Paucity of life Vs Audacity of hope


I was busy on Facebook the last evening when my eyes suddenly got sight of a post by one of my friends – Anant Utkarsh. He posted some pictures under a heading – ‘Paucity of life Vs Audacity of hope’. Well, I was really very upset seeing those pictures as I had a feeling inside me that why should we be sad of something or why should we be depressed for something. We hear many people attempting suicide the other day due to some reasons which in context of them are very heavy but if compared to these are very little or in fact of no point. It was not like I haven’t seen those pictures before. I had a presentation of those pictures which held a thought that we should not waste our food, clothes, shelter which is gifted to us but we do not acknowledge. After seeing those pictures I felt like I am very lucky to have all sorts of happiness with me. I have been provided a nice shelter, good food and no lack of anything and moreover I have parents who are constantly taking care of me, my health and my needs and providing them to their best. I had a very sincere thought that we should see the plight of these people and not only try to help them but also try to induce in ourselves that whatever we have should be respected and we should feel grateful to the god for providing us with all necessary items. So please guys forgive for a very serious thing in my post and start thanking god for wverything we have and whenever you feel low think of someone who is deprived of the thing you have got and get satisfied because a well wisher once said to me…”At some point of time you have to be satisfied with whatever you get…”

1st day of Internship


I woke up early (early according to my schedule at 7 am) and got ready for my internship’s 1st day at ArcelorMittal Dhamm Processing Pvt. Ltd.(AMDP). Today we had the company bus starting from the Guest House itself. So, we got into it and after reaching here we found that the company had its own canteen and everyone was heading for the breakfast. As we had already taken our breakfast at the Guest House, we ignored that (thanks to Velu, our cook at Guest House). After our entry to the company, we were briefed about the safety instructions by the Head HR, AMDP and then we started our very tiresome task of waiting for Mr. Devjeet Chowdhary, Production Head, AMDP. Well we waited till lunch, then had our lunch and then again back on to our already going-on task of waiting till 3.30 pm. Finally this person got some time from his busy schedule of meetings and showed us or rather gave us the permission to enter into the shop-floor where actually the company work was going on. Now we were excited for this and were waiting for this moment from morning 9. Then we were told that we would be getting our project title or theme in a few days. After this we sat with the HR for around 1 hour and had a very fine discussion…hmm…fine, no we can’t say it a fine discussion but one that ranged from production to recruitment, expansion to subsidiaries, bla, bla and bla which finally ended up at our accommodation at the Guest House. Now we were even promised a separate cabin with internet connection from the next to next day. So, a very good point to celebrate…By now was the time for leaving. It was around 5.30 and the company bus was to leave at 5.45. So we quickly rushed to the bus stop and caught it on time. Thus we were back to our Guest House and so my first day at internship ended.

Festivity and the Fading Charm

My last post readers would have definitely understood my interest for Durga Puja . I had been waiting for this season since 1 year....
