a new unexpected experience

The last day of the year gone by had something interesting to teach me.....before beginning let me tell everyone who has bothered to read this post....that like most of the common people I also have a very negative perception of the policemen....but this experience forced me to have some pondering at my prejudices....
It so happened that I was driving down the road when the light turned yellow and by the time I reached the crossing It had turned red...seeing nobody around and having the so usual attitude "kya pharak padta hai"....i jumped the red light...besides it was not a busy one....so I thought it was ok....But suddenly a cop emerged and stopped me....
I first tried to evade him...and actually tried to bluff him saying that it had not turned red by the time I had reached crossing but he was not be be fooled.....i had to come out of my car....He asked for my license....I had heard that these constables take up your license and then demand whatever they wish..I had the age old notion about the policeman and I was very sure that he would soon be asking for bribe....
But here the experience turns different....he took the license from me...simply noted down the details ..asked for my insurance ..at which i again had the feeling that he is trying to find some problem with the papers so that he can fleece me...but he merely asked me the number..handed me a 100 Rs fine...and then actually made me realize my mistake...what he said was that one should not have this habbit of trying to avoid fine by lying...because you are young and the habbits formed at this age are difficult to change....more than his words the way that he told them had a sense of genuineness to it...
I had a different experience that day and that made me think that just like any other profession, good and bad people are everywhere. It is because of few good people that this world is still functioning despite all its faults.

Some new changes in life

haven't posted in a long while.....today decided to do it..because i wanted to test some feature of google reader..for that i had to post a blog...so thought of it as a good oppurtunity to write something....

Its been a week since I have started maintaining a personal diary...the trigger to this was that I was realized that I was wasting far too much time on unproductive activities and I wasn't even getting to know where the time was getting spent....also a big reason was that I needed to regulate myself..my sleeping waking patterns have gone for a toss lately(well when were they right !!!!!)

OK now what do I do in my diary..nothing much just the main main events in the day...when did i get up...what did i do..when did i take my bath...what did i do constructive....who all visited our home...

So how has it helped...well to some little extent it is helping...I am kind of keeping tab of where I am wasting my time and trying to improve that although not much successful on actually improving that.. Then i try to make a planner for the next day and next day try to stick to it...again not actaully very successful at implemnting it...

But atleast its a start ...lets see how far can i take it....

beggars

Today i went to cannought place.their i saw beggars.it was not the first time that i saw beggars their.but i felt bad as happens with everyone.and we all forget.i want to do something for it.i dont know what i can do.therefore i am writing this so those who read this can come forwad and do what they can.

we say that we should not give anything to beggars because they spend it on alcohol etc.then their are mafias operating and the money we give to beggar does not actually is of any use but it promotes the evil itself.
we give many reasons to satisfy our conscience and later forget.......

but it cannot be ignored that they may be acting or they maybe using their own children to beg and using n no of bad things .....but then they are in need of help....and also their are many many real tragedies with people without clothes and with all sorts of diseases lying on the road in winter,in rain.....

something should be done....

i dont know what exactly should be done....i am weak/lazy and yes fearful.......but i want to help.....
so my friends whoever is reading this...please spare some time and think what can be done.......and try to make a network which can do something against this evil of beggary......
if i can be in any way a participant in this contact me at

after years

today i talked to my first school crush...........:)
funny just yesterday i was talking about her and today i met her on orkut........

A secret

Here is a something that i have hidden(or rather not told anyone) about.
I wanted to get myself admitted in VMC after class Xth.I gave the entrance test for it but could not clear it.The mail came at my place regarding my non selection.However by some mistake the letter bore wrong role no.So that allowed an excuse to go and talk to the people at VMC .
So we went there and somehow convinced Sandeep bhaia of admitting me in VMC as my past school record was brilliant.

In retrospect I think that i should not have taken that decision.For one because i was never honest in accepting the fact to anyone that i had manged to get admission in there by the means which could not be said to be perfectly correct and two because i somwhow could never place myself at par with the people who were selected defacto at VMC so it was quite a morale dampener.

It still is difficult for me to accept to anyone that i was not a VMC regular solely on my own merit because somehow i have made VM more important thn myself and still give myself some non-voluntary ego masage.I still want that people should consider me as intelligent and again non-voluntarily i still take VM selection as my ticket to it(although now i myself want to move away from it because i know that i am much more than a mere selection at VM)

some thoughts about my interaction with opposite sex

I have over the last 4 years that is my college years become quite recicent as far talking to girls is concerned.I was quite a talkative person in my school days and had little hesitation in talking to girls but in colege slowly and slowly everything changed.While most of my freinds became quite open in the college life with me it was exact opposite.Very steadily and unknowingly i distanced myself from girls .

some thoughts

If God answers your prayers, he's increasing your faith;
If he delays, he's increasing your patience;
If he doesn't, he has faith in your abilities.
