My daily soap serial:-
Now a day’s soap and serials are the best way towards indoor entertainment. Almost every house wife after spending her time in doing various household chores entertains herself seeing these serials. And it’s not just the housewives who love to see these serials, male house members and even young generation also love to entertain themselves watching daily soaps and serials. These soaps and serials have therefore emerged as a very popular way of entertainment. For example walking on roads or traveling in a bus you might hear few people discussing about such serials. Now a day’s reality shows are popular like Indian idol, dance India dance, boogie woogie, est. such serials have helped a lot bringing out talent from the most unexpected corners or middle or lower class societies which might gave been hidden forever unless given a chance, and these are the stages where they are given a chance to prove themselves. I have been noticing that now a day’s serials are basing their stories on superstitions. This aspect about soaps and serials has not been causing a very good influence. It shows that as much as these soaps and serials are entertaining they are not very real. Some people get attached and attracted to these serials that they will even miss their meal time to watch them. And some people are so crazily attracted to these soaps and serials that they get addicted to them watching them daily non stop.
Moral of the story: - soaps and serials are very entertaining but we shouldn’t be addicted to it.

A LOOK INTO IIT,KGP(KGP STANDS 4 KHARAGPUR) Namaste folks!!!! I would like to give you a glimpse of iit,kgp inside and outside. From the outside the hostels seem to give you a floral view of an excellent, beautiful and maintained building. But the story begins when you enter these buildings. The 1st year students are definitely treated better and the rooms allotted to them are good. But the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year are allotted rooms in very old buildings. The rooms there are smelly, musty and very old. The students who have been allotted single rooms are comparatively in a better condition than those who are sharing it with other roommates. I have added a video of R.K. Hall. Also I have added a video of the campus area. I.I.T. campus is definitely vast and beautiful, no doubt. But you will get a heart attack when you get to peep into one of the rooms. The video of the room I have added is the most clean room around. The mess and its yucky food:- The food that is provided in the mess is very bad and students have been lodging complaints upon complaints but no one seems to bother about it. Medical facilities:- All you readers must be well known about the recent case of a student dying due to inadequate medical facilities in IIT, kgp. Let me tell you what happened in brief. The boy was a 3rd year student named, Rohit Kumar. He was sick and was returning from the campus hospital in a rickshaw when he fell down and his nose started bleeding. His fellow students immediately took him to the campus hospital where for three hours he was kept. The doctors knew it from the beginning that they didn’t have adequate facilities to treat the poor child and still they took three hours to come up and say they would have to take the patient to Kolkata for treatment. And on the way only he died. He could have survived if they would have immediately taken him to Kolkata. The students got furious about this whole thing and protested against the hospital and the director. The students threw stones at the director’s office as well. Finally the then present dean had to resign and in his place another dean was chosen. But let me tell you he too has a political background so I have heard. Last year a 5th year student named Anshul Gupta had some serious disease, which the doctors there couldn’t detect. And for three whole days he lay in the hospital bed without knowing what disease he was suffering. He is still in the ICU, Ward of Delhi’s Apolo hospital. Recently one of the students,(name withheld) was suffering from stomach pain. So he went to the campus hospital where he was told that he would have to be immediately operated as he had appendix. He got scared and didn’t know what he should do. So he decided to visit another doctor outside the campus area who said that it was a case of mere indigestion and gave him a few medicines, after taking which he got cured of his illness. There are even more such cases. Now that the dean has changed and the hospital facilities are getting changed. Let’s see how much change they can bring. All I can say is that the parents of the IIT, students can not stay tension free or relieved even after getting their children admitted in such a big institute. Something or the other keeps happening there. Anyways let’s hope the medical facilities show a really big change. Here are some of my favourite songs and videos hope you like them. Enjoy!! And don’t forget to write me some comments. I would really love to get your views about my blog.
MY SPECIAL CORNER:-
In the corner of my house’s drawing room are three beautifully carved marble racks on which lies my precious collection of story books. It’s my own special corner, my own small private library with a total of around 150 books. There’s a stool by its side on which you can sit, pick out a book, make yourself comfy and cosy with a cup of tea in your hand maybe, create the atmosphere needed and read your book in peace. [Ah!!!!!! That’s one thing I like.]
You must be curious into knowing what kind of books I am into. So let me tell you I have all kinds of books for all age groups. I have tinkle, Archie’s comics, famous five, secret seven and mystery tales by Enid Blyton. Also I have romantic novels by Nora Roberts, Daniel steel, Jackie Collins, Barbara Taylor Bradford. I even have Chetan Bhagat’s, five point someone, three mistakes of my life. Other books I have are Irving Wallace’s- second lady, Jane Austein’s- Pride and prejudice, Charles Dicken’s- Great expectations, Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle’s- 7 novels of Sherlock holmes and tales of mystery and terror. I also have a recent book series based on a popular television serial featuring Ashley and Marrykate Olsen( 2 hot Malibu stars). There are even more books but if I start mentioning them my day will get over and you will fall asleep just reading their names.
Well anyways. Got you in a mood of reading a story book, didn’t I? I wish I could invite you over and show you my priceless possession so that you could get to enjoy it as much as I do. Anyhow one things true that I am totally and crazily into buying and reading story books.

My onstage performance:-

My brother studies in IIT, Kharagpur. He’s in his second year right now. He was
elected as spring fest organiser. So as an organiser he knew about the different events that would take place in it. And he told me about it. When I heard about the karaoke competition I asked him if I could take part in it. He said yes!! I got very excited and asked my dad if I could take part in it, he too agreed. There was no end to my happiness that day. I had always dreamed of going on stage. My brother described the rules to me. And told me that I will have to bring a cd with the song I choose, with its vocals removed.
As I had never sung anywhere before in my life, I thought of under going a little bit of vocal training. And for that it was essential to find a singing teacher. My brother contacted his friends to find out if there was any one who would be interested to teach me. I finally found a teacher. After this whole thing my brother came to me and said that he doesn’t think that I would be able to go up stage and sing, since I am very reserved. When I get nervous seeing new faces then how will I go up on stage and sing. Hearing this I started crying. For about two to three hours I didn’t talk to any one. All I did was cry, cry, and cry a bit more. Finally my brother said that if I learn to sing better with confidence within two months then I should surely go ahead. I agreed. My tutor told me that I shouldn’t rush and that my class will start after a few days since she was busy. After a few days I called her up and told her that I would be going to puri with my family, and since it meant that my class would have to be postponed by another week, would it be possible for me to learn with in 5 weeks. She assured me that there would be no problem as such, so I enjoyed my stay at puri fully relaxed. When I came back my teacher said she has to go to bangalore for some show, so I would have to wait until she comes back. She told me that she would contact me as soon as she would be finished with the show and back to Kolkata. She contacted me 30 days before my fest and told me that she is still not free but is back to Kolkata and will adjust my timing.
My first day of learning singing was not that much of good, as I was nervous. But she told me that I had a good voice and I should keep practising the song and the 7 notes she gave me. I did exactly the same. Next day I choose a song which I decided to sing in the fest it was genie in a bottle originally sung by Christina augleria. My mom kept on insisting me to quit the thought of singing in the fest. She told me that I had a good voice which I should improve before going on stage and for that time and practise is needed. But I stuck to my decision and gave it my best shot with lots and lots of practise each day. As the day neared my dad asked me who would take me to Kharagpur and who would bring me back.
In the end my mom and dad agreed to take me to Kharagpur. I was very happy and excited. I was advised by my friends and teacher to give my vocal cords a little rest before the competition. I did exactly as they had said. We were going by our car. And you won’t believe what happened my dad had forgotten to refill the car with petrol so we had to get it filled up. Let me tell you that I am very much allergic to the smell of petrol and since we had to stop by a petrol station I had to smell the horrible smell which I am allergic to. After this through out the way I went on vomiting. And my head started paining and I felt sick. My condition was a bit better when we reached Kharagpur. The whole of IIT campus seemed to be alive with excited people. It was then when I felt a sort of chill run inside my stomach. But I didn’t let anyone see how tensed I had gotten seeing so many people around. we were informed that the judges hadn’t arrived yet which is why the competition will be delayed by a few hours. Hearing this I felt a little relaxed. And as the competition was delayed we decided to have lunch. I tried to gulp down some food but I was still feeling sick and couldn’t. After this I got my participant card and I was told that I was 11th. But then when I didn’t hear my name being called even after at least 12 performers I got tensed, later on I got to know that as I had got the song track in a pen drive I will have to wait and those participants who have gotten there song in a cd will get to go first. My dad got angry and said we will have to leave by four at least, as it would get dark and impossible to drive in the highway. And then a very strange thing happened, all the non participants were told to move out of the auditorium. My dad got very angry and told me that we should be leaving now, we cannot wait any longer as it had already started to get dark. My mood was turned down, and my dad tried to cheer me up even saying sorry. But I didn’t listen to anyone I kept on crying and saying that I have a bad luck I will never be able to do anything and all the time things keep on happening to me. We were outside the campus and half way out of Kharagpur when I was still crying and something came out of my mouth that shouldn’t have come out. I said even now I am thinking maybe just maybe you guys will take me back but no why should I think like that because you don’t want me to sing or get on stage. Then my dad told our driver to stop the car and take a U turn. Then I said sorry and said that you don’t have to. But my dad didn’t listen to me. Then he told me very calmly that I should go ahead and give my best shot and that they will be waiting for me outside. I tried to get inside the auditorium but the guard stopped me as some big singer was coming to IIT, for which the security was tight. And as I didn’t have my participation card he didn’t let me in. then I called my brother who told the guard that I was a participant and he will have to take me in. I got in, rubbed away the tears from my face, and hurried inside the auditorium. After two people my name was called and I got up on stage with full confidence and started singing. But in between I looked up at the audience and got the chill which is why I messed up two lines but after this I pulled myself together and gave it my full shot. After I ended and started to walk back to my seat among the audience, the audience started to clap and applaud. Though I was not awarded with any trophy which I knew I wouldn’t be but I got the most precious award of all, it was confidence and a sort of satisfaction to have fulfilled my dream. After my performance we slowly drove back home. My family members wished they could hear me sing but any how at least in the end every thing was fine.

Hectic days:-
I am a third year b.com student studying under Kolkata University. But trust me I wish I would have studied under Delhi University or any other University. Since the first year I have given a good effort in my studies but with no avail. The results always shock me. When I am expecting a 60 I get a mere 40. And when I am expecting 75 to 80 I get near about 50 to 55. Even when I know I have given my paper good I will still get an average. I had given my I.S.C. and I.C.S.E. under Delhi University and I got about 75% in both cases only due to my economics and maths my overall %age dropped to 75% other wise I would have got even a higher %age. I don’t understand why under Kolkata University the answer sheet checkers get paid less. This might be a very good reason why those people who check the paper don’t bother much about students. They say that Kolkata University has a high standard that’s why our papers are so strictly checked. It might be the case but whatever it is it really does turn us student’s enthusiasm, morale and every other thing down. And being a student I can tell you that general papers are much worst checked then honours.
Well anyhow exams are approaching right now. Honours exams will start from 21st April and for general, exams will be starting from 21st may. So once again the hectic days have begun with nothing but studying and more studying. The more I know I have to and should study the more I feel the urge to ignore the whole studying business. But in the end you have to study either with a sad face or a smile on your face. So ultimately there is no choice. So guys and girls I guess your exams must be near too, so study hard and best of luck. Hope we all survive in the end.
My school days:
There are some incidents that I would like to share with you guys.
1. When I was in class five one of my school teachers scolded me a lot because in my answer sheet I had scribbled a three line answer in one line even when I had a whole blank sheet left. She told me that she would deduct my marks for that. The next day we got our answer sheets I saw that she had given me full marks for the question. Before leaving she asked any one has any queries, and you won’t believe what I did, I raised my hand and said very innocently mam! You said you would be deducting my marks for untidily scribbling the whole answer in just one line, but you didn’t After this the whole class rolled in to fits of laughter. And I stood there watching mam smile and leave the class saying so you wanted me to deduct your marks.1. One day while returning home from satsang one of my brother’s and my friend asked us if she could accompany us we agreed. On our way home she stopped and told us to wait while she went inside some buildings garage. From there she brought out a sweet little kitten. She explained us that the kitten had lost her mother and so she always stops by to feed the kitten. She showed me how to hold the kitten and I held it exactly the way she instructed me too. Then all of a sudden she said why you guys don’t take it to your home. I didn’t know what to say but after a few seconds I agreed. Just then the owner of the building came and said go ahead beta take it to your home, we don’t want it anyway. So I took it home with out even thinking once that my mother could be against keeping pets. And when I showed it to my mother she got very angry and refused to keep the kitten in anyway. Ultimately one of our neighbours took it.
2. I was very dominating as a sister, which I regret now. Once my mother gave us a few questions to solve and went to her kitchen to work. My brother couldn’t solve one question and opened the book to look for answer. I saw him doing this. And started blackmailing him. When ever he refused to let me see my favourite television show or bring a glass of water for me I used to say if you don’t I will tell mom what you did. I used to make him do the house chores.
3. I remember the day when my sweet little younger brother had learned to tie up his shoe laces. That day he screamed with joy saying see what I just did! He used to be so scared of darkness. When he was small he used to love watching cartoon network featuring caption planet and swap cats. Once when he was dancing on the tune caption planet he stumbled and fell down landing on his jaw. He got hurt very badly. We took him to our family doctor who said he will have to stich the area. I got very scared. When the doctor was injecting the area to numb it. I screamed and held his hand and almost near tears said don’t hurt my brother. My brother on the contrary sat silently with patience. In the end I was sent out of the room. Once by mistake my mother closed the door without seeing that my brother’s fingers where in the gap, and my brother started crying. Seeing this I shouted at my mother on top of my voice saying “apko dikhai nahi deta hai!!!!” Once a neighbouring kid took my brother’s bat I shouted at him but I couldn’t get the bat.
Sai baba’s balvikas clas
VAKRA TUNDA MAHA KAYA
SURYA KOTI SAMA PRABHA
NEER VIGNAM KURUMAY DEVA
SARVA KARYA SU SARVADA!!
When I was a kid, I used to go to saibaba’s class. We used to hold satsangs almost twice a week. My tution teacher happened to be a part of this class, and through her only me and my younger brother got to know about this class and we joined it. But later on due to the pressure of studies and other factors I had to leave this class. I was in this class for two to three years or more I guess. I remember being a part of a rally and this rally was held for some good cause which unfortunately I don’t recall. I also remember being with some poor children and talking to them, also taking part in some functions. Something that I really remember clearly is my taking part in a drama and a painting competition and you wont believe what I got second prize in the painting competition. I have a picture of me in a sari while performing my part in the drama. Every day we used to learn new shloks and bhajans.
Sometimes when there was a free period in our school our school caretaker used to sit in the class and talk with us. And every time she used to call me up in front of our big blackboard and tell me to say some prayers and bhajans. I used to love saying the prayers I had learned from my satsangs. But gradually that time faded. Now if you ask me to say some bhajans I would only be able to tell you our gayatri mantra, hanuman chalisa, om jai jagdish hare and a few others.
All I would say is it was a most memorable part of my life. I wish I could still be a part of this balvikas class!!

MY SCHOOL LIFE

Like every other grown up i also feel that school days are always a special part of one's lifetime. if it goes its hard to bring back those times. school was all about, masti, friendship, studies, and play. My school life was not that much of rocking. i was not even near the popular boys and girls of our class. When i was in class nine i had my first crush on a new boy in our class. The problem was that even my best friend had a crush on him. Even when my best friend and i were together, somewhere in our hearts we felt it was a big problem. But this whole thing ended pretty soon.

I used to study maths in a coaching class held by barnali mam, there i met mr. abc, our class hottie. Gosh! he used to carry himself around with such grace and elegance. His style, looks, attitude,made allmost all the girls in our class fall flat for him. The most important thing that struck me was that he didnt show any arrogance. I had a crush on this guy, but this time my best friend had a love factor for him. I started disliking my friend for liking the same person whom i liked again. But now i feel really bad when i think of the whole matter. I didnt tell her about my crush on him too, and told her that i will stay out of the whole thing. But to tell you the truth i pretty much tried my level best to butt my way in. It felt almost like i was in a competition rather than in a crush. my frnd x as for one truly loved him and still does. If you ask me i would say in my case it was not at the least more than a stupid little crush for me.

what is love?

What is love? N what effect it sometimes

Causes !!

“Love” a word that we are all very familiar with or maybe we think we are familiar with. When we see a good looking man or woman we feel like being with them. We want them to notice us and compliment us. We all rush a rush to look the best we can. Is this feeling love? The one that makes us worry so much about our looks. When a 16 year old boy or girl sees a handsome teacher even when she’s or he’s 40 he or she gets attracted to him. Is this love? When we see a famous television actor or actress we think there is no one in this world who matches the capabilities of such television actors or actress. We consider them to be our idols, and become their fans. Is this love? When our heart gets stuck for a handsome looking guy even when he is bad individually, is this love? If this is love then I have to say that love is blind. The logic of our mind is very odd in the sense that we like someone not because that person is good, but we consider that person good just because we like them. We never listen to our instinct that sometimes tells or warns us that what we are doing might be wrong. We follow the instructions that we think our heart gives. We do what we are willing to do even when we know what we are doing might be wrong.

What exactly is love? It may be some kind of a way to achieve relaxation. Or it may be a kind of respect concerns and gratitude we show towards a certain person.

Is love lust? Is love just pain, blood struggle and banging against the wall. If so why do we fall in love? According to Hindu mythology love is a feeling that develops only between married couples. And it means pure devotion and sacrifice towards your partner. It means following the seven oaths that you take while you are getting married.

If we describe love in scientific terms, then we would say love is just a feeling due to some chemical reactions inside us.

Now let me give you an example to explain my point every next day we get to hear in news channels or news paper that a certain boy or girl threw acid on the person he or she loved or a certain boy or girl committed suicide just because they had been rejected by the person that they loved. Now a day’s some young boys and girls feel that if they didn’t get the same kind of love and affection that they want to get from a certain person then their life is not worth living or they start hating the person who rejected their love.

Now a day’s young boys and girls are being made aware of sex related information which is most definitely and undoubtedly a very good thing. But youngsters after knowing about things like these want to try them. Now a day’s some youngsters develop a habit of watching porn, which is a very bad habit. It has been getting hard for the parents to stop their children from doing things that they shouldn’t do. At present days even a fourteen or fifteen year old boy or girl has a girlfriend or boyfriend, and they bunk schools to go to a cinema theatre or park with their lovers. Instead of paying attention to their studies their mind gets diverted in to these things. And as they get more and more indulged into things like these they have to face major depression sometimes. What is happening these days is beyond explanation. The concept of love has changed. Looking at the present scenario I can definitely say that we are all (not just youngster’s even matured people) under the hallucination that love is like a sunny bright feeling, it is this!! It is that! Or that it means that a certain person is more than the whole world for a certain someone. Or we consider love to be such things that we think they are but at a certain level we are not sure of it. What ever it is it surely does makes us think weirdly sometimes.
