color blindness is much better than normal vision...

Anyone who read this title will definitely gonna laugh at me...but not the intelligent one....there is a deep meaning inside this line...Now you must be thinking that everybody wants to be physically fit, mentally ofcourse so how could the color blindness be better...Recently the whole world's attraction centred to Australia and the victimised Indians...the news related to any attack got lot of media coverage in every form...if I am not wrong the total no. of attacks happened in the range of 20-30 which is really a shame...this proves that Australia failed in practicing Hospitality thought this is the most attractive course (theoretically) for students at OZ. The past is past and we can't bring it back but the question here is Why did it all happened? Is it because Indians are more smarter than people from all over the world and they are eating their jobs their or it just a racial attack...the difference which some time back Gandhiji zeroed by his satyagarah and by other efforts...Why we think that somebody who have black color is not a good person or not hygeinic but let me remind that our mythological God Shri Krishna is also black...Barack Obama is also black...and similar other examples. Aren't they the good examples of humanitarian...we have to change our mentality and broad our mind and accept the people with open heart and respect. But these incidents also brought the good learning as well (as I always said that every bad has something good in it)...The learning is that we also should respect people from our own country i.e., from north eastern region which never got that respect and recognition as other Indians Got in India...Whenever we heard of the racial attacks abroad we got irritated and angry but had we ever looked at ourselves. They are also the citizens of India and brothers and sisters of us so its my request to all who read this blog that please start respecting those people as well and give value to their emotions also and if anyone who is already feel that they are their brothers and sisters than please keep this spirit up and try to communicate this message among your friends as well....

the easiest way to get respect is to give respect first....

unforgettable time...

When
The school reopened in June,
And we settled in our new desks and
benches!

When we queued up in book depot,
And got our new books
and notes!

When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
We learnt writing with
slates and pencils, and
Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!

When we began drawing with crayons and evolved to
Color pencils and finally sketch pens!

When we started calculating
first with tables and then with
Clarke's tables and advanced to
Calculators and computers!

When we chased one another in the
corridors in Intervals, and returned to the classrooms
Drenched in sweat!

When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
Playgrounds,
under the trees and even in cycle sheds!

When all the colors in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays!

When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!

When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Neckties and socks rolled into balls!

When few played
'kabadi' and 'Kho-Kho' in scorching sun,
While others simply played
'book cricket' in the
Confines of classroom!

Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!

When we used to
watch Live Cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks!

When few rushed at 3:45 to
'Conquer' window seats in our School bus!
While few others had 'Big Fun', 'peppermint' ,
'kulfi', ' milk ice !' and 'sharbat !' at 4o Clock!
Gone are the days
Of Sports Day,
and the annual School Day ,
And the one-month long
preparations for them..

Gone are the days
Of the stressful Quarterly,
Half Yearly and Annual Exams, And the most
enjoyed holidays after them!

Gone are the days
Of tenth and twelfth standards, when
We Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!
We learnt,
We enjoyed,
We played,
We won,
We lost,
We laughed,
We cried,
We fought,
We thought.
With so much fun in them, so many friends,
So much experience, all this and more!

Gone are the days
When we used
to talk for hours with our friends!
Now we don't have time to say a `Hi'!

Gone are the days
When we played games on the road!
Now we
Code on the road with laptop!

Gone are the days
When we saw stars Shining at Night!
Now we see stars when our code doesn't Work!

Gone are the days
When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!
Now we chat in chat rooms......!

Gone are the days
Where we
studied just to pass!
Now we study to save our job!
Gone are the days
Where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on our hearts!!
Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart!!
Gone are the days
Where we shouted on the road!
Now we don't shout even at home
Gone are the days
Where we got lectures from all!
Now we give lectures to all... like the one I'm doing now....!!
Gone are the days
But not the memories, which will be
Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
Ever and ever and ever .....

Gone are the Days.... But still there are lot more Days to come in our Life!!
NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE ,
DONT FORGET TO
LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL
EXISTS..
