started cleaning my room… the floor, the carpet, my cupboard and all its fixtures. In the process, I found something… Something life-changing.

I found a book, gifted to me by one of my friends, a year ago. It said- "LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT" by Preeti Sheenoy. What next…??? Of course I thought of reading it. Must say… Simply stupendous marvelous expressive writing. An eye opener, a life-changer. A book which made me believe that determination can even overcome destiny.    Being an avid reader though, I have never read anything so heart touching before. As I started reading the book, I could simply not leave it till it ended. Many times I felt like it was me expressing my feelings. I know how badly failure hurts. The manner in which it is written feels like one is not reading but watching a movie. I could easily imagine whatever was written. A book with a superb vocab, awesome storyline, deeply heart touching and incredibly inspiring. I now believe life is much more than the degrees we hold and is a precious gift of god which needs to be cherished with pure love and happiness.   I would recommend all those aiming for JEE, CAT, UPSC, CA, CS, CWA and other competitive exams to read the awesome work. An investment for a lifetime. Hats off to the author!!  

Aaj mat roko muje, aaj mera udane ka mann hai

आज मत रोको मुझे,
आज मेरा उड़ने का मन है

माँ के प्यार का मन है,
पिता के दुलार का मन है

ज़िन्दगी के तीखे अनुभव भूल,
बस एक प्यार भरी लोरी का मन है||

आज मत रोको मुझे,
आज मेरा उड़ने का मन है

भाई की डांट का मन है,
भाभी संग शरारतो का मन है

अपनी असफलताए भूल,
बस एक जश्न का मन है||


आज मत रोको मुझे,
आज मेरा उड़ने का मन है

बॉस से तकरार का मन है,
दोस्तो का संग ठिलवाई का मन है

सारी टेंशन भूल,
बस मौज मस्ती का मन है||

आज मत रोको मुझे,
आज मेरा उड़ने का मन है

कुछ अपनी कहने का मन है,
कुछ उनकी सुनने का मन है

पूरी दुनिया को भूल,
बस एक दुसरे में डूबने का मन है||


आज मत रोको मुझे,
आज मेरा उड़ने का मन है

बारिश में भीगने का मन है ,
गरमा गरम पकोड़ो का मन है

सारे गम भूल,
बस एक मीठी चाय का मन है||

आज मत रोको मुझे,
आज मेरा उड़ने का मन है

ज़िन्दगी में कुछ अधुरा सा लगता है,
आज उसे जीने का मन है

आज मत रोको मुझे,
आज मेरा उड़ने का मन है

आसमान बड़ा पास लगता है
आज उसे छूने का मन है
आज उसे छूने का मन है||

Bringing back the spark in you

Dear friends,
Finally, results are declared. Heartiest congratulations to those who did it and got the super awesome prefix to their name and for those who did not this write up are for you.

First of all, stop cursing yourself. You have not done a crime. If result is as low as 10%, the rest 90% have to fail. I know it’s easy to say, hard to accept. I know how badly failure hurts.

Please don’t cut off yourself from the society and your friends. If they have cleared, you will also, just a matter of 6 months. Please don’t feel inferior from those who have cleared, because you are not. If you have the capacity to reach CA Finals, you have the capacity to clear it too. Just believe in yourself. Don’t let the spark die.
I read it somewhere (most probably on chetan bhagat's fb page) - Their are times when you fail, and nobody believes on your potential. You have to.

It’s easy to say- yaar, load mat le ho jayega or may me ni hua toh kya november hee sahi or CA me toh sab hee fail hote hai. This is not a point of time, where you need sympathy. You need hard work and smart work.

For a moment, just close your eyes and feel how you would have felt, if you had passed. Obviously, happy. Infact, very happy. Cherish the feelings of your past success and then start again.

If you have reached CA Final, you definitely know how to study, how to plan. Bring the spark back. Bring it anyhow. You have to do it. And if you are thinking to quit, think why you started. Please please please don’t think of quitting. You might be just a step away.

Read inspirational books, blog’s, see inspirational movies and then start.

Read other CA students story who did it. I am sure, you haven’t read this story. Have a look. http://thesecret.tv/stories/stories-read.html?id=18197

Ask your heart, and you will know why you failed. Hell with people who think you are a failure, tell them to see themselves.

Guys, be a sport yaar. Ho gaye na ab fail, accept it and start again.

हार नहीं मानूंगा, रार नई ठानूंगा . काल के कपाल पर लिखता मिटाता हूँ. गीत नया गाता हूँ"

A small poem from my blog
 

                             एक दिन ऐसा भी आएगा

                               ख़ुशी का समां छाएगा

                                               

                              दुःख के काले घेरे ना होंगे

                               सुख को हम संजोते होंगे 

                                     

                         सी . ए  फाइनल का रिजल्ट  होगा

                               और मेहनत का  जश्न होगा                                                               तमाशबीनो मे वाह - वाह  होगी हमारी                                             तमाशबीनो मे वाह - वाह  होगी हमारी

                             

                              क्योकि जीत हमने पाई होगी

                                    जीत हमने पाई होगी

                                   सिर्फ हमने पाई होगी .....
