Hey guys back and will share some of my recent failures and mishaps.I wish to learn from them and improve as student and individual.
Firstly I lost my job as a research assistant..came to me as shock as never expected it.The reasons being professor didn't have enough funds. Honestly speaking i think he was happy with my work but he had some other plans and hence decided not to hire anyone for the fall semester and told it pretty late so that we would concentrate on the work. But I have nothing against him and for lot of reasons and one of the most important being he gave me a job when I needed it desperately. I really think getting jobs is matter of luck and time.... more than if you deserve it or not....what matters is that were you there at the right time and did you push the right buttons.
Anyways I also did fail in SCJP exam scoring 55% when i needed 58% to pass.I was close but really I was not prepared and always knew that. But somehow was banking on my luck to scrape me through and did not happen. I have lot of reasons for my failure if I analyse it...its funny our mind always tries to protect itself and
never agrees it maybe at fault. Honestly I think I did not study well enough and in the right direction therefore failing was always on the cards. I have learnt one thing that delaying never works and we need to make little sacrifices at times for bigger joys.
Anyways it seems my search for on campus jobs is also going to turn futile. Although there are few chances here and there...it is very likely that I might end up jobless in this semester. But I am not that disappointed..as I have done pretty much my best to get a job unlike earlier time where I just sat on my ass and kept whining without making any persistent efforts. Experience always is invaluable and one of the things money can never buy.
Anyways these failures have made me sad and was disappointed some time. But really they have also made me more aware and forced me to work more hard which will probably
help my own cause. It's unfortunate but some people need a pat on their back and some a kick, I fall in the second category most of the times and hope I can improve it.
Although the post is more melancholy, in reality I still have been enjoying these days and tried my hand at fishing for first time and had a good time. I may not know much but I know that It is important that I give my best and keep working hard in whatever I do...whether in state of failure or success..really does not matter...at least to my conscience.Of course keep enjoying along these times and find time for some other thinga which I love. Signing out..

Thanks to my procrastination this is after a long time I am blogging again. I am going to discuss few of my recent events.
Starting with Cricket tournament unfortunately we lost in the Semi-Finals but have to admit were beaten by a better team. I think still we played really well and had our moments in tournament. Other teams even accused us of having to face relatively weak oppositions and making our way to semi-finals luckily. I would say in a way it was true but really nothing was our hands and evrytime we went out there we gave it our best. For other teams i would say stop whining and try and enjoy the game.
Personally I feel I bowled well..at least better than last years tournament..also was given more confidence by my team this time.I took 5 wickets and was probably the third highest wicket-taker till the finals. I bowled pretty badly in semis gave away 25 runs of 2 overs. I think when I try and analyze why we lost Semis it comes down probably that we were little intimidated and negative in our approach which did not help our cause. I wish I could have done things litl differently here and there but when I look back I am happy to have achieved something and played well most of the time.
Cricket is always been a passion for me and I felt at times I should give it less importance and concentrate more on studies(esp. back in engg days).So, this time round had no practice but just played the matches directly. Its been quite a memorable tournament nevertheless..I will remember the Quarter-finals we won on the last ball...To know more about the event you can visit here-

Cricket still remains religion in India and I think always will. But unfortunately match-fixing and other issues such as drugs have affected the game permanently.
I sincerely hope that cricket anywhere around the world is played with a relentless fighting Spirit and mainly for "Love of the game" and Pride of One's Country and for the millions of supporters who sacrifice important things to watch the game.
