I often wonder,why we need to have reservations for admissions in colleges.This has been a topic in many of the group discussions and debates and still there’s nothing that has happened. If a student has the talent,he will study well.Why reservations? These reservations were made during Ambedkar’s times for good causes. Now all those causes having died,the election benefactor reservation alone remains behind.It’s such a pity that many really talented people don’t get what they are entitled to,because of this.I got this college and course with a not-much cut-off of 276.something because of my quota reservation.My friend who was 277.something couldn’t even come near my college because he was categorized as forward class. At that time,I was not actually aware of this affecting so many people.Even if I had known,there wouldn’t have been much that I could have done.This reservation stuff and management seats in colleges and making education a business is disgusting.I feel there is no need for a student to buy his/her admission into college if he/she is really very interested in studying and hence no need for these reservations. Also,I think those who study just for the sake of completing UG,for the name of it don’t deserve the degree in the first place.Also it leads to the rapidly increasing number of engineering colleges in the state.When do we see a change? The question is hanging in mid-air.

After knowing many of my fellows’ opinion on religion and god,I am tempted to discuss my thoughts.This might turn out to be confusing,because I am confused about the existence of God as in real existence terms.Does this make me an Agnostic? Whatever..I don’t think that God is somewhere out there holding all the strings of life and happenings together.Does this make me an Atheist? O.K. Now to the point,as for me,life is a string of incidents based more on Newton’s III law.Our actions determine what we are going to face.Everyone would have had experiences to prove this fact. Still,they talk of god deciding punishments for each living cell on earth.Oh,Come on people,We have studied science which proves the life’s existence and purposes. This leads to the questions that pin point certain incidents that are too good to be mere coincidence. Yup,I accept,but what’s life without some miracles? So,I don’t know if God is there on not,but I don’t appreciate idol worship,many-god theory,religious chaos in name of God and so on.What I am saying is,have your own opinions,whatever they are.However,do not expect others to have or support the same.This goes mainly to the elder generation who expect their children to believe what they believe,though they do not have solid reasons for their belief. It’s a pity that they believe what they have been taught to believe.As for me,God may even exist as that science that explains all these issues.I don’t mind.But,I mind when this issue is being used to force others to do something or to divide the country or to enhance terrorism…………. The list goes on.People,let these change at least in our lives.
Hi people,
Had a tough day @ office today.Nothing special to blog about.However, random thoughts are flashing through my mind like a multi-coloured string. So I think I gotta try hard to maintain the coherence and you gotta try hard to bear with me 😛
1.Yesterday was Sachin’s day and he was all over twitter,facebook,blogs,Gbuzz and what not… Strangely, I felt out of place. The reason being the fact that I can’t appreciate cricket as much as many do. There had been and still are times when I had been crazy about cricket (Note:Only if India played). The day before my last 10th public examination was the finals of a close ODI match between India and Pakistan. From that day to this one, I don’t know anything technical about the cricket rules and stuff. All I know is India wins or loses. I never even got interested in the game if India is not playing.I cannot logically offer reasons for what I feel. I appreciate the players and all that stuff. Still…… So, I can understand that it’s a combination of players’ achievement and the country winning,but sadly, the former part fades out of my mind most of the times. It’s been a while since I stopped or rather I lost touch of matches even when India plays.No specific reason,though. With all the hype that came up yesterday, I can’t help getting that old crazy feeling.However,”Only if India plays….” still stands. Hats off to Sachin though all I know is he won India another match and I am and will be a fan of him for that.
2.The second erratic thought of mine is totally incoherent with the former. It is the fact that how people cannot forget bitter things though they fully forgive the person who caused it. This has been going on in my mind for a while. It’s true that human memory is a double-edged sword. Pleasant memories are not a problem. However,we simply cannot forget how we were hurt or exactly by what words were we hurt and the like. I often wish that if it’s possible for us to forget things that we really want to forget,though I know it would never work that way.
3.I have a problem in decision-making. Though I may have appeared to be decisive and steady to many persons,I frankly confess that I am not. I often regret things after I decide on it and when am halfway through it. This might happen to anyone,but,I found this pattern repeating in my life till last month.After much self-analysis or something of that sort,I have made some improvement in this issue. I don’t think it is much to be proud about,yet I feel happy about at least being able to think about this and try to sort it out. Hoping that I should be making a constant progress in the positive direction. 🙂 Also,suggestions from great decision makers are most welcome 🙂
4.This one is just a rant. I am tired of politicians running the media and accusing each other to cover up their own blunders.When is it going to be the time,when you could listen to the news without hearing “X did this and Y did this and so on…” When is it going to be the time when people are entitled to unbiased news on all media,not only in Doordharshan. I know this is one thing that is gonna be a rant for long,still I cant help complaining.
Started blogging today just to kill time,but am feeling better that I got these thoughts off my mind-train. Now that the traffic is lesser,gonna cheer up for the better.
See you,fellas. Until Later 🙂
This is a love poetry written by my friend.This is one piece which has affected me the most, of all that I have read..
உன் கண்ணில் நீர் வழிந்தால் என் உதிரத்தில் இனிமை கலக்குதடி,
காதலி துயருற இனிமை காண்பவன் மனிதனல்ல, மிருகம் என்போருக்கு
எப்படி தெரியும் என் இனிமை என் விஷம் என்று?

I got a bit philosophical… So people who aren’t interested,please bear with me.In this duration of my life at Bangalore,I got quite a different perspective about life.I used to think that Life would be good if only,I have all the time to watch movies,be without worries about future.My life at PG proved that to be wrong.What we yearn for at one moment does not remain the same for long.I think Life is simple,it’s just not easy.When you think you have done something,a new problem arises to remind you that “This too will pass”.An interesting quote that I read recently-“Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night.” 🙂 Some say “Destiny”,Some say “Luck”,Some say “Hard work” and I say ” A combination of everything”.Life is not something we can control,but we can control how we look at it. A good friend of mine will always say-“You always have 2 choices:Either you fret over your troubles or you get over them and win.What you choose decides the outcome.” Sensible na? However,again,this seems easy,but difficult to apply(I have tried it and failed till now :P) So people,what do you think of life?If you don’t mind,give me some interesting opinions of yours.
That’s me
