I am feeling sad because people in this world dont understand me,
I am feeling sad because people of my country dont understand me,
I am feeling sad because people in this state dont understand me,
I am feeling sad because people in my city dont understand me,
I am feeling sad because people in my location dont understand me,
I am feeling sad because my friends dont understand me,
I am feeling sad because my close ones dont understand me,
What is the use of feeling sad when you dont understand any of them.
Change your mindset.

Stay on Ground!!!
Q: What is a Machine?
Defn 1: Machine is anything that reduces human effort.
Defn 2: Machines are any combination of bodies so connected that something something relative motion something something. Well i dont remember the full definition.
I am sure not one would have missed this dialogue. It is from 3 Idiots. Is it a fact that Engineers love to complicate things. I believe it is not the case with Engineers alone, it is the case with everyone. Bada Chadakae bolne ka maza hi alag hai. No one including you understands what you have just uttered. Recently I had gone to Nirma University for a competition. We had to identify some problems and suggest solutions for that. We were competing with one of the top Institutes in India IIM-A. Well when the question was straight forward, the guy from IIM-A brought out so many things which were irrelevant and till the end i couldnt figure out what he had said and in what way was it connected to the question posted. The irony was IIM-A won the competition. Day before when i was working out solution for a problem, i got the same comment from my friend. "Engineers love to complicate things." He was probably right. There could have been more than 1 solution to that. But still, probably my brain was trained that way. Is it that there is something wrong with our education system or is it the way we enjoy saying things in a hyped manner so that the other person thinks that we are one of the blessed ones to have this much knowledge. Well it is something to ponder upon. But better stay on ground with your legs steadily grounded rather than flying high and getting hurt falling down later.

Valentine's Day
14th Morning
A wonderful day for all. I was no exception in experiencing that great day. Though for many, it was a lovers day out. For me, it was a Friends day out. After 2 days of preparation and aweful execution, i needed some kind of stress buster. A long walk along with my 2 close friends around the Nirma University campus really rejuvenated my mind. We were supposed to start to Pavagad early morning that day. But unfortunately due to my love for sleep, i couldnt get up which forced us to cancel the plan. I was feeling bad for not having explored the campus even after 2.5 days of stay there. When i asked my friends, they readily agreed (nothing new). Though only for a very short time of 2 hours, it did drain out all the tensions of India (That day was a great day).

Yesterday Vs Tomorrow
Air Pollution - Because of the harmful emission of gases by the turbines, nu solla aasayathaan iruku. Oru flow ku nalla thaan irukum. But it is because of the same effect by the vehicles on road.
Sound Pollution - Silla Sandai Sacharava veetla irukarathu arasiyalla sagajam appa but it is because of the 24 hours honking vehicles.
Bread jam vida koduramanathu inda Traffic Jam.
Being a college going student in a busy busy busy city, i get to experience them daily.
But yesterday when i was taking a walk along the roads of my village at around 7, it was all silent. I very rarely heard a sound, that too mostly of the cycle bell. Very calm streets with very few people moving around. The fresh cold air blowing across my face, the aroma of the earth filling m nose. To add an icing to the cake, there was a power cut (no no ethum thappu nadakala.) and i was guided by the moonlight (nadakarathukuthaan). I have no clue as to when i will get to experience these all again, but it just goes down in my books as a memory. When i get up tomorrow, i will be ready to face the fast moving world. I will have to get adjusted to the same fast walk from home to college in the heavy traffic to bear the lectures and the lecturers. And off course to meet my friendsssssssssssssssssssssssssss whom i had missssssssssssseeeeeeeddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The nearer, the farther. The farther, the nearer.
I was watching a television show in Vijay tv which Gopi was hosting. A realisation was put forth to the Ayarathil Oruvan crew. The movie had made a guy to read about his hometown Tanjore. This is not the first time that something like this is happening. When something is nearer to us, we seldom care about that. In fact we dont even care to bother about that. But we are very much eager to know more about things which are very far from us. Well many of us know about the egyptian mummies, but if the same question is asked about the Ahgori's of Kasi, many of us would just blink as if they were asked a question about some other universe in existence. Even i wouldnt have known until i saw the movie Nan Kadavul. I was taking a stroll with my friend in the streets near my college. His mom had asked him to visit a temple and he had not done that. The best part was the temple was just 5 mins walk from our college and he was staying there for nearly 6 months. Is this take it for granted attitude going to help us. Why others, let me take my own example. The National Library (The largest library of our Country.) was just 2 mins from my home in Kolkata. But i never bothered to go there. But there are exceptions in my case, One is the restaurant and the other is the Cinema theatre. I have never hesitated to go there because i like both or may be that was one of my way of passing time. Even Humans are not spared. When a customer goes to a shop to buy something, the shopkeeper would be more than keen to help him. When the same help is needed at home, it rarely happens. This attitude is not going to help us in any way as things get farther, we feel a slight tinge of pain of not having acknowledged that.
