Rotaractor through and through

You might think that Rotaract is just a term or as a matter of fact an entity. Well, let me tell you, its what you want it to be for you. I did the same. At first I was told that it is a waste of time and that social service is a thankless job. Maybe those who said it were right but I wanted to see it for myself.
Honestly speaking, I was associated with the Rotaract Club of my college and I enjoyed it a lot. It taught me to organise stuff as well as lead something as small as the Paper Drive Project and make it a bloody success.
I made new friends and met so many new people along the way. You make yourself known to people even if they tell you that you need to go and collect a single newspaper. You ought to do it with a smile on your face.
There have been a fair share of doubters along the way but, my friends, honestly speaking-

Haters can go and suck it. If there is anything in my life that I am proud of up until now it is this that I have worked my ass off for that club and nobody can deny that.

Keep calm and save paper. Because Rotaractors know how much goes to waste.

A gorilla shot dead. Wait, what?

Given the funny world that we live in. Here's another funny yet absurd piece of news which popped up recently. A gorilla was shot dead because it apparently tried to "harm" a child who had fallen into it's hideout.
Now let's get a few things clear. How did the child manage to go there? Were the parents so dumb that they lost track of their kid? All I am saying is that how do we know that the gorilla was trying to harm the young kid?
I am not some animal rights activist speaking on behalf of everyone on my team but I am a human being. Just because those creatures can't speak doesn't mean that we shoot them straight out. Because of the carelessness of the parents and other people present there, we lost a gorilla. Tomorrow we may end up losing something else. Then what?
The world will never change. People won't change.
Why did the gorilla get shot?
Because fuck logic. That's why.

That time of the Year

The title suggests that it could be anything. Anything means anything. But I'll tell you what I'm talking about over here. It's something which is a key part of our society. Or, in this case, a key part of college life.
I'm talking about the elections. A thing which is totally student driven. With this you get to see many things. People working hard to ensure the future lies in their hands. People facing disappointments and similar kinds of things.
It is said that pressure moulds individuals. At least for the candidates it does. You can see it. As the clock ticks to D-Day, their heartbeat keeps ticking as well.
This is not a write up where I show my support for person A,B,C.
But just make sure, the person whom you  choose, should make you their option A rather than C.
May the most deserving person win.
Peace.

Opportunities

In life, do you go looking for opportunities or do they come knocking on your door? Choose the option. Or let the option choose you. The latter usually happens if you deserve it. Luck is not a factor according to me. Pessimists depend on the luck factor.
So it's totally up to you. Don't let the opportunity just pass you by. What if that is the thing that gets the ball rolling? You never know right?
So just wait for the right moment. Have patience.
On a personal level, I have gotten mine. It's what I do. It's what I'm doing now. It's what I'm addicted to. It is my drug.
Writing, my friend, is my drug. And the best part? It's free of cost.
Peace out.

Why Start Up

Why Start Up?

It is the time of innovations and new things. You either make your mark in this life or just live on with no ambition. After all, after we die, we would all be like to be remembered for some thing or the other right?

Taking over a family business or working for a company is fast fading away and no longer appeals to the youth. So the next thing is. What does?

Starting up.

It may be a vague term but let’s break it up.

You have an idea. A general idea of a business. Simple? Simple. You have an amount in your mind regarding the amount needed to start up. Clear? Clear. You have friends who believe in the idea and want to be a part of it. Wonderful. There you have it.

You have successfully started up.

We may also take into account about the fact as to why are the youth starting up especially in our country. The answer is simple. Engineering, doctor, MBA blah blah blah does not appeal anymore. It is a fact. Starting up gives them a platform to be themselves. Express themselves. Take the country to even greater heights.

But then again, it is certainly not easy. Not every start up is guaranteed to be a big success.

Belief, hard work and unlimited patience will get you your target. That is for sure.

By the way, a couple of lads have embarked upon a beautiful journey with a very innovative start up.

Why will they be successful?

Because.

They. Are. The. Real. Deal.

Put up or shut up

There have been ups. There have been downs. There has been turmoil. There has been disappointment. Then there is ultimate relief. Relief because of the fact that you can see friends around you who care. Who actually fucking care. That's all that matters at the end of the day. She said no. I didn't take no for an answer. I tried and tried. End result? Yes? No? No.
I guess the beginning of your 20th year in this world does throw up a few surprises. Well, for me it did. Experiencing it was pure joy. Words can't describe it. But then again. End result. No.
She came into my life.
Eventful? Check.
Awesome? Check.
Memories? Check.
No? Hurt.
Goodbye? Painful.
Move on? 100%.
Everyday I think to myself that tomorrow is going to be a better day. It's not at all a bad life. Its just a bad day. Accept that and move on. Nobody can feel as low about life as I have over the past few weeks.
In the end. I had two choices. I would either put up or shut up.
I made my choice. And I'm damn happy about it.
Peace.

Three Friends and FIFA

You know the best thing about life from a personal point of view? Football. Or rather, FIFA. Now, before people go clueless about what I'm saying, it's basically the football game. For decades now it has been a key part of peoples' childhood as well as adulthood. But how does this concern me? Trust me it does. A whole lot. I know in my previous blogs I've gone from having a feel good factor about life to being a guy hopelessly in search of love to ultimately learning to grow up and move on. However, through all these things, one thing has remained constant. My love for the game. Back in college many people spend time watching movies, reading books, roaming around with their plus ones et cetera. But what do we do? We as in two other friends of mine and me? We choose the easier and more competitive way out. FIFA. You'll have no clue how far we can go. Give us 24 hours and a couple of cups of coffee along the way, we can play it out. That's how obsessed we are and honestly speaking we are damn proud about it. Who cares if we have an exam next day? The game's a God which we worship everyday. Then there are the all night long football debates. And oh, just to make things clear.
I'm a Liverpool fan.
My roommate's a Chelsea fan.
Our common friend worships the white of Real Madrid.
What debates we have and what extent of roasting we can go to, I leave it up to your imagination.

Why do I write?

Writing is an art. A talent. Expressing yourself is a bigger one. I'm sure all of you have heard the old clichéd saying, 'Write to express not impress'. Try following it. If you start writing something, don't think about the end. Just go with the flow. Keep on adding whatever you want. Dont hold back. Society cannot put a stop on how much you can express.
Why do I write? Well, I like to speak my mind. How? Through writing. Or as it goes nowadays, blogging.
To be honest a few days back, I decided to quit. I had enough. I just thought to myself, ''I am just not good enough am I?"
But then a certain someone told me. Dont quit. Just keep going. In your mind just think that you're the best. Everything else will fall into place like a jigsaw in a puzzle. If you're tired of writing, just take a break. It helps. Well, for me it did.
Time as they say, did indeed turn out to be the best healer.

Forgiveness

Go back to the title and read it again. And again. And again. Keep reading it till it hits you in the head and reminds you as to how many times you've been forgiven.
Done? Wonderful. Now, recall how many times you've forgiven someone.
It may all seem like I'm bordering on the absurd but not forgiving someone, isn't that absurd? Okay you may not want to forgive a murderer but we aren't talking on those terms. Forgiveness is the key to building strong relationships, emotional attachments and more importantly, strong bonds. If you are stuck up in an argument with someone or even a fight. Forgive and forget. Move on. Because when we all die and lie in our graves,  life's already over isn't it? And it's already too late. But for me, on a personal note, all the matters is that,

She forgave me.
