Day Dreaming

Life and Evolution...

I was thinking the other day about blogging and really it should help to realize a few things about me and also in a way if I could span out something interesting and thought-provoking it would really be great.
The post is more about evolution of oneself through course of life and will try and analyze mine if there has been any?? : P...I feel it is very important that we evolve and change constantly mostly for benefit of us and at times even others. There are various rates however, and I guess some people mature very early and some late...
When back in school I was to be bullied quite often and made of fun of at times...probably there were few others who were made more fun of but i was certainly at times one of the bakras...and being introverted and staying at home does not help the cause….seems bad when I think of it...people usually have good memories and say their school day were the golden days..I would not say that but it was not hell either and did have good times...esp. when I got talking and mixing up with everyone during 9th and 10th...when I think of it now I think I handled it pretty well…some people don’t!!....and really the important thing was never took the mocking and embarrassments too seriously…
Then in college and engineering days I feel had lot more fun and really can’t think of much embarrassments...here are there a few maybe: P...but was more or less on the other side..back in school I thought it would be good to be with the less studious people and sit on back benches and pass comments…So in college I did try to emulate them and even in egg….until B.E I realised that pretending to be someone is never going to help….and got back to studying a little more seriously…its quite true as they say-
“The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence…”
Now here in US doing my master’s I have actually done both been active in extracurricular activates and also studying…I remember back in school I was to find every possible reason to not be a part of any extra activities and chicken out every time…these two years I have learned a lot….more than what I did in past 18 years..And went wrong at times….made some mistake…had failures…sometimes tasted success…but really if you plot a graph of my growth last few years it should be exponential…I remember from Spiderman when Spidey’s Uncle Ben says-
“These are the years you turn into the person you will be in future. So, be careful what you turn into…”
I am “Gemini” according to these they say we got dual personalities…if I think of it may be true…But I don’t believe in astrology and all anyways…I feel it’s very important that we do things which we like doing and also at times things that we may be scared of and never imagine...just once at least...Signing out for now…will end with this Einstein’s quote which I feel is important that we understand in today’s world...
“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value” – Albert Einstein

Life and Jobs...

Hey Guyz back with another post and will try and discuss my view on On Campus jobs in UHCL.
I got a new On Campus job as a Student worker in the Labs. I was hoping to get it as I had a good Interview. But as there were so many applicants never was sure about it. So I am actually a little relieved now and can concentrate more easily on few other things. I really wanted this job...I know its not a big deal getting an on campus job but really when you work hard for something and get it its always very nice and rewarding. But you need to give it your best and work relentless in achieving it..As in The Alchemist the King says...
"When you really want something the whole universe conspires in helping you achieve it"
Well..I heard this in movie "Accepted" the fake principal says the purpose of education is to find a "good job". It still is so true if you think about it..all your education and all those grades so far were really towards finding a good job. I will be graduating this semester and don't have job yet..will keep on applying though...but with my profile and recession...it's going to be difficult...
To me a good job is one which interests me if not all the time..at least frequently enough...and at the same time pays me reasonably well..funny its quite difficult to find that combination...probably impossible...In fact most of the people would love a job that pays them heavily and the work does not really matter.. at times they try and develop interest in it..which works at times..sometimes people just hate what they are doing...and want all the time to do something that really appeals to them...but are not willing to sacrifice on the money.. :)..It's really something that I can go on talking..
But finally its up to each one of us what we choose....addiction to money although no one may think is the most difficult one...I probably have not done a good job at expressing my thoughts...the post seems a little digressing..So would like to end it on more focused view.....

Money is important..playing safe is also important...but one should not be motivated only by it..After a point I guess at least in life when we have a solid base I guess :)...We can move out of the flock and may be stop being safe for a while and take a few risks...follow the omens as they say(The Alchemist)...funny but I feel we should be still safe before trying anything new..that’s where I probably fail...anyway...will stop now...will try and write a little more focused with my new posts..
