If i were foolish enough to give you a system and if you were foolish enough to follow it, you would merely be copying, imitating, conforming, accepting,
and when you do that you have set up in yourself the authority of another and
hence, there is conflict between you and that authority. So you will lead a double life between the ideology of the system and the actuality of your daily existence. In trying to conform to the ideology, you suppress yourself whereas what is actually true is not the ideology but what you are. If you try to study yourself according to another, you will always remain a second-hand human being.
“Of all the things you can lost your heart to, an idea
is the most obstinate. It will set your heart aflutter with whispers of success
and riches. It will share your bed, your shower, your desk. It will sit next to
you at dinner. Some learn to ignore it. Some learn to love it. People call them
entrepreneurs.” ~ ‘Start Up’

She is black pearl, Great partner. I love her company more in winter and rainy season with her hotness. And her redolence grappled my mind and heart when i held her in my palm at the very first time. Days without her are very rare these days.
Of course every time i meet her she make me lighter ;) (Pocket empty).Never knew till date how i slip with her and flow...!!!
When I got down from auto, she ran to me hugged me like anything and kissed me everywhere. I really enjoyed being loved by her. However, when I stepped inside in home with her I felt she’s not feeling well and comfort. Her eyes were dull and perplexed with water. When I asked in home, all told me that she’s not taking food also properly from the past one week. I just started to observe her instincts and behaviour, as she can’t speak directly to anybody. Yes, am talking about Pinky. She’s so sweet and georgeous with her sizzling eyes moreover lovely. After two days I took her to hospital and she’s going through high fever and skin infection near neck. She’s scared a lot for medical prescription and injection.
Some how dada and I managed her to take injection and by the end of that, she tried to run to home escpaing from us. I took her in lap and she relaxed. When she recoverd and relaxed she returned her gratitude through her eyes only which I personally felt.
Meanwhile I went to our usual place evening with friends, Rukmini jumped to me, and holded my hands and I cuddled her up. I regularly give her sweets when I go out with friends to that circle. And my friend told Champa died. I felt bad. She was black and too beautiful whereas Rukmini is brownish white and perfect. I felt bad I didn’t even see champa from the past three months and she’s ill when I met her last time with bandages and dressing to her legs and waist. Both champa and rukmini were good friends. To dada and me, they used to drop us midnight to our old home and even if somebody touches our bikes and belongings, they used to take care of them by warning them with their canines and stridy jump. Now rukmini is alone in circle with great loss of her best mate in life- champa.
These are all my pets. Of course, late.Champa and rukmini are my friends too (stray dogs). I never call them dog and I get angry if some body calls them so even though they are stray dogs. Dada and I have great attachment with them. Of course, my pinky is too witty and clever which helped to find our kitten when she lost while coming to new home and pinky managed to convince her to bring her back to new home. This was most stunning moment in my life with dumb creatures on earth. Really they are not dumb one who has heart and feelings over other things can feel it their own. Even human beings do not love, care, and concern towards their blood relations, neighbors and friends. ;?
Student Life in Hostels is incomplete without bucket stories (tooth-paste, washing powder and soaps, of course slippers who will forget) so here is my bucket story :)
We all are choosy and love all our little things from brush to the choice of shoes and socks we wear :)
At times, these things identify you in the midst of the crowd. I am sure, over the years friends have remember you for the way you had your hair-style, your dress code, the way you kept that pen in the pocket, or the way you answered the in the class room and the sign you had put in registrar.
So I had this "attachment" to my little material world at hostel to the lovely bubbly bucket ;)
I bought one small bucket when I entered hostel, small blue with white strips. That became Lovely Bucket - My companion. After that all my senior friends were leaving because of finishing their academic course. They all came to my room and kept all their belongings along with buckets, beds and some more luggage’s which they wanted to take them afterwards. Yes! For them my room became cloak-room. That time in my room nearly 10 buckets including my cute bubbly blue piggy bucket. After few days they came back and collected their things and left all buckets in my room only and said that we can use them. It’s like ancestors left you some property and advice you to make best use of them ;)
Now my eyes were battering on them thinking what to do with all these buckets. So, I asked my many friends do you have bucket. If no they can take from my room except piggy blue bubbly yes I have attachments with my things. And for another two, I suggested few friends to take bucket and use them as dust bin like me as they never had. Two three were taken by friends and now seven. So again I got work to settle them. Totally five sent out and five still in room. Now come to the point, about this piggy bucket – my companion. When I began hunting my bucket in hostel as somebody took when me and room-mate were in asleep till morning 10.30. I thought some of my friends only took to wash clothes like all the time. And I asked many but none said they took. I started worrying who took my bubbly bucket.. ??? I kept my two soaps with cases in that only. Whole day I called to many of my friends just to know who had taken. So I got that some MCA students stole it as they were vacating hostel and kept in cloak-room. I even searched that in vain, didn’t get. One day over I have not taken bath without that as no soaps also there only pancha-mukhi snanam ;) The very next day my room-mate came from bathroom and told me Umya le your bucket is there with one MCA guy who is washing clothes. I ran to bath-room and gathered my courage to ask him when I saw blue bubbly with that guy. Yes I think you need courage to ask about the thing which you lost and the same you find with somebody else. I was not a quitter in such matters. Finally I asked him – Excuse me whose bucket is this??? He replied it’s my friend’s and I told him to call there. He went and brought him. Three people came; I scared little whether they are going to quarrel with me. Now I said him this is my bucket lifting that and checking that yes it was unique. And his friend said I have no idea from where this bucket came and somebody left in my room. :?
I got more courage when he said so.. No problems but somebody have taken my bucket with soaps and this is exactly feels like mine only. Then they told you can take this anyhow we are vacating hostel as if he’s gifting me. I said my entire bucket story and I was not for bucket but for the soaps and soap-case without requesting me somebody took. And they all were laughing bucket ok why soaps. I reached my room and after some time that washer MCA student came and returned my BUBBLY BLUE piggy BUCKET. Smile beamed in my face.
And then my room-mate started singing … umyan bucket hoyto Dum Dum Dum .. matte bucket sikto Dum Dum Dum.. adre soap hoyto Dum Dum Dum.. (Umya lost his bucket Dum Dum Dum.. got it back after one day Dum Dum Dum.. but lost his soaps Dum Dum Dum…)
We together laughed... Tell me to whom I have to ask that saffron mug and my soaps…!!! Because without mug bubbly will be of no use like lost love… ;) Yes... The hunt begins again …. ;)
Really I myself feel very dispirited to give you this message. Please just tell me what you people do when you are the victim or eye witness to such incidents.I still remember, I was the one who and when noticed such incident and warned one big giant who was trying to misbehave with one lady even without her notice.That time I held his hand told one more person that he’s misbehaving when it was very dark and no lights in bus. Then that person warned that giant brute to behave properly and reminded him that he’s traveling in a bus. I told this to elder as I was primary school boy that time and felt I alone can’t able to manage that stupid person. If now I see I don’t know what I will do with them. Please..! One should give respect to women, don’t know such people how they live and what their ambience is. At least one should remember their mothers/sisters/wives/daughters/children before committing such blunders. After that I heard many such felonious incidents from friends and relatives so better I thought to pen down and try to give this awareness to my friends and fellows and all women kind.
This I want to dedicate for all my friends and all girls and women kind. Please when you are traveling alone, do take care of yourself and try to follow the below points...
1. Don’t get into conversation unless you feel comfort and he/they (unknown) seems to be gentlemen or good.
2. Carry mobile and talk with your family, friends or relatives if unknown person is sitting with you and staring at you.
3. In case of emergency keep dialed near friends or family in case of worst dial police station.
4. Directly tell your drivers to stop else tell your conductors to change your seat or his/their seat if getting hurt or trouble with co-passenger.
5. Keep pins to remind them when they try to misbehave.
6. Never hesitate to scold them in case of awkward behaviors and public can hear and notice that what he/they are making trouble you.
7. If you hesitate then you only have to bear all the bad things which are going to happen to you.
8. It’s never wrong to show people and punish who is committing mistakes and forgetting humanity values at the time of journey taking advantage of loneliness of girls/ladies/women by misbehaving with them.
9. If you are courageous never stop yourself to hit him/them in public also.
10. In case you only have to travel try to make your journey early in the morning or day time and never let it be evening or night.
Just last week I had seen one movie recommended by friend ‘Kerala Cafe’ which has ten small stories and in that one story “HAPPY JOURNEY” came out of the frame very nicely, how one college girl escapes from such a rouge during her journey alone. Watch it if you get a chance.
And if you have any more advices and suggestions just drop them here…..till then happy and safe journey ...
