New Journey

New journeys are interesting. Not only the ones you travel around the planet but also the ones that travel around you. Moving to a new school, a new house, a new bike, a new city. Any of those might be what you are thinking of and that always excites you. But, the more you cook it the hotter it gets. One disappointment and all that excitement fall apart. Then, how to experience the joy?

Just to make it clear, let's take an example. You and your friends plan for a trip. Everything's packed and ready to rock for the next couple of days. Started your trip with your friends on an overnight journey. Had a lot of fun on that ride chatting about the good old days. Morning, all of you checked in to a preplanned hotel. It is then you have come to know that the food isn't good. Your mind unknowingly takes you down the path of thoughts about eating the same food the whole trip. Fun, which you all were expecting fissile out. Though you people are visiting places, you keep discussing about the food. 

There are a million other ways things could go sideways when you are expected to be happy and that doesn't go well. You just have to accept it. It is that simple. You have to accept the fact that not everything goes your way. Your happiness always comes with a cost. Does that mean we are not meant to be happy and excited? No. We are meant to experience all those but also are to expect unplanned events.

Never sacrifice a smile or a laugh just because you think you might break down later. We humans are supposed to smile. That's healthy too. Just don't keep reminding yourself about the sad/unexpected parts.

WEEK-IN #3

Today's content is provided by one of my BTech friends, Prathibha. Have a look at today's blog from a girl's perspective. I thank Prathibha for supporting the project. Invisible Pressure Our generation of students seems to be having fun and enjoying life, but we too are under the constant pressure of planning our next step. This has been way too much to handle and is leading to frustration for the masses. If you are a girl and you get a job, you are put on a schedule. Plan for marriage, then kids, then their education, and back to the start of their marriage. If you are a boy and you get a job, that very moment you'll have to take up the whole responsibility of family and handle everything as fast as possible. These pressures are building up in our minds and bring out either Bad results or A lot of frustation. We do understand the reason for our parents creating this schedule of life, but we all need some time to adjust. We only need a couple of things. Responsibilities...

Spend Wisely

Spending money is hell lot complicated than what I thought of it in my childhood. Every time I pull out some money from my pocket, I think whether to spend them or not, and I think even more after spending them. Planning to spend those bucks was very hard for me. The following two people helped me a lot on where to spend and where to save. Rohit Neelakantham Rohit Neelakantham      I met him at Idealabs. I knew him for about 4 days. We both were travelling in his car. As you all know, I just keep talking all the time. I asked him about his job and stuff. Then, I started asking about his car (Ford Ecosport #dreamcar). He was like, "I used to teach tuitions in my college days. I saved all that money and paid downpayment for this car which was around ₹.2 lakh." I was like, "Holy shit! You saved 2 lakhs from the fee you got from tuitions." He replied, "Yes. It probably took years, but I did save. I always had a dream of buying a car with my own money, an...

THE Journey

Lets read a story You with two of your friends who stay at Bangalore planned for a trip to Coorg. You have been planning it for a really long time, but schedules weren't supporting. At last, you three found time for an awesome destination. Three of you started at 5'o clock in the morning. On your car, way to Coorg. Weather was a bit windy, but you three were excited. After travelling one third of the distance, it started drizzling. Halfway point, it is raining now. Three of you have no thought of returning. You will complete this trip at any cost. You reach the destination and it's raining heavily. Took a room in a hotel, slept for the night. As you woke up in the morning, it is a thunderstorm out there. Whole day, you three weren't even able to go out of the hotel. So, you stayed till evening with some hope to visit at least a fraction of Coorg. Nope! Not happening. Whole day, it rained like it hasn't rained in years.  Successive day, early in the morning, ...
