A journey to apogee

Demagogue - The Chosen One
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!Thursday, April 8, 2010
Living my past self..
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
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.....
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.....
