First of all ,Happy dusshera to all :) !! When i was a kid, Dusshera was fun because of many reasons..1)Holidays :D 2) New dress for the festival ;) 3) Decorating and doin puja to my cycle ;) lol and 4)ofcourse the yummmy foood !
But now..!! man...for me..dusshera is the time to let ur hair down and dance ur way to glory...i enjoy dancing at the navratri dandiya nights@malla reddy gardens. ive been going there for the past two years and the excitement and enjoyment just gets better and better ! M just being honest ! this proves a point that festivals these days are just considered to be fun. We forget the reason behind celebrating them. Its just another holiday for us, right? I am saying that I am no different in thinking this way but ofcourse i am ashamed of it !! This attitude has got to change.
Anyways, a lot of things have been happening with me these days..!(wrt FUN ;) ) I celebrated my birthday last month and it was one of the best birthdays ever!! Went on a tour to North India with my college mates and the places that we say were very picturesque. I personally loved Akshardham temple,Kufri, manali, rothangpass and golden temple.
After getting back to Hyderabad, I got to know that SAHASRA, an organisation started by SAI PRASAD, Student of ISB, Hyderabad was conducting a seminar on ways to crack the various competitive exams like GRE,GMAT,CAT,GATE. Sounds boring, doesnt it? Well, even I thought the same way! I was not sure if I could go along the whole day listening to some people talking about all these entrance exams, Giving tips to crack them. But I was mistaken. Sai, himself was a very inspiring personality ! He is a differently abled person who made it sound as though his life was a cake walk, but i am sure he had to face many hardships to become the person that he is today. He did his EEE from CBIT, got placed into INFOSYS for a few days, got an amazing score of 1470 in GRE and then went on to do MS In univ of Wiscosin, then shifted to CSE dept there and was the only person to get a RA with his profile in the CSE dept which I think is great, considering the fact that he came from electrical background. Now, he is doing his MBA in ISB. He is running SAHASRA alongside his MBA. Had loads of humor and real life stories to share with us during his talk. I can for sure say that he is one of the very few people who actually left an impact on me the very first time!
He made it clear that we should explore ourselves, leaving behind the barriers of caste, creed, and the Fear of being laughed at! We should be able to try different things, do crazy stuff, enjoy life, and BE SMART not hardworking. WORK SMART, NOT HARD to be more precise!
hmm...i can go on and on about it but I guess its time that i stop :)
Will be back again !! till then
ADIOS !!
:D
