Whatsapp or Stressapp!!!

In today's fast moving world, the most common word amongst people is "Hey! Wassup?" The advent of technology has shrinked the world so much that a person sitting in one part of the world can instantly communicate with the other person sitting in another part of the world. Technology has grown like a virus and due to which many social networking devices has taken birth. The surprising thing is we are so used to the internet and working online that we are using almost all of the social networking applications like facebook, twitter, whatsapp, viber, Skype, we-chat, line.....and never ending.... Oh my God..! And even more surprising fact is, it's almost impossible to live without these now cuz we check status every day...every hour...every minute! Updating different status messages in each of these applications...lol.. sometimes I think are we psycho...? Har ek app pe 1 hi bande ka alag status... its stupid but hey...this is the new era! Samay ke saath kadam se kadam milaake chalo....arreyy but samay hi bhaaga ja raha hai...kadam nahi ab to ungliyaan chalti hai...haha :P.
Its the new techno-freak generation....time of "Connecting People". Guess we have taken this word very seriously..ehh... Now-a-days we have less patience...less time...So what we desire is instant messaging or talks, be it for personal or professional purpose within a second... My!! We could never have imagined this few decades back. I mean my mother still has lot of problems in using internet but we help her do it because 'ab letters aur telegrams ka zamaana nahi raha.'

This, in great extent, has led to many problems physically and mentally. Since the advent of smart phones, tablets, etc, we are connected to our friends and colleagues all the time and need not even move from our seats.. This does create a lot of backache problems and strain to eyes and a big reason for people using specs. But what's worse is more and more of mental stress due to it. It becomes a bit stressful for us when the other person does not reply to the messages or calls, tough to handle it in that situation. For example:
In facebook, the tick mark and seen (with time) is a big stress monster, makes people think..."Ohh, he has read my message but has not replied yet, What's the matter?...Why, How come"... and all...
In whatsapp, worst still, single tick...double tick...status online, last seen...UGHH... 'Why has he/she not replied... its really very stressful in some point of situation.., and has lead to great mental torture for some people.. I mean I have seen few relationships surviving only on whatsapp and facebook.. it's really tough for them to handle it.
"Technology is a facilitator, not the master of our life", we need to understand this
to a larger extent. It is ultimately us who has to act maturely to such incidents and control on self because we love ourselves...don't we..??

Power of Storytelling

People like to socialize a lot, but more than that they love to tell their own incidences to others which maybe true, or combined with some silly lies...or in other words Storytelling. Since ages people have been sharing stories in every part of the world as means of knowledge spreading, entertainment, to inculcate moral and cultural values, etc in their own way. In earlier days, when writing was not prominent, people used oral communication and by drawing pictures in woods or walls and sharing stories to express their views or feelings. Now that the world is modernized and new technology is being used, storytelling has become more interactive and creative.
 Storytelling is an art in itself. It takes a lot of expressions, creativity, maturity and also immaturity to a great extent...Sometimes a child-like thinking makes the story so innocent and close to reality that it catches the listener's attention.
Narrating a story has a lot of power..we can easily make people understand exactly what we want to say through a simple live or self-made example. It made me realize that day when few years ago, I remember, I was very tired so I decided to sleep early say around 9.30pm. But by chance I decided to listen to some random songs in the radio before I sleep... I randomly tuned into Big92.7fm where a very soft calm voice of a man was saying something and in few minutes an old song was played just after he finished a part of that narration. It took my attention... It was a show "Yaad Sheher with Neelesh Misra", wherein this man, Neelesh used to narrate a story in such a beautiful way and connected to that was a song to enhance the particular situation running in the story... For example, there was a scene in the story where a guy was dreaming...and suddenly the song 'O hansini' was being played... Oh my God..!, it took my breath away... I mean such a thing can also be done... Again few days later, there was a narration of separation of a brother and sister...and then the song 'ek hazaaro me meri behna hai' was played...really enchanting... and believe me I almost regularly listen to it now...
Even there are different styles of telling a story for different ages, this attracts the people whom you want should listen to, this brings a boost to the script and to everybody. The listeners enjoy it and the speaker enjoys that people are interested to know, 'What's Next'? You can make people happy, or cry, or whine, or scared... Isn't it a beautiful art. It can be narrated by any person be it a child, adults or old-aged! Also when you see people are not taking interest you can suddenly change the climax and take it to an altogether different road..hehe..
That is the magic...how to get people like you and your style. Storytelling is not an easy task, but it is one way of improving your skills on each aspect because for telling stories you should know a lot about anything and everything :)

Life is simple and beautiful...appreciate it!

Humans are the most beautiful creations of God... and then God let us choose our own path by our own way...called LIFE....and with life comes 'Aesthetics'.
Life is a roller-coaster throughout ! Full of new hurdles, challenges, opportunities! People say Zindagi, kesi hai paheli haaye.... Well, I say... Zindagi ek safar hai suhaana...! Life is too simple to lead...it is we, who make it complicated all the time... fizul kharchte hai mann aur dimaag ko jiski koi zarurat hi nahi... Life is all about how you wanna make it not what and how it makes you!
Human nature by default is made such that no need can ever satisfy us.. we want a bunglow if we have a small house, we want money n fame even if we can afford our living, the funny part is, we like those things owned by others rather than appreciating what we have..! We have so many desires and wants and for fulfilling those, we strive to achieve them by different means...But why do we react to things around us what makes us happy or sad...what makes us reason...
Well....with life, many other things comes along which makes us emotional and ability to think or reason and react to situations in our daily life... The primary feeling and mental status of a person is described beautifully in our Hindu Sanskriti as "RASA" or aesthetics. Rasas describe the way we show our emotions and reaction to our senses. It was earlier used in different Indian forms of art e.g. Dance, Music, Dramatics and so on... In total there are 9 rasas or what we call is Navarasa which are as follows:

• Śṛngāram (शृङ्गारं) Love, Attractiveness. Presiding deity: Vishnu. Colour: light green.
• Hāsyam (हास्यं) Laughter, Mirth, Comedy. Presiding deity: Pramata. Colour: white.
• Raudram (रौद्रं) Fury. Presiding deity: Rudra. Colour: red.
• Kāruṇyam (कारुण्यं) Compassion, Tragedy. Presiding deity: Yama. Colour: grey.
• Bībhatsam (बीभत्सं) Disgust, Aversion. Presiding deity: Shiva. Colour: blue
• Bhayānakam (भयानकं) Horror, Terror. Presiding deity: Kala. Colour: black
• Vīram (वीरं) Heroic mood. Presiding deity: Indra. Colour: yellowish
• Adbhutam (अद्भुतं) Wonder, Amazement. Presiding deity: Brahma. Colour: yellow
• Śāntam Peace or tranquility. deity: Vishnu. Colour: blue

Each rasa has its original and distinctive feature and it is believed that each person living in this earth possesses all of these aesthetics and uses these emotions almost every day! It is so beautiful that those expressions are well defined and that every bit of mental status counts in our life because without these we are as good as animals. Why are we different from other species made by God is because we know how to express, think and feel and most importantly sometimes using only gestures to communicate! That is the most sophisticated and wonderful gift to the mankind.
And so this is how we are happy seeing nice things, annoyed seeing bad things and evoke feelings for such worldly things which occupies mind throughout. Life is all about us and only us because we only are the ultimate decision maker of our life...and therefore nothing is good or bad, it is we who perceive it as good or bad!
                                          Life is a beautiful and rare gift...appreciate it..!

....Adieu....

Ooooo My God..!! 2 long, crazy, fantastic, life-changing, unforgetful years of my life..."MBA", The Batch 2011-13... HMMmm..... The 'THE DAY' has surely come so close that it's just not possible to negate the fact that we will be graduating very verry soon and will be eligible to face the World .... It's been a very interesting journey for me at IMT-Nagpur for two mind blowing years learning new theories and skills and understanding so many minds at large... :)
This day I pen down as I remember my days when I got my letter from IMT that I'm selected in the Nagpur campus and that I will have to live in the campus for the next two years....Super-excited but tensed as to how will I manage without mumma n papa.... But as soon as I stepped into the campus in June,2011 the ever extending greenery and huge campus embraced me and welcomed me to come inside fearlessly.... Me, being a pampered child, went into the 'red bricks' campus and soon called it my Second Home....HOME AWAY FROM HOME...(as it was my own property.. :P). I performed four major roles in this campus at large.... A Student, A Junior, A Batchmate and most exciting of all.....A Senior!! And so proudly I can say I performed all my duties satisfactorily :) :)
As a student, we were taught various subjects and was given a choice to master in the subjects which you can closely relate to. Me, being a people-oriented person, chose HR and Marketing as my specialization and then went by exploring the A..B..C.. of them. It was a great learning experience and going into the depth of each new concept seemed so thrilling, I then actually felt what fun  inquisitiveness can be..!! I thank my faculty who made me reason for what is what, why is it so, and how can it be solved...
As a junior....ahhhh....Trust me... I was dam scared as the Day-1 at the campus when I saw my seniors they were looking at us as carnivorous animals..., looong-awaited for their prey.. hehe...
I had previously never experienced what ragging..(or in IMT-N terms, Healthy Interaction or 'HI') meant, but the 1st week was a non stop ragging session and believe me, that was also an 'Ice-breaking' session with seniors...We had really nice and caring seniors...I could have never got better seniors than them....trust me..! Super-cool, fearless and ready for anything attitude was engraved in each of them... In their presence I learnt a lot...A LOT...!!!
But this was also the time I broke ice with my own colleagues, my batchmates....and first and foremost...My Own Section-A..! I slowly but surely made a tiny space in the hearts of many of my batchmates..and started calling them 'FRIENDS'....(well, yeahh...friends play a very major role in my life...). But as everyone needs some few, selected ppl as close friends....well I found it bit hard to discover mine, but in the mean time I discovered a lot of other people with whom I would have never interacted if I wud be confined to a "Group"... Finally I got some buddies with whom I could relate to and very selected whom I could call as "My Best Friends" and not to forget... a big word which I never knew would be existing in a dictionary but sure it was... "Alter Ego"..!! OMG...its a tough word indeed...but yes Only One person can be ur alter ego...I will miss her....Will miss her a lot...!! Actually my batch is the coolest and the most fun-loving and hard working batch in my eyes...and I'm definitely proud of being a part of this.. :)
Hmmm....So... After we came back to campus from our internships....we already had this feeling that we were the KINGS of The Campus...you know....what we call as SENIORS..haha :P, And time for "HI" :).. Thodi bohot ragging li..but zyada nahi li...we were nice seniors ehhh...lol. :P. The junior batch was much more 'padhaku' and serious sorts..but kahi na kahi humne thoda bohot apne jaisa bana to lia hi tha..hehe... I made it a point of talking to as many juniors as possible...and surely I did so... The best part, "They Love Me.." hehe... For some I was an advisor, for some I was just the same age group girl.. for some I was respected senior and for some...haha...I was the ultimate one... "MAA...". Well...hehe...that title was given by those juniors whom I taught more about My Passion....MUSIC.. those few were deeply involved in music so together we jammed...discussed about music...learnt and enjoyed a lot... and for some very few juniors, I was also loved...a lot... :) I will miss all of them...
This campus has given me more than I could ever imagine....and was a lifetime non-stop learning experience which I will endeavour forever....and ever...
As I will convocate from this beautiful campus...I am proud that I will take back so many good memories with no hard feelings...
WILL MISS IMT-NAGPUR.... <3>

Lamhe.....

Kese hum kisi apne ki baat itni aasani se samajh lete hai..
ki unki khaamoshiyaan padhna aasan ho jata hai
aisa lagta hai ki ban gaye do jism ek jaan
aur phir saara jahaan ek sa ho jata hai...

Wo jahaan jo kabhi andhero me quaid thaa
wo raaste jinki seema nahi thi koi..
wo manzile jinka koi ata-pata nahi tha...
aur usi mod pe aakar khada ho jata hai koi..

Uski  ek jhalak din ko roshan kar jaaye...
uski mehez aawaz se ruuh ko sukoon aa jae...
uski aankhon me doob jaane ko ji chaahe..
aur sab waadiyaan hasin lagni lag jaaye

Sirf wo aur mai
aur milon tak kuch nahi ho jahaan..
mai usko sunti rahu aur wo mujhe..
aur choti si duniya basaa le hum wahaan

Aisi duniya jahaan nafrat ka naamo-nishaan nai ho..
aisi duniya jahaan sirf pyaar aur apnapan ho..
aise lamhe jo sirf achi yaadein sanjo sake..
wahi ho...aur kuch bhi na ho...

Dil se....

Sometimes I am gathered by so many questions that it is really tough for me to set priorities for tackling each question. Above all, I'm not at peace even if 1 single question bothers me....I feel as if just get rid off with it. But at the same time it is also important to realize that you yourself are the sole reason for your own mess...
Life is too simple and clear....it is the person who perceives it in different ways and makes it all the more difficult one by one. The question conquers your mind in such a way that you are trapped in a vicious circle and no way out..!!! And those problems eat you up from inside like a deadly monster making you weak and depressed. Finally the depression steals your body-mind-and soul and you become as good as DEAD!! Just imagine......a problem can lead to death...So Dangerous..!
So, here what is needed is your patience, a positive attitude towards life and friends whom you can trust and tell what is going on.... Friends are the best people who will do their level best to pull you out from the ocean of doubts, who can untie the trap of troubles and who will definitely bring you back to life.. One must never feel lonely or helpless because your friends can't just see you worried yaar....!
And...believe me....That's what friendship is all about...being together no matter what :)
Well, if I talk about myself, I am a kind of a person who is always ready to listen and solve other's problems but will rarely share my problems and worries with them.... That is not right naa.... You never know when a situation like this happens and you will be left all alone. I have got such good friends here at IMT-N who takes care of me like a small child....I can't even imagine what they must have felt when I had my gloomy days and didn't bother telling them...But when I told them, they just took me away from my bad days and helped me to bring the Original Me...!! Thank You Guys.. :). At the same time I also promise to share my happiness and sadness equally at each point......
