Am I happy...?

Whenever I feel disturbed and feeling sad about something I used to ask myself. "am I happy?". This may sound crazy, but I then start list all the things I have to be happy about. And the number always exceeds the things that make me feel bad. It is just like this..

  I should be happy because.....

• I have no physical ailment even though everyone says I am too..lean and weak and unhealthy. In my opinion, to be healthy doesn't mean that you have to be fatty, it is just the condition with out any illness.
• I have a decent paying Job, which I am passionate about doing ever since I am a student.
• I have a good family- my parents, siblings, and my love, even though there are some problems sometimes. We patch up all the times.!! :)
• I have the world's best friends..-Lucky me :)
• I have enough freedom to do anything at my will. Thanks to my parents.

..................................................................................... there can be many more persons who don't even get any one of the blessings I have got. Its not at all my own credit. I know that. and, I am thankful to him for all that I have now. God Almighty..

     Then,the current sadness will be washed away very soon realizing I have no time to be sad..as I have a lot more to be happy.. :) :)

   Friends,   "Are you happy...?"

Seeking our own help

            We all have good and bad times. Is n’t it? Most of the people think that, they can lean on someone [may be it is family, friends or any one close] to get over their bad times. And are they satisfied? Do they always get the relief they needed? I think NO. If anyone thinks that, they can depend on some other person for their problems, and got it solved completely, and then I should say ‘there is a terrible mistake my dear friends’. It’s true that, somebody can give advice or suggest any solution. But, that alone cannot solve any issue most of the time.. The person who can help us ultimately is our own self. Nobody else better know us. Nobody else know what we need really. To know what we really need, we should listen to our heart. And if we depend on others for every solutions, we are not completely hearing what our heart says, Instead we are allowing others to decide what we need. Obviously, that cannot make our cup full. Sometimes, the person we are expecting to help us may not be ready at the time needed. Then things may look like more complicated, and we may get more and more depressed. So, we can depend on our all-time friend. None other than our own self.

            Listen to our heart, believe in ourselves, then nothing will be left without a solution...

"How to handle life's affairs"

Blogathon- Count down # 24

  This is a very busy post -  Now, I am with my students for an industrial visit(I.V). so you can understand, how busy I may be and how I can make a new post. But, I have something interesting for you today..


I asked myself how to handle life's affairs: My room gave me perfect answer;

 Roof said            : Aim high
Fan                     : Be cool
Clock                 :Value time 
Calender            : Be up to date
Wallet                :Save now for future
Mirror                : Observe yourself
Wall                   : Share others load
Window             : Expand the vision
Floor                  : Always be down to earth


  What do you think my friends?

FDP program.

   

     I am talking about FDP (Faculty Development Program) in our college.

     From  the very first day, I have found out  some amazing things in  our college. One of them is this FDP, conducted  everyday @ 2pm. To  improve the communication skills of the faculty, and to make them confident on a stage, the college authorities planned to  conduct seminars by every faculty members. The topics can be anything under the sun, usually general topics. But the technical topics can also be taken but make sure  that, we are not going so deep in to technical; so that every  faculty get benefit from this. The audiences were  not only from the Engineering Department, but also from MCA and MBA department in our college.

      On my first day @ college, I got a chance to attend the FDP , which consisted of two classes by two of  my colleagues. The classes were really interesting, and  I appreciated this idea  of FDP.

    After each classes, there was interactive sessions in which all faculties are supposed to say something, any comments or questions. The senior faculties  take  part in it very actively, but the juniors are not that much  relaxed. I had  found out some of my friends sitting near me being tensed, worrying about, who will be called next. Actually the thing is that, when nobody is coming forward to comment on the session, then principal Mam will call somebody very randomly, to come forward and speak. This is a terrible situation to everyone, I can see from their expressions.

    ‘Thank God’.. I have escaped that time. But, me also became scared, on thinking about the session the next day. The seminar hall was a huge hall, air conditioned, having cushioned seats. The lights will be turned off before starting the show, just like  in a movie theatre. The difference is that, here we are making the show. We are taking part in the show. Whole of the ambience make every one tensed a little. Me also got it ..

     And  one day I also had to take my seminar ..I will tell that story later..

Returning back

06-06-2012, Wednesday

I have entered the new phase of my life....

    

I have  joined   in a college  today. Not as a student, but as a college  professor..Assistant  professor  in an engineering college..

    

  One  of  my greatest wishes is to become a good teacher. And, now me on  the  step-1, of the ladder. I’m so..happy, and so.. excited..and a bit  tensed too..

  

 The college is excellent in its infrastructure and facilities.. we  got a  good leader as our principal mam. And  from the very first day I got introduced to every faculty in every department.

         Nothing more to say now.. we will meet often..

    

      So..good luck to me and everyone......

Choosing the right path..

“Two roads diverged in a wood,
And I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference”
(I dont own these lines above)


So, what I want to tell is that ,


If we want to achieve something special, want to be different from others, want to make your own signature in your field, then try to choose the less traveled path. We may face new things, new challenges, but at the end, there will be our destiny. ..the thing we always wished for.. So, never be afraid of choosing a path that is different from others…That may make a difference.. a better one..
