Happy B'day Pops

Dear pop's,

It an irony that I am writing a letter to the person who has taught me how write one.Its your birthday but I don't have  a gift for you.But I am proud that I couldn't have anything to give because there is nothing I can imagine that will do justice to the love ,respect and gratitude I have for you.What I am now is itself the best and the most beautiful gift you have given me.
Sitting at a comfortable chair at my college I remember:-


  •  You used to take all my books to office and read  them and print Q/A and I used to simply read them . Teachers used to think I am  good at studies, even though I didn't even know the names of those books.
  • I remember the final exam of Maths in 7th class ,there was a holi vacation of 2 days and I was totally nervous ,you sat with me though all syllabus teaching  me those "Fatima bought 100 eggs and all" and I ended up getting 100.
  • I remember all your cajoling to participate in debates ,writing those debates for me and even teaching how to orate  in front of crowd. ( I remember those 15th august speeches at patratu DAV school where you sat in the crowd with a waving hand to boost up my confidence). 
  • You being there at every parent teacher meet and discuss every single marks I lost, with teachers.
  • I remember the preparation for bansals in the Delhi guest house and you waiting outside the gates of test centers with a smile.
  • And the best thing I remember ,you waking me up every morning by asking how I will beat the toppers like this? .And that made all the difference, it wasn't I who beat them but you.
And your best words "don't think of result ,"jo ho gya so ho gya aage ka dekhiye"," always plan".

I haven't seen God but if mom is my religion then you are my God.

 Happy B'day
Saurav

    Does your religion depend on God, if not than it's ok, if yes, than I have many questions for you, and you won't like to answer them. I think the last line is not fair for your mother, you could have said that about your soul.

A letter to Kapil Sibal

Dear Uncle, Sub: Close coaching classes but do something about quality of teachers in gov. colleges. I don't have your mail Id and you don't seem to be on facebook or other social networking sites either ( though   66A of the IT Act amended by United Progressive Alliance  shows how much you are connected to cyber world). Regular mail will never  reach upto you.                                                                           Sir ,I want to congratulate you on your out-of-box reforms in the educational field by some huge changes in Entrance test patten.And indeed they are strong steps in uprooting "Private Coaching hubs" like Kota and getting the real talent to National level.Certainly sir ,I can't agree more with you ,these are huge money sucking lices .But sir, I am pre...

The last Onam.

Image
                                ( photo courtesy:- Vaishakh karthikeyan) It wasn't different from any other sunday except waking up to the drum beats. I knew SAC (student affair council ) had organised Onam celebration today but for a 4th year guy (who hasn't been placed yet and who don't know any clairvoyant ) there are far more important things than being gregarious .But  finally I decided to go out and have a look at what was going on at the football ground. When I  reached the football ground ,what I saw was no different than any of the previous year's but still when I realised that this might be the last time I am going to see any of this ,my apathy turned into a little unacceptable regret. There was a crowd in front of me dancing in euphoria and the beauty of the scene was beyond  my words . Guys in their black kurta and white dhoti ,girls in their beautiful traditional attir...

I am a fake

Sometimes I think,” If eyes are the windows to the soul then grief is its door, as long as its closed, its the barrier between knowing and not knowing, walk away from it and it stays closed for ever. Open it and walk through it and pain becomes truth. And now I’ve faced the struggle for my own survival that I always knew was coming”......   Night at around 11.30,we  were returning from City to college .Not knowing if it was the cool breeze or the after exam mood as Akash asked “Sameer did you ever go to your parents, hug them and say that they are the best Parents and you love them too much..without any reason, just for the sake of what you are feeling...think of the response”. I saw his face and said “dude don’t  you think it seems a lil kiddish..I mean a lil awkward but that was a too intense question and my answers were not at all doing justice to the question”...................... Sometimes I think , I am the same person as the world looks upon me....
