Student Life

Yesterday, while checking my mails, this caught my attention and it really stood out from the rest and I was then wrapped in thoughts. It's better to bunk a class than to miss a party with friends, because today when I look back, equations never made me laugh, but memories do.

What we gonna get on the last pages of a Student's Notebook?

Games like Tic Tac Toe, Love Percentage/Meter, Paper Chat, Torn pages – other part of which were passed to chat with friends sitting bit far, Exam tips, Funny Pictures, Vacation/Trip Plans, Signatures. You can add more to share your fun here :)

Student Life is the most enjoyable and memorable life. We make FRIENDS, fun, fights then patch ups, exams fevers, anxiety of results, parody for teachers, gossip about affairs, fights for friends, movie masti, all those haha-hehe of carefree laughs and the list is never ending.

It is the best part of our life, thanks to all my friends who made it so special for me also, this is for you all my buddies. I would also like to dedicate the song by Vitamin C, it is called Friends Forever, the lyrics are simply too sweet. Here is one para from it:

As we go on, we remember,

All the times we had together,

And as our lives change, come whatever,

We will still be, friends forever.

Do you have the right to commit Social Suicide?

Fast until death is what I am talking about. We have witnessed this idiom in many instances in recent past, for eg. Mr. Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev have been on the top of trends. Both of them were on same agenda without any personal gain or personal political aspirations.

In a fast growing and fast developing economy, the common man generally supports any such plan that help them get rid of corruption and have graft free society. Such movement wakes up the country's consciousness.

In order to die one has to live first. What I mean to say here is that if one has done something good for the society in big or small way. Obama the Nobel Peace Prize winner has now sent arms to Libya, now being termed as more brutal than Bush. Anna has lots of awards and honour in his bag starting from his native village Ralegan Siddhi. But in case of Baba we have not witnessed such instances other than yoga and herbal medicines. Anna's movement brought convulsion in the country while Baba's movement made more harm than good to the cause. Due to his dramatic escape and follies, the credibility of other civil society members has been deeply deteriorated. The same govt which were submissive with Anna has become belligerent suddenly and is on assault mode now.

The irony is that India has to go a long way as corruption is engrained in its blood. No one is willing to say first that “I am not paying for my right” to get their job done and rather asking them (the corrupt) to stop taking this pay.

Food for Thoughts

"There is no love sincerer than the love of food" - George Bernard Shaw.

Food for your mind stimulates your mental knowledge, food for biological system rouse your strength and growth, but those special delights rejuvenate you. You will feel pleasure and would gratify to some extent.

We have busy lives, but I believe that everyone deserves to enjoy a grand serve at the end of the day. Do not let your rapid life prevent you from giving you the very best. I used to help my mom in cooking, soon I realised that I actually enjoy to cook. I have learnt few basics but ain't a master in it. Either you cook for someone special or someone special cooks for you, but the aim is, the menu must be special whether it is your favorite meals or something unique.

Let us pour some ideas here with your favorites and/or unique ones. Just IMAGINE.

"E-Social"

We all talk about using more of e-communication and less papers. This has induced the developers to bring in the concept of social networking, in which they saw a great potential. Thanks to the age of Social Internet which bring people from every kind of social groups together, allowing them to interact in one common place.

 

Everything has its own positive and negative aspects. If anyone uses this communication technology in a meaningful manner, one will have better experiences, would make you smarter with the plethora of knowledge available on a click or can exchange it one-another, build new relationships and supplements in improving overall quality of life. Sites like Facebook and Myspace helps you build a social group of people sharing common interest and passions. A student can reachout to his/her seniors or graduates from best known universities for help on his/her research papers and ask for mentorship. People are exchanging their witty remarks with celebrities across the globe. Site like Linkdin create more professional connections and help businesses to promote themselves.

Ill side effects as per people say are that it draws them away from real relationships, shortened attention and diminishing personal communication and love. There is so much focus on social space where we are seldom present but always available :-) . However according to me real cause of concerns are identity theft, phishing, spywares and viruses, in all your safety.

Likewise in ancient Egypt they were worried about using papyrus for written communication that it would reduce mental ability, in spite of everything mankind has achieved so much in terms of intellectual gains and technology too. All depends on how fairly we use the available resources.

Just IMAGINE your situation and say what you all think.
