Success

Battles of life are endless,
get geared up for your test.
Don’t settle for anything less,
Expect the best.
You are not like the rest,
You deserve the best,
Fight with zest,
Then, take some rest.
Again, fight with zest.
Finally,you will stand at crest,
and experience the feeling,
you will not be able express,

‘coz,that is, SUCCESS.

What I understand by Journey called LIFE?

  • Life is a matrix,created by GOD.
  • Life is a competition,to be won without the use of performance enhancing drugs.
  • Life is a roller coaster, at the beginning it’s slow and ascending, but, once it reaches the top, then, there is no straight,simple path, there are ups and downs and loops, if you lose hope, you are finished, but, if you have the courage to face each and every challenge with your eyes open, at the end, you feel you are on top of the world.
  • Life and time both are hard to define, but, just a second, is sufficient to experience their existence.
  • Life is an unsolved mystery, and the grave is not its goal.It depends on the soul, sorrow and happiness play a major role, but,I still think it’s not enough what I told.

Now, that, we are going to start a new life and enter the real world, just believe me no one can define life completely in words, so,nothing can be said for sure about life. But, just one thing is sure about life, that, you are the architect of your own life and no one can influence your destiny, neither your senior nor your boss, everything is in your hands. So, make the best of it.

The Journey Begins...

I want to get into IIT!
My goal is to be an IITian!

I had uttered these words to myself for two years. It all started from the day I finished the S.S.C. examination. IIT was the only thing on my mind. The tempo was, so, high that I knew months before, the IIT-Joint Entrance Examination, that,I would clear it and I did it. But, I had never ever imagined it to be IIT Kharagpur, it was always IIT Bombay, which is 20 minutes drive from my home.But, all hopes shattered, I had to come 1870km away from home, away from my family, away from my friends, to a place never seen, never even bothered to know the state to which it belonged.
I decided and I was here with my dad. I saw the hostel better, than, expectation.I saw the main building,”Wow! It’s awesome”, was the first thing, that, came to my mind. After,the registration process got over, I headed towards Vikramshila.My dad was about to leave,he was already getting late for his train.I hugged him and headed back to Vikramshila.......It was, that,very moment I realised how crazy I was! How on earth could I have decided to stay in this massive place, away from my family, my dearest friends who have always been by my side for a period of 5 years,when I don’t even remember, if I would have left them for even 5 days...I really wanted to cry,I regretted my decision,but,I pushed my tears back and ran back to him and hugged him again and said, “If not for myself, I’ll win the battles and the war for you.”
IIT Kharagpur became my new home.I cannot call it heaven, because, heaven has angels and my mother is not here. After two years of hardwork and sacrifices, I come up here for 5 years for what?? More sacrifices!! Yes..this is life. This was my first bitter experience at IITKGP.
