Demagogue - The Chosen One

Living the life the way it is offered to you is peaceful, but at times one turns out to be violent!
I almost agreed for it, but " Wo Kehte hain na jo hota hai ache ke liye hota hai; Galat kehte hain".

Life would have been much more peaceful and calm had I done the expected, but as the unpredictable mind pushes, you lose control and let it go. One fine day, to suffice my restlessness, I offered myself to a friend and his group for an entrepreneurial initiative of theirs and to my surprise they gave a positive response, some meetings were fixed and rest all is history. Almost an year has passed and I still lay restless, clueless, finding what lies in the box of life, full of energy, questioning every bit, yet moving ahead to do the undone.

This journey has been unabridged up till now. It is the moments spent here which would make a perfectly knitted dream come into reality one day. Destiny leads you to places, people, situations, sadness, happiness to its greatest heights and to its worse, but with it, it also gives the courage to deal with it. All this has lead to a point, where I have taken rough decisions, , criticized myself, appreciated insult, respected the wrong for the right, challenged myself and more to come as time passes by, but all of it just so much worth it! The times have been enunciating, demanding me in places of my disinterest yet important, irrespective of my tiresome efforts to avoid such situations.

Past is all gone, and now what lies in front of me are a handful of resources, ready to blow off. Five people, some vague vision to make an entrepreneurial initiative-a software company be the fortune of hundreds one day.

By the way, it all started by a small online game "Demagogue - The Chosen One" but we chose it for a little longer than it lasted. Things ain't the same now, they have changed; 2 people have left who were with us from the beginning, it feels kind of low at times, but the energy of the rest and passion from within fires-up and hold's us tight, firm into the cement making it difficult day by day with more energy than ever.

I am happy that I chose to be this way, life is never easy, it will never be, neither will it be peaceful at any point of time, it will just change its course to make you feel a certain way and will always win, to give you more, to make you achieve more, to make you what you want one day and that is all.

It all sums up in the end by contradicting myself and accepting, "Wo kehte hain na, jo hota hai ache ke liye hota hai, SAHI KEHTE HAIN"

My Internship Experience- Krasnoyarsk, Russia

As a young & striving 19 year old, one may not experience life at its best, not because we are not ready to accept the atrocities of life, but just because our choices are not that critical.

On the contrary, I consider myself fortunate to make one such choice which competely influenced my self being. This choice was none other than choosing to go for an internship!

My unshaken trust in AIESEC to change lives eventually effected me after working for 2 years for AIESEC Chandigarh, India, when I applied and got selected for an education internship in Krasnoyarsk, Russiain summer camp. It was a journey whose leader and follower was no different but myself. My complete stay in an alien environment (initially) was a challenge on my face which I openly accepted and with the help of AIESEC Krasnoyarsk overcame victorius.

I would sum my internship experience as the most memorable and learned event that I could come across uptil now. I never wished to go back, but time is so unjust and cruel, it always passes by & all we are left is memories.

I wish to go back there, again get a pick-up by an AIESECer at the airport, have a homestay for a day with completely unknown people who just in a matter of day’s time become a family outside home, head for my camp where I am given the most amazing welcome by my students, again teach the same children every morning, go for bonfire with the whole camp along the riverside, scold my students to sleep on time every night, prepare lessons for them overnight, to be able to stand with honor and dignity & sing out loud my national anthem infront of more than a hundred people and being the only person to represent my country and at the end, meet all those people whom I never knew before I came, but came so close to me in this short span that I can never forget these friends who made my effort worthy of it.

All this was made possible because of AIESEC. I took this oppurtunity, now the question is do you want to experience the same.

It’s upto you!

Living my past self..

Today was a great day, started off well with reaching college just 1 hour late (as usual) and still not attending the class as it might be lame as I would not understand a thing. Soon was the realisation of my exams pouncing on, the next week, which made me aware of the thought that I had to gather notes and as I plan it every time (yet no results) this time, this particular time get better results. Further it was followed by returning some stuff of my collegeates in his hostel and then getting a call from my beeraa..(as I call him, a very close friend, my ideal self and my motivation) met him at him Barista-11 and had some quality time for about an hour their.
After this I made a move to my home where I reached and strolled for some time, watched 2-3 episodes of How I Met Your Mother, checked Facebook for a while and finally slept in the afternoon (my god!!! urrrgghhh...... from childhood times my parents had a problem because I dint use to sleep in the afternoon, but they use to be curb me and ensured that I slept ) :)
Then I woke up recalled my old passion of cooking and developed onto it! UUuuuummmm........ the hakka noodles was awesome..... and made a move to my dear AIESEC office. here we gave a surprise to Aseem (one of my team members) and came back late at 12 at home. after I reached had a long conversation with a buddy of some currently revolving animal and rest is history.

So now as what the title endeavours to justify .....is just so real and an exercise which I thing every human being should do follow.
In the race of being the person this world conspires from you, it becomes crazy sometimes
and even you tend to loose your soul onto that. In becoming better, we loose onto the good things which fulfill all voids of our life and focus on the size of the voids
But this today which I lived was Fantabolous.... which helped me regain my strength which i was losing onto with time through various loopholes in my present to reach ITHACA as my mentor says....
In the end it was A Fine Day which recalled my life before college when tutions used to get over soon at about 2pm and I used to reach home and had time for more than anything but MYSELF!
Just as I would like to end this, one small thing............
"ENDEVOURS TO ENLIGHTEN ON YOUR PAST, BRIGHTEN'S YOUR FUTURE"

Yet Again

Today again I did what was expected of a common mind, but the uncommon part was I woke up from my sub-conscous mind and realised the latter part of my brain. Sometimes it is us only doing certain things which we realise later that it is controlled by some non-mandatory functionalites of our brain which eventually are a harm to our personality or termed as multi-personality disorder. But the best part was I realised that it was not me but my unconscious mind under some influence making it happen and worsen for me.
It is like going to a battle unprepared knowng that you will die and promsing your friend to meet after the war, knowing the fact that you are vulnerable is good but knowing this and still not takng a shield is stupidity. But this time it was different from commiting a mistake to accepting your fault to rise up from that intermediate stage to refined stage where whatever comes is the output or you can say Simply the Best!
To just add some zeal to the whole day "Kartik Calling Kartik" added more clarity by provdng with such techncal terms to the day which helped me fnd another ME in ME.!

So I begin.....

The beginning of a new decade has brought in a new era for my inner self. I always use to wonder how different I was, was I worth anything or was something worth me. These culminated thought's eat our soul and we are unable to understand the bigger picture of it.
Every thing is relative, whether it's your growth, your maturity or your learning. But one thing that we forget is with what should we relate to. The answer to it lies within yourself we are simply ignorant to our best part and thats it, no rocket science. We tend to look up to people and seek their help, it is a good exercise indeed but we often land up being crippled of our thoughts as we are always dependent. Fortunately, I have decided to unleash the enigma of my mind by safely keeping aside my crutches in a closet for future and moving ahead for a wonderful today. I thank all the lives which ever touched me ever.
Relation begins and ends when you want them to end or begin. At the end of your life you will never regret having passed one more test, winning or losing one more verdict or not closing one more deal, but you will surely regret time not spent with a dear one, a friend, a parent a sister. Time plays it all, he only does it to annoy because he knows it teases. I was sentenced to this teaser but thats history, I overcame it,this is my saga
Just an ending note.......
When I was 3 and dumb I fell, I stood up again without knowing what it mite be to rise up, but now I am 18 and intelligent, then why am I afraid to stand up again. This thought gives me all the more courage to do what has never been witnessed all through. Every skyscraper begins from a heap of earth so does a journey to the thousandth star from where one stands.....
