After all,Life s worth a smile!!!

After nearly a year I just thought I would blog in..

We have heard and seen so many stories of this kind,but this one struck deep in my heart and provocated me to share it.

From a personal front,I have always cribbed over so many things in life that I don have or things that should have been mine or benefitting me.But this one really made me ponder over all of them and come to terms with reality.

Here goes the story.A young boy and a girl working in a garments shop fall in love with each other.The shop owner is the typical bossy attitude person one would expect,who always tortures his folks with his cruel attitude and pain staking words.He goes to incredible heights,harassing young girls in the most brutal manner possible. The behaviour of the shop owner is so outrageous and terrible that its better felt when we view than hear. Girls suffering pathetically with excruciating pain.There are many other pairs of young boys and girls who are in love with each other,working in the same shop.The owner tortures,abuses them and deprives them of their job,once he gets to know the truth.This is a case of daily happening in the shop.Fearing this,many of them quit the job and tried to earn a living on their own.One such pair who quit,enjoyed their new found freedom working on road side shops and earning as much as possible.It was a tiresome job but they enjoyed doing it as they were not bound to the hazards they had to face in the shop.

At the fag end of the day,and having no homes to rest,they lied down in a construction sit on the sand piled up for work.Their mind bristled with hopes and thoughts for the forthcoming day.Once again came the twist in the tale that very night.One of the trucks which has been parked outside the construction site carrying cement and other material for work ,took off in the morning without noticing the young boy and girl sleeping.The vehicle ran through the girl's legs and she lost both of them.

When the girl was completely depressed,thinking its all over in her life,the boy asks"Shall we marry?".She was dumb founded! They married and lived happily thereafter.

Its a very common incident that many of us would have seen and heard,but there is something very nice about it.Life throws so many challenges,hardships upon people but still people manage to face crisis situations with a smile,come out bold and put up a brave face.That's attitude at its best!!!They learn to look at the lighter side of life,enjoy and cherish each and every moment and get on with it.

So,after all that life has given us ,its definitely worth a smile!!! and not jus a simple smile but

A proud smile over all the tough scenarios we met in the past for having over come them,

A joyful smile over all the happenings of the present that we are enjoying them,

A curious smile in anticipation of what the future has in store for us and we are ready to meet them!!!

Keep smiling:))

Hi friends,

August 10,2009.A dream come true for me.Guess what!!! Yeah,my Masters had begun.My spirits were sky high and I was exuberance personified .Right from my engineering ,masters was something that i had always wanted to pursue.So it was a magical day to start off. But in not less than 72 hours,my spirits crashed down and I was left pondering if I had really made the right choice.Yeah,the work pressure,mental pressure and others were just too much asking or rather I was not prepared for it ,as I had a really good time in engineering.. All of a sudden,I was into a new horizon,lot of responsibilities,left alone to figure out things the way,they ought to be done.There were countless days I spent in wilderness,thinking of what next and many probing questions cropping up for which I never had an answer.

But,the lighter side of it was I had found really good friends,some caring shoulders to lean upon and cry.My first acquaintance was with Rashmi and Sudha.Gem of characters,both of them.Ah!How can i forget jeevani veera?She enquired me very curiously for the first time.A very sweet person.I slowly got to know more and more people and started relishing their company.The fresher's party,the foundation day were all memorable days with extra ordinary fun!!! But to top it all was my Birthday.My friends made it a spectacular one ,which i dare to forgt.The party,the celebration,each and every moment is still afresh in memory.Thanks to all those loved ones:)) Ah,and many suprise calls tat day.Those wishes and my friends made tat day:)

As I,started writing this blog I showcased the atmosphere here at IIITB as a terrifying place to be in.But let me assure you,the campus,the environment,the professors..God ur in one of God's enchanting creations.The mental pressure and work pressure is something that i have started to get myself accustomed to it.And yes day,I remember speaking to one person,and the message simply struck.The thought that plunged upon me was "Accept the challenge.This is the system followed.Y crib over smething u cant change".Fabulous.Was an eye opener to me.

I write this exactly,after spending 90 days here at IIITB.To put it "I dunno if these 90 days were beautiful,terrifying or a combo..but the next 447 days is gonna be a magical journey for me here:)) If "I get myself mentally prepared and accept the challenges!!!"

The If clause is the pivot here:))
