The Concept of a Hero!

I felt like writing about a hero today mainly because of the Operatinal Behaviour exam tomorrow. Somehow this subject drives you into the "Pravachan" mode. So kindly bear with me and lets see how this one goes.                                  
                                                 Since the beginning of civilization some men  have stood above the others. In some cases it has been due to wealth and in some others it has been due to ability. But among those ,the ones who have had their names written into the pages of history have been the ones who have inspired and hence been masters of millions of hearts.
A Hero has a million definitions and the word means something very different to each individual.
A Superman for the weak, a Batman for the realists and an Iron Man for a few laughs,a Hero has many adaptations.
A hero gives meaning to your ambitions, security to your dreams and most importantly sets before you a benchmark of what you perceive to be an ideal individual.
Hero's sketched overnight don't last long. The reason is simple-the foundations are too weak. This concept like Inception needs time to settle into your mind and heart .
My definition of a hero is someone who has been able to inspire and create an aura of simplicity whilst doing the same. People like Abdul Kalam , Abraham Lincoln ,Roger Federer and yes , Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar have all done just that. Not only have they inspired multiple generations but also have been an epitome of simplicity and classiness.
We draw inspiration from what our heroes have achieved but what do we do next???Switch off and move on to the next entertaining topic. I would like to leave you with this thought- Pause for a second, the second's up but ponder for a second and great things could come to your doorstep. Cheers!!!!

Crazy times!!!

I am having the most insane of times .A B-school is not a place for lazy people and if one from the said species does end up here ,he/she can be rest assured that every last bit of laziness will be sucked out instantly.

Its been a month now but i still am in my first week...The first impressions,the thrills of a new place and most importantly the mysterious rules and traditions of a B-school,everything has happened so fast . And before you know it ,we are half way through the first term. 

It sure is an experience to behold...the campus never sleeps.. 3 am becomes just a number on the clock.You could not care less about the time because if you do ,you truly are screwed my boy!!!! 

The ironic part is just a month back i used to sleep for 10 hours a day and now thats the sum total i get in a week. Miss my cozy bed,but then again cant complain much as my stay here at XIMB has just been so great that the heart screams out-I AM WHERE I WAS MEANT TO BE!!!!

Looking forward to even longer,crazier and stressful hours....lets see how much i can stretch this lazy body of mine !!

Anger!!

Of the many expressive emotions a creature possesses anger sure is the most entertaining one.I prefer going with the word "ENTERTAINING" and not "EVIL" for the simple reason that we do have to look at this sentiment from a third person's perspective too...trust me..sometimes its real fun!!
Anger is transferable,shortlived,accumulative and in very rare cases compressible...
There have been countless books and articles written on anger management and each one has their own view...but to do so is easier said than done.for me anger sure is a close buddy...responds very quickly without fail every time it is called.(Loyal Git!!)
May it be your favourite athlete dissapointing you or your sis irritating the hell out out of you, anger sure manifests itself in interesting ways.sometimes i thank my stars for the existence of my saviour -"MY SUBCONSCIOUS"..Or i would have had criminal complaints against me for the use of such elaborate areas of vocab..
I have tried counting backwards,thinking of a happy place and the so called icy wind picturisation...all these things ever do are, fuel the burning fire within me and makes me burn my happy place...So here i am blogging.hopefully this should help...
And last but not the least spare a thought for the victim of this prolonged subduction....boy oh boy....He/she sure gets a earful...such a pitiable condition but then again a perfect example of wrong plac at the wrong time ...God bless him!! Adios!! :)

Rains!!!

I believed this phenomenon to be the most cursed climatic scenarios mankind faced when i was 10 as it constantly kept me indoors and used to eat up my summer vacations...The common line of the day was "Rain Rain go away..Avinash wants to play today!!!". But over the years it sure has found a special place and why wouldn't it,given I have become so lazy that i actually appreciate virtual movements to real ones ...Heights of laziness truly ...!!! Also when you live in a double bedded furnace the rain just about provides the heavenly experience you crave..
The rains at manipal provide an overdose of rains though.You have to literally have your umbrellas open at all times as it hardly takes 5 seconds for the heavens to pour down from a scenario, any weather reporter would tell you.."it aint gonna rain today".The suspense factor though thrilling at times ,more often than not leads to people calling out to mothers and sisters of an unknown entity.The season is also very good for enhancing your theft skills as the umbrellas just keep flowing from one hand to the other .It actually gets so crazy that you will find a guy carrying a pink barbie umbrella and when asked says -"are yaar ye toh behen ka hai..ghar se laya hun" and ya i do believe him!!!!
the rains have made their way into manipal and we sure are in for an awesome endsem!!! :)

Facebook!!

This F word has been the most destructive of all...10 years hence mummy's will tell there kids..."no using the f word..." and it would most definitely refer to this 25 billion investment.
It has been one of those things that has proved to be the most lethal self destructive weapon.sure it helps you get in touch with friends you have lost touch with..but if it were a medicine to be approved it sure would have provoke the authorities to penalise zuckerberg...Boy oh Boy that man sure has unleashed the most poisonous monster ever.(though it still is a modified clone in all trueness).
I personally have become an addict and these days do things and think about how it would look on fb..sad life seriously... :( ...Photos have lost their originality and people have grasped another tool which has made them look even more artificial..
Its funny how easy it is to get to people...You tell them the world is about to end and they will check out the article only when they have nothing else to do...but you tell them he/she has been tagged in the classroom hottie's profile it dosent take them more than 3 clicks to get to the bottom of this heartraising issue ....
was just wondering how often we exchange pleasentaries because of Fb....just ponder over this...who in their right mind would ask someone 4 times a day about wats going on in their lyf(unless ofcourse we r talking about the extremely nauseating couple conversations)..just goes to show that even if we are the least bit interested in what the other person is doing we just have to reassure ourselves that we are having a good time thus making this little devil the ultimate winner in each and every scenario...
I have taken countless vows to keep Fb out of my life but the density of the vow sure has taken a downward flight over the last few months...need to keep this monster out of my life.....please let me know of a solution if there is one :)

World Cup!!!

I was 6 when this phenomenon first registered itself on my tiny brain.The intensity of the storm sure has risen over the years but the source still remains immovable.each edition has had its time...Be it Jaysuriya blazing away in 96' or sachin's mastery in 03' the world has been treated to something special every time.But the 2011 edition was something else for me.Never had any sporting event created such unrest in my life..With the advent of websites like cricinfo and cricbuzz my life revolved around a 14 inch screen which sometimes gave me the feeling i was drugged heavily .
But what the 42 day entertainer has done is give me a serious overdose.Right from Fb statuses to article updates life's been all about cricket.It drove me to such lengths that i even started folllowing a zimbabwe vs canada match ball by ball...but i guess all the madness has been well rewarded...the pure joy we experienced on the 2nd of April gave me the feeling "It was all worth it.".. so now its time for rehab.no more cricket and defitely no more fantasy cricket(boy !!that sure was something :) ) ...
