OK. So all my friends have found good jobs more or less. They will work in their respective organisations for a few years and then switch to some other place at a higher package. And after a brief stint there another salary hike and another new company. The cycle will go on and on.
Of course there are exceptions. Like,taking a Management course or becoming a high profile hot shot government officer.
All these options are good and very well paying. They will certainly provide job satisfaction, lots of money, fame, respect and what else.
However, after a while, lets say 10 years, I assume, there is definitely gonna be a question, from within. Am I truly satisfied with ma work? Am I utilising my full potential? What have I given back to the society? And the last, where am I heading to?
I suggest 2 posible obvious answers to these.
1st one. Become an ENTERPRENEUR. Start your own organisation. Become a job-giver. This way you are gonna get lots of blessings too. Dont be profit driven in your organisation. Emphasise more on betterment of community and nation. Start working on ideas today onwards itself.
2nd one. Start working on comunity development. Join some genuine NGO and do some real work for poverty upliftment etc.
This will be the real job satisfaction, I guess.

Today was special. April 17th, 2010 taught me the true essence of friendship.
After taking the HMT test, I, kind of retired for the day. However, fate had other ideas. Phone rang and one of my best buddies Prabhakar was on the line. He had been particularly angry on me for a couple of months and we hadnt talked much these days, so it was a nice surprise to recieve his call. However, the surprise turned to horror once i came to know that he wished to meet me at mughalsarai station at 3 in the afternoon!!!
I obviously rejeceted the idea. It was absolutely impossible to travel 40 km in this LOO and 45 degree temperature. Plus I had only 1 hour to reach there. From past experience i know that 1.5 hours are required (at least) to reach mgs station. Nonetheless, his endless gaalis n emotional blackmailing prevailed and I had to go. So, I alongwith my friend began our crusade to Mgs. We took the peepa bridge route n at one time reached a top speed of 70. Amazing. I had never touched 70 in my life before. See, what friends can do to you. By GOD's grace, I managed to reach mgs just before the train was to leave. However, my copassenger couldnt meet him as i had strictly instructed her to enter the station only after buying the plateform tickets. (Its Mgs afterall, the worst stn, with the worst TTs, in India). So, after running at 20 kmph I finally reached at pltfrm no. 4, and here he was, my gr8 :p friend, returning to mumbai. So glad we were, exchanged some good amount of gaalis, he noticed that she ws not there. I informed that
she had been assigned to buy pt. tickets. The meeting lasted only 5 minutes and his train started. She was not there yet. So, I bid him goodbye and moved back towards the stairs. Just infront, saw the most scary scene of my life. A man was getting dragged alongwith the train in the general bogey and how he escaped death or injury is truly a miracle.
We returned back to BHU with the Sun in its full bloom just above our eyes. It was really painful. So much for a 5 minute meeting. Maybe people wont consider me that bad now...

"Astrology : Science or Myth ?"
1st of all, how come an engineering student even remotely believe in an area as controversial as astrology? Isnt it nonsensical? Well, the solution to the query lies in the mishaps in the life of the blogger and how they changed his thought process, mindset and how astrology helped him in coming out of that particular bad phase in life.
It is not being claimed here that Astro is an exact science like physics or botany, nonetheless it too has its roots in ancient Indian scriptures including VEDAS which were formulated by damn intelligent people. Indian astrology is more like an integral part of the lives of the people of this country over thousands of years. Can you imagine any marriage or other important ritual taking place without finding out the auspiscious Muhurta? Ours is a country of believers and we inherently believe in Karma and other such divinely things. I can definitely say, from experience, that gem stones do help in rectifying problems.
I am not claiming that since they can provide some help during crises so we should be completely dependent on them. Rather, do your duty sincerely, and if you wish for some divine help and good luck, try them. They can cause some good. But dont become dependent on them. That may prove harmful.
