DIARY PAGE OF AN IIT ASPIRANT

Dear Diary,

The results for Jee Preparatory Tests were announced today. My rank was 5381 in a test taken by 60000 students all over India, making my percentile score 91.
I thought it was pretty good, till the guy who sat next with me today told me that his percentile was 98 and that I am just one among the useless crowd. I mean , who the hell is he? ,and, What the fuck does he think of himself? Today was the first time i met him in these 5 months in my batch. Thats the thing, unlike school , people here don't want you to succeed, your bench mate changes everyday, and he is an asshole to you and you are an asshole to him, just like all previous days and all previous bench mates.

May be he was right, may be I'm not supposed to make it, but i don't think shit for him, chutiya sala!!

Even the teachers are concerned with the 98 percentilers , we are all the crowd that pays them big money in hope we can make it somewhere. I scored 91.2 % in twelfth studying my ass out, was a 98.3 percentiler in All India level, but still couldn't get to a decent DU college, because according to them , i wasn't good enough. 

Even the mess is not a place where you can eat in peace, there are always chattering sounds of students discussing some impossible question of Irodov, or a concept regarding Lebinitz theorem in ML Khanna. My flatmate, an  aieee aspirant asked me a question today in the mess, and i solved it just like that, to which the guy in front of me said- "It took you 45 seconds to solve such an easy question, you are on the wrong path dude."

Well, guess what asshole, I may be on the wrong path but i ain't a dickhead like you , pulling down other people.

The thing is I am scared, am scared to death whether I'll make it, Dad has already invested a lot in me. He is supportive , but I am embarrassed.
I just wish these 10 months of coaching get over soon so I can go back home.
Its a mean world, these self proclaimed geniuses scare me even when there are a hundred things I am better at than them, but those things just don't count in the world I am currently living in.   

Even the dreams have become nightmares for past 5 months. It seems as if God is also enjoying this just like other laughing pricks. I wanna cry, shout, call for help, but these things don't help in the void I am currently in.

That's all for today. Thanks for listening, I feel much better.

Good night, at least you should have sweet dreams....


MUJHE SAMBHALE REHNA MAA


Sote hue kahin kho jata hun,
Chalta hun , jane kyun ruk jata hun,
Saham jata hun, ghabra jata hun,
Bhid mein kahin fir kho jata hun,
Rehna ab akele hi hai, janta hun,
Dil ko kaise samjahun , yehi sochta hun,
Toot ta nahi hun, bikharta nahi hun,
Teri khatir muskurata bhi hun...

Subah jagane se raat sulane tak, sab yad rakhta hun,
Kabhi gir jaun, to tujhe soch kar sambhal jata hun,
Har kahi-ankahi baat samajhti ho, janta hun,
Gusse mein bhi dant ti nahi ho, janta hun,
Duniya se bacahna chahti ho, seekh rha hun,
Har sham tujh se baat kar muskurata bhi hun,
Sari pareshani khatm hoti hai, jab tujhse milta hun,
Ek kadam teri or fir badhata hun...

Ungli hamesha pakde rehna , yehi chahta hun,
School ki tarah intezar karna , mein fir ata hun,
Koi bhi ho baat, har kadam tere sath , teri or badhata hun...




 



 

VO EK EHSAS



Har behta pal ek ehsas dilaye,
Ye dhalti sham fir ik armaan jagaye,
Patte pe os ki boond fir kuch kehna chahe,
Aur ye dil phir na sun na chahe...

Ek baat in hothon tak aye,
Fir andar sama jaye,
Ik raaz dil mein basa , ankhon se dikh jaye,
Sagar ki lehar, andar ek toofan jagaye,
Or tera muskurana use sahnt kar jaye...

Ye sama fir bahon mein ithlaye,
Nigahein fir badalon k par dekhna chahe,
Ek khushboo hawa mein terti, dil ki choo jaye
Par ehsas vo kya hai, ye samajh na aye...

Armano ka vo badal ik jhonke se ud jaye,
To ye raz dil kisi ko kya batlaye...

'AAP'- YOUR WIN

AAP-Aam Aadmi Party, probably the most newest party in the field of politics, took the Delhi elections by storm, as it demolished the reigns of two biggest parties in Indian poilitics, BJP (Bhartiya Janta Party) & INC (Indian National Congress). The former was considered to pose some fight for AAP but all were proved wrong as AAP completely dominated the elections, capturing 67 of the 70 seats on offer, leaving BJP to 3 and a Duck for Congress!!
This is considered as one of the biggest victories in the history of Indian Constitution.

AAP was considered doubtful in the start as because of it's small tint of mere 49 days when earlier appointed!! but in those days also, they were able able to spread their views and ideas among the public of Delhi. This is also considered as one of the major reasons for AAP to win the elections so convincingly. it shows  that the people of Delhi still have faith in Arvind Kejriwal and his party, that yes, they will bring a new revolution in Delhi.
Here are a few of visionary concepts put forward by the AAP on their website about their work, done and to be done:-

Corruption & Janlopkal - An Anti-corruption helpline was launched a few weeks back, encouraging the citizens to identify instances of corruption and report them to law enforcement. This has resulted in several officials being caught. More importantly, there is credible deterrence amongst the officials, which has brought about a decrease in the acts of corruption in the city. Moreover, the draft of Janlokpal is ready and will be presented for cabinet review this week. It will be brought as a bill in the assembly session in the coming days. 


Swaraj Bill - February is a critical month as far as critical legislations for the people of Delhi are concerned. In addition to the Delhi Janlokpal bill, the Swaraj bill is all set to be brought forward in the Delhi Assembly session in the coming days. 
Ending of VIP culture - The "VIP" culture, a legacy from the British Raj, has been abolished. No cars with red beacons, no special privileges for ministers are just some of the things that have been brought to a halt by the AAP govt. 


Electricity related issues - Prices upto the first 400 units of Electricity consumed have been slashed by half. A CAG audit, which the people have been demanding for months now, has finally been initiated to investigate the accounts & functioning of the discoms. Most importantly, independent agencies have been identified to investigate the cases of faulty/fast running electricity meters. People who face issues related to their electricity meters can approach their SDM's office and launch a complaint for getting the meters investigated. 


Water tariffs & distributions - 20 kilo litre of water has been made free for every household. We recognize that this is only a start and the benefit of water has to reach many more people. Work is going on towards achieving that. We are also working with the Delhi Jal board CEO to determine implementable ways of water conservation & harvesting. The order to move the DTC millennium depot from the banks of the Yamuna is one way of restoring the flood plains and encourage natural water conservation. Finally, the schedule of water tanker operations is now publicly available for the benefit of the citizens.


Working with the NGOs - Several NGO's have taken up the cause of the people and environments. Some of these are in the intrest of the people & the city. We have adopted a policy of working with such NGO's as opposed to engaging in legal battles. Ultimately, we need to bring all people & organizations, genuinely working for the betterment of the city together.


Nursery Admissions - have been a long standing problem for parents in Delhi. The Delhi govt. recently launched a helpline that encourages parents to report cases of wrong doing during the admissions processes. 


Contract workers - (As the time of writing this, the on-going protests by the contract workers have ended with people returning back to work). The Delhi Govt. is committed to the cause of people working on contracts and is well aware of the injustice suffered by them. The chief minister has met these workers on multiple occasions and has set up a committee to look into genuine grievances. The govt. has also ensured these workers that no jobs will be terminated until the recommendation of this committee are announced. This addressees the immediate concerns of the people and also provides time to the Govt. to look at a long term solution for the problem. 


Transportation - 5500 new permits have been issued for Auto rickshaws to commute in the NCR region. This will make traveling between Delhi and near-by NCR areas easier for people. Earlier, auto rickshaws were not permitted outside of the Delhi city limits. 
Social justice - The cabinet will meet next week to approve the recommendation of the formation of a SIT to review the cases of violence against the Sikh community in the 1984 riots. Right after that, this recommendation will be sent to the LG of Delhi who has already been briefed on the matter. 


On a good note, hope so that the party bring new hopes and ideas and lead to a national cause on a positive. My best wishes with AAP & Arvind Keriwal, the new C.M of Delhi.
Hope you do well, Sir!!

The Ruthless, Weirdo Peacemaker -- Ra's Al Ghul


THE DEMON'S HEAD - its the literal translation in Arabic of the name of one of the most feared super villain in the DC Universe - Ra's Al Ghul. Being more than 600 years old , only his name is enough to strike fears in the hearts of his enemies. 'A world is a better and peaceful place if it has no population' is the ideology of the guy who killed his first victim when he was only 11. As per the Arrow S03E09, Ra's Al Ghul felt pride in doing so. Now that is some scary pride a man's got.

Skilled in many forms of martial arts such as ninjitsu, jujitsu, etc. the guy is a complete criminal mastermind and is the one who trained Batman, thats an irony as Batman killed him in the DC Comics series BATMAN : DEMONS AND MAIDENS, because the former planned to dismantle the Gotham City. However , being a stubborn son of bitch who doesn't die easily, the 'peacemaker' returns to life in BATMAN : RESURRECTION OF RA'S AL GHUL.

But, saying that Ra's and Batman are pure enemies would not be correct, their relationship is somewhat like the relationship option in facebook - 'its complicated'

Ra's trained batman, taught him the science of strategic thinking, they both have mutual respect for each other as Ra's never refer to him as the Batman , but as detective for the latter's excellent deduction techniques, plus Ra's the grandfather of Damian Wayne, the child of Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul, the daughter of Ra's.
Strange, right? Told ya, its complicated.



Ra's have appeared in lot of other storylines, not just in Batman, but also in Superman and The Green Arrow.

Being more than six hundred years old, Ra's has had to revive his energy a lot of times for the preparation of combat, by the use of Lazarus Pit, reservoirs of rejuvenating chemicals that restore the dead and dying to life, these pits have granted him a lifespan of several centuries.


Abilities of Ra's Al Ghul:
  • Genius-Level Intellect: Ra's possesses a genius level intellect with aptitudes in a wide variety of sciences and medicine, particularly in the field of alchemy.
  • Leadership: He is the indisputable leader of the League of Assassins, one of the largest and most dangerous organizations of all time, whose agents are willing to sacrifice themselves for their master.
  • Master Strategist and Tactician: He is a brilliant tactician, planning his exploits many months even years in advance.
  • Master Swordsman
  • Master Martial Artist: expertise in at least 100 different fighting styles.
  • Medical Science
  • Multi-Lingual: He's able to speak Arabic, French, Greek, Latin, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, Japanese, Mandarin, Urdu, multiple Indian languages and possibly more.
  • Vast Resources: Over the centuries, Ra's has gained many international contacts and a vast fortune.
  • Weapon Master: He has more than two centuries of experience using old and modern weapons. When in combat he favors the old-world weapons such as katana, European swords, polearms, and axes.  

So , summarizing it , it would be safe to say that both the worlds, the DC Universe and the world as we know it are better of without the guys like Ra's Al Ghul.

But yea, he does add the element of surprise and increases the excitement level but trying to screw this superheroes life!!

Till next time, see ya!!

Road to World Cup--How Ready are We?


For others it's the occasion of Valentine's Day!!! But for us.."The Cricket Fanatics", it's the biggest tournament around. Yes, I'm talking about the world cup . It's where all the elite teams go head to head, battle toe to toe...just to win the ultimate prize. Nothing gets bigger than this.


INDIA- The defending champions...currently not on a good run. The performance has not up to the scratch as it was expected from the new breed of Indian talents. Neither the batting clicked nor was the bowling up to the potential. This led to many speculations about whether this team is capable of defending the title? Or to be more specifically, are we even capable of at least giving a fight to the other top teams in the tournament?? Can our team cope up with the pressure of such an intense and tough tournament??


Well on a positive note, the moral of the team is very good. In interviews with many of the team players it has been seen that they are feeling comfortable and are ready. Our "captain cool", MSD, also states that the teams was just trying out all of its combinations in the build up and says that theirs nothing to worry about and the team is in a good frame of mind and is in good shape.


Hope so, the team does well in the cricketing extravaganza which we are going to witness from 14th February. After all we are the reigning, defending champions!!! Let's cheer our team out and have faith in them... #bleedblue #won'tgiveitback #worldcup!!

SOME CRAZY UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT SUPERHEROES
