ummm.... just thoughts


Just few days left before the exam. We are as usual busy with our submissions. I take a few moments away from this busy daily routine and hum my favourite songs favourite para “waqt ki qaid mien zindagi hai magar, waqt ki qaid mien zindagi hai magar, chand ghadiya yehi hai jo aazad hai, chand ghadiya yehi hai jo aazad hai inko kho kar meri jaaneja umra bhar na taraste raho”

Then I think about my course which has changed my life I wont say has changed my life but atleast it has changed my perspectives towards different things. I think about the 3 beautiful years spent in my degree college with my best buddy Arti and my class mates it was THE perfect college life I could ever ask for and had dreamt of. Ohhh and its so very difficult to leave my buddies, because somehow I have seen people best buddies not being in touch after colleges are over. People getting busy with their jobs or further studies, well I guess it’s a matter of choice if one wants can take out time from their busy schedule.

For all of the three years we had Dr. Kurush Dalal as a teacher for some or the other Subject in our 6 semesters. He is an Archaeologist and a Caterer too, yes I know odd combination, hmm guess what he is a PARSI…..

He always gives these amaizing fundes which we adore, we love to listen to him and yes this man has thought of things before he says it….. Once he was talking to us about Power

It went something like this, which I wont ever forget…

He said “Yes when u are young you wanna do everything change the world and all, that’s very good every one thinks like that, but things over here work as it always have. In India when u reach a position struggling for the right place for you in the system and when u have got the power to change the whole world your get up and going has got up and gone.”

Even I feel that I wanna change the whole world, bring world peace but perhaps it’s not possible. Politics, Economics and Culture go hand in hand. I have heard people say one man can change the world; say Gandhiji changed the thinking of so many people, so many nations but not the whole world. I don’t think that one man can make a such a difference that they can change the whole world. It’s not only impossible in India but whole of the world. Well my Professor above meant for changing the political system in India well aah difficult to digest but things do really work that way only a revolution can do something. I don’t say corruption is everywhere but its just there, and its there in the many of the institutions as said before Politics, Economics and Culture go hand in hand. With the growing population of India we need education reaching to the every nook and corner of the country. Ummm I don’t know why m I writing all this perhaps thoughts connected one after another. It might be irritating so ill stop here. My friends complain that when they read my blogs that they have a feeling of something which has remained incomplete. May be even this one because they are my flowing thoughts and I don’t reach a conclusion…. Man!!! im confused, GOD unplug me from this matrix. Period ;p

Has one man ever changed the world: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d8/Tianasquare.jpg

on paper he/she might not have changed the world, but as Einstein said, not all things that count are countable...

Hi Tanu,
U definitely think hard to reach some conclusions. Keep thinking...its a good and enriching process...well I think that one man cannot make a major difference to the whole world but he certainly can make some efforts to bring some happiness into people's lives who have been deprived of that happiness for ages. Atleast i ll make that attempt. if i ponder that i cannot make a difference to the world that doesnt mean i will stop putting efforts....
Anyways, u bring in nice and provocative thoughts...i must say..
