HOW TO MAKE THE ‘BEST’ TEACHERS DAY?
To make this day special, students all across the nation make numerous plans and what not? They even execute it to the level of complacency of their teacher as well. Chalo ek cheez me to Teachers satisfied huye :D
Anyway, let me come to the objective of
writing this post which is, ‘How to make the BEST Teachers Day in your life?’
Now, to do so, one has to meet the following conditions:
1.
You got to have the experience of being ditched by someone you loved. Or
even the sheer knowledge will also do.
2.
The MOST IMPORTANT point is that you should be able to read this post. :P
Now, all you got to do is to call your EX (for GOD’s
sake, it isn’t Electrical and Electronics) and wish
that they pick up. If you are lucky enough, they will. So, once they pick up,
skip the hi, hello or being emotional part and cut to the chase by wishing them
a happy Teachers Day.They will be startled and of course demand a reason for your notion. So,
without wasting much of the time, tell them the below written thing:
‘A Teacher is that person who teaches you something in life. You taught
me that one SANE individual SHOULD NOT fall in love with a person like you. You
taught me a lesson for life and thus you are a teacher and hang-up.’
Now, you can laugh as much as you want. Plus, congrats, you have
attained inner-peace :D

A Distinct Love Story- Part 2
Sahil didn’t want her
to go but the die was going to be cast. It was doomed to happen. But, as a
silver lining, he had his last chance of meeting her at the airport the day
after tomorrow. He wouldn’t want to lose it at any cost.
The day comes and he
gets ready for, may be, the last meet. Preoccupied with a lot of thoughts and
of course a token of memory-cum gift, he starts his vehicle and drives off for
the airport which was a 1hour drive from his home. He was nostalgic as to what
would happen next. What he will do when she leaves? Why he isn’t her boyfriend?
Will she miss him? How will he react watching her boyfriend at the airport? And
many such questions cross his mind.
Neither the traffic
nor his inner-peace was at ease. The time was ticking and his anxiety as well. Still
there was about 10kms to cover with 15mins in hand. Eventually, when the road
seemed to help a little, he rushed his car. Some motivation started to kick-in
but then suddenly, a huge crowd catches his attention, at the roadside. He
stops his vehicle to check out the matter. A sheer burst of emotions takes over
him when he sees an old man lying there, counting the last few mins of his life.
And shockingly, nobody was helping. At that moment of truth, he gets caught in
the dilemma whether meeting his dream-girl or saving this old man’s life was a
priority. Both of the things mattered to him, as apart from a concerned lover,
he was also a social worker.
He then, takes a deep
breath and a drop of tear rolls down his cheek while he lifts the old man to
place him in his car. The tear explains it all. He chose to help a life revive
back rather than relishing the last few mins of meeting with his crush. The
very thought of shutting down every plan of meeting your crush, possibly for
the last time, was exceptionally damaging. Still, he had to keep calm and do
the indispensable job.
On his way to the hospital,
his eyes never even came closer to being dry. He was deeply hurt and that showed
well on his face. For 1 last time he lifted his cell phone to dial her number.
Sadly, her number was switched off and so were his last-hopes of hearing her voice
and telling her that he loves her. In plain frustration, he turns off his cell
phone.
On the other side,
Nikita had a tough time as well. Neither her boyfriend nor Sahil showed up at
the airport. She missed Sahil more than her brat-boyfriend. The reason was
simple, since the 2 of them have met, it has been Sahil who had taken care of
her, listened to her immensely boring stories about her boyfriend and what not?
He deserved at least this much of remembrance and he was getting it, with the snag
that he wasn’t aware about it.
Lastly, she took her
dad’s cell to call Sahil to check his status for the last time. She hangs up
with a plain sad face hearing that his cell is switched off. It appeared as if
the entire universe conspired in not to make the 2 of them have that last
conversation.
Furthermore, the old
man gets the treatment at the right time and the entire credit went to Sahil
for his brave decision.
This story is a romantic tragedy, but it certainly
presents some sound conclusions, which are as follows:
-
One shouldn’t go blind in love. Theek he bhai, pyaar mohabbat he but the
reality should always be kept in mind along with the corresponding consequences
before making even the slightest move.
-
Are you in love with someone? Then go tell them about
it. Utilize the next opportunity that you get, as, life is truly unpredictable
and you might not get another chance to say those 3 words to your beloved one.
-
Many love stories don’t have a happy ending.
Supposedly, the reason is that, the 2 people weren’t meant for each other. But one
shouldn’t be sad about it. Instead, be cheerful because there is somebody, that
1 person, who is just for you because you are special. Believe it.

Why Do We Celebrate Independence Day?
It was the 67th
Independence Day of India and I was at K.A.S.H.T.I (A group of youths working towards
the betterment of society through education), celebrating with the kids.
Factually, there was no class that day, so the kids were playing, laughing and
what not? In short, they were extremely cheerful. But, the bliss increased many folds when they
came to know that we gonna dispense sweets, specifically, boondi to them.
However, we (other
volunteers of K.A.S.H.T.I) decided to render a little information about the
importance of that day to them. So, consequently, we gave them a very lucid
idea about why we celebrate Independence Day. Through their expressions,
one could have easily guessed that they understood everything from tip-to-toe.
We were delighted. Perhaps, they were too.
Now, came the time,
when the sweets were to be distributed, so we made them sit on a platform and
started distributing sequentially from left to right.
The kids were overjoyed
who got the perk and the others were patient enough to receive their part.

When I reached to
this little kid, just to check whether she still remember what we told them
about the Independence Day, I asked her:
‘Mujhe aap batao ki
hum Independence Day kyun manate he? (Tell me, why do we celebrate Independence
Day?) and also added, ‘Aap agar sahi answer doge, to me aapko 2 boondi ke
packet dunga’ (If you will give the correct answer, then I will give you 2
packets of Boondi) and smiled in anticipation of a correct answer.
She got a little
jittery. I kept waiting with a curve fixed on my face. Finally, after a few
secs, she looked into my eyes and with the sweetest-endearing smile that any
kid can ever show; she replied, ‘Boondi ke liye’ (For sweets).
I grinned and handed
her 2 packets of sweets which were certainly not as sweet as her answer
combined with the mesmerizing smile. After that, she stood on her legs, came a
little closer to me and hugged.
I lifted her up with
a feeling-loved-expression and gave her another packet of Boondi.
Truly, it was the 15th
AWWWGUST and undoubtedly, we celebrate this day for having free sweets :D

A Distinct Love Story- Part 1
There was this guy
named Sahil; an ambivert, not-so-handsome, dreamer and possessing a
relationship-single status. His life was like a roller-coaster with numerous
ups and downs. Moreover, adding to his fact-profile, he was way more mature
than the person much above his age group.
His life was nothing
but a loop of waking-up, surviving, Facebook, sleeping and waking up again. He
has gone through a variety of relationships, had met a lot of amazing people
and ignored the ones who wanted him to change according to their choice.
One fine day in his
loop cycle, he meets a girl while surviving the day. Her name was Nikita, she
was a year junior, a little shorter than him, fair, extremely pretty; In short,
a nymph. Their eyes meet, it was obvious, as she
had some work with him. But, out
of this sheer obviousness, Sahil was completely taken by her aura, precisely, the
ultra-charming fairy!
Later that night, he
searches the girl on Facebook, finds her successfully and presses the ‘send friends
request’ tab. Expectations rise to the sky when after 2 days long wait she accepts
his request.
‘Phew, finally the
Facebook-friends’, he sighs, contemplating about a lot of impossible future events.
Unlike every other
boy-girl love stories, this was a little different. They actually neither could
talk much in real life nor in the social world. The girl hardly showed-up in
either of the 2 places. So, sadly, the beginning of the conversation and
becoming friends took a little more time than usual. But, patience paid off,
they were friends. Sahil was delighted.
One day he gets to
know that the girl is in a relationship but this doesn’t change anything in
him. He was still that sweet, that head-eating creature. All he ever wanted was
to be her friend, maybe he wished for a little more, but clearly, he wasn’t
obsessed with that dream.
The story went ahead
and good. He gradually got a little addicted to her and adding to his happiness,
she enjoyed his company as well. But, it was him, who had to make efforts for everything.
She had more that queen-Elizabeth-type attitude (no offense), as she already had
someone to care, apart from Sahil. Many a times, she had left the chat without
any prior information and he ended up waiting for hours, in vain. Although, she
used to apologize the next time she comes online after a week or so, but the damage
was done, a mere sorry couldn’t mend it. Nothing possibly could. But, in spite
of all this, Sahil was happy, though a
little disappointed but happy.
Everything seemed to
be fine when 1 bad day she conveys the message to him that she is going abroad
for higher studies and that she might not remain in touch as often as she used
to be. May be not at all.
For Sahil, it was way
too more than a nightmare. He would be left alone, shattered, not having a talk
with her was definitely going to affect him severely. His condition was undoubtedly
going to be more like a drug addict who goes to rehab when he doesn’t want to.
So, what will happen next? Will he devastate himself in her memories? Or will he confess his love to her? Find out in the next part which will come out VERY soon :)
Plus, for the people who are waiting for CHAPTER 5: Math-Rina- The Hurricane, the sequel to CHAPTER 4: PHYSICS, please keep a little more patience :)

TODAY’S ENGINEER
Gone are the days
when people used to do things because they actually had a crave for it. Now, it’s
all a ‘sheep walk’. Join the crowd and
there will be people to answer on your behalf. Great! Isn’t? Everybody is up to
something which they aren’t sure of having an interest in.
Precisely, I will
focus on Engineering in this article-cum-eye-opener. The picture below shows an up-to-date number
of Engineering colleges, state wise.
5672! Mother of
colleges! Seriously! However, the question is NOT that the colleges are increasing
at an alarming rate BUT are all these colleges providing QUALITY education? Are they genuinely making REAL Engineers? Or
are the college-owners ONLY up to making money? And many such questions are queued-up.
The following comic-strips will totally describe the credibility
of an Engineer in today’s life. And, perhaps, they will answer a lot of the
above questions, may be, all the questions.
Although, the comic
strips set a curve on our faces, but isn’t it dismal to know the situation we
are dealing with? Of course, it is. I just wish, people realize what they are
good at and form their career on it rather than being a carbon-copy.
