The wheel of fortune!

The wheel of fortune spins - we wait for it to stop - & see 'what are luck' brings in. But I was always sure that I would get a ' better luck next time!'.

This wheel, lottery is never for me. I never bought a lottery ticket coz I know I won't get any 'by chance' fortune.

"God helps those who help themselves", yeah right!.... that has been my case, always.

I missed my 10th grade board merit list by 7 marks. Yes, I should have studied a bit more. I lost my Govt. College seat to a reserved category student who had scored 50% less marks than me, in the 12th grade exams. Yes, again I could have been standing ahead of him, in the line, I guess!

So to sum it up, this wheel thing is just not for me! So what, I do play it for fun. Who cares, win or lose? But I am sure of one thing, I have been working hard for my success, my dreams, my achievements, and will be working so henceforth. No 'luck by chance here'! You swim through only if you have it in you. No wheel of fortune would just make your dreams come true if you dont take efforts.

So work hard, get going, no matter what, no God is going to shower you with riches when you are just lying on your bed. Get up! Do it!

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
