Now, before you might be tempted to close the tab thinking that this might be just another one among the long chain of brain churning and philosophical articles I tend to write many a times, then I assure you that this shall put an end to all of its kind!
After five whole years of searching trying to find the magic spell of living life, the perfect solution I was so desperate to find, is still quite illusive. But I have found certain eye-opening facts which I thought I'd share with my friends without further adieu, as walking down this path any longer will only result in a worthless waste of time.
Now, whenever I finish writing an article, I always get the eerie feeling that something's missing. There are always some trailing doubts, some things which were about to be shot out but weren't, which give me a recurring notion of something left out, and offer me more food for thought! But this particular piece of text aims to clear all of that.
There is always so much to keep us occupied that we often find it difficult to get our minds off the bustling fast lane and concentrate on what's actually important. But I've finally figured out the answer to all my queries. This might sound a little annoying to people expecting something extra-ordinary, but what dawned on me was a simple realization, that there is no magic spell, there never was and there never will be!...
I have pointlessly pondered upon certain aspects of the past long enough and have finally decided to learn from it and move on. Instead of complaining and whining about how tough it was, now I can finally come to terms with life. Living in college with colleagues from a myriad of different cultures and backgrounds, has taught me to appreciate how revealing life can be!...
The way some of us are placed right now is a privilege, and we should be grateful for it, instead of arrogantly taking everything for granted and exuding even more greed. I was off-track for a while and it took me quite some time to find my mojo, but some back-tracking has finally paid off and forever cleared my doubts.
Sometimes we need to stick to the things we believe in, irrespective of whether anyone else has faith in our goals and methods or not. Some sacrifices are necessary to serve a bigger purpose. Not all people will agree with you and some, quite frankly, won't be the least bit interested in looking at the world from your perspective. Some might like you, while a few might detest you, but one should always remember what his initial targets were. Our goals should remain unadulterated and shouldn't be modified by temporary roadblocks.
As for me, I'm living life completely by my own laws and don't regret anything I've done so far. I have played the game hard even when life seemed no better than a thorny impenetrable maze, with hounds chasing you down. It feels great to have overcome all those thick endless dark clouds which always shrouded the way ahead, achieving my childhood dream of becoming an IITian, and barging my way through all the impossibilities which stared me in the face.
My bluntness in saying this might be interpreted as cocky by some people, but I have found that many a times, its in our own interest to see things just the way they are. I've written quite a few articles on similar issues but this should serve as an ultimatum to sum it all up!...
As my best summer break ever comes to an end, it feels nice to cap it off with a family trip after three long and busy years. Having tried my hand at everything worthwhile the year before and with the director of Bharat Forge asking us if we would be interested in a future career in the company, after having successfully completed both the unique projects given to us in our intern, things can't look any better!
Of course, there are still a few minor issues that need to be addressed, like trying not to blow off steam when not at all required, and being like a precision guided missile when it comes to hitting the mark, which have to be gradually worked on! But, with the prospect of our careers looming large in the horizon, everything else from now on takes a backseat. Extra-currics, parties, personal issues and similar stuff lose their place to the forthcoming academic challenges. We have had enough of the former in the first two years of college and its time to get a little bit more serious and couscous about the latter.
The time for talking is over and our actions will be the only things which define us and decide our futures. So, carrying in mind all the fond memories of my friends and family and the inspiration obtained from my summer intern at BFL, I get ready to bid good bye to my hometown in the hopes of returning a winner, better than ever before, and wishing everyone else the same;
ALL THE BEST!!!...
&
BE THE FORCE!!!...
