At present, I'm about 500 kilometres away from home, undergoing a summer intern-ship in an Oil Company. Few of my university seniors work in the same company. Today, as I was walking through the market area with one of my friends (Shantanu) undergoing the same intern-ship, I was suddenly greeted by a senior (Sid Da). …
It was during my intern-ship at Oil India Limited, Duliajan, Assam this year when I got to interact with many people and got a glimpse of their lives. Usually during the field visits to the oil wells, I used to sit in the front seat of the vehicle and talk to the driver during the …
Textual knowledge is not everything in life. Marks may get you a good rank or pointer, but will hardly help you cope up with today's world. What one requires today are skills, wits and presence of mind. Education teaches us many things. But there are some certain things that do not fall into the ambit …
I do not remember the last time I saw a clear, starry night sky. Last night, as I stood by the balcony and looked up to the sky, I could see very few stars although it was a clear sky with almost no clouds at all. Where did the stars disappear? I kept wondering as I …
Being social is good, but being too social is definitely harmful if you do not know how to maintain your checks and balances. Let me explain it like this: Look at yourself. Are you too social? If yes, then you have a lot of friends you care about. You share your joys and sorrows with …
Yesterday, after having lunch at a hotel in the city, I was returning to my university (which is in the outskirts of the city) in an auto rickshaw. It was a public vehicle and stopped for anyone on the road to pick them up. As it stopped near the railway station, a boy got into it and …
Last night, while going through a book by Napoleon Hill, I found this interesting creed which was written by a woman for her husband. The woman asked her husband to sign the creed and hang it in front of him where he could see it all day long while at his work. The man …
Winter has just dawned in my city. The coldness of the smooth breeze on my face when I cycle around my varsity sends “happiness chills” to my body every evening. Its a wonderful feeling to ride through the nature, with the lovely sight of the sunset, the trees and the birds chirruping above the trees …
Diwali is coming... 1. When you shop and come back avoid talking about your purchases in the rickshaw/taxi in which you travel. The driver will feel bad because he can't buy the same for his kids. 2. When you burst firecrackers, give some to your watchman so that he can give it to his kids. You dont …
While everything comes with a price tag, you get free Wi-Fi at your hostel! What can be better!? Yes, I mean every word of it. Nothing comes for free today. Even drinking water costs money. But what I recently got in my hostel is something that comes for free. Okay, you already know it from …
There have been many inhuman activities going on around the world today. Murders, communal conflicts, international wars are a few deadly ones to name. The news from these happenings seem to be very disturbing every morning when I go through the news headlines. But today, something different hit me hard. I went through a video clip …

We live in a world of thugs. If you are not careful, you are most likely to be cheated by someone. Many say that good and honest people have almost become extinct. But something happened today, that made me realise that honest people do exist. It was around noon that I and …
Gone are those days when people used to remember the telephone numbers of their dear ones. In this age of tablets and smartphones, you just collect a number, save it to your device and forget about it. And if you are a bit geeky, you might sync the contacts of your device to your …
I have started blogging earlier this year. And ever since I have started blogging, I have been getting a lot of questions like “What is blogging?”, “Why do you blog?”, "What does one get by blogging?” and so on.
