AN OPTIMISTIC'S DREAM FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

"Crores of loss due to floods in __________"
"Hundreds die in blasts at _________"

Such headlines are commonly seen in today's newspapers and news. A peaceful village or town is hard to find these days. Be it natural disasters or man-made destruction, there is always something happening in the life of every human being. We blame it on the leaders, do we ever give a thought to our lack of responsibility. Do we ever think of making peace with our hostile neighbors? What people need to do is to learn to build relationships and nurture them with care

It is because of the mistakes that we do today, the future of our children is in danger. We have to blame ourselves for the depletion of natural resources, extinction of several wild animals and birds and absence of internal happiness in our lives.

We come into this world empty-handed and when we leave we take away nothing. Then why do we fight with each other over land, water, money, borders and other things natural as well as man-made? Destroying things will not give us real salvation or happiness. Redefining our priorities and working towards achieving them in the need of the hour. Helping the underprivileged, the unemployed and the illiterate would give us immense satisfaction. So let us teach people to teach others importance of self-realization and prod the world towards the greater good!

HASTA LA VISTA

Maybe this is the last December i can be as a student. My life at schools and colleges is almost over. Starting from school, i had always been the talkative person and the most naughtiest in the class. Never was quite a good girl, but neither was the bad. I just went on my own

The day when i entered the college, I was mesmerized by the vastness. I was shocked by the way people commented on you (well this happened only after a few days) right in front of you. The days in the college bus, the days in the canteen, the days we bunked, the day we skipped college for a get-together, the days when we simply sat in the class wasting time, the days we shared our lunch boxes, the days when we slept off during lectures, the days when we fought for stupid reasons, the days when we talked and talked and only talked, the days when we walked in the class late, the days when we sat on the steps starting a new chapter at the 11th hour of the exam, the days when we waited for the RTC bus, the days we spent fighting for a seat in the bus, the days when we foot-boarded, the day when one of our classmate got married..........The list goes on. Its a never ending list. There is no end for such things, such priceless things.

I do agree that there have been the worst experiences in college. But they taught us about how life was. I have a clear perspective of what to expect and what not to. Most of them have also got to know.

Saying goodbye to all these things would be a tough thing. Saying goodbye to the memories would bring tears. So I would like to say HASTA LA VISTA to all those who have been here with me, supported me, liked me, encouraged me, criticized me...etc...i thank you all and at the same time I am waving you goodbye. Will miss you all buddies. Thank you for being a part of my life.
