Not all are genius

"Some people are born great, some become great, some have greatness thrust upon them." Some noble person said these lines, then what about the rest, are they not humans? don't they deserve some respect?. If only Einsteins and Newtons walked on this planet, they would not be as famous as they are. "I" am not great, not intelligent but am myself. Constantly being compared with some "intellectual" group of people, not recognizing my ability and perpetually being degraded is what i have experienced throughout my life. "See how well he scores in exams", " He is the top of your class, why can't you be?", "Why don't you get good marks like her?". Sometimes i ask myself "Why am i still alive?". I have my own interests and abilities "why don't you understand that?" I ask you all "Why didn't you let me study what i wanted?". I may not a genius or an intellect, but I am what I am. Throughout my life I have lived to fulfill your dreams and your aspirations. When do i live for myself?. I am not good at what others are, for you i may be a no-one but for me i am someone struggling to know what is best for me. "Stop comparing and start recognizing" then i may seem someone to you.

These lines are frustrations put on paper and not mere words. If this blog does not connect anyone of you, then I may be one of a kind. But if it connects to even any one of you, I say one line "Follow your heart not others words."

The green suitcase

"....while you are going to Pune take all your luggage in three bags, we have one bag, buy one more and the big green suitcase can hold most of your luggage", my dad told me this a week ago before i was going to pune to do my MBA. All this striked me one day in the third semester during the mid-terms as i was staring the green suitcase remembering about my parents, my brother, Hyderabad and how much i missed all of them. We purchased the suitcase while i was in my 9th grade may be January 2001 while my dad and mom planned for a vacation in Delhi and surroundings. My parents got their LTC and were very enthusiastic about the vacation. So a week before our travel, dad got the green suitcase, a big spacious one with wheels below and clips on the top and a locking system (which we never used till now). We were all geared up, when suddenly there was a major autorikshaw strike in Hyderabad and we had to catch the train early in the morning at 5:30. Finally on the day we got o...

A glimpse into my future

...........or atleast that's what I thought it was. It was again a dull Tuesday Morning and I was waiting to get X-rayed, I was getting a few tests done and one of the tests included this one. Just a few minutes ago I just had my blood samples collected in three different tubes at which time I asked the lady "Will it hurt a lot?" and I am very sure she laughed behind her surgical mask. After the blood samples, she pushed a small plastic container on the wooden desk towards me and asked me to get it filled with my watery waste and I promise there is nothing more humiliating than carrying the filled container all the way towards the end of hallway with people on either side. As I sat waiting to be called inside the X-ray Room, I heard a low dry cough and when I looked to my left there was an old man about 70 years or more, his skin was drooping, especially his cheeks. The drooping and the skin of his colour reminded me of a South Indian sweet dish. He was o...

Tuesdays...

"Many consider Tuesdays very unauspicious but to me, they were the most wonderful days in a week"- This was three years ago in my Engineering first year. Want to know why? coz i had my EDC Lab and someone very cute and pretty would sit next to me as my lab partner(..can't reveal her name). Hmm...as soon as Sunday would start three words would go round in my mind "day after tomorrow".After a long Monday(..i hate Mondays), Tuesdays would seem very short. Getting ready for college on the big day(every Tuesdays),I would start thinking about how to talk to her and make her smile. That day i wouldn't miss the college at any cost. Sitting in the bus i would be lost in thoughts, recollecting some funny quotes i would scribble in my lab notes trying to impress her. Entering into the class i would look for her and just her glance would make my day(..in fact, the whole week) with a big smile on my face i would go to the last bench and keep looking at her. ...
