Another Corner of My State...

Just like any other Sunday i'm back to blogger. i don't know what exactly to write but I've a strong feeling to start my day sharing my experience in where i stay now is Raigarh.

What we learn in Jindal is the Sense of Ownership. If one feels as an owner of the company then certainly he is going to enjoy his work as well as the workplace. and that's why i have a connection with this industrial city of steel & power. Situated in the heart of a lush green river valley,surrounded by cloud capped mountains, yes i'm talking about this very different corner of Chhattisgarh. where one will find dusty roads packed with trucks and a number of chimneys venting smoke. What once was a Princely State in British Era is now the Cultural Capital of Chhattisgarh with its own Kathak Gharana and annual classical music concert Chakradhar Samaroh.Very little people know about this city being famous for its Tasar Silk and Bell Metal Castings(known as Dhokra).

With more than 62 industries that form the backbone of its economy, Jindal Steel & Power is the largest sponge iron plant in world. Just 8 kms away from city, this integrated steel plant provides employment to a large number and has adopted more than 40 villages. one will find the logo of Jindal in each and every corner of the city. Late shri OP Jindal our beloved Babuji made possible the dreams of a millions by his noble thoughts and a strong vision. Known as Karmayogi, he was a fatherly figure to many and a supporting hand to the needy. Mr. Naveen Jindal , CEO of the company is an impressive personality and a sport enthusiastic. it is because of his strong commitment that we Indians have got our right to display our national flag atop of our house and industries. Taking india ahead is the company's motto and improving the life of all stake holders by sustainable industrial development is what makes Jindal unique. and being as a Jindalite i'm living my life king size that's what we call Jindal Way! :)

Let your Heart speak out

Give me Autumn to shed my tears

Give me Night to hide my sorrow

Give me Emptiness to bury my faith

Give me Solitariness to kill my soul...

Didn't i fail to confess my love for you?

Didn't i fail to be the man of your dreams?

Did i promised anything true?

Did i dreamed anything right?

Love me the way i am or

Hate me the way i used to be

Hold me tight the way i want or

Leave me alone the way i did

Let me know if you care for me

Let me know if you can fight for me

Let me know if you can die for me

Coz i don't want to break your heart anymore

I have gone very far from you i know

I have broken your trust i know

I have done injustice to you i know

Let me know if you still love me or not

I wish for your happiness

I wish for your well being

I wish everything you get in life

That i didn't save for you.

Let me speak out my heart one more time dear

I still love you the way you are

But now the meaning of my love has changed

Still i have a place for you in my heart

Let me speak out my heart one more time dear

I still think about you every time

But now my dreams have vanished

Still i want to have you in my mind

Still i want to be the man of your life...

                                                                               

Prasenjit Sarkar, Heartbroken. 

Down the Memory Lane In Search of Me...

My First Day In College

It was 8th August 2007 ( i very well know at 9 o'lock i wished my friend Prashant on his birthday) when i entered this very place with my Baba. I was new to the city, new to the people, got admission through the second phase of first round of AIEEE counselling that year. Got this institute in Raipur, Chhattisgarh without any branch. Like an ordinary fresher at that time i was supposed to know about the Dress Code for NIT juniors,but sadly i was dressed like a clown. While my Baba was busy looking for the admission process one of the students who really looked like a senior to me caught me on the way and pointing his finger shouted these out- "FUNDE ME AAJANA KAL SE NAHI TOH BAJA DUNGA TERI".( Heavens..I never ever heard this before...what was funda?).Suddenly Baba appeared. The senior smiled and corrected his statement, "oye hero, kal se formals, if you are from Bhilai batch then Stripes and if hosteler then Plain Full Shirt and Black Trousers. No Fancy shoes or belts. Ok? and yes no bike come in cycle if u can. got it bro?" my father complimented him for such a nice advice and was happy! God...wtf was happening? see...this is how a father feels when he leaves his only child in the college full of beasts!(that was my thinking at that time). Gushh...I never wanted to face that senior again in the college(not even in my life!).

After conforming admission in the Metallurgy Branch i walked a little more to the place where we all were instructed to. Civil Engineering Department Survey Lab. There Professor Mrs. Neela Ingle asked for our introduction. We all introduced ourselves and shared our hobbies and interests. It was a very interactive session. There I first met Rahul Sippy, a guy from Bhilai whose birthday was on 26th July just after mine...
Many Parents were there at the place. To some I got along with RishiRaj and Sourav..both came from West Bengal in same branch. Both searching for accommodation near college campus. At that time we had an acute problem of hostel as the NIT was just a year old and was upgraded from Government College of Engineering & Technology. So many more students but lesser infrastructure to complete our needs. We moved on and my search for a place to stay was going on with my new friends in Raipur. Hmm.....Raipur, the place I could only imagine full of jungles and Red Extremists at that time..so scary but yes I was going to stay over there for a long four years.My neighbours already scared me out that Chhattisgarh is not a safe place to go and I should move to Bangalore, Pune or Delhi for studies or even Jabalpur(from where I belong to) is good. But I decided to move out with a risk that I only could handle at that time. My parents supported me all throughout and yes I never made them feel low. Ma Kali Meri Raksha Karo..with a long breath I carried on. Day One made me really pissed off but yes I was going to be a B.Tech holder, sooner this feeling made my day! After-all something is better than nothing. And I was living with that kind of 'Something' that day.Now I don't repent on my decision. I proved myself right. And the result is out to the world. Thanks to Alma Mater for everything today I am. My friends , My seniors, My teachers and My parents. A Heartful of Thanks.

Happiest People on Earth? Indians, of course!

Starting from Happy holidays...Merry X-mas, Happy New Year is not the very end........2011 will be a year to value the most!!

2010: A Year of "HAPPY PEOPLE"
India shares an honest piece of appreciation of being not the happiest country but the country with the most happy people on earth.

The Worlds' Happiest Countries List clearly mentions Scandinavian States of Europe(Denmark,Norway,Sweden,Netherlands,Finland) followed by Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, Canada, Israel, Panama and Brazil. The survey took into account various parameters in study like basic necessities and luxuries,law and order,education,employment opportunities, career growth, corruption, health and family planning, national institutions, environmental ethics, religions and festivals,etc. Indeed these countries are the best in terms of Human Development Index and World Prosperity Index.
But where our country India Stands?
The Answer is here...

• We are proud to be Indians and we don't want any survey which maligns our country's reputation and prosperity in terms of Corruption, Caste System, Politics, TRP driven Media, Unemployable Graduates, Rural Sanitation, Price Rise and Environment Hazards(many more but then i will end it up somewhere else!)
• We are proud to have the Largest Written Constitution in the Biggest Democratic country with the Largest Youth Population. The Country which provides Food and Shelter to the Terrorists and Extremists but no security to its Own Citizens.

• We salute the Armed Forces, Doctors and Teachers who have taken the country to great heights in Defence, Medical, IT and Core Industrial Services. We also respect our Politicians who make us Fight over Mothertongue,Religion, Native Place and Caste System

• We are proud of  Great Saints like Nanak, Mahavir,Buddha,Paramhansa, Vivekanand, Dayanand, Rahim, Kabir, Mother  Teresa,Sister Nivedita, and Freedom Fighters like Bhagat Singh, Bose, Azad, Tilak, Patel and many others who have taken India to the World. We are also thankful to Notable people in National Parties that have set examples how Indians exploit the Country's Assets and Income to fill their own petty pockets. I congratulate all the upcoming millionaires and billionaires who have really made our CWG, 2G Spectrum, Naxalism and Cross Border Terrorism, Wikileaks Leaks, Price Rise, Corruption in Government Organizations a tremendous success.We will surely follow your footprints to further steal our own country and overload the Foreign Banks.

And finally i am thankful to all the media channels and newspapers who everytime come up with stories like Who Kissed Who, Who Slapped Where and Why, Who Danced Hot, Who Sold Shit,Who Became God and Who Met Aliens. Really Nostalgic!

Yes, We Indians are very much into habit of this. Despite of such Evils in our Society We embrace on Comedy Circus(Remember the Woman who laughs at her best on too much adult jokes? ), Laughter Challenge(That Cricketer turned Politician turned Actor(wow such a varietal personality) who really shows us a 100 reasons to laugh on screen) and Bigg Boss1,2,3 and 4 (public demand)...

(The Participants dont know that the Channel Viewers Laugh on them, so BARE for money!!) and yes these have become our role models. Gone are the days when people start fighting for getting a glimpse of Madhubala or Hema Malini...Janaab abhi toh Munni Badnaam hui aur Charche Sheila Ki Jawaani Ke hai!!!

Happy Holidays!!! May this New Year Bring More and More Happiness to my country(of dreams)...

P.S : There is a lot to think and lot to work. i don't say that writing a blog i can change a nation but yes i only know that i have made an impact to the one who is reading this post now. TY
