BLOG

Just 3 months back, I have come to know about this word . And now about its importance. Firstly, when I came to know about this then I have taken it as the assignments which we all have to do for clearing our TCOM module.

But today, I have understood its importance. This one is my 20th blog, and I am writing all these in this because this is the last blog of our assignment but not my last blog. Earlier when I wrote, then I don’t feel good because I was taking it just as my assignment, I felt myself pressurize. I thought already I am full of work, so many important things are there to do. I wanted to give more concentration on my programming as I was with the impression that clearing MGPT and computers module is important, but now I realized that your blog can become the mirror of your life. In this fast pace of life when you don’t get time to go to your native place, you find yourself helpless. You want to go to yours sister or brother marriage, but could not make it possible. And above all if you want to talk to someone, but no one has time to listen to you. And generally it happens that we don’t share each and everything with everyone who is known. And the person to whom you want to talk can be not in position to listen you at the same time when you want to tell him/her. This moment is really painful and and give the feeling of loneliness. At that time , you can write your feelings. Earlier people use to write on papers, but with the growth of technology we have the things like writing the blogs and posting it. It totally on you that you that to whom you want to give your Blog address.

In blogs, you can write whatever you wish to write, later you can also read it and realize whatever you have written is correct to what extent. Blogs writing is also a good practice to make your writing better.

At the start, I thought that once I will complete 16 blogs ( earlier it was told to us to write only 16 blogs for clearing TCOM module, but later it was increased to 20), I will not write any more. But, now I am finding a change in myself .

Actually, these days my routine is very hectic. I don’t get time to talk to my Mom and Dad in details, not even I think of meeting with any of my school friends who are in Bangalore. And, at night before sleeping when I think about my day time, then I realized that now-a-days, I am not giving time to any of my family members. And this makes me very upset, but I also know this is for a year only. But who knows, may be the person to whom I want to talk will become busy or even I will again be busy with my job. But one thing will be always with me as the mirror of my life – ya, my blogs about my feelings, blogs about my opinion on any issue, blogs about my thinking and blogs about my understanding.

I know it is something philosophical, but again it is true. I am not denying that everyone don’t want to write, but from my school days I like writing.
That time it was poems, but as everyone knows that changes are the part of life according to your likeness and needs. Now as I am not able to spend much time with my family and friends , so I have decided to write my feelings as my blogs whenever I will feel like that.

SA RE GA MA PA

Don’t you think that one of the best Musical show is on Zee T.V . Yes, I am talking about Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. This show has made an important place in everyone’s heart. Especially, the person who is the lover of musical program don’t want to miss it .

We all wait for Friday and Saturday night to watch this wonderful show. From 10 pm to 11 pm and sometime till midnight, you can easily find people sitting near the television. “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa “ was the oldest musical program which has given the chance to so many singers to perform on the stage and also so many participants have got opportunity to sing in movies. Now-a-days, every know very talented Sunidhi Chauhaan – yes, she was one of the contestant of this musical show.

The first host of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa was very talented Sonu Nigam . And now son of very popular singer Udit Narayan -- Aditya Narayan has got his first break as a host of a very popular program. If you will compare the age of first host and today’s host , then definitely found that Aditya is like his son.

That’s why it is said that people come and go but life never stop. In the same manner, show like sa-re-ga-ma-pa should never stop. This show has given the opportunity to so many singers, among those - so many are doing very well in his/ her career. I strongly feel that this is the most important aspect of this show .

Hey, I don’t know about you people but if somebody ask me about my favourite episode of this show then I will tell about that episode in which Sameer has sung the song “Tujhse Naraj Nahin Zindagi” and Deewakar has sung “Ek Pyaar ka Nagma hai”. Both songs come under my favorite list. Especi,ally, song sung by Sameer – “ Tujhse Naraj”, that day he had sung so well .
Very correct, I am talking about the sa-re-ga-ma-pa Little Champ. And these two guys are the first runner-up and second runner-up of that contest. And how can I forget to tell the name of the winner of that show, yes, she is a girl Sancheeta. All three were really superb. And see – at this small age they are touching the sky, they have made their parent proud and above all very secured career for themselves. But we should not forget that it is all because of Zee TV’s Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa.

In this context, we should not forget to take the name of our host, because if this show is so popular, then also because of the host who plays a major role to make the show hit.
I remember, during Little Champ, Shaan was hosting the show. I can tell about Shaan that he is simply the best and very down to earth person. I appreciate that although he is a very popular and successful singer , but still worked ar an anchor. It shows his greatness and nothing else.

This time Aaditya Narayan is hosting the show and really doing great job. Once again , Zee TV is giving the chance to very young contestants from all over the world. I have heard that participants from ten countries are coming to take part in this competition.

I really wish that this time also Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa will become a great hit.

My First Sports camp (MAHATMA HANSRAJ ARYAN TOURNAMENT)

I am sure that you people will be thinking that what is Mahatma Hansraj Aryan Tournament. If anyone is from D.A.V. Public School, then he/she will not ask. Because every DAVides know about it very well. Firstly, I will tellyou about M.H.R.T - It is tournament organised by DAV Public School every year in the month of September (last week)or first week of October. It is organized at zonal level i.e.- North Bihar Zone and Nepal zone. All the D.A.V. of N.Biharand Nepal zone are invited by the host D.A.V. to take part in this tournament. We call it sports camp.

I was the one from my branch who had always participated in sports. I love all kind of outdoor games, but my main events were Shotput, Discuss throw and Javelin throw (ya, all throw events).

Today, I am going to tell about my experience in sports camp and perhaps it was a Golden period in my life. I had started participating when I was in Std.- 9th and then every year till my last year in school i.e. - 12th standard.

My first sports camp was in Barauni, organised by D.A.V. Barauni. It was five days sports camp and since it was the first time I was going out of my town, my family members were not ready to send me. They were with some wrong impression about this camp. But I got selected by my P.T.I. and it was very well known to me that there is no one in my school who can compete withme. I had a fight with my family members for one complete week. Finally, I had decided to talk to my Grand pa. He was asupremo of our joint big family. And as I was the first child of my family, so people think so many time before telling me -- NO. In other words I can say that I am "Ladli" for everyone. When I had told my Baba ( I call Baba to my Grand pa) aboutthis trip then he had replied in a very loving way that ok, I will talk to your papa and then get back to you. During that time, I was really in tension so in a very straightforward manner I had told my Baba that you can talk to anybody to whom youwant but I want final answer in YES. That time I was little annoyed. Then he started laughing and told my mom and otherswho were there at that time that she will definately go. And if anybody thinks that there is problem in sending her alone, then go for some other solution. Suddenly, smile came on my face and I was behaving with other family members (who were notsupporting me including my mom) like a winner. Really, for me this was like winning a battle when you are fighting alone withso many heads. I have thanked my grand pa with smile and start doing my packing for next battle in sports camp. We had started early morning from the school main gate by bus and reached Barauni at night time. All the students were doinghungama and masti during trip but I was quite. Actually, I was thinking about my events. I was thinking that I am the champof my school but there will be so many participants who will come from different parts of N.Bihar. It was not so simple forme, anything can happen in sports. But I was finding my condition different from others. I had to WIN. I didn't have anyother option as I was the only hope of my P.T.I. and also it was a question of my school reputation as well as my reputationin my big family because almost all were against me at the question of coming to camp for five days. And I had managed tocome after one week of discussion on this topic. I had to clear my way for next year also.

As I have told you, we have reached at night. There were volunteers who had received us and shown our room to keep ourluggages. We all gals were in one room and after taking bath, we all gathered for our dinner. It was arranged in one bigopen place under the tent. There we had seen so many participants, I was looking for the gals from other school who were taking part in my events. In other word , I can say I wanted to see all my competitor. But, it was a very first day in campso we were only with our goup member and teachers.

After dinner while going to our room, we had got time-table for all the events which was going to start from next day morning.We woke up early in the morning, after becoming ready, we had our breakfast at 8 am and then by 9am, we all were in stadium, just adjacent to school. First day, I was free. My event was on 2nd day. I was doing practice and also cheering other participants from my school. I had also got chance to interact with other participants from different school. I had met galnamed mili, she was from D.A.V.Public School, Muzaffarpur. And last year winner of shotput throw. She really looked like asports girl. And the way she throwed the shotput was really scaring me. Her movement before throwing was really good.I was very nervous from inside. I throw in a very simple manner. First day events were over by 6pm and we came back in ourroom. This night was very long for me. I was trying to sleep, but no. Whole night, I was thinking about my events.

In Morning, again after breakfast, we assembled in the stadium ground. My event was supposed to start at 11am. At the exacttime, I was in that part of ground where it was going to start. There were so many participants for this events. There werethree Judges. According to the name in their sheet, they started calling our name one by one. My turn was 13th, so many studentsfrom my school and also some of my classmates were at some distance to cheer me. I had taken my position and I had thrownthat with full power. Distance wise, it was a fantastic throw more than anyone else had thrown. But, someone from other school shouted - DISQUALIFIED. I was shocked and looking at the judge - He had also told that I am disqualified. I left thatplace and after going 100mts from there, I started crying like anything. Then, one of my classmate to whom I treat as my big brother had come to me and asked why You come here?? Now there are two more chances for you, still you can win and hehad also told me that this Gold medal is yours and i have seen the throw of all the girls in the first round - no oneis there wha can compete with you. He had told me to come fast and sing the song "AAJ MAIN UPPER, AASMAAN NICHE....".After listening that there are two more chances for me, I again went there, so many persons were looking at my face. Thistime, I had not moved much but with full power I had thrown the iron ball at the midpoint of the circle, and you willnot believe but this throw had broken all the previous record. It was 7mt-90cmt. All started clapping for me, now there wasno confusion that where this Gold medal will go. It was mine. After event one of the judge had told me to stay for a moment. They wanted to see my capability, althougt they had declared 1st, 2nd and 3rd winner. Then also, they had told me to throwagain and again, and I had seen them noted down something in one diary. I don't know, what was that??

But, it was a great day for me. All team members and my P.T.I. were very happy. My P.T.I. had informed my Principal, he wasalso very happy and announced to give me track suit after coming back to our school.

I had decided not to inform at my home as directly I wanted to show them my Gold Medal. In camp, we had a great time. After five days of camp, we returned back. It was noon time , when I reached at my home. One of my uncle was outside home , I sawhim but ignored as I wanted to give this gold Medal to my Grand pa. It was all because of him. I had entered in his room andtold him that its for you. He became so happy that I can't explain in words. He called all family members and shown my GoldMedal to everyone. That time all were happy and quitely appreciating me. Mom was also very happy and telling everyone on phone that I have won the Gold Medal at zonal level. Everyone at home and evenoutside home were appreciating me and talking about that time when I was fighting with everyone at home for going. Thatmoment was really a Golden moment for me.

GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming, in other words gradual increase in the temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans. In my last blog I talked about change in lifestyle. There is always –ve impact assiciated with +ve. Just like every action has a reaction. Global warming is one example. With so many change in lifestyle, people are moving more towards their outer development. Every one has a dream to have house in centre of the city with good AC car. They cut trees to build their house. One of the main reason behind the global warming is due to increase in greenhouse gases. Trees help us to reduce that. But only fewer people understand this. Some people tend not to understand even though they understand. Gradual climate change may lead to warmer earth and a warmer earth may lead to less rainfall, a rise in sea level. This may affect wide range of plants, wildlife, and humans. We learn about benefit of plants in primary classes. Increased greenhouse gases i.e. CO2, SO2 can create hole in ozone layer. Whoever has gone through primary education, he must understand the benefits of plants. Then why are we hesitant to implement this. When you go to hill stations, you praise about the greenery there. But when you are back to your home town, you forget about it. Why can’t you think of making your town green? The same can be done at your home town also.

Causes of Global warming:
Using CO2 emitting vehicle.
Emission of CO2 from factories and power plants.
CO2 from Airplanes.
Cutting trees. Deforestation.

How can we help :

Reduce power consumption by using low power consuming utilities like CFL. Use solar lamp, solar geezer, Solar heater. Buy electric saver product such as TV, Computer with ENERGY SAVER mark.
Use CNG vehicle. Driving car and auto using electricity is also not a bad idea. Walking small destination will also help you as well as environment.
Do as many plantations as you can. You can also advise others to do the same. Talk to your family and friends and make them aware of global warming causes. Let them know what you have learnt so far.
Recycle plastic bags, used cans, bottles and papers.

NIGHT WITH LIGHT

We all love Nature and Natural beauty. I have not heard anyone saying I don’t love twinkling stars in night, blowing wind, flowing river, moon, flowers, trees , birds and so many others gift of nature. All these things are more than enough to on your mood.

As you now from my earlier blogs that I love writing poem whenever I feel like that, whenever I feel alone, whenever I sit in lonely place for long time, whenever I think about my dream, whenever …………….. leave it.

Today once again I am going to publish one more poem. It is on Nature and its beauty. One summer night, I was alone on my terrace continuously looking at sky . I was enjoying to look at the stars , weather was also very pleasant. And suddenly, I started writing.

Have a look at this poem and you will find it different from previous one .

Light with Night

Whenever I sit on my terrace………
In the moonlit night,
I see glimmering stars
With weak, faint and unsteady light.
Suddenly, a glimpse touches ……….
Inner part of my soul,
I fear with awe and start to investigate,
Is everything okay or is there any hole?
Blowing air touches my hair on the roof,
Slowly and slowly my loneliness disappear,
Wind tells something soft in my ear.
To differentiate it as a dream or reality, I fear.
Twinkling stars, silvery moon and glowing glowworms…
All gives wonderful light in the night.
Just thinking about these , I feel….
The day will come when everyone’s life will become
Happy & Bright.

Data Structure on Sunday

It is really very difficult to go somewhere far away from your home on Sunday, when there are very few buses. And if your are looking for bus from BTM to Electronic City, then be ready to stand at the bus stop for at least 30min. or it may be for long duration. And, if you are waiting for Volvo, then really difficult to get on Sunday. It is my experience.

But sometime, if you want to achieve something then you will have to ready to cross the obstacles which will come in your way of achievements.

Actually, today I want to tell about one of our DS class which was conducted on Sunday by our subject teacher Raman Sir. Firstly, something about Raman Sir ----- No doubt, very good teacher who has knowledge as well as way of expression is also very good. He has ability to make the things clear to us. And, It is for sure that in his class one can not feel sleepy.

On 9th September (Sunday), he had conducted extra class of Data Structure to clear our doubts if any and he had planned to cover one new chapter as we were little behind as per time table given to us. He had told us that he will start the class at 10am and continue till 4:30pm.

On that Sunday morning, I had reached BTM bus stop near to my home at 8:00am. Till 9am, I was waiting for Volvo, but unfortunately I had not got, then I had taken the bus for Silk-Board and again after 15 min I had got another bus for electronic City. Finally, I had reached there , but again not got any auto , then I started walking and reached my institution on time.

He had started the class on time and given us some time to ask about any doubts or difficulties in any chapter which we have already covered. At the beginning, no students were asking any questions , but after some time we had started asking questions and he was trying to clear our doubts. Firstly, he had taught about arrays , linked list, circular queue, trees, etc. At around 1pm , he had given us lunch break and told us to come back at 2:15 pm. But when we returned back, he had asked whether we want to continue the class or not, as there was a cricket match
on that day. Everybody had told ---- NO. Then, he had us leave for that day.

But no doubt, whatever he had taught us was really beneficial. And we all students should be grateful to him that he had spoiled his Sunday and came for our benefits.

Change in Life Style

I remember going market with my Mom carrying a bunch of jute carrybags or a basket in hand. Let it be shopping vegetable or clothes for family. Caary bags are must. But now you go empty handed. The basket has been replaces with trolleys and polythene bags took over jute bags. Even the money has been replaced with plastic money mostly reffered as credit cards or debit cards. Hypermarket took over mandi and malls replaced what we use to call as main market. Even public carriers have improved. Those days we use to have Riskshaw with a man pulling it or cycling it from market to home. Now we have auto rikshaw. Local convience like trains and busses have advanced to AC Busses and underground metro trains. Earlier we use to have market place spread across acres with a section of vegetable market with dirty lanes. But now you just need to enter into mall and infact you get every thing starting from food, sports item, Books, Groceries, Vegetables and anything you can imagine. Just remember to have plastic card or enough cash in your pocket and infact you can buy everything you want.

This was just a dream a decade back but see how fast India has grown. The new era started when our hounerable Prime Minister Mr. Rajiv Gandi brought IT industries into India. Along with IT industries there came loads of foreign currency and that truly changed the life style of India.

People are getting crazy about brands. No matter how much it cost you, if it belongs to your favourite brand, you don’t even give sencond thought. Almost every marketting place or shopping malls you can get your favourite brand showroom. First time when I heard of multi-plex I was surprised. How can you have multiple movies running on the same theatre? The concept of just watching movies has been changed to total entertainment. You get comfortable push back chairs with a coffee tray attached and couple of service men ready to serve you your favourite burger with Pepsi. Once you get out of movie you feel totally relaxed, chanting about various scenes and clips of the movie.

There is also bad part of it. People are getting more careless about their attire. Specially girls getting more fashionable. This give unnecessary invitation to rowdy elements. And also it spoils Indian culture. Hike in prices is other adversity of growing lifestyle because people are getting more careless in spending money. As long as the lifestyle is in our cultural limits, the life is good otherwise it invites a dark future for your siblings.
