Knowing the world!

It's 4 in the morning and I am "not-at-all" sleepy. It's actually quite normal since I'm comparatively free these days and I have time all to myself. As expected, it feels great to be at your leisure and while away time. It is just fantastic!

Btw, the purpose of this post was not to tell you all this. The purpose is to portray the real-emotional self of this so quoted "ambitious" blogger, who is trying to figure out what's with this world? Why does it seem so shallow at times? Where is the gap?

Sometimes I feel I should re-name this blog to "the poet/the writter-dikshabajaj.blogspot.com". Anyway, I guess I should leave apart all this and actually come to the point.

So, as you all see the title- "Knowing the world", what comes to your mind? Well, I don't know! How did you expect me to? There can be no telepathy here! Anyway, what comes to my(read with a drawl) mind is - a lot of stuff. I've been living in a hostel, out of my comfortable cocoon(my home sweet home) for a long time now(it's been an year) and have got a good amount of understanding(I'd like to believe) about the world around. So there are a lot of aspects I wish to share.

First one that comes to my mind is the fact that "Everyone is good at heart." Trust me and skip the paragraph or read on if you need the logic. So you are reading, fine! Let me go on then. Everyone is good - Even the person who calls you a bitch/even the person who wishes bad about you/even the one who's "termed as" terrorist. The person who bitched about you was just frustrated and wanted to let go off her anger and you were the target. "That is it!". She doesn't consider you a bitch, she doesn't hate you, she just hasn't spent time with you/discovered you are great at heart and hence you are the target of her anger. The person who wishes bad about you. She is just passing through a trough in the curve of her life and thus is being insecure. She's being jealous, let her be. DONOT revert back with a similar attitude. DONOT freak out. It doesn't mean she's bad. She is just being immature. She lacks understanding of life, you hold on to yours. The person "termed as" terrorist. You have no clue what circumstances he had. You have no clue what made him bad. This brings me to my second point: Stop judging!

"Stop judging" people when you don't know(understand) them. Stop judging people, when they act weird. Stop judging people, when they don't understand you. Stop judging people by little-little incidents. These incidents are not important, don't make them important. If are making them important then you lack the vision to make a judgement, So, stop blaming others for that.

"Everybody is a unique creation of God" and has(without a doubt) got some really unique talent. So, this brings out the next point. "Stop being jealous", rather find out yours. You fail at doing that? Alright don't freak out, it's human! But learn to conquer! Not others but your thoughts! That is more important.

"Learn to stay the way you are, stop being someone else" You're made unique, you have a choice stay unique/ be a commoner. What do you want? Now come on, nobody wants to be a commoner, I know. So learn!

"Love yourself" Why? The answer is really simple. If you can not love yourself, how can somebody else? Let the busy person in your life walk away(infact leave her) as you have so many who love you with all they have, so why not think of them rather than wasting time giving importance to the extras? Dance when you want! Live "your" own special self! Shout! Speak a lot! Those who don't like don't understand you and ones who understand(the closed ones) would never dislike. Speak wrong words, wrong English at times but don't care because you know where you were incorrect and let the other one have fun out of nothing. Be stupid! Be a kid! No matter what it takes, just be yourself.

Alright, enough of lessons for now. I told you right at the top, skip the paragraphs, just read the headings but you read the entire thing, right? I so knew! :P Never mind, with my articles it happens, It's really not your fault. :D I hope you got it, I'm about sign off, so take care, stay happy because you know what You are "THE BEST" (if you believe you are :P ) Adios! See you soon! :)

‎'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly.

So I asked, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!’

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.
Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so…… ‘Love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don’t.’

Colleges, Universities and Fuchchas- each year!

So the time is here again like many previous years, but the furor is not just back, it's packed with more ardor, more swank, more hype, unlike all the foregone times. The time that introduces them to a fresh, unfamiliar, unaccustomed and all new world, that marks the beginning of a highly crucial phase of their life. Yes, it's the time they step into their all new and much awaited phase of life! But the times that have become much more crucial for Delhi Times to publish a peppy article daily to capture 'their' interests. 'They'- whom 'Delhi Times' terms as fuchchas! An article daily to add to the hype of an already much-hyped issue. From wardrobe to bags, from brands to accessories, from seniors to faculty, from skirts and shorts to cargos pants for guys/girls, they give you all the 'erudiction'.

Introducing you to the much cool- Kat pants, popular at those times or making you aware of all new things in fashion they talk about well everything. They make you, all prepared for the college life and do much of your work leaving you with very little to ponder upon your wardrobe. The list of do's and dont's for the first day start getting published at least a month before the start of your college.

Spicing it with the Paul- the octopus' prediction/suggestions or making you plan your first day - when to talk/whom to talk to/what to wear/where to eat/what to say! Almost everything. Right?

As if, planning for you your first day at college is the endeavor of their life. They make you trendy, talk about cool tees and don't leave even the topics like what color nail paint is in or what color 'Converse' did Sharman Joshi wear in 3 Idiots to popularize it much with the teens. But dude aren't you being too monotonous with all this? Yes! It was another article today in TOI that made me write this post. I mean, cool, I too enjoy reading it once or twice but making it the only topic of talks about colleges and campus on the heading days of the new world for teens is undoubtedly lame. The word fuchcha that appears almost everyday is inundated with incessant ideas to make to them 'cool', which in my opinion ,would rather, only produce 'wannabes'!

I wonder if they even realize, it's the day that marks the beginning of your 'College life' where you enter, as a result, of may be, your hard work of day and night. So as to emphasize on the fact, giving them a reason enough to talk some sense here and there in the articles to make the person reading a bit passionate about the upcoming life, adding at least a little meaning to the spice. The motive of college is not to just to produce divas of their times but a bittttt more! (Drawling! Yes, a pun again!) So, introduce the teens to the trends, in fashion things or what seniors are all about but give them something that makes them passionate about life, defines an aim in their life rather than producing obsessions about wardrobes and brands! Groom their personalities but don't pre-occupy their minds with this. Lessen this hype and increase in the field where it is needed!

That's what I felt after reading such articles regularly now for more three years. What do you feel about it? Agree with me or find it lame? Share your opinion here. Signing off! Hope to see you soon! :)
